      Zoidberg, you are a sea creature, you can probably handle a little under twice the salt a human can.

    We made Macaroni and Cheese, Peas, and Bacon tonight.

    That wasn’t a picture of tonight’s. It’s an older picture. Looks the same though.

    I wrote up the recipe a few years ago to add to the knowledge base at work, and I included a suggested serving size:

    Customary serving size: enough to make you feel unwell, then 1 helping more

    Edit:

    If you want the recipe:

      So, I have to ask, why peas? It’s not something I would think to add to mac and cheese.

        Because vegetables make the carbs, cheese, and bacon not count. It’s a balanced diet!

          If you just pour some green sprinkles on it then it’s essential the same thing as peas as green sprinkles are the same color as peas.

        In my wife’s family putting peas in it is my a time-honored tradition. They even sing a little song: “Eat that mackie cheese and peas,” or “Eat that mackie cheese, no peas,” depending. Especially camping - they use dried peas which get rehydrated by the time it’s cooked. The one additive they also like that I can’t stand is tuna. In a sandwich, great, but not in my mackie cheese pleeeze.

        Peas (fresh or frozen) are nice and bland without being gross about it. You can add them to all kinds of stuff and forget they’re even in it. Soup, pot pies, mashed potatoes, anything with gravy or cheese, meatloaf, etc.

        It just goes really well. The sweet of the peas balances the salt in the bacon.

          Fair enough, I’ll have to give it a try next time I make mac and cheese.

            Remember to throw bacon on top of the peas ;-)

    This is true. There is no such thing as having too much mac and cheese.

    Easiest mac and cheese recipe that is both cheap and nearly perfect

    https://www.seriouseats.com/ingredient-stovetop-mac-and-cheese-recipe

    Ingredients:

    • mac
    • cheese
    • evaporated milk

    Easily beats kraft for flavor. Not QUITE as cheap but pretty damn close. Same cooking time, lower effort.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)
