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.

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.

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

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

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.

I never really considered that, but now I look online and I see lots of recipes using oyster mushrooms. Sounds tasty 👌

I really like this, strong abuela energy 👍

Tortillas look especially crunchy. FWIW, when I make tacos I like to fry the corn tortillas and toss them in Parmesan cheese (shamelessly stole that from Jimboy’s Tacos).

Do you make the beans or buy them refried from the nearby Vallarta or whatever?

Is O’Brien is faking transporter mishaps so he can sacrifice them to the void and keep the writhing eldritch horrors from swallowing the galaxy? I want to say yes.

ENT be divisive like that. Personally I rank S3 as the best of ENT and first 2 seasons is them trying to “just do what worked before” but not really succeeding.

I think what I dislike the most about early ENT (besides decontamination) is how they seemed to just throw away all the guest stars. Quantum leap costar especially was a travesty of wasted potential.

I love that episode, it has Archer’s most boneheaded command decision of all time.

I always wonder how the guy playing Travis felt about the writers creating an alien that stereotypes all human beings as white.

I mean, they could have at least explored how the character Travis felt about it. Real missed opportunity.

Me watching twilight for the first time with my daughter and seeing this scene:

Trying to think of it in terms of the real world is senseless.

It’s can also be fun 😎

Since Picard 3 it’s canon that the transporter is a meat printer that relies on cached DNA to do shallow copies.

Hacking that cache was the big plot reveal of how the borg-changelings infiltrated starfleet.
