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.;)

that led to this:


I had seen whirlpools before, but never the volcano.

So...

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.

Mass with send you to heaven and speed will kill you. :lol:

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

hmph.



*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.
