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 😎

Patches Emporium as some kinda armory for new characters.

New game plus isn’t for everyone, but starting with your favorite weapon might be.

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 😎

🤣😂

not Roman

Koln: am I a joke to you?

Ya exactly this. When used well it enhances the boss. When overused it becomes annoying and cliched.

Is O’Brien going to beam up a Q, store his powers in the buffer, then finishing beaming his leftover mortal coil to the holodeck with no safety protocols to fight to the death against Worf’s Skeletor? I want to say yes.

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.

and then that Cato MFer ups and kills himself just before I was gonna kill him with kindness. Can you believe that? What a dick right?

How I imagine Caesar retold the story over dinner.

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).

No one ever think to give him the nickname of Sybian Soong?

I’ve made a terrible mistake

Doppelsöldner has entered the chat 😎

Doppelsöldner (“double-mercenaries”, “double-pay men”,[1] from German doppel- meaning double, Söldner meaning mercenary) were Landsknechte in 16th-century Germany who volunteered to fight in the front line, taking on extra risk, in exchange for double payment.

Chili looks really good. I can see the little bits of onion and tomato glistening in the sauce 🤤

Probably need more crossbows because the Romans sorta forgot, according to Emperor Leo VI The Wise

The fact that archery has been completely neglected and fallen into disuse among the Romans has caused a great deal of harm nowadays.

Same :(

Please tell me this is the German word for wielding a tire iron 🙏

Finally, a chance to talk about Michael the Deacon! I mean there’s not a lot to say but it’s really interesting that an Ethiopian deacon befriended Martin Luther and demonstrated to him there’s valid Christianity beyond the pope’s clutches.

Edit: and for extra Star Trek fun Ferengi and Negus are Ethiopian words for foreigner and king 🤓

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.
