Organizized - man that was tougher than I thought
Not really 100% happy with my list (certainly not the order - and there are a few films which I could have added instead of others...)

On a different note [eh?, eh?], have you seen this?


That organist must have had hella painful fingers/wrists/arms at the end of that hour and a quarter

Oooh... just found a different version, with more pleasing music

@Ustegius once you asked me about image compression, found this site: https://tinypng.com/
Preserves transparency and enough quality, imo.

Ooh so fucking love Caligari and 20's German expressionism.

That's pretty good - can only see a little [very much acceptable] loss in the shadows and colours

 

[Farfalla]

Yeah, like, in my avy, the darker parts became a bit grainy.
But it wen't from 115kb to 35 so I take it xD
(shame it won't allow me to pick the size I want, tho)

Yeah, I tried that site years ago, but for me it destroyed the image quality. Maybe the compression has gotten better over time.

As in this?

Really not sure how good that sounds...

How about you give it a go, then get back to me?


Talking of beef - my next batch of biltong was finished recently
This one worked pretty damn well - and I've got half a kilo of the stuff to get through now (gimme like 2-3 days)

 

[Farfalla]

Isnt a marinate in acid and oily base to add flavor to the meat? I can't see the corn cream along achieving that xD

No, I haven't. But there is supposed to be something to marinating meat in milk/dairy to tenderize it. Doubt there's going to be a flavor benefit to it though.

You'd be better off using yogurt or milk though. Don't think corn is going to do anything.

She never said it changes the taste....only how tender it makes it.
I've used milk/buttermilk before to marinade steaks...it does work.

My thing i like the best is putting my beef in Worcestershire,soy sauce and montreal steak seasoning in a ziplock.
Do this with steaks for a couple hours....they are so juicy.

God.... that Montreal shit is a bit too much. I guess the flavor is good, but the stench is just insane. Idk, I prefer concocting my own mix to using stuff like that usually.

Got traumatized by my brother bathing his meat in that and then basically boiling it in worcestershire sauce/hot sauce. It's like, yeah I guess you like a bit of steak with your devil's semen...

Is that jerky?

Pretty much.

Cut the beef into thick strips, then gave it a simple salt for around 6 hours.
Wiped off the excess salt, then put in a box and marinade with a little cider vinegar, smoked salt, smoked pepper, a couple of different dried ground chili peppers, brown sugar, tiny bit of mustard powder, and a load of ground corriander seeds.
Left it overnight in the fridge, then towel dried it and hung it for 3 days...

Would love to cold smoke it, but, without a garden, beggars can't be choosers.

Now we're talking - that sounds much more to my tastes

You talking about steaks on the grill or in the pan?

If in a wet marinade, I guess he's talking about the barbecue

Grilled
In a pan a lil olive oil and butter...season the steaks before hand

 

[xi0]

If you're going pan, I usually salt the meat and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. Then get the pan as hot as possible, no oil, no butter, no nothing. That way the sear is really quick and clean. After you've seared it and turned it a couple times, add some butter to finish. This way the outside is super crisp and the inside is juicy/bloody as hell.

Nice

I've taken to using a coal starter to cook my steaks - I don't really barbecue steaks at all now.
Coal starters can get some serious heat on one side, so make a serious sear.

Center doesn't cook that much, so if you like more well done steaks it's probably best to oven cook/barbecue them a little beforehand - but I like my steaks saignant

 

[xi0]

Anyone who only eats beef well-done shouldn't be allowed to eat it tbh

 

[Farfalla]

That's common here, specially in churrasco places. I honestly don't get what's wrong with them...
(altho I have my share of sins as well, cutting off the grease of those: )
