  • I just did some drumsticks last night.

    before you start, make sure you have a tin can or glass jar for oil disposal.

    soak your meat in buttermilk for several hours. shake with heavily seasoned flour. <- this is where your “recipe” will come in. Salt, pepper, whatever kind of herb mix you like. allow to rest for a while so the flour sticks. preheat oven to 350°F in a large frypan put in enough oil for about an inch of depth. don’t use olive oil. vegetable oil is fine, others will give a different taste. other common ones are peanut oil and crisco shortening. heat the oil over medium-high until it is around 375°F fry chicken in batches until brown. turning pieces after 3 or 4 minutes when the pieces are brown all over, put each on a rack over a sheet pan (or just a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper) bake chicken until done to 165°F, maybe 20 minutes

    you can also do “oven-fried” which isn’t quite the same, but gives good results without the mess of the oil.

    Yeah I had my yard full of destroying angels last summer, when they first showed up I was all “sweet! Mushrooms!” Because they look real similar to agaricus. But then I saw the white gills, and was all :(.

    And I made sure to tell my kids not to mess with them and why.









  • lol

    1000% yes.

    had one go through my town about 2 blocks from work.

    They thought it was over and gave the “all clear” so I was going between buildings starting equipment back up and I looked at the sky and the clouds were going 2 different directions at about 100 mph. went inside and saw the debris cloud out the window and thought: “yeah it’s time to get in the shelter now”

    the track was also about 1 1/2 blocks from my house. I lost about 10 shingles off my roof. down the street, the neighbor had the whole roof peeled off his house like the lid of a tin can.

    they really do sound like a freight train rumbling down the track.

    also it sucked a bunch of air out of the building so that all the closed doors made a howling noise.
