I eat deep-fried marinated chicken
wings with nasi lemak. How do I
marinate them? After some consideration I had come to the conclusion that they need to be
cooked in the marinade, which I then freeze as broth for other dishes.
At one point I cooked them sous-vide, but decided against it because it's so messy. But two things speak for
sous vide: firstly, cooking them in the pot produces more broth that I can use, and secondly
the meat doesn't quite fall off the bone. Is it better sous vide? Yesterday I tried it
sous vide again, this time cooking 1 kg (8 wings) for 20 hours at 82° setting (which
displayed as 79° or 80°). The result?
Still no response from CCCWarehouse.
Try a “chat” again? Yes, almost immediate response from Michael L, who appears to be the
only person in the department, unless it's a generic name for anybody there. He was also
the name who gave me the information I got on 22 November 2024.
It quickly became clear that he hadn't read the message I sent. Once again the suggestion
that I try pixel remapping. And then he stated that he couldn't find the order number,
which I had not sent him. So clearly he hadn't followed up at all.
In the evening, he did:
Based on the existing information, we can not accept your claim because our warranty
policy does not transfer to new owner when the product is re-sold.
But the other general expectations are dead pixels are possible and can be dealt with via
post processing, and re-mapping
Somehow he can't get past the pixel remapping issue, maybe because he hadn't read carefully.
And yes, I knew that CCCWarehouse claimed that the warranty wasn't transferable. That's why I
contacted them 2 days later and got the confirmation that the warranty was valid. But
that's going to be difficult to prove, even with the transcript that I have. I need to
consider all options here; maybe one would be to send the camera to an OM system service
centre overseas that respects the warranty that I have (and which makes no mention of
transfer of ownership).
Yesterday'schicken wings seemed a little overcooked, so I cooked the second batch for “only” 8 hours instead of 20.
Surprise: there was much less juice, only about 300 g instead of 800 g. And they
were marginally less inclined to disintegrate. So today I ate a nasi lemak with one wing from each batch.
But despite the long cooking, they still didn't fall off the bone. What else can I do?
I've investigated this irritating increase in CAPTCHAs. It happens on FreeBSD with either firefox or chromium, but not
on distress (Microsoft) with firefox. Are they maybe tracking browsers that
haven't been updated recently?
This page contains (roughly) yesterday's and today's entries. I have
a horror of reverse chronological documents, so
all my diary entries are chronological. This page normally contains the last two days,
but if I fall behind it may contain more. You can find older entries in
the archive. Note that I often update a diary entry
a day or two after I write it.
Do you have a comment about something I have written? This is a diary, not a
“blog”, and there is
deliberately no provision for directly adding comments. It's also not a vehicle
for third-party content. But I welcome feedback and try to
reply to all messages I receive. See the diary overview for more details. If you do
send me a message relating to something I have written, please indicate
whether you'd prefer me not to mention your name. Otherwise
I'll assume that it's OK to do so.
