I've started with a frozen bird in the morning, and had a nicely baked turkey at a reasonable time this way. Put it in a bath until it's not entirely a brick, replacing some of the water frequently. Balance it in the sink so you can run the faucet down the neck. Run water until spine is thawed enough to spatchcock. Doesn't matter if most the meat is still frozen, it'll cook fine.

*Went to brine my turkey the day before and found a weird "growth". It was really unappetizing and concerning, so I overreacted and threw out the bird. Could only find frozens, so the new bird only had overnight in the fridge. After buying a new turkey I thought to get on the Butterball turkey help line. They were fantastic and assured me the growth was actually a processing burn and totally safe.

Why is it when talking about Israeli military or political action it's necessary to add the word government? With any other country you can say, as an example, "Russia shouldn't be invading Ukraine", but with Israel it seems necessary to add something like "I'm talking about the government, not the people."

On the other side of things, it seems Hamas is interchangable with Palestine, which is interchangable with the Palestinian people, and none of these get folks pointing out the distinction.

The adjustable base is a game changer! Helps with my heart burn and my husband's snoring. Also, I'm sick rn, so have been watching a lot of tv in bed. Being able to adjust to more of a sitting position is awesome.

I wonder how much money the 4 agencies involved in the raid spent. Like how many months of rent would that equal? At what point would it just be better to send a single officer with a voucher for a months rent? Would cost the public far less and give the family a months relief, allowing them time to save money and get back on their feet.

Did he suggest an alternate term, or just say 'stop calling it that'?

I think pouring the dip over would make it a salad.

I don't know about cheese fries being a salad. I think a salad needs at least 2 ingredients not including dressing/garnish. So you'd need to do cheese fries with like fried peppers too make it a warm potato salad.

I would say the important distinction is in presentation. Was it a bowl of onion and cucumber mixed together with ranch? If so salad. Was it a plate with a pile of cucumber and a pile of onion, with ranch for dipping? If so crudites.

I'm on kbin exclusively now, with the exception of a couple weeks ago. I was looking for exceptional rock shops near where I was visiting. Wanted suggestions/reviews from the more geological geared, and specifically not metaphysical/crystal shops. Reddit was the best resource for my purpose.

That said, I believe the fediverse can become a similar resource. For the time being, there just isn't a large enough, or old enough library of information to draw from. Given time this should change, but for now Reddit still fills certain types of needs that other areas of the internet cannot.

I've never played Cyberpunk, but watched my husband play for a lot of hours. I played Xdefiant's beta for a day in June. I'm puzzled by why it didn't pass. Beta was not buggy, had maybe one minor issue with it. My guess is security violation.
