You need the tartness of the Granny Smiths to cut the sweetness of the rest of the "salad". Also adds crunch.

It's all about balance.

The higher the hair the closer to god!

There was a way too long YouTube video of her engagement party (some D-list former actor) that was just ridiculous. Someone sent it too me before I heard about her killing people.

ETA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7SVKHZMXlg

It says only 5+ minutes, but it seemed like it went on forever when I originally watched.

Thanks for the welcome, but I've been around for a while. Lurking about, commenting on cooking and soccer posts, mostly. =)

Not a cake, but I do love these blueberry muffins from America's Test Kitchen.

After I had the second one I did question the accuracy of the first. Not sure that it matter, tho.

Yeah, and I think the tests vary. I had two tests recently in two different hospitals (there for other reasons) The first time it was with a long cotton swab and I barely felt anything. The next time it was with something that almost felt like a pipe cleaner/scrub brush with the nurse counting to 10 with "One Mississippi. Two Mississippi..." The second one was almost unbearable.

Maybe the salt also does something to counteract this, but I would be worried soaking in the buttermilk so long would make the meat spongy, or mushy. I've only ever soaked chicken in buttermilk (or yogurt) and even bone-in you can't leave it too long, otherwise the texture of the cooked meat is weird, IMO. But I've never added enough salt to the buttermilk like a brine, and turkey is a little tougher than chicken. Buttermilk soaked chicken is tasty.

I'm not a huge fan of many IP recipes, so I may not be the best recommender, but I make these two recipes all the time.

Black Eyed Peas and Greens (vegan)
IP Carnitas

I use chipotle in adobe for the jalapenos in both recipes, because that's what tend to have around (and their heat levels are more consistent).

ETA: I don't pre-soak the peas overnight. I either add a few minutes to the cooking time, or do a quick soak with hot/boiling water while I get the ingredients prepped.

We also make a lot of steel cut oats. The timer option overnight FTW!!

I think the oats and carnitas recipes are technically against manufacturer's guidelines, but I've never had problems.
