Sorry for the delay.

There were a lot tbh. It ends up being almost a different dish.

He usually scaled things down for a smaller batch, but for big gatherings, he would do the full recipe with his tweaks.

First of the option of using ground beef rather than dried. For a long time, you couldn’t get dried beef other than jerky (which is usually spiced), so he defaulted to ground chuck or sirloin.

Next, the milk gets switched for cream. However, in big batches, he would use 1/4 cream, and the rest milk. If using cream only, halve or even quarter the flour. Cream thickens enough by itself imo, so I tend to skip the flour when I do it with cream only.

He added mushrooms, typically canned. Now, you wouldn’t think canned mushrooms would be better than fresh, and I’d normally agree. But for this, it actually works better. He’d do one can per pound of beef. I’ve done it with fresh mushrooms, but unless you use something like Portobello, where you get a ton of flavor added compared to the typical button mushrooms, it isn’t worth it.

Add the pepper during browning.

Once the beef is browned, he’d do a generous splash of Worcestershire per pound. Not crazy, just a splash splash.

Once that’s done, the dairy gets added and mixed through.

Then he’d do maybe a pinch or two of nutmeg per pound of beef, then a shot of dry vermouth per pound.

It thickens up really quick, but if you drop the temp as soon as the dairy goes in, and let it simmer a little longer, maybe fifteen to twenty, all the flavors get a bit more intense since the nutmeg, vermouth and worcestershire sauce get more time to open up and spread out. But you have to watch because if it gets too thick, it’s not as easy to eat.

While he did toast sometimes, it was usually toasted English muffins. Everyone preferred the muffins unless it was sourdough bread though.

When I do it, I make my own English muffins, and I do them sourdough. It’s an extra day of work, but I had the chance to do it like that for him before he died, and he said he wished he’d thought of that. From him, that was high praise. He did sourdough baking, but stayed to a handful of things, and never tried those.

There’s a caveat, though. You really can’t scale down past a full pound of beef, or it doesn’t work right. I’ve tried, and he had tried, to get it small enough for two or three servings, but it’s a matter of the liquids not thickening right. It either stays too runny until it’s over cooked, or it’s like glue.

Btw, the unofficial name for it in the Navy when he served was SOS, standing for shit on a shingle. And if you’ve ever had it, you know why it’s called that lol. It looks like something you’d flush. But that flavor and texture is so damn good!

It is :)

Pfft, everyone knows that

Yah, and they don’t bother to make the distinction, sadly

Yah, if it gets handled, you won’t see it usually. You have to go looking. I’d have to Dick around on the web version to find the handled issues (no need on my part, so I don’t use it enough to remember), but it is there somewhere.

Eh, I don’t at flatpak or snap unless I have no other choice, but i get why it would be annoying to have the delay.

That being said, I wouldn’t be concerned until almost a month. It’s a big update that’s going to need more debugging than usual. Makes sense to hold back for a bit.

Yeah, it definitely needs the bass to work right.

That being said, it was still kinda disappointing. Like, anyone could have done that. If she’s going to do the work, it would be nice to have it really be her rather than what amounts to a generic sample, you feel me?

I like it as what it is, a dance track. But I was hoping she would come out with something a bit more real tbh.

Ook!

:)

Ook?

Are the two people in the picture siblings?

This is why I give free shooting lessons to anyone even remotely close to the lgbtq+ community

I’ve been known to provide the ammo when the person doesn’t know what to use.

I dunno how to tell you this without it seeming snarky, so I’m going to say it snarky, but apologize before I do. Sorry for the snark, it’s just my inability to do better.

But, welcome to the internet. This is where 98% is noise to begin with.

S’alright. You’re the man, the dude

It hurts my brain

Move the king, then work with the knight and pawns. Hopefully get white queen out and pick off the black bishop to free things up a bit.

I suck at chess though

Wait, I can be associated with carebear porn? SIGN ME UP!

You misunderstand what lemmy is and how it works.

There is no single lemmy site. Lemmy is code that can be run by anyone with the patience to do so.

Everyone that does so has what is called an instance. The instance you are using is called lemmy.world. The instance I am using is sh.itjust.works. Our instances can talk to each other freely (unless the person running it decides otherwise), but are not the same “site”.

This is called federation. A whole bunch of sites using the same software to talk to each other.

In your case, when you can’t access lemmy at all, it means that the lemmy.world instance is having problems.

I can’t say anything definite about the communication your instance has with its users. However, lemmy world is one of the bigger instances, and that brings hassles with up time.

But, since there’s only a small handful of people running the server, chances are that when there’s immediate trouble, they are busy fixing the problem, and wouldn’t step away from that just to say they’re busy fixing it. Doesn’t make sense to do so tbh.

This is why having multiple instances is a good thing. Lemmy can only go down if every server goes down. This is unlikely to happen randomly. Your best bet is to have multiple accounts on different instances. This means you can freely switch between them when there are outages.

I, too, am now struttin’
