  • i'm not even sure there is garlic in this pepperoni. the ingredients list "spices" and "vegetable powders" but nothing clearly listed as an allium.

    at any rate, i am aware of the issue with cats/dogs and alliums.

  • i got a deal here for $440 delivered.

    the amount of alliums i give to the cats and dogs (who are sensitive to it too) is negligible and always cooked well which breaks down quite a lot of the thiosulfate within, but i do appreciate the warning, some pet owners might not know.

  • my spicy puppies love to growl at me in the morning, and leap about on the bed like lunatics while play wrestling. one is about 30kg, the other about 40kg. sometimes it hurts, but generally i love it.

  • bought a little 12" ooni fyra the other day and gave it a kick in the guts last night. pumped out a margherita and a pepperoni pie. each pie took a little over a minute to cook.

    i think i focused a little too much on getting a high temp, something difficult to do with my other pizza cooking options. first one came out with a bottom that was burnt evenly across the whole bottom (though the carbon layer was very thin), the second one i dropped the temp of the stone about 50c and it came out much better, but i probably need to drop it a little more, and let the pies cook for a little longer. the dough was fully cooked, but some of the toppings (like buffalo mozzarella chunks) didn't have time to melt fully. the pepperoni did cup though.

    i think i also need to blend my pizza sauce (usually i like it chunky) but on a small 12" pie cooked super fast it can lead to a bit of unevenness, and makes it harder to get the sauce much closer to the edges which i also need to do (with the cheese too), as large rising edge crust caused the ingredients to shift towards the middle.

    after 2 pies we were full (puppers also got a slice each, and the cats got some pepperoni), but i reckon next weekend i will do much better. still, they were fucking delicious and pretty damned good for a first poke. apologies for unappealing torch-lit pizza pic, gets dark early these atm.

    the machine itself is pretty easy to operate, just runs on hardwood pellets, though it can only store about 15 mins of pellets at a time, so you need to keep topping it up. getting pizzas into and out of the small aperture is pretty easy too. seems like a pretty good contraption, and i reckon it wont be long before i have a technique down to pump out ripper pizzas.

  • Jury awards $800K to Florida family who claimed daughter was 'disfigured' by hot McDonald's nugget
  • ive never even had hot nuggets from maccas. they are always only warm at best. this is in .au

    according to the first thing that popped up from google, 52c (125f) for 2 mins can cause a burn. was the kid not in distress while being burned? i guess a parent might ignore a crying, screaming kid though?

    this article has more details: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/florida-girl-burned-mcdonalds-chicken-mcnugget-awarded-800000-damages-olivia-caraballo/

    the child screamed, and the nugget was between 71-93c (160-200f) which seems fucking crazy to me
