With that much booze who can think of chicks (or anything at all)?

Hey @Munchies_Matt! I made your BBQ marinade[^]!
Of course, I couldn't find preserved lemons, so I had to make my own[^] ("normal" lemons, though, not Moroccan).
I bought the Ras al-hanout from Amazon, but unfortunately, the mix I got didn't contain fenugreek, so I had to add that manually. No prob!
Problem with the marinade is: EVERYBODY LIKES IT TOO MUCH! So now, when we plan to barbecue, everybody asks me to make the delicious marinade - all the time... 
It's perfect for both chicken and pork chops btw!

Sounds like you got the recipe right!
|
|
|
|
|

Do you stick the preserved lemon in whole, chop, or blitz it?
You can make your own Ras al-hanout:
2 1/2 tbsp cumin seed
2 tbsp coriander seed
1 cinnamon stick
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp black peppercorn
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp cardamom pod (seeds from about 10 pods)
Toast the whole spices in a small pan until they are aromatic and have turned a shade or two darker. Tip into a pestle and mortar, then add the ready-ground spices, and crush to a fine powder.
Not tried it with fenugreek...probably wouldn't want a lot, as it's pretty bitter.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I did like the recipe said (posted the link in the original post): almost quartered the lemons, put salt in the middle and squeezed them into the jar. Then added more salt and repeated. Let everything rest in a dark cool place in at least 3 weeks.
I must admit that even if they weren't Moroccan lemons, they turned out pretty darned good, and almost half of the jar I made is used up already. 
I might try making the Ras as-hanout myself the next time just for the fun of it, but I had to buy two jars at a time on Amazon, so it'll last me some time, probably this season out...

No, I meant when you used them in the marinade - did you throw them in in big lumps, or chop / blitz them to a liquid / pulp for marination?

Ah, ok, I see what you mean. The preserved lemons recipe said that you should discard the pulp of the lemon and chop the peel finely. So that's what I did. I chopped them into tiny cubes, perhaps 1 or 2 mm on each side. And then as Matt mentioned, I added some of the salty lemon juice from the jar...

...that many of the people in QA find code on the internet, and don't try to read it before posting a question here? Many of them seem to assume that any code they find will automatically do exactly what they want and are completely thrown if it needs any changes.
Which as you and I both know is always going to be the case?
Some of these people seem to have jobs in IT!
What is happening to development? It used to be heading for status as a real "Profession", but now...it just seems to me that it's heading for Thicky City...
Thoughts anyone?

Possibly a problem since everyone can call himself a programmer as soon as he can open VS and put in hello world.

True, but not only that!
I've been programming for 40 years now. I started when computers were - if not in their infancy - then at least quite new. I know a lot of things about how they work and why stuff is done the way it is, and how it has evolved throughout the years to the state it is in now.
Young people learning "programming" cannot possibly learn all this in 2 years in school - let alone 4 weeks - and get an understanding about all the aspects of programming.
It is my understanding that the computer lessons in school tend to focus more on theoretical ideas than on practical programming...
I'm currently enrolled in a series of courses on MS Dynamics AX, because I got myself a job programming AX. I've never had anything to do with that before, and when I started, I had no idea what X++ was. But it turned out to be childs plaý. Because I've worked with C# for many years, it was no problem doing X++ either.
In the same class, there are two youngsters, fresh out from school who have just gotten their first programming job (also programming AX). But they have no clue about what to do, how to solve the tasks, and they have both failed both certification tests we've had so far.
I talked with them about their education, and asked if they hadn't had any .NET programming in school at least. Their answer was that they had done a small C# winforms application during a 2 week course. I wonder (but never got any answer to it) what the heck they had used the rest of the time for...
And based on a 2 week C# course, one of the MAJOR IT companies in the country hired them as Dynamics AX developers...
I don't mean to say that they are stupid or anything, just that there is way too much you need to learn! And I really have no solution to how schools should give the students all the knowledge they need, because it seems like mission impossible in my opinion.
