[Discussion] Do you have soulslike "fatigue"? in c/soulslike@lemmy.zip
[โ€“] newtraditionalists@beehaw.org 4 points 5 hours ago

Definitely no personal fatigue. It's a genre I dont feel moved by in the slightest. I will say there is a bit of observer fatigue, in the sense that the obsession with the genre is annoying and distracting. Wading through all the discussion is cumbersome and the weird "bro-ness" of it all (for lack of a better phrase) is super silly. It feels incredibly youthful, and I mean that to say inexperienced adult-aged children trying to prove how cool they think they are, is super off putting. But it's by no means something the genre owns or is responsible for. Just a symptom of the larger issue of insecure people latching onto things. And I dont think there is a solution as long as 20 year olds exist lol but no, I dont feel pressure to play anything regardless of genre or popularity. That only mattered when I was 12.

Mentally I am here. One more week until daylight saving ! I am so over this cold weather ๐Ÿ˜ญ (by Tee On) in c/imaginary@reddthat.com

Daylight savings has literally nothing to do with weather. This is making dumb people less intelligent. if it were funny or insightful then an argument could be had regarding whether it's worth it or not. It's neither. In short, go away.

If you want them to carmelize and begin to break down, add them before any liquid. If you want them fresh and crispy, add them off the heat at the very end or even as garnish.

How to make a sourdough focaccia pizza!! in c/food@beehaw.org
[โ€“] newtraditionalists@beehaw.org 1 points 1 week ago

Sourdough pizza is so tasty. If anyone gives it a try I suggest starting with minimum toppings at first. That way the dough can really play a role in the flavor profile. A light tomato sauce and just a bit of mozz are all you need.

one of my favorite things ever is the badass heavy metal drum fill that punctuates the end of the Golden Girls theme song. (www.beehaw.org)
 

Go give it a listen. It's this adorable little composition, and whoever the studio drummer was just went "fuck this being a friend shit I'm going to give these fuckers a god. damn. ending." And that he did. It seems like a super simple snare fill kind of moment but nope lol. Every time I hear it I just explode with joy.

Anybody care to share examples of this type of joy you experience in your life? Random little moments that might not get talked about a lot, but are a mainstay in your lived experience?

What are you cooking up for Memorial Day? (www.beehaw.org)
 

Another food based holiday is around the corner, what are your plans? Any interesting departures? Anybody got family traditional foods they eat?

I'll be doing an Artichoke Fondue Dip as a snack for earlier in the day. For the main meal, definitely this Mustrad Cucumber Salad by Amy Thielan that I adore as a side, but not totally certain what else. I may end up just doing hot dogs since they are so easy and always tasty. But I am also looking for inspiration.

The entire state of Illinois is going to be crawling with cicadas (arstechnica.com)
 

So interesting to learn about the ecological impact of cicadas. Imagine being a bird right now in Illinois. They don't even know how good they're gonna eat this summer. I'm happy for them lol

Thanks in advance!

Let's talk Thanksgiving! (www.beehaw.org)
 

One of the biggest food holidays is just around the corner. Let's chat about it!

What does your spread include? Any cool family favorite dishes? Any interesting spins on an old favorite you want to share? Trying anything new this time? I especially love hearing about the quirks of each families traditional spread.

For me, something interesting I am going to include on the table this year is Charleston Red Rice. I was looking for an interesting and unexpected side that didn't stray too far from the flavor profile of a traditional meal. Also, wanted to include a grain based dish as my family never does lol. And it's a dish I know for certain a few people attending will love. Also, a funny thing about my thanksgiving history...I didn't have green bean casserole until I was in my mid-20s. No one in my family liked it, so it was never included lol.

So what's going on with you and your Thanksgiving feast this year?

Give me your favorite Halloween meals! (beehaw.org)
 

So I know Halloween isn't a day with a huge meal tradition like xmas or tday, but I'm having some dear friends stay with me that weekend and I would love to cook up something Halloweeny. So I'm curious, do any of you have any go-to meals/dishes for Halloween? No real requirements here, it can be outright spooky/gross or just autumn themed, and anything in between. Looking mostly for savory ideas, as the treats will be flowing already. I did the pinterest thing but love sourcing from communities like this. Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ideas!!

Favorite uses for cucumbers (beehaw.org)
 

Just inherited a bunch of cucumbers from a friend's garden. I love them just on their own with some salt, and have made many a salad using them. I'm curious what kinds of fun things you all may use them for. Even if you feel like it's basic please share as I will be eating cucumbers for the next several days straight lol. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

The ingredient that changed your life (www.beehaw.org)
 

Tell me about that one ingredient, that when discovered, it opened your mind to a whole new world of flavor possibilities!

For me, the first to come to mind is Worcestershire sauce. I'm talking about way back in my youth. It was my first introduction to what we now call umami. When I noticed my mom put it in her meatloaf I began experimenting. At the time I was just blown away by how much it changed things. I even used to put it in my Top Ramen I was so obsessed lol. More recently, dukkah. Trader Joe's is correct when they say to take bread, dip it in olive oil, and then dukkah. So tasty!!

What about you?

What are your favorite "it's Sunday and I have no plans" recipes? (beehaw.org)
 

I love to take an open Sunday and fill it with cooking. Anybody else? Got any fav all day dishes?

I recently got into making pastys but my waist line is asking me to stop lol. But I do enjoy the time to make the filling, making the crust, letting it rest, making the pies, and baking off. Such a delicious result too. And they freeze wonderfully! Anyone looking for a recipe I would recommend Amy Thielan's. She is so fantastic and her rutabaga pastys are delicious and kind of unusual too.

Anybody got any dishes to share?
