Canada Strong isn’t about just withstanding this crisis, it’s about coming out of it stronger, more resilient, and more independent.

It’s about ensuring that no other country can determine our future, and that we can live how we want to live.

We have a plan, we’re on track, and we’re just getting started.

Personally I do not think appeasing the orange pedophile will do any good. Even if American booze goes back to the shelves, I am not buying it

The Trump administration has forced a Canadian-backed renewable energy company to abandon its landmark wind power project — and is demanding an equivalent investment in US fossil fuel development if the company wants to recoup $120 million USD in offshore wind leases.

Hi all,

Most recipes and videos I have seen online start with a yogurt based marinade for the chicken. The chicken is then "seared", removed from the pan, rest of sauce built up and chicken returned to finish cooking.

My issue here is that you cannot really sear wet stuff in a pan. So that chicken, covered in yogurt marinade will not really sear (even if you shake off the excess). You basically get a braising conditions in the pan. This probably DOES work in a grill as the marinade simply drips into the coals and burns but not in a pan.

So the question is:

• Wouldn't it be better to dry rub the chicken so it could be seared and simply use the yogurt (and rest of wet ingredients for the marinade) as a deglazing liquid afterwards?

Hi Lemmy,

I want to do a project that involves concrete. Basically I am making steps, giving them texture and stamping them so it looks somewhat like stones.

I have watched a million videos and I feel I can tackle this, plus I have a lot of areas to practice that won't be too visible so if the steps look a bit amateur it's fine.

My biggest question is about the effort of mixing concrete. I have a corded drill with a mixing paddle and most steps won't require much. However a few are larger and I would have to mix 10 bags or so. The drying time allows me to work one at a time and then do my stamping but I was wondering if this is feasible from an effort perspective.

I am an experienced DIYer but have not worked much with concrete, I made a coffee table, post bases, etc but never something that requires so many bags... am I setting myself up for failure / a broken back? hehehe
