There’s no mystery here. Speech is uttered by bodies. Inhale, exhale, pressure starts high then drops. Muscles tense then release. A thousand muscles in complex patterns working together limits and shapes sound. That is the basis for underlying “rules”.
TICK tock. Your mouth tenses for the first, relaxes in the second.
Wasn’t there a DOS version later? Or maybe I’m confusing it with a similar game? I remember playing to death a game like this on DOS a long time ago but I completely forgot how it was called.
Depending on where you’re from you may be picturing entirely the wrong things for biscuits and gravy. The biscuits are soft, flaky, buttery pastries and the gravy is a white sausage gravy made from flour, milk, and ground sausage. If you look up “biscuits and gravy” the pictures will show you what it looks like. It’s a common breakfast from the US south, although it exists in all parts of the US.
It’s a staple southern American Southern US breakfast dish. Drop biscuits (similar to buttermilk biscuits, but it’d denser and fluffier. No layers either), covered with sausage gravy. If you’re not from the US/North America I’m not sure if there’s an equivalent to breakfast sausage. I hope so! Because if you have the time to make some I would really recommend it!
Couple of tips for anyone looking to make some biscuits and gravy:
Use shortening in your biscuits, idk what it does different but it works best imo.
If you’re going to use biscuit mix, use Formula L if you can find it. It’s the best. Good for pancakes too!
Let your roux get a some color before adding the milk. Pale sausage gravy doesn’t taste nearly as good. Just use low heat and keep the sausage and flour mixture moving to ensure you don’t burn it.
Use full fat milk for better flavor.
After you add the milk and it warms back up, throw 4 or 5 chopped up fresh sage leaves into your gravy. Sage, fennel, and pepper are a big part of the flavor profile of American breakfast sausage, adding a little extra really helps the flavor pop!
And finally, let the gravy get thick! Watery gravy should be illegal
For vegetarians: beyond sausage works great if you want to try it! It browns quicker than regular sausage though, so keep an eye on it. And you might need to add a little extra fat, butter or margarine works well.
Non-southerners beware, flour that grows well at higher latitudes is “harder”, i.e. has more gluten, while wheat from the south is “softer” / less gluten. You may need a softer flour to make really great southern-style biscuits, and that can be tough to come by outside the south.
This is all great advice, but I would add to that biscuits and gravy is terrible if there is no black pepper in it. It's definitely a required ingredient. Sage and others are optional, but pepper is a must.
And don't skimp on the sausage. The number one mistake that restaurants make is skimping on the sausage. It shouldn't taste like milk.
The number two mistake that restaurants make is trying to make it fancy and adding too much random stuff to it. You don't need to add bacon and green onions and cheese and on and on. It's not grits. It's delicious on its own as a nice, simple recipe.
Reddit still works for me on infinity for reddit. I’m here about 95% of the time. That site is now very dull and boring. Lemmy has gotten so much better. Just waiting for the apps to be feature complete.
Same here, boost has been working the whole time, think it only went down this morning which is fine because I feel disgusted with myself Everytime I check my account. They’ve removed most of the mods that protested and actually gave somewhat of a shit and replaced them with people that don’t care about any of that and just wanted to mod. Spez might have had to take the protests a teeny bit more seriously if he didn’t have these new spineless mods to replace the old ones which is proven by the fact that he forcibly removed so many in the first place. So I feel icky when viewing any of those subs. Also yeah, he fucked over so many handicapped users removing their preferred 3pa. I know, “but accessibility features are excluded now” - but those that already had their acc. And preferred 3pa set up the way they like it will now have to figure that out which imo would be hard while blind…
Anyway I can’t wait for Boost to come here, that’s always been my preferred 3pa and if he’d hurry up and port it to Lemmy I’d feel complete again
Wow, im sorry you have to deal with this. I finally got the point across to my ex a few months ago and it was like 2 years at that point, and i also moved to the other side of Canada for work in this span. It wasnt this bad, but consistent.
