  • Me too, and I remember in the mid 2000’s before flat screens took off the biggest CRT you could get was 36", or there may have been a 40" but it was ultra expensive. One thing though is that the wider aspect ratio of modern tvs inflates the size number if you were to watch 3:4 aspect shows on a modern tv you are losing a bunch of viewing area on the sides.

    Regardless, modern tvs are indeed insanely huge, and I’m loving it.





  • The one in the picture was done in a springform pan but we also did one in a cast iron pan at the same time. They both came out exactly the same except for how vertical the walls were. Also the springform pan leaked some oil so the oven got all smokey. Would definitely recommend putting the springform pan in a baking tray, we just didn’t have room to do that with the other pan in there.


  • The pepperoni was pretty thick and we had no issues with them burning or anything. There was smoke but only because the springform pan dribbled oil into the bottom of the oven. We did one in springform and another in cast iron, both squeezed into the oven at the same time and they both came out identical except I liked the vertical walls from the springform pan better.

    Thanks, if I ever make it again there’s a few things I’d do to improve it

    • 1 make sure the puff pastry is not too thick on the ends. It didn’t quite get fully cooked there
    • 2 any ornamentation like those leaves I added should not be the highest part, put them more to the sides so they don’t burn while the rest of the top browns
    • 3 we made a giant crepe on a sheet pan in the oven rather than smaller ones in a pan which worked great but it could have been thinner
    • 4 we sous vide’d the beef the day before and it was still quite cold when it went into the oven. It didn’t end up getting fully heated through so it was cool to the touch in the middle. Still tasted great but if it was closer to room temp when it went into the oven maybe it would have fully warmed through

    I followed the Gordon Ramsay recipe with french guy cooking Alex from youtube’s modifications which are mainly to sous vide the beef beforehand (it turns out our instant pot has a sous vide function AND it actually works really well?!). I also made the crepe like Alex by making it as one huge crepe in the oven rather than multiple small ones in a skillet. Other than the crepe being a little too thick it turned out great!




  • They did make the leaf plus that has decent range with the same formfactor though. Also I’m quite sure the batteries are not in the trunk, unless that’s where they put the extras in the plus version or something? Our 2015 leaf had significantly more trunk space than our brand new bolt despite being of similar dimensions. The bolt does have better rear leg room though.

    The main issues with the leaf stem from not having any active heating/cooling for the battery and using an uncommon plug for level 3 charging that is going the way of the dodo. If you live in a temporate climate and don’t need to fast charge for road trips the leaf is a totally acceptable car IMO.
