Since you aren’t vegetarian, may I recommend trying a ‘Reuben’ pizza (or stromboli)?
Instead of pizza sauce, use Russian dressing. Top with sauerkraut and chopped up corned beef and finish with shredded swiss cheese (use a good swiss and shred yourself for best results). You might optionally add onion before baking or dill pickles afterwards.
hmmm… my dough is still rising, but it has a bread-flour base that might make for tough rolls… though perhaps I can amend the dough to be fluffier before the final rise.
Yes! I LOVE veggie crumbles. I use them in spaghetti sauce, chili, tacos, enchiladas, and most everything else that calls for ground hamburger – especially when in a sauce.
My bigger issue is how to construct a ‘thing’ that works with dough. Maybe something like a ‘cheese steak’ stromboli would work.
Well, don’t leave us hanging! Which bags lasted 10 years? Where do we get them? I’m having a hard time because the only really good bags I have require a minimum purchase of 50 (these: https://enviro-tote.com/product/medium-grocery-tote-bag/).
That is so pretty!
Yes. The story here is straight from Associated Press, but I looked around and found a few more details in a Telegraph article:
But he woman’s doctor told police that the defendant had tested positive with a rapid test before telling him that she “certainly won’t let herself be locked up” after the result.
Instead she left her apartment and talked to people without a mask, ignoring her mandatory quarantine and positive test.
Note they say MANDATORY quarantine. At the end of the article they explain that Austria’s far right party, Freedom Party, is hyper-anti-vax, expected to win upcoming elections:
Its manifesto has promised a pardon for anyone convicted of breaching coronavirus rules and to repay any fines imposed during the pandemic.
The manifesto says coronavirus regulations were encroachments on fundamental rights “accompanied by unprecedented indoctrination and brainwashing.”
This is the 37th time they’ve had to use this headline. I’m not sure if the repetition makes me more sad, or angry, or if it is now simply becoming numbing. Thirty-Seven. :-(
making bean burgers
Oh no! Just buy them! My better half is vegetarian, which means I started mostly cook meat-free because it is easier than making two meals, but now I’m just in the habit of not eating much meat. Our bean-burger experiments were never worth effort. We use fake-beef veggie crumbles for casserole-type recipes and big frozen packs of Beyond Burgers (Impossible is also good) if we want an actual burger. For chicken, we’ll buy some unbreaded seitan/TVP substitutes, like these examples.
I have the same problem with egg substitutes, so we’re still eating eggs – but from happy-seeming chickens we can visit. The hard part for me is cheese. I’m waiting for lab-grown cheese, but for now I can’t match the flavors of actual cheese.
Reminds me of the incident in February where a waymo tried to get through a bunch of street revelers, and their response was to set it on fire. From the old pcmag story :
San Francisco Fire Chief Jeanine Nicholson noted that it had tallied 55 incidents where self-driving vehicles had interfered with rescue operations in the city.
Edit: unrelated to above quote, pc mag also says:
In some cases, residents have put orange cones on the hoods of cars, which makes them temporarily immobile.
(see also the autopian story it references)
Reminder that Palantir is the same company whose bosses are deep in bed with AmericaPAC – which got big write-ups (link is to one comment, but you can read more there and lots of places) because Elon Musk is gathering voter data seemingly for that PAC to target swing state voters with canvassing efforts.
I knew about the police getting access, but I missed that home insurance companies were checking properties with drones. I guess I don’t mind them spending their own money to send their own drones to verify properties they insure, but I agree that using MY camera that I bought to get info or sell MY data is at least unethical and ought to be illegal. It should be required that they get my explicit consent to that sort of thing for each instance of data collection or sale.
Who? The Senators? I think they’re genuinely interested in stopping the practice (obviously it also gets them good press, possibly even votes, but they coulda probably got cash if they did nothing).
I think the car companies are just trying to make money anywhere they can.
IMO, all voting should be on paper so that a hand recount can be done if the machines are questioned.
Myst can be a bit esoteric, especially the older versions.
Did they rewrite it in later ports? Also curious as to where you stand on Zork.
That particular exit poll APnews was reporting on was just for one polling place, so it doesn’t mean much, but yes, it was an opposition campaigner.
That said, we shouldn’t have to speculate. All the votes should be available for review – at least for voting centers where the results are in dispute.
On the other hand, we’ve been seeing that ‘big money’ wants the opposition to win because Maria Machado (the opposition leader who was kept off the ballot) “—derided by the Chavista leadership for her pro-market views and her upper-class background” —has promised pro-business changes.
Yeah, not only did they prevent the actual opposition leader from running, they’ve really made the vote count look suspicious. From APnews :
The official results came as a shock to opposition members who had celebrated, online and outside a few voting centers, what they believed was a landslide victory for González.
“I’m so happy,” said Merling Fernández, a 31-year-old bank employee, as a representative for the opposition campaign walked out of one voting center in a working class neighborhood of Caracas to announce results showing González more than doubled Maduro’s vote count. Dozens standing nearby erupted in an impromptu rendition of the national anthem.
Authorities delayed releasing the results from each of the 30,000 polling booths nationwide, promising only to do so in the “coming hours,” hampering attempts to verify the results.
After finally claiming to have won, Maduro accused unidentified foreign enemies of trying to hack the voting system.
I can’t argue with you on that.
In this particular case, Reuters seems to be pushing the narrative that there’s a Border Crisis.
The dominant players in the illicit opioid trade – the Mexican cartels that manufacture most of the drugs and smuggle them into America– have been the subject of detailed reporting over the years. Now, as the first news organization to buy and test fentanyl’s essential ingredients, Reuters has penetrated the hidden sub-industry that makes the cartel operations possible: the international supply chain of precursor chemicals.
For comparison the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports:
Nearly three-fourths of those caught attempting to smuggle fentanyl into the U.S. since October 2022 were U.S. citizens, and they brought in more than half of all fentanyl seized by U.S. authorities, the officials said.
fair enough :-)
