  • How much does the state government of California actually pay to the federal government? When we hear these things about states that pay more in federal taxes than they receive aren’t we normally talking about the individuals and businesses filing their federal taxes and then some of that getting back to the state? Most of this isn’t State money going to the feds. It’s the state money of the individuals within the state sending in money.

    What taxes is the state collecting and then sending to the feds? At the state stops paying but the individuals keep paying then doesn’t really make any difference? Are individuals going to risk going to prison for federal tax evasion?

    I want you to know up front that you came to my post to open your mouth. I didn’t come to yours.

    Your first link is very specific that if a recipe calls for sauteing then you shouldn’t skip that step. Your first link is not specific to creamed soups and is a general guideline. This recipe doesn’t call for it. It didn’t call for it the first time I made it 20 years ago and nothing has changed since.

    Are there versions that do call for it? Yes. And people are welcome to make them.

    The first link mentions long cooking but isn’t explicit about how long of long. This recipe is about 20 minutes. Not normally considered “long.”

    I have taste buds and a working nose and would notice any latent bitterness or acridness. In fact just this week I posted about how to solve the problem of acrid and astringent flavors in wild blackberries. My wife can’t even taste it in them. But I can.

    I have fed this to a lot of people including professional chefs. Never once has anyone ever mentioned any off flavors. When I say it’s not an issue here it’s because it’s not an issue here.

    Your second link is useless. It contains a publisher summary of a whole paper instead of the actionable text from pages 200-226. I looked but couldn’t bring a copy online. Google books has it but only the first ~80 pages are available.

    I do appreciate helpful advice and tips. But I don’t appreciate people telling me there is a problem when there isn’t a problem. Most people are like that.

    This link hurts me as much as it might hurt you. But here is a version from international fraud Robert Irvine that doesn’t saute. Here is different one. And another

    As you can see there are versions out there that don’t saute.
