What can you expect in the Food Thread on PF?
I've done this with both stuffed pepper and stuffed grape leaves which are really time intensive and both turned out great. You can microwave the peppers first so they are nearly well done, fix the rice and sauce separately, layer the peppers or grape leaves and rice and sauce or mix the rice...- netgypsy

BBT's Portrayal of Nerds: Offensive or Accurate?
Thoroughly enjoy this show but it is pretty much the opposite of my long ago fellow physics majors, professors and researchers. For one thing every one of my fellow physics majors, all but one, male, was super smart but very very popular with the ladies (and the single female had an attractive...- netgypsy

Did the Trayvon Martin Case Expose Flaws in Stand Your Ground Laws?
Yes this is a terrible tragedy and one that could have been avoided if the man had been carrying a stun gun instead of a hand gun. As a parent I feel the pain of this young man's family. And looting and destroying a store as the mob did helps in what way? Florida is home for many many very...- netgypsy

Corned beef and cabbage need to be cooked until the beef can be pulled apart like barbequed pork. The leftovers are great for sandwiches, seasoning collard greens and making corned beef hash. Cook the cabbage until you like the texture. I also like it quite soft. You can also devil corned...- netgypsy

Interesting. One article said to add beef fat which grocery stores will give away, to your home ground beef so that you have a 50% mixture. Wonder if your meat market uses higher fat content? Cause fat is sticky?- netgypsy

Pete54 - no we don't always fail and we don't always succeed. Environment is a factor because certain environments can trigger certain types of behavior but remember we are hardwired as a normal human to care for our "extended family" and to find those who are not part of our extended family, a...- netgypsy

Last question first - transferring memory from one individual to another - first of all it would be a higher order species with a real brain. Second - the transfer of memory does not have to be done by removing it from one and moving it to another. It can be done by recreating what the memory...- netgypsy

Here's another one that probably has been answered but I haven't come across it. If a bird is raised from egg by a different species with no contact with any of its own species, will it produce sound like the adopted species, like it's native species, or somewhere between? Additional relevant...- netgypsy

Nope this is beef you grind yourself. I never buy supermarket ground beef. Can't remember where I read it but I have noticed it's true that it doesn't stick together well after it's frozen.- netgypsy

Still haven't found out why freezing beef before grinding or after for that matter keeps it from sticking together. Freezing does rupture cell membranes but why would that cause the ground beef to be less sticky??- netgypsy

And I never indicated that feeding the brains of humans to other humans would impart knowledge from the source brain to the receptor brain. I brought up the study because it was interesting. You drew the conclusion, not I. But as we study memory is there any law of physics violated by the...- netgypsy

On the chew a few weeks ago they made a burger and topped it with barbecued pulled pork and I think slaw and who knows what else. Hard to find a good burger today. The steak houses have pretty good ones and steak and shake isn't bad. They have one with guacamole that was interesting. I never...- netgypsy

With regard to the pain medication this is a question that has been asked many doctors and researchers and they have some very interesting answers. First of all the more anxious and stimulated the individual is, the more difficult it is to both sedate and relieve pain in that individual. When...- netgypsy
