The Sun Belt and Seattle

I think you should try it. I think an hour is appropriate for a lot of the story beats if you have a decent memory, though maybe an hour and a half would be better suited to some of the more involved parts. A lot of this is affected by your reading speed. There’s a lot of reading.

For what it’s worth, I also played it in bursts, but probably something like 2 hr sessions. There’s a lot of rough, serious material in that game and I found it a lot to process at once, so I took breaks between sessions fairly often.

This review was written like 2 years before the first ep of Enterprise aired, right?

It absolutely can be done by hand, though it may be the dish that convinces you that an electric mixer is worthwhile! 🤣

I’d say if you’ve made a hollandaise or whipped cream by hand, its a bit less work than that.

I often cheat a bit and make a simple custard from 3 eggs, 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, whisked together and baked in a water bath until still jiggly in the center, but otherwise set and that’s barely any effort. Make a caramel to coat the bottom of your baking vessel that you add before the custard mixture and call that a flan.

Custards and flans come to mind, pickled eggs are also wonderful and keep for a while. I’m partial to shakshuka, though it won’t use the eggs up as quickly as a frittata or quiche would.

I’m not so sure I’d call myself a “tankie”, but I’d like a $12k new car and if it were an EV, even better. I recently paid more for a used car! Cars, like everything else, have gotten so stupidly expensive. It would have been nice to see one thing actually become more affordable because I know wages ain’t gonna increase accordingly for a long time.

The more you cut an onion, the more cell walls you bust open, releasing more flavor. Grating works well for this, but a food processor will do a fairly good job, as would a grinder or mortar and pestle.

When I make curry, I usually just dice the onion, though, unless it’s supposed to be particularly onion forward, then I’m going to be using the mortar and pestle.

Pay walled article innit

Been playing this with my boyfriend and it’s great fun for coop play. It runs fairly well on his steam deck, too.

We’re just about to beat it, though, so hearing there’s a NG+ mode is kind of exciting.

I wonder what the new edition will bring

Add a lil fat to the pan. Small pat of butter or some olive oil will do. Heck, any lipid of your choosing, really.

Also, keep that metal spatula away from your nonstick cookware!!! You’ll scratch the coating, lose your nonstick surface and end up eating Teflon

It would appear that is exactly what I’m saying as long as the reader lacked any reading comprehension skills.

Why use an AI? Just like… take a selfie

Yeah yeah sure sure but why were you generating an image of a middle aged white man building Lego for your family? I’m baffled.

Could you elaborate on the use case you’re describing? You were trying to make an image of a middle aged white man building Lego for your family?

The site you linked is where I got my cleaver and I vouch for exactly what you’ve said. Though I haven’t seen an issue with my onions. I don’t oil the blade often but I do use it to chop meat (and thus their fats) once a week.

I’m pretty sure I got their #3 veggie cleaver, though I’m not really sure the difference between that and their carbon steel cleavers. Works fine for meat, but I don’t chop bones with it.

Got any tips on sharpening? I feel sloppy whenever I’m doing it and it seems like you take a pride in it, so if I could pick your brain on how to sharpen my cleavers better, I’d appreciate it!

The cheapo carbon steel cleaver is my favorite knife in my set. I got a block of Victorinox knives as a gift and yeah they work fairly well (you’re right about sharpening being annoying tho), but the $13 cleaver is where it’s at. It’s sharp, it sharpens well and that style of knife is just so useful. I pull out two other knives generally these days, the serrated one for bread and a ceramic one for tomatoes. The rest? Cleaver time, baybee!

Also, mincing things with the cleaver is great. Mincing things with TWO cleavers? Now that’s joy.

Nice! The first one was well done and a great resource for running a game, but some streamlining could be useful.

Great topic, I love reading the other responses too

The Mia Cucina brand sauces are the only jarred tomato sauce allowed in our home. The one with wine mixed in is my preference, but I haven’t had one I disliked yet.

I’m a fan of the Steve’s and Ed’s brand Buffalo sauce, though I’m not sure how it does poured over carbs.

I like to stir fry noodles and dress them with hot pot seasoning and eel sauce, but maybe that’s some stoner food shit.

Chopped pickles and hot sauce with the.mayo is my go to answer. Or chopped smoked Chipotle in Adobo sauce. Veg like tomato and celery also work well.

They’re antithetical to enjoying cooking and food and so they have no place in my home.
