Yeah, a friend does car work but is an air gun and impact driver type. He broke about a 1 inch bolt that was holding some torsion suspension to the frame.

Maybe a guy with an air tool or battery impact driver that has no torque settings.

Some are under the impression that saving 10 seconds on tightening a bolt is great, but they spend 10 minutes looking for the air hose.

I always do small stuff, and even lugnut tightening with a torque wrench. Because damaging a fastener sucks, but ruining the thread in a mating part is diasterous.

On a good note: as that orbiting junk increases and collides, making a bigger field of smaller debris, we've built a deterrent from aliens wanting to land.

Ooo, I never tried that.

If any one wants one I have 3. I figured backing up to DVD for FSM photos probably means I should have a working DVD drive later on

That's the nice part about Linux, you rip the CD to an Iso file, and can directly Mount the ISO file as a drive.

Add some Hummel figurines to it, for extra dust.

Sugar also helps it turn crispy.

I had hoped they'd make a gorgeous wall piece, but this looks terrible.

Sushi Time (lemmy.ca)

We had some random items in the fridge, basically a block of tofu and a cucumber, so I figure let's make sushi.

Rice and Seaweed as per usual. For the Tofu I had some leftover juices from roasting some mushrooms and tomatoes in the oven (wirh some Cajun spices) earlier in the day, so I marinafded sliced tofu in that. Then I fried the tofu in a skillet. Roll it all up and enjoy.

 

Some Lemongrass Chickenless Thai and Chowmein noodles. Chicken chunks came with a Thai lemongrass flavour, but I added a premix Bulgarian sauce (roasted peppers,tomatoes, eggplant, onions, etc) along with chiillies and various curry spices. And added water and coconut cream.

 

My wife was sick today and she finds that spicy food seem to help her feel better.

So South Asian lentil base Sambar soup for dinner, but I added some leaks, ginger, peas and orzo to give it some heartiness.

Very hot, since a big part of the base is ground chilly powders.

 

Spicy corn dish as a snack. Normally you garnish with some coconut and eat with Roti, but corn tacos work too.

 

Tonight is a Spicy Thai Eggplant-Tofu Stirfry.

 

My wife ate too much risotto yesterday, and some for breakfast, so its a quick stir fry just for me tonight.

 

Tonight's dinner for two is Mushroom Risotto. Normally risotto asks for white wine and chicken broth. For the base I sauteed onions and carrots in some juice from Majlis green olives (it has like a vermouth flavour to it) with a few fennel seeds and some sage and rosemary, mushroom salt, pepper and some lemon.

Tonight we were running out of veg, so a simple Broccoli and "Beef" teriyaki.

Beef was from dried Soya Wadi from an Indian grocer. They are a dried and defatted soya product. Simmered those in a combo of spices and soy sauce and Marmite mixture.

Teriyaki sauce was: 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 table spoons of brown sugar, some ginger and garlic. Warm it up then add a 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to a 1/4 cup of cold water and once mixed, dump into pot and simmer about 5-8 minutes till it thickens.

 

Crispy Tofu tonight with some stirfried veg in a sweet chilli sauce, and some flat rice noodles.

Today, as an old guy, I was cleaning our glass top stove. The Weiman cleaner is in the cupboard above the stove. I squirted a bunch on the dirty rings and then realized its normally white not blue paste.

Turns out I grabbed the Cascade Complete dishwasher liquid. Duh.

I started to wipe it and realized it was pulling off the baked on food better than the stove cleaning product.

Best it has looked in 5 years.

P.s. made sure to fully rinse all of it off so no residue remained.
