I really like the thick spaghetti from barilla and using the starchy pasta water to thicken the sauce.
This batch might be a little too thick but at least it’s clinging to the pasta.
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.
Gah what a fucking tool.
Well at least he isn’t getting paid when I rewatch Ace Ventura 2 on plex 😎
FWIW, Moorcock discusses often in his forewords living the hellscape of post blitz London as a preteen. I highly doubt he would ever co-sign on another nazi regime.
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.
What’s a good place to start? I only really know her for invoking the divine right of kings like a boss 😎
Saw a post here that mentioned Michael Moorcock as an anarchist 😎
My man moorcock is unapologetic.
I recommend The Land Leviathan (Black Attila conquers racist America) and The Champion of Garathorm (Hero becomes a woman to fulfill destiny and save the day) not because they are good but because they broach taboo topics decades ahead of the curve.
not Roman
Koln: am I a joke to you?
I like to add cheese and herbs to the butter for extra flavor and heretic fondue slices inside for their perfect meltiness.
I made some beef birria from scratch a while back and I had a lot of fun. Served with homemade beans, white rice, and flour tortillas
I usually make red rice, but dinner seemed red enough already. But ultimately the onions, tortillas, and rice (and plate!) ended up making it look too white 🤷♀️

sauce looking good
ready to shred the beef
This is how I make egg sandwiches as someone who doesn't like mayonnaise.
When I combine the cream cheese and egg it creates a mixture too thick to spread, but laying down slices that stick to the cream cheese itself ensures the eggs aren't falling out while I eat.
I sprinkle salt and pepper on the eggs before I assemble and eat. 
Thanks Mughal guy 👌
and then he retired to the shire to grow cabbage. the end.
Jason Vigo: dna manipulated by vengeful ferengi

Jack Crusher: dna manipulated by vengeful human/changeling/borg/hybrids or something like that
Well, mostly agree on 😉
The emperors of the late fourth and fifth centuries then proceeded to invite people into the house, promising its shelter, if only they would help them light one more fire – and then when the house was burned down and everyone was left on the cold ground, they tried to shift the blame onto the very guests they had invited.

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 😎
