    Tasted incredible, I love how guanciale's fat gives you the most pleasant smokey aftertaste of almost any food. This shit is pretty legit and totally a steal for 3$ a pound if you got a WinCo nearby. I found it next to the bag of bacon scraps.

    Guanciale skin side down, then a cross section. Very nice smokey smell to it. Just gotta cut the skin off and then dice it small. The look is definitely spot on for guanciale. Was able to pull the skin off with my fingers. This is how I dice it for carbonara, basically matchsticks top down so...

    Godzilla Minus One (2023)

    This was a fun movie. Sure it wasn't perfect, but I'm 100% gonna see this at theaters to satisfy my 1 movie every 5-10 years. I loved how stupid and convoluted their plan to fight godzilla was.

    Guanciale I’ve had has all been smoked. This stuff I got looks pretty heavily smoked. Since people keep talking about it I’ll cook it tomorrow morning if I got time and take some pictures.

    Tokyo, Japan

    It’s 546$ atm for two weeks, and most bullet trains start at 100$ a ticket. 3 day trips and it pays for itself. I can see situations where it doesn’t make sense, but the cities in Japan can be so incredibly different and cool in their own ways, and Shinkansen is awesome, so I can’t see going...

    Pancetta is nothing like guanciale. It’s pretty easy to find in like Italian specialty stores, though it’s usually stupid expensive.

    I make carbonara with it usually. It’s basically extra fatty bacon, and then you incorporate that fat into a bacon fat egg and cheese sauce. Incredibly delicious and you are missing out on the good things in life if you like bacon and have never had carbonara guanciale. It’s super simple and...

    The Astronomy Thread

    That’s true for most objects in the sky, but for the really bright ones like the closer planets not so much. It comes down to precise focus being more important. I’ve never messed with his type of telescope, but it’s design being targeted to cleaning up fainter images might be less than ideal...

    Tokyo, Japan

    I can’t disagree more. If you are going to do bullet trains at all it’s a huge steal, and it works for like 97% of the country. Only reason not to is if you plan to stay in one city your whole trip. I’m an early riser, so I’d do things like wake up at five, bullet train to a city and spend my...

    WinCo had skin on smoked guanciale made in Oregon next to the bacon for like 2.98$ a pound. That's the cheapest fucking guanciale I've ever seen. I'm expecting some sort of evil trap, but I was too curious to resist buying. Edit: Hill Meat Company: Bacon, Fresh Sausage, Smoked Sausage, & Ham is...

    This is true in a lot of the US right now. It's a renters market and you need to be prepared to handle losses for a while renting out newer properties. For some people it can be worth it, but you are in a far from ideal financial situation to take that risk imo. Some people hate on renting in...
