sleek [webcomic name]

I feel like I'm lucky now if they're even willing to SELL me the utility that used to come standard.

More than half the time, when the new, sleek product gets rid of functionality, the response to, "How do I do all the things I need to do?" is essentially, "You don't!"

And if you ask to keep using the previous product, the response is, "No."

Do You Need To Wash Rice Before Cooking? Here’s The Science

Reply in thread

Yeah, the study said it has no effect on the stickiness of the rice.

Which is bizarre, because I've...seen it. Like repeatedly. And it's not a subtle difference. When I am lazy and don't wash my rice, it comes out MUCH gooier. It's not terrible but it's significantly different than when I wash it well.

Is this going to make me buy a second rice cooker to compare side by side? Ugh.

Tomahawk ribeye

It's a 36 oz tomahawk ribeye. Salt, pepper, and herbs de provence. Let it sit for a few hours, then put it on a grill at around 225 F for just under an hour, until the steak got to 125. Took it off and got the grill up to 650, then grilled for about two minutes on each side. Rested and sliced.
