Did some pickled eggs out of boredom. Will write a recipe for curried-pickled eggs next go around, if I remember.
I did a heavy aromatic batch utilizing some old pickling spice I had so they're full flavored and somewhat pungent, plus the onions and garlic are a plus for grazing. 24 eggs done. One container with 3 tablespoons of chili flake for some spice, the other regular for the kiddo.
Pickling spice, some added mustard seeds, fresh garlic, onions, dill, kosher salt, sugar, and a blend of apple cider and unseasoned (dry) rice vinegar. Fresh Turkish bay leaves from my buddies tree.
I had to make a quick Covid run for the onion and some dill. Now I wait...

I think that's the secret; you don't have to make it "right" - just close enough.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 3:07 pm

Re: Lockdown Survival - what are you doing?
could be.
i know there were places in my house where the people who did the work had a different definition of "just close enough" than i do.

Like the molding corners that don’t quite fit and look like they would have fit great if someone had taken a couple minutes with a file or sandpaper? Lazy. Just lazy.

Re: Lockdown Survival - what are you doing?
yeah.
or like where they took out a wall, and instead of fixing the plaster between the two rooms, they put a drop ceiling in the kitchen that runs across where that wall used to be.
or where my electrical panel has circuits that when i cut them off, turn off outlets in 3 different rooms on two different floors. but not all of the outlets in any of those rooms.

Ha! Reminds me of my old house. There was such a rat's nest of wiring it is an absolute wonder the house never burned down.gwells wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 4:47 pmyeah.

When we renovated the house, we actually tore down the section that had the worst electrical offenses. I was glad to see it gone so I didn't have to get the "you are a shithead" glare from my electrician.

It's amazing to watch somebody who knows what they're doing with that stuff.

in the room I am extending now they ran plumbing thru the wall instead of next to the header 14 inches above it. wtf so i had to reroute the plumbing first. then I had to rerun 2 outlets that were daisychained.

An electrician declined to do work at one of my prior residences. Reason was “Mickey Mouse”.Ryeguy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 5:24 pmHa! Reminds me of my old house. There was such a rat's nest of wiring it is an absolute wonder the house never burned down.gwells wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 4:47 pmyeah.

*sigh*
there is a lot of "mickey mouse" here in the renovations they did before we bought. much of which you don't find out until you really start to pull things apart.

Re: Lockdown Survival - what are you doing?
The immense happiness I feel about the fact that I cut apart our very old playscape and had the pieces hauled away is incredibly disproportionate to how hard the job actually was. But I'm happy, so I guess it's the little things.
Now I need to get grass to grow in the giant patch of dirt that was left behind.
