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.
Gah what a fucking tool.
Well at least he isn’t getting paid when I rewatch Ace Ventura 2 on plex 😎
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
- Pour the oil into a medium sauce pan over medium low heat.
- Once oil warms, add rice and stir to get rice coated in oil.
- Once a few grains begin to brown, add the onion and stir to get the onion coated.
- Once a few onions begin to sweat, add the garlic and chicken and stir to get everything coated, then increase heat to medium
- Stir regularly until you can't see raw chicken; ideally everything is glistening with some light browning.
- Add the tomato sauce and stir until coated Use the chicken broth to rinse tomato sauce out of the can
- Pour the broth and tomato sauce mixture into the pan and bring to a boil (increase to medium-high or just wait)
- Add the salt and pepper now.
- 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.
Chili looks really good. I can see the little bits of onion and tomato glistening in the sauce 🤤
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.
I never really considered that, but now I look online and I see lots of recipes using oyster mushrooms. Sounds tasty 👌
Don't you get it? You removed! I work for Dick Jones! Dick Jones! He's the Number Two Guy at OCP. OCP runs the cops.
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 🤷♀️

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.
That’s cool sure.
But on the other side: Reddit betrayed the social contract and deserves to rot in consequence.
One droplet of lost engagement becomes an ocean; just stop showing up 🤷♀️
Did you miss “tranq”, short for tranquilizer? It’s pretty native and modern sounding right? That being said ya the list is disappointing
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

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 🤷♀️
One of those nobodies I’ve heard of and at least has a good song 🤷♀️, bigger than kiss by teenage bottle rocket
Hey I’m actually growing a black sapote!
Here’s a blurry pic of the fruit forming
Oh is it finally time to eat?
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 🖕
Welcome to the team

Been here 5 days and I hate it already, I understand this vacancy now.
Elden Ring DLC Boss is a doozy

My personal journey of crawl > walk > run > slap
No, I do not want to play Elden Ring, Sam-I-am.

Yall got any of that hitbox porn?
The moral fiber of Captain Archer

I actually read somewhere that Archer did nothing wrong and afterward I began remembering all these scenes haha.
Sokath, his browser’s eyes wide open

They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my

Is this still a thing? I haven't played for a long time

Also, Engineering: divert all life support to shields and Helm: initiate attack pattern alpha 💪
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.
A history of violence

Possibly unpopular opinion: Harbinger is one of the absolute best episodes of Enterprise
Who says S31 gets to have all the fun?

These episodes live rent-free in my head.
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.
Watching Enterprise for the very first time

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