Chef John’s Creamy Cashew Chicken

ZOMG fluffy, that pasta looks fantastic! I was pretty excited initially about Cosmic Crisps, but sadly they're a bit too tart for my taste.

Oh yeah I did a Chef John recipe recently, his sausage and bean stew. The recipe so nice I've made it twice! After I saw this, I went and looked at the recipe, and thought "omg, that looks good, and I think I've got all the ingredients." I had navy beans instead of cannellini beans, but it still wo...

UA Arrow - is it time to get back into the UA ecosystem? This would be the least expensive way back in. Thunderbolt 3 - Two in, two out, plus processing power to use awesome plug ins. Also, I hear their new DAW LUNA is cool. UA Twin - spend a bit more for more features? I wrote a bunch of stuff rec...

Initially, I was not sold on Universal Audio interfaces. I was angry about being potentially locked into their plugin ecosystem, and was highly dubious that their custom silicon DSP had any advantages over cheap general purpose commodity CPUs. I still feel this way, but UAD interfaces do have some s...

The algorithm handed me this excellent video on creativity from Adam Neely (who is a jazz bassist and has an excellent channel in general) this morning.

Thanks for posting Crumpart, I really enjoyed that. "The absence of limitations is the enemy of art." is a great quote.

We were ordering a pizza cutter recently and because of you and the Surrealists song, Chumpy, I put my foot down and insisted on buying the one shaped like a Motor Scooter. Toshiro was not convinced it would work well and, much to his delight, has been proven very, very wrong! Nice! Cute pizza cutt...

Yum! What makes it "prison-style," is it fermented in a sock? It uses quite a bit of filler in order to stretch the meat, like the did during the Great Depression, and also in institutions where you may want to cut costs. There are breadcrumbs soaked in milk (so they don't dry out the meatloaf) as ...

I've been on a Chef John kick recently. Here is his Prison-Style Meatloaf. Here is his Hungarian style Beef Goulash.

Re: lyrics, my only thought is, having to do data entry for those in two places sucks and folks won't do it. Who's going to manage that? Right, anything like that requires better data entry. I was thinking contestants could get a secret individualized link to edit their entry. Having people embed t...

In case this wasn't clear to anyone else, the Songfighter in question is Ryan Rickenbach, was was active from '04-06.

Thank you Jerkatoria! I am so flattered and delighted that you chose to do two songs and I LOVE your versions. Thanks Vom, I'm stoked you enjoyed our covers! I absolutely love "Your Discarded Cigarette" and have been listening to it a lot since finishing it. When I saw that we had drawn you, I imme...

Omg Third Cat, I really loved your version of Ocean of Blood! You turned it from this sorta twisted dark-folk tune into a lovely atmospheric and slightly trippy Third Cat song. I especially love the end of the bridge (my favorite part of the original too) which gives me chills, it's so good! Heh, ho...

The Jerks are in!

Both Ryan and I pitched different songs from our SECRET PARTNER's catalog, and we couldn't decide which one to do, and since they're both sorta short, so we did both of them. Congrats, it's a Jerkatorium twofer! I had so much fun, and I love both of these songs.

Here's something I posted from the judging forum that folks may find interesting. Coming up with good challenges that haven't been done before can be hard. Last time around I went through all the previous Nur Ein challenges and compiled a categorized list of them, here they are: Required Sounds : ha...

Ye olde American Goulash! This is not the healthiest food ever, but it definitely is comforting. I used Chef John's recipe, which is a lot fancier than what I grew up with, but still very good.

Is this different from the Zip mirror ? Yeah. That's a handy zip file that has all the files in it, but the id3 tags have whatever random junk in them as set by the submitter. So, for example, if you drop this into any of the Apple music players it's going to make a mess. It will treat them as indi...

If you're like me, and the "stream all" option on the website has never reliably worked for you, you may be interested in downloading this zip file that has all the mp3s for this fight. I've painstakingly edited all the id3 information in these files so if you just drop all these files into your mp3...

With the upcoming NUR EIN - I just listened to my last years entries which I had forgotten and I found this post!! Where some whiney little cunt seemed to imply that I was misoginyst for calling Fraser Anning and Pauline Hanson racsict cunts?!?! WTF?!?!? I know right!? What a bunch of virtue signal...

I've been working on my mise en place game. This was from an old Blue Apron recipe for "Creamy Harissa Chicken" I had kicking around. We've experimented with Blue Apron, Hello Fresh, and Plated in the past just to see what we liked. Overall Plated is my favorite I think, but we kept all our favorite...

Reviewing is easy*. If you like a song - say so. If the song is shit - say so. OK Ill have a crack at reviews: Jocko Homomorphism The Quantifiers Jesus fucking christ - these two are both fucking awful.. Just stop it Ominous Ride - OK this is OK. I think I need to re-address this reviewing thing an...
