  • 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.

  • Testing a new bread flour before Thanksgiving:

    Jump

  • 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.

  • beef birria with rice and beans

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Parallel dimensions? No, they're hyperlayers

    Jump

  • 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.

  • grilled cheese with parmesan thyme butter

    Jump

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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 🤓

  • Making simple oat wraps from scratch... (recipe and notes)

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Chicken tacos

    Jump

  • 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?
