SPRICH

When I was a kid, it was forbidden to peruse DHMO during class, regardless how bad the withdrawal symptoms were.

What what, you can last over four minutes?

Mixing directly I got scrambled eggs far too often (no idea what I did wrong) so I switched methods. (Or runny sauce when I waited a moment before mixing)

If it works for you, perfect!

The bain marie is my workaround with the heat problems.

There’s one thing I do differently: I prepare the eggs and cheese in a metal bowl which I slowly warm up on top of the cooking pasta (Bain marie) while whisking it. Shortly before the pasta is done I’ll add the right amount of pasta cooking water with a ladle to make it nice and creamy.

This gives me plenty of time to do things and reach the perfect temperature without stress.

With the bain marie way, just let the pasta cool a moment before adding the sauce, to prevent the sauce from curdling (as it already has the perfect creamyness).

With this technique I find it very easy to control the temperature.

No it is the Superhochtechnologieministerium für Wisssenschaft, Technologie und Luft- und Raumfahrt. Use the right wording, dammit.

At least in Japan the middle aged men card trading game is a thing:

I was in an irish pub with two friends, saw there was a table with a few girls on the other side of the room and told my friends : When I look at you, wave!

Went over to the girl’s table and told them “I was discussing with my friends, and I said if I went over to your table, you’d instantly send me away” (Mentioning to my waving friends)

Girls: “No, why should we send you away?”

Got to know one of them closer.

Watching TV:

Here in the EU it is offensive/inappropriate to kill people.

There in the US it is offensive/inappropriate to make people.

So the difference is whether to make love or to make war. Personally I’d rather be a bononbo than a chimpanzee.

There was this weird guy around here who claimed women are 100% man - they have been made out of a man’s rib or so.

And a lot of people believed this guy.

“CD labeling pen” They sold permanent markers with thin tips specifically for writing on CDs.

HH has a meaning, unfortunately. If you’re German, you’ll know. Or if you’re Elon Musk.

BND: There’s a high probability that the last pandemic was caused by negligence in China.

US: Last Pandemic? Wait, hold my pisswater.

Very long time ago Electronic Arts (ECA at the time, with the cube, ball and pyramid logo) published amazing games.

I really really enjoyed my Racing Destruction Set or the Pinball Construction Set on the C64.

I’m just happy now I did pirate them and never gave them my money to cause what EA is now.

So in my eyes “ECA” is another company “EA” killed.

(40 years ago, when I was 15 - sue me, EA )

Someone forgot to add the googly eyes.

Also depends a lot on the oven. Incidentially today I bought a (used) new one (after I found it in local listings for 50 Eur - and sold off my old one for 30 Eur).

The old one goes to 260C, the new one gets to 300C. No way to make decent pizza in the old one (I tried) , but with the new one and a steel I’d have a chance.

I’m German so I have good access to Italian flour, for Pizza I use Caputo Pizzeria (for which I pay Eur 2.50 per kg). I order a few packages online.

Typical supermarket flour here has a lower protein content - so it can hold less water.

The Caputo is about 3 times the price of supermarket flour, but 1kg of flour is 6 (round) pizzas, so the difference is a few cent per pizza.

Check youtube for good information - damn, I forget the name of the channel, it’s a married couple showing Italian cuisine , he’s American she’s Italian. They have a video how they make the rectangular pizza in the household oven.

This is crazy, chatgpt just found what I was looking for from roughly the above description:

What a burn. The Tesla might even catch fire from this comment alone.
