Strato, forget that marinade. I find they are often way too sweet especially in plain vegetable stir-fry dishes. If you make stir-fry often, invest in some ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and if you eat seafood, fish sauce and oyster sauce. There is a mushroom-based sauce that is supposed to be similar to oyster sauce, so maybe look for that. I also have hoisin sauce and a concentrated dashi stock, but I make a lot of stir-fry. If you like the sweetness of the marinade you use, hoisin sauce will make an excellent replacement for it. If you toast some sesame seeds in the oil first, then add them later; that is also delicious.
As far as basics, get some oil really hot. Throw in grated ginger, grated garlic, and chopped onions (the peanuts too, if you want). Get them translucent, then throw in your egg. Cook, then throw in your other vegetables. Add soy sauce, a shot of sesame oil (1-2 if dark, 3-4 if light), and if you eat it, a splash of fish sauce/oyster sauce. Hoisin or dashi can be added now. So can the toasted sesame seeds.
Black bean sauce can also be used. If you like it hot, chili garlic sauce or sriracha. House of Tsang has Mongolian fire oil that is tasty, but be careful if you use sesame oil, things can get a little greasy.
Cool, thanks a lot! I don't eat seafood, so I will try out the hoisin.
I wonder if veggie dishes at chinese restaurants usually use oyster or fish sauce? Maybe I don't want to know.
Hoisin is often referred to as "chinese BBQ sauce". Oyster sauce, while tasting nothing like oysters, isn't as sweet. Both have about the same color and consistency.
Fish sauce? Yea, you'll know it when you see it. It's pretty powerful stuff.
According to just the Chinese places around here, their veggie dishes usually don't have oyster sauce in them but their beef dishes tend too. But I guess if you're eating beef, what's the harm in eating oysters? Heh. Yeah, fish sauce will be noticeable. And if you are curious, ask them. When I was a vegan, I asked about everything. I would be more concerned about them sauteing/boiling things in some sort of meat stock before worrying about oyster sauce content.
Ah, I've tried that marinade, Dr. Z. I think it's on their website.
And for anyone who likes to use seasoning blends, for pete's sake, don't use Weber's Zesty Lemon Seasoning. It is so bland. It's awful.
no, like firefox. i don't want to block every fucking ad on the page manually
I don't use FireFox, so I don't know how AdBlock works. There are several community-compiled filter lists for the Opera blocker, if that's the sort of thing you mean. The default block option is also at a lower level directory, too, so it knocks out multiple ads at a source.
I don't really get the need for adblock. Are you just allergic to banners or something?
I mean, sure, if there's something that's popping up over other shit or something, but I never have much trouble with those.
I think it's because viruses and shit can sneak onto your computer through ads or something?
some people have netbooks or older computers and the ads slow the computer down
especially when you have multiple tabs open
plus the whole malware entering your computer through ads thing, which my avast has caught several times from legitimate sites
I have both an old pile of shit desktop and a netbook, I usually have up to 2 dozen tabs open, and ads have never been make-or-break on a site for me before.
so on the startup page for google chrome. those icons of your most visited sites. is there any way to choose what sites are represented? because that would be so awesome to have all my favorite sites right there on the startup page.

Just click on that button at the top of the window that looks like the letter x, then click on the Opera shortcut on your desktop.
Or better yet, hover over the thumbnail of the page you don't want to appear until the little X pops up. Then press that little X. Press it like you've never pressed a little X before.
Edit: On the other side of the X is a pin icon. You can pin pages you want to always appear. If you pin 8 pages then I assume you'll never have the problem of unwanted pages popping up again.
What about all that "lol teh googelz is spying on u" jazz I heard when Chrome was released?
Ferrus on
I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

yeah, that's what i meant, an autoupdating filter. the other things that turned me off to opera are the way it handled mouse gestures and the lack of password sync across your profile. oh, also the interface isn't as customizable, but that's a minor thing i guess; the interface is pretty minimal to begin with
So, I'd like to marinate some tofu for our fajita dinner tonight and I would like to use some of the adobo from canned chipotles. Any ideas what to use with the adobo sauce? Should I use the adobo after the grill so it doesn't burn? Anyone used it on grilled food?

I was looking around for something quick and found it. Works in a pinch.

so penny-arcade wants to have 2 ads on their front page? yeah alright. homies gotta pay bills

Flash on the other hand...
which a lot are
as opposed to just porn and wikipedia
and yeah, you can delete things off that part or have them pinned there. also your bookmarks should be shown at the top of that page
edit oh so I can pin things there? how?
I don't think I've made notable use of a site with flash ads since... Oh man, remember that site Daily Radar?

i installed it, used it once, uninstalled once i found out it has no adblock

yes but they do have add-ons to customize firefox so it has the features you want
operas garbage, there is a reason it has less market share
but it fucks up stuff that firefox doesnt
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

still, it's the little things
if you are that worried about your privacy on the internet you would be using proxies and probably not posting on an internet forum
if they want to see data on what causes crashes and my system specs, oh nooooooooooo
Yes, but opera doesn't force me to spend a day and a half tracking down all the features I like every time I install it.

You've almost achieved a tautology. Maybe if you try a little harder, you can make it.
