It’s just regular (unseasoned) rice, not sushi rice. You do want to use medium-grain or short-grain rice, because it needs to be sticky—so if that’s what you mean by sushi rice, it’s more about getting the right kind than any special technique.

Egg is not typical, but it’s sometimes done like this. I’m a fan.

I’m very skeptical of this claim. I think she looks like Jane Fonda instead.

They said a Fench mob. That’s not happening.

The killings significantly predate the fights over gold mines.

r/woooosh

But also, the fights over gold mines started well after the killings.

The problem is obviously with the poster. Poor soul must have a stomach bug or something.

Get well soon, u/outcast96_ ! A nice bowl of pho is good for what ails you!

Compared to a gorilla? No doubt about it. They are neither growers nor showers.

Nah, you sprinkle it in the bottom of the boat, and the fish just jump right in to roll around in it.

It’s true. I was the undertow.

But did you ever hear the name of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

Depends on the ice wine, but you’re right as to the German/Austrian-style eisweins.

I had the same thought. It depends on what you’re trying to capture/exclude.

The product of distilling is a distillate, so maybe crystallate? We need an etymologist here, stat!

I don’t think the methanol is the primary concern; it’s just one of them. It won’t make you go blind, because of the ethanol consumption, but it won’t leave you feeling good either.

The net result of 40% abv applejack is something like the worst rotgut whiskey. It won’t make you go blind, and it probably won’t kill you—but it might well make you wish you were dead.

Drinking a glass of water with each shot would certainly help, just as it does when drinking large amounts of any spirit.

Why not just “crystallized?”

It does. See https://serc.carleton.edu/teachearth/activities/180245.html

(The reference to methanol concentration is at the very end, right before the listing of references and resources.)

Depends how much you drink. The methanol is already in your cider or wine; applejack or ice wine just concentrates it, along with everything else that’s not water. That makes it easier to take in too much, whereas the sheer volume will slow you down from doing it with non-distilled alcoholic liquids.

Also, as to methanol specifically, the ethanol will help to inhibit the breakdown of methanol in the body into formate, which (I understand) is what’s actually toxic. That’s the reason that a bottle of scotch can actually be used to treat methanol poisoning.

The other stuff, though, isn’t neutralized in the same way.

I think, anyway. It’s been decades since I took a chemistry class, so I might be misstating some of the finer points.

They’d sometimes get applejack up to 40% ABV, not just 44 proof.

The problem, which comes up with ice wine as well, is that you’re not just concentrating ethanol, which is a desirable toxin. You’re also concentrating undesirable toxins like methanol and aldehydes.

The same thing happens with stills that use evaporative distillation, but there they distiller can divert the head and tail (ie, the stuff that boils off first and the stuff that boils off last) and keep it away from final product. You can’t do that with applejack, which means it’s likely to be a wicked buzz if you choose to drink something at 40 abv

They’re paying him as a top-10 WR; he was barely in the top 30 last year. Yeah, his QB situation sucked, but that’s part of the reason you don’t pay a guy top-10 money when you have bigger holes on your roster.

If there was a surefire-elite QB in this draft, I’d say it was reasonable. But for this class? It’s too much. And that’s after taking into account that the Panthers overpaid Moore, so dumping him helps to bring the deal back closer to par.

Which is true, but doesn’t affect the fact that the joke is funnier with silver.

“Why should I have to change my name??? She’s the one that sucks!”

Thanks!

Alas, still under copyright in the US until 2035, since she died in 1985.

There are a couple of copies in the area, but they’re in places like the Library of Congress or university libraries an hour away, so they’re not very accessible.

That’s an amazing story. I’d like to read her autobiography, but it seems to be out of print, and copies are expensive.
