I use fennel seed as a way to balance the bitterness of tomato sauce. I hate the actual seed, though (who likes biting into that!), so I use ground fennel seed instead.

Or you can just cook the tomatoes for a long time -they lose the bitterness :)

bbro!, Missed ya dear. :joylove:

I never found tomatoes bitter.

bbro, if you're using wine in your tomato sauce, let the alcohol evaporate before adding the tomatoes.

I love Indian/asian cooking and often use cumin and fennel seeds; never heard of ajwain.

But I hate caraway seeds. :yelsick:

Big trouble, in little pool.;)

I had seen whirlpools before, but never the volcano.

I posted this. 2 x 8 through a palm tree at knee level.

Then, Bruce posted this. 2 x 4 through a palm tree at flight level.

This tops them both:

That's a concrete curb.

I can't even begin to understand how the wood is stronger than the concrete there. Unless there was a plastic drainage pipe in the curb right at that spot. Seems unlikely though.

The force is concentrated at the tip.
A joule is the energy required to accelerate a 1 kg mass at 1 m·s−2 through a 1 m distance in space. (It is equal to the energy transferred (or work done) to an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre)


Let's say that splinter weighs about 5kg.
Let's say the tip is about one square cm.
A hurricane's wind speed can be from about 120km/hr to 250km/hr depending on the category
And let's say the the splinter traveled 1000 meters before it made contact.

5kg*(1000*1000)/(69*69) distance squared by time traveled squared >250km/h=69km/s
5kg*1,000,000/4761 (4761 is also known as Gravdigr's constant i.e. 69 squared)
5kg*210=1050 joules

Compressive strength of fully cured concrete (>10years) is 489 kg/cm2 and about 300 kg/cm2 for fresh

1050 joules = 10707 kgf/cm2

BAM!

That's why an oxy acetylene potato gun can shoot a potato through a 3/4" sheet of CDX plywood.

And a little copper slug can penetrate tank armor.

If you hadn't fired bacefook recently, you'd know.

*as old as you, give or take a year-ish*

Sadly, I have never had success with tomato sauce from scratch. I use canned tomatoes and season the crap out of them :)

Thanks bruce :) New job - more restricted internet access - lol

Maybe bitter is the wrong word....

Nope - no wine. I don't actually like wine in cooking, but I may have just had bad dishes

Tomatoes can be acidic, maybe that's the word you're seeking.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I'm still on Terrence Howard.
But I'm happy with nuking it from orbit. Flip me, the man is a certified nutter. And I lived with a few of them last year, so I know.

At least J only threw a chair at someone she thought was laughing at her, she didn't invent her own brand of mathmatics.
Actually she did. It was called "Get Cherry to buy me cigarettes and don't worry about paying her back because she's terrified of me." Hey, Governments have been doing it for years. That's not nutty behaviour.

I wonder if this guy was going to the same place?

"...and not a single fuck was given."

Why? 43? Really?

http://cellar.org/2015/43pumps.jpg

But a station with 43 pumps is safer than taking a gas station on the road. Remember the overturned load of molten aluminum?:eek:

http://cellar.org/2015/sinclair gasocar.jpg

For the unfamiliar, White is not the color, it's the manufacture of the truck chassis.

I'm guessing the previous 'world's largest station' had 42 pumps.

Maybe, and it probably belonged to the same guy. He had several stations in Utah and Nevada. But I can't imagine enough traffic in those states, in the 1950s, to warrant that many pumps. :confused:

I know, I know, it's not polite, it's not fair, it's rude, and not PC.
But goddamn, woman. :shock:

My thanks go to Osceola County Sherriffs' Office for pointing out which one was which. ;)

When I saw that picture online it was flipped? :eyebrow:

The hill in the distance is bare ground. I wonder if there is a trickle or something in this area that continued to add ice buildup?

I saw the flipped one, too. I was trying to find out where the pic was taken.

Best I could do: Somewhere in Russia.

I wonder what it would go for if the Titanic was loaded with starving refugees instead of the rich & famous. :eyebrow:

$23,000? Chicken feed, good sir!

This photo of an iceberg which might have been that which the Titanic struck, was sold for £21,000 ($32,000)!

Pressure-cooker fail:

Attachment 53914

That's cool! The pot pushed in on the stove top so hard, it pushed the oven door open. And the lid!

Ah! The pressure cooker!

I remember dear old mum having trouble with one of those contraptions.

A jet of boiling gravy issued forth from the safety valve and painted the ceiling in the process.

I walked through the kitchen at the exact moment of the eruption, and being enthused by the latest Apollo launch, shouted 'lift off'!

I judged it prudent to make a tactical withdrawal. ;)

Third law of motion

Yeah, but the lid is so much lighter, you would think the heavy pot would barely move.

Same force pushing down as pushing up.
The stove top couldn't handle the force coming down on it, so it gave way.

What the hell is that, anyway?

Looks like a beluga whale to me, which would be odd since they are arctic creatures, but three were spotted off New Jersey this past summer, so one could have easily possibly made it down to the Mediterranean.

That thing sticking out of the water is its fin, and the head is down in the water and sideways to the camera, and it is bent so the body isn't seen as it tapers off behind it. And that black eyeball is the shadow of a bubble. The water also helps distort it like crazy.
