If you have access to bulk spices at your local grocery, try mixing the following to your own personal taste: black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, mustard powder, chile peppers, cumin, celery seed. 🤘🏼
p.s. If you have a food dehydrator, try lightly charring some hatch chilis over open flame and then dehydrating them after they’re cooled. Grinding them into powder (+seeds = spicy) and adding that to your mix. 🧑🍳
I never noticed before, paprika is bell pepper, onion powder and celery seed, It’s the Cajun mirepoix. Makes perfect sense it would be predominant in the seasoning.
when dicing onions cut radially first, then slice across, it saves you that weird half slice that's traditionally used for dicing onions.
I use cast iron for nearly everything, it survives a hundred years because it's bulletproof not because it's gingerly handled every time it's removed from it's velvet case. People dragged them around on Chuck wagons, you will not kill it with soap. Worst case it gets a little sticky and now you need to cook some bacon in it.
A splash of acid in your soup or stew at the end really wakes it up.
Never cook rice without at least a couple bay leaves. Ideally you'll cook it in chicken stock as well, add flavour where you can.
The best chicken stock in a jar is Better Than Bullion. Hands down. No contest.
With a splash of oil you can cook eggs even in a sticky cast iron pan.
Always use hand protection of some kind with a mandolin. I've never seen a non-pro chef go without and not fuck up their hand. Even pros lose the tips of their fingers sometimes too.
If you want to recreate movie theater popcorn at home you need the following things:
A whirlypop or other stovetop cooker
Coconut oil, refined
Popcorn kernels, quality varies, find a good brand
Fine salt
"Popcorn oil" - this is butter flavored oil sold next to the kernels
Here's what you do, set up a bowl to dump your popcorn in, throw some salt in the whirlypop with a spoon of coconut oil, and just a tiny glug of the popcorn oil, not much just a tad. Add your kernels, crank the heat to high and start cranking. Do. Not. Stop. The popcorn will begin to pop after an interminable wait. Keep cranking until it either gets hard to crank or the popping slows down significantly. Then quickly dump your popcorn into the waiting bowl. Do not add salt, you already did this, the fine salt will be well distributed this way. Add a bit of popcorn oil. Shake the bowl a bit to distribute, add more if desired etc. Then enjoy your movie theater popcorn.
It took me years to work out how to do it without the Naks oil, which I bought from a local popcorn shop for awhile.
I made a Ubuntu VM and followed the instructions on github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, and it looks like it worked but I’m having issues getting a secure connection. I should have the correct ports open on the server and firewall so I’m not sure, I’m kind of a potato.
Yes. Lemmy-Easy-Deploy works great. My issue was I did not have the domain set up properly to redirect from www.domain.com to domain.com, so the initial setup didn’t work. My email doesn’t work but email is hard.
I usually adopt. Call them by the name they were given (unless it’s really stupid then I’ll try to think of one) wait a few weeks, a nickname usually presents itself aaaaand that’s the new name. They’re not always winners but, when the damn dog only response to “Ass Clown” you’re kinda locked in =\
Often recipes are really inefficient and sequenced wrong… Read the whole thing and find the “long pole” , and do that first… could be starting the oven preheat early, starting the rice cooker right away vs at step 6 or run things in parallel.
They come with a name from the shelter and they tell us we’re not allowed to change it (even though they did!) so we always just kept whatever the shelter picked
It doesn’t seem like it, RHEL is based on Fedora. Fedora is beta RHEL more or less. But Alma, Rocky and Scientific Linux will all be in trouble as they’re based on RHEL. Or at least that’s what I make of it
The last century of History has shown that the principle of “the greatest good for the greatest number” isn’t really compatible with the autocracy that tankies love some much and many are so painfully close to fascists (with but a different set of slogans) that they end up loving the likes of Putin.
That said, they seem to have their own instance, whose admins seem very very keen on the whole Centralized Control aspect of things (a very tankie approach to managing speech) so they’re cutting themselves off from the rest of the Fediverse which does sound absolutelly fine (I for one am happy with people having their own circle-jerk safe-space separate from the rest - if it makes them happy whilst not causing problems for the rest then it furthers the whole “the greatest good for the greatest number” thing, IMHO).
Clean as you go, don't just leave it all for the end. Onions are sauteing and you're done chopping everything? Good, wash your cutting board and knife and clean up any messes before the next step. Sausage is done browning and you're dumping it in with the onions for a minute with the garlic and some herbs? Great, wash that pan and spoon and set it down to dry and wipe up all the oil splashes.
Just makes clean up so much easier after you've eaten and you're much more efficiently using your time.
