Cooking @lemmy.world

Spaghetti with meat sauce, parmesan, and parsley

  • At least the syfy miniseries dared to adapt Children of Dune.

    I actually like it. We finally get an Irulan with agency and see Alia as a full character. And Leto 2 getting sandy.

    Not sure how I feel about the Baron narrating in rhyming couplets though. Maybe just a tad too strange, even for Dune.

  • When Raphael starts singing his own fight music. 🧑‍🍳😘

    God damn I’ve never played a game that went so hard on the details.

    My other favorite part is is how genuinely distraught Zevlor is when he sees what’s become of Wyll. So realistic that he would react that way instead of robotically singing my praises for defeating the goblins.

  • 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.

  • Haha so right. My original draft lamented how the psychedelic, pansexual, spy with a little gun Jerry Cornelius only lives on in the pale echo of Austin Powers. But then I thought it was too niche.

    But ya The Final Programme was my first literary introduction to homosexuality. The weird psychotropic defense towers on the Cornelius estate may have been my first introduction to mind altering states too.

    The original velvet suited dandy from swinging London (imo):

  • Shevek, a brilliant physicist, decides to take action. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have isolated his planet of anarchists from the rest of the civilized universe.

    I must say this recommendation is delightfully on theme, nicely done 😎

  • This caught my attention

    A Wizard of Earthsea is one of the most beautifully written books in the English language.

    I’m a total sucker for beautiful prose, especially Gormenghast.

    Do you have any memorable lines that stuck with you?

  • Stormbringer is Elric’s famous sword. You can hear someone shout it in GoT when Joffrey is about to name his sword. It’s evil and drinks the souls of those it kills, passing some of the energy to Elric.

    Anyways. Elric is a sickly inbred albino prince of a an ancient , evil, and decaying empire (aka Fantasy Britain). Without his evil sword he is a total weakling pushover.

    And people think this is a white power character/symbol? Blows my mind.

  • That’s way harder.

    There’s always his iconic anthihero Elric, or the modern incarnation Geralt of Rivia. I like The Vanishing Tower (Elric IV I think) as a standalone in-media-res story.

    I personally enjoy the really weird stuff in Blood: A Southern Fantasy.

    Behold the Man won him an award and I thought it was a thought provoking novella, at least for its time.

  • Science Fiction @lemmy.world

    Left wing science fiction you say?

  • 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 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.
  • Reminds me of Absolution Gap and its insistence on brane cosmology theory. Most of the book is a side quest for a transmitter to an adjacent “brane” having the deus ex machina. I haven’t seen “brane” used instead of dimension/timeline since.

  • 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).
