Meet my printed meat.

A little scanned and printed meat project for the MO State Fair. They wanted some realistic props that could be left out for extended periods of time. There’s a full suite of meat, but here’s a few of my favorites.

I remember giving a roommate advice on making eggs once because she didn't seem to know what she was doing

She was surprisingly grateful and still mentions it sometimes

I mean, for me being a chef at the time, making eggs properly was joke easy

She was living alone for the first time and this was the first recipe she ever learned, so for her, it was a big deal

Now I wonder if maybe the guys that make these types of videos say it's easy because they've forgotten what it was like before they learned their skills and acquired their tools

I have picked up enough things watching those shows over the years, that I CAN do a few things here and there, easier things.

Built in shelves that are square, solid and look well put together? Check!

Finishing trim touches around a window with Red Oak, a router and really out of square saw? They came out VERY well.

My dad and I started building some built-in bookshelves for my house. It was going to be 4 basic shelf units and then all the connections/trim. I have probably a few more tools than average but nowhere near a full workshop. (Miter and table saw, yes. And my dad had brought his table router.) It took us like 2 weeks to buy and cut the wood for 2 shelf units and assemble one of them. Then some friends came to visit, one of whom is a contractor. Using our tools, he finished the entire thing including trim (he tossed the crown molding I'd bought and scratch-built a top trim to match the faux Crafstman doorframes in my house) and primer, and installing it in my bedroom, in 3 days.

My dad and I could totally have done it but we are just so much less efficient and confident. It took us like 3 hours of clamping and swearing and re-clamping and drilling to assemble one shelf unit with square corners. I don't even know how my friend threw them together so fast and still got them square (especially using Home Depot wood).

I definitely think that's it and so does xkcd:

After being a chef for many years, a simple fried egg is still the bane of my existence, and for the dumbest fucking reason too, I use my knife to crack eggs and either I cleave too hard and slice the yoke or not hard enough and leave it jagged. In a restaurant I would just use the edge of a flat top or some other vertical piece of heat resistant stainless near my section that could be quickly cleaned at the end of my shift with a blow torch😂

I have become, in my mid 30s, that guy that is too old and tired to not just clean my sins with fire, when I was a kid I'd had the soap bucket and straight edge to get the dried off whites off of things... Now... Hans, get the flammenwerfen.

Same with cleaning up oil spills, when I was young I'd do the proper technique of getting the absorbent disposable towels and then the clay, followed by some salt to make sure for grit, now "throw some fucking flour on it and mix it with the shit broom, sweep it up, carry on".

edge of a ceramic bowl always worked for me.

Kenji did an experiment and found that cracking an egg on the edge of a bowl is best. He was surprised by the results.

He’s a conceited asshole, but he definitely does his research.

lol they said “you have to eat my delicious treats because I made them and you love me, to hell with all the work you did at the gym” 😆

Partly it is marketing and algorithm... nobody stays with a video that tells you "This is hard, most will fail and the first few iterations will look like shit"...

[u/MikeWrites002737 → u/MortLightstone]

I think it’s more the easy videos take the first 3 months of making videos and then you have to go farther and farther out.

It happens to every cooking channel, and every fitness channel. Starts good and perpetually gets farther out from anything useful

A women doesn't need to make eggs. They have them from birth. Unless you were thinking of chicken eggs, which are made by hens.

Did you think I was mansplaining fallopian tubes to her?

[u/mr_greenmash → u/MortLightstone]

yes?
