Yep, that's pretty much what mine look like. I've had them in restaurants when it seems like they've still retained their shape, but maybe that's just the skill of the chef stuffing them

The last several times, I've done the peppers on the gas stove just as described. I must be moving them around too much or something, as they're definitely soft before they're blistered/charred. I looked for poblanos the other day but didn't find any. Maybe next weekend.

The YouTube-algorithm led me down a strange rabbit hole. So I listened so some Spiritbox, Jinjer, Lorna Shore lately. I did listen to Metal, when younger and some Hardcore. It seems there have been tons of new bands since then and even the belting and screaming got more sophisticated :D . https://w...

Thanks for the responses. Katharine, I've tried roughing up the outsides, but possibly not enough. The skin is so waxy that whatever's left still doesn't allow the batter to stick. An Seanduine, that's exactly what I do. Thing is, once the skin is all blistered, the rest of the pepper is soft. I've ...

I love chile rellenos, but can never get the texture of the chile right. I've tried poblanos, Anaheims, and probably a few other peppers. The egg batters that I've used won't stick to unpeeled peppers, but the only couple of ways I know of to peel peppers, by blistering, leave a soggy pepper. When i...

Another tune with a similar title but very different vibe:

I got a spam email this morning with the title: An Urgent Appeal for freedom from our CEO I figured it was from a group with an evil CEO, but it was a message from the CEO of some organization appealing on behalf of Afghans (the people, not the bed coverings). Not the dogs? I'm strictly a cat perso...

That is so cool! Do the baroque fingerings actually work on that one or would you have to half hole the other notes when playing chromatically? No, they don't play like baroque flutes at all. Ralph made so-called baroque flutes that were sort-of hybrids -- small holes, baroque fingerings, bigger bo...

I've really been into Epica lately. They're a Dutch symphonic metal band. One thing that's unique about them is that they do these song cycles that go across multiple albums. In fact, there's one that goes across two bands (began with After Forever). Here's one comprising three songs from three albu...

I picked up some test-tube holders at work a few weeks ago that someone was tossing. They're definitely overkill for a desktop whistle holder, as they hold 40, but they keep them upright and from clanking into each other. I'm using them to hold partially- to fully-finished whistles that I'm making. ...

I'm a beginner and I was looking at some of my high D whistles comparing bore sizes. I noticed that my Oak slides exactly into my Dixon Trad while my Dixon Trad fits exactly in my Walton Mellow. So now I'm curious. With respect to both sound and playability, what are the effects of bore size? Is th...

And perhaps they would have even used the sandpaper of the day - rushes - to polish the bore further if they felt the need. How did they use rushes Terry? (it's a search that sends Google off in several more obvious wrong directions). Edit: Ah, OK, Equisitum , I hadn't thought of that as a rush Coo...

Changing which low note happens when you put your little finger down on a 7th hole doesn't really change the location or size of that hole. No matter which note happens when you put the little finger down, the note that's emitting from that hole, the note when the little finger is raised, is the sa...
