Spaghetti with meat sauce, parmesan, and parsley

I really like the thick spaghetti from barilla and using the starchy pasta water to thicken the sauce.

This batch might be a little too thick but at least it’s clinging to the pasta.

  • It’s like double the effort, but I really like Kenji style potatoes where you parboil and toss them to build a slurry coating then roast that coating into crispy goodness.

    Next time I do I want to try a Parmesan finish 😎

  • German must have its own share of disappointing terms.

    Pferd comes to mind as an example. I really expected something more metal like horzdraken or comical like hoofenstreider. But no, just a boring Roman loan word.

  • This looks really really good, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside.

    Reminds me of those thin rustic slices with big sugar that you see at fancy brunch joints.

    Not sure what they’re called but this is the best picture I could find.

  • This is how I know how to make it, however the Latin market now sells tomato sauce packets that are about 200 grams and I plan to adjust the recipe to use them and skip all the freezing/thawing of the extra tomato sauce.

    1 cup rice

    1 drizzle of oil

    half can of tomato sauce (these cans are 14.5 ounces)

    2 1/2 cups chicken broth

    1/2 medium onion, minced

    1-2 garlic cloves, minced

    1 boneless chicken thigh, cut up or cubed

    3/4 tsp salt, sprinkle of white pepper

    1. Pour the oil into a medium sauce pan over medium low heat.
    2. Once oil warms, add rice and stir to get rice coated in oil.
    3. Once a few grains begin to brown, add the onion and stir to get the onion coated.
    4. Once a few onions begin to sweat, add the garlic and chicken and stir to get everything coated, then increase heat to medium
    5. Stir regularly until you can't see raw chicken; ideally everything is glistening with some light browning.
    6. Add the tomato sauce and stir until coated Use the chicken broth to rinse tomato sauce out of the can
    7. Pour the broth and tomato sauce mixture into the pan and bring to a boil (increase to medium-high or just wait)
    8. Add the salt and pepper now.
    9. Once at a low boil, put a lid on it and move it to a back burner on lowest heat for 25 minutes.
  • I made it 🙂

    Use soft butter put 1-2 tbsp of it into a small bowl, depending on how big your bread is etc.

    From an old jar of dried thyme leaves I’m trying to use up, I sprinkle some into my hand and rub it together until it gives a smell again. Tastes way better with fresh if you have it.

    Incrementally add enough rubbed thyme into the butter and stir it until it looks good. Then stir in some Parmesan cheese, but not so much that it stiffens up (I just add more butter when that happens).

    grilled cheese with parmesan thyme butter

    I like to add cheese and herbs to the butter for extra flavor and heretic fondue slices inside for their perfect meltiness.

  • it hasn’t been totally frustrating and time-consuming, so far

    If you like the taste I encourage you to try a batch using a tortilla press with smaller pieces of parchment. Should give you the same effect, but faster and without large unwieldy sheets. It’s what I do when I make corn tortillas, it’s way faster than mastering the hydration and finesse required for making them by hand. Plus you can prep an entire stack layered between parchments and then cook them all in one go.

    As for me, having to wash that pan every time isn’t sustainable. I’m just too lazy haha.

    beef birria with rice and beans

    I made some beef birria from scratch a while back and I had a lot of fun. Served with homemade beans, white rice, and flour tortillas

    I usually make red rice, but dinner seemed red enough already. But ultimately the onions, tortillas, and rice (and plate!) ended up making it look too white 🤷‍♀️

    more pictures

  • I really like this, strong abuela energy 👍

    Tortillas look especially crunchy. FWIW, when I make tacos I like to fry the corn tortillas and toss them in Parmesan cheese (shamelessly stole that from Jimboy’s Tacos).

    Do you make the beans or buy them refried from the nearby Vallarta or whatever?

    no mayo egg sandwich (cream cheese, egg, and lettuce)

    This is how I make egg sandwiches as someone who doesn't like mayonnaise.

    When I combine the cream cheese and egg it creates a mixture too thick to spread, but laying down slices that stick to the cream cheese itself ensures the eggs aren't falling out while I eat.

    I sprinkle salt and pepper on the eggs before I assemble and eat.

  • and all distros jumped into the honeypot

    As a filthy casual this is the most distressing part.

    I’ve observed the situation shift in just a few years from

    Winter Systemd is coming”

    To

    Winter Systemd is here, it’s everywhere, and i hate it”

  • Punch Time

  • Meanwhile, Final Fantasy Tactics with the translation-so-bad-it’s-might-be-a-masterpiece.

    Actually interesting and novel ability names

    Japanese: Dance with knives

    1997 Localization: Wiznaibus

    WotL Localization: Mincing Minuet

    Dialog that pulls no punches

    Japanese: My bad, but it's between you and your god

    1997 Localization: Tough luck...Don't blame me. Blame yourself or God.

    WoTL Localization: Forgive me. 'Tis your birth and faith that wrong you, not I.

    Other gems lost in the improved localization:

    • “heavens wish to destroy all minds”
    • “the doom of a planet”
    • “evanescence, such a sad word”
    • “time, save your kindness for the worthy”

    All that being said, the final fantasy gang is generally spectacular with English mastery. It’s like you can tell which books they like to read when they choose obscure words like Eidolon.

  • It’s obvious in HN because of the wide range of obscure topics (eg installing scaffolding on old British smoke stacks) that occasionally arise to the front page, all the ones on that topic are quickly flagged to oblivion.

    You don’t have to be a genius to see the pattern 🤷‍♀️

  • It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

    Truer now than when Henry Ford said it like a hundred years go.

    The SEC exists to shelter Self Regulating Organizations from any threats of democratic governance or law enforcement. Oh ya and to keep up the legalese charade that there literally is no such thing as counterfeit stock (because the Secret Service has purview over counterfeiting for some strange reason)

    Fuck the stock market 🖕

    I actually read somewhere that Archer did nothing wrong and afterward I began remembering all these scenes haha.

    Gowron delivers every single time 👌

    House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

    Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.

    Possibly unpopular opinion: Harbinger is one of the absolute best episodes of Enterprise

    In hindsight, "the Xindi attack" was a phase change into a much more hard-boiled season of Enterprise.

    They cranked it up way past 10, all the way to 24.

    I wasn't ready for a 28 episode sustained descent into darkness

    I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.

    This one hit me hard after everything that happened.

    I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.
