[QUESTION] When making soups, exactly how important is it to cover the pot?
  • The main consequence is that you're losing a lot more water without a lid. That can be helpful for sauces etc., but a little less so for soup.

    Simply try it, you can also add more water to make up for the lost liquid.

  • A third of Americans agree with Trump that immigrants ‘poison the blood’ of US
  • I think this is also a problem of perspective: the US Democrats are only "left" when seen from inside the US political spectrum. Seen from the outside they barely reach a center position and would be considered conservative-right in many other countries.

  • DNS trouble with pihole running with podman
  • The request from the other machines go through the firewall and are being redirected, the requests from the NAS are basically trying to connect to localhost, so no redirection here as the requests aren't leaving the machine.

  • Forgejo v9.0 released
  • Docker Gitea to Docker Forgejo was basically using a different image and pointing it to the existing database. Not sure if and when both will be different enough for that to no longer work. But I also only use it as a docker compose storage repository. No idea about automation etc.

  • [QUESTION] For pasta sauces, is it best to use fresh tomatoes or canned?
  • would canned tomatoes have a higher carbon footprint than fresh, or would the differences be negligible?

    That massively depends on when and how the fresh tomatoes have been grown. Could be a lot better, could be a lot worse.

  • Zwiebelplootz time is here

    Autumn is here, which means it's time for Federweißer (new wine, still fermenting) and Zwiebelplootz!

    Sautéed onions and bacon mixed with eggs and a kind of heavy crème fraiche on a yeast dough base.

    But beware, every town and sometimes family has their own, slightly different recipe, so no guarantee it'll look the same should you ever try it.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federweisser

    Edit: So whoever wants to give it a try, here's the recipe:

    Dough:

    • 375g flour (Type 405 in our case)
    • 250ml milk
    • 60g butter (room-temperature soft)
    • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cube fresh baking yeast (German cubes have 42g, so 21g)

    Topping:

    • 1kg onions, cut to fine rings

    • 100g bacon, finely diced

    • if the bacon is lean, add 20g of your preferred fat (lard, ghee, sunflower oil, etc)

    • 3 eggs

    • 4 tablespoons Schmand (i think this will depend on where you are, but it's basically a sour heavy cream. Ours has 24% fat)

    • salt and pepper

    • ground nutmeg

    • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds

    Mix all the dough ingredients together, knead until you have a smooth dough. Let rest at room temperature until it has roughly doubled in volume (about 30 minutes)

    Meanwhile, take a large(!) pan or pot, put in bacon (and extra fat if applicable) and lightly fry, then add the onions. It helps to separate the slices into rings while adding. Sautée until soft. Let them cool down.

    Pre-heat your oven to 200°C top/bottom heat. Convection should work too, just reduce the temperature as always. Roll out your dough on a baking tray. We use baking parchment or whatever it's called in English. Pull up the sides a little so you have a small rim.

    Mix Schmand (sour cream, whatever else you have as a substitute) and the eggs, add salt (quite a bit), pepper and nutmeg. Crush the caraway seeds if possible, add those too. Add the cooled-down onions and mix well. Spread evenly on top of the dough.

    Bake at 200°C between 20 and 30 minutes until the bottom is done and the topping is no longer soggy (this will depend heavily on your oven. Just check regularly)

    Tastes best when still warm, but no longer hot.

    Cut up it should look roughly like this:

    Munch munch munch

    What should be the caterpillar of an African death's-head hawkmoth (as far as my Google-fu tells me) having lunch in a botanical garden on the Azores. That thing was massive, but I guess you need a certain size for a 12cm wingspan.

    Luck of the dice

    Dice in the Crete sunset. 5 ones in the first throw.

    We were playing a game called "to 10000", where different groups are worth a certain amount of points. 3x 1 in one throw is worth 1000, 4x 10000. We counted this one as 100k points in one throw, although the wife was somehow not amused.

    The picture came out better than expected, I mostly took it as proof this actually happened.
