Many years ago I was with a large party at a Chinese restaurant. My wife ordered crispy duck but my order never arrived. By the time they realised I was no longer hungry but I asked them instead to teach me how to make the crispy duck (it was incredible). Thread.
They took me out the back to meet the chef and he took me through it. To this day I have still never made it.

Crappy weather on Wgtn anniversary day so I figure, today is the day. I’ll take you guys through it. Started off last night by putting the fuck in a marinade.
Has autocorrect ever changed duck to fuck? I must swear too much.
Anyway, the marinade has Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, plum sauce, sugar and five spice. Should be marinaded for 24hrs. Will keep you updated during the day.
Duck going on @ 150°. As I recall, the key was to constantly baste the duck during cooking with honey and soy.
Basting every 1/2 hr ish.
Oh my...the smell.
Some potato croquettes to go with the meal. Mashed potato, fried onion and butter rolled in egg and Panko breadcrumbs. I added another ingredient to the mix that may horrify you but I reckon works. Maggie onion soup mix. There, I said it.
The finale. Duck not as crispy as I wanted but very tasty. Flesh is incredible. Will try again.

Many years ago in a small town, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large amount of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain.
He said he would waive the farmer's debt if he could marry the farmer’s daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal.
The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender's wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.

Many years ago (before I was saved), I was given (two different times) a diagnosis that led to death eventually. Until then, I hadn't really thought about death, and like many, I had never acknowledged that death could come at any time.
Though life is hard, challenging, and often
unfun, I am much more in tune with my own mortality, and it doesn't scare me at all. I had the chance to revisit the feeling recently (when I was threatened online), and although kind of crazy, I still agree with my reply to the threat. I basically told them to 'Bring it'.
We
need to not fear our own mortality, as we truly are a finite being. Death could come at any moment, and in a million different ways. But...
How prepared are you for what happens after death? This body has a limitation, but the soul, the spirit, does NOT have the same limitation.

1. Many years ago I was at a dinner party at the home of a friend. Her mother was visiting from Germany. She would’ve been in her late teens/early 20’s in the WWII era. Perhaps emboldened by the potent German schnapps she brought with her, I pressed her for her point of view.
2. I quite bluntly asked how the German people could’ve allowed such atrocities to occur. She said many people (most, even) were not aware of what was happening. I pointed out that anti-Jew propaganda was prevalent - people were being rounded up, put on trains.
3. She said that at first, people thought much of that to be exaggerated. And then, they believed they were simply being detained. I argued that people living near concentration camps could see the ash in the air and certainly smell burning bodies.

time to distract ourselves with long-ago forums drama screemshots, lads. a few days ago i started reading one of the infamous phenazepam threads on TCC (The Crackhead Clubhouse), a subforum of Something Awful dedicated to drugs. this is a very weird thread but i'll do my best
in 2009, phenazepam was a legal benzodiazepine. you could buy it on ebay or from various research chemical sites with little fear of scams or legal trouble. phenazepam was a soviet drug developed in 1975. i think its still legal in some states but check this out lol:
alright enough preamble. the TCC thread starts out relatively slowly as various posters order phenazepam, which forums user dethkon (aka SOME PIG) nicknamed Da Joose, a name which stuck instantly because every TCC poster long ago smoked themselves dumbshit

'The mother awoke with a start. She sharpened her ears and tried to listen to the sounds outside the cave. No sounds, it was all silent. It meant there were no predators outside. A small beam of sunlight entered the cave through the entrance which was blocked with a boulder.
The mother gave a wry smile. She had lived another day with her children after all, what was there to be scared about now? She couldn't tell what time it was but it must have been around noon time. The cramped space in the cave was heating up incredibly. She thought about her
husband. He had gone out on that fateful day. She begged and pleaded with him not to leave but he wouldn't listen. He said he needed to feed them all so he had to take that risk. He had taken the risk and paid the price for it. He never came back. She knew by instinct what

Many MANY years ago I had a student who was ALWAYS falling asleep in my class. I finally asked her to stay behind one day and said, "If this class is so boring for you, maybe you should just stay home."
I recognize how horrible it was for me to say that. I was young and inexperienced. And her response--TO THIS DAY--still slays me.
She said, "I work nights. This class doesn't really work for me time-wise, but you came so highly recommended by my friends that I didn't want to miss out on being in your class."
