It’s not the best the US has to offer. It’s what the DNC will force-feed us, because they refuse to pass control to a new demographic.

Garlic Cheddar Herb Biscuits Suggested side: Beef Stew, Seafood Newburg, Chicken+Gravy Prep time: 10m Yield: 8-12 biscuits Ingredients

▢ 2 cups ap flour ▢ 1 tsp kosher salt ▢ 1 tbsp baking powder ▢ ½ tsp onion powder ▢ ½ tsp garlic powder ▢ ½ cup butter, cold, fine diced ▢ 1 cup buttermilk ▢ 2 tbsp fresh thyme ▢ 2 tbsp fresh parsley ▢ 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar

Mis En Place

▢ Silicone spatula ▢ ½ tsp measure ▢ 2 cup measure ▢ Large Mixing Bowl ▢ Whisk

Instructions Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a fork or masher, grind butter into the dry mix. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Small BB to pellet sized chunks are fine. Whisk diced herbs into the dry mix. Fold cheese and buttermilk into dough. Mix until ugly. Bake at 450 for 12-15m until golden brown.

IMO the thyme is really important. I usually buy fresh thyme for these.

Melting the butter will make more uniform biscuits. Leaving it chunked will give you more variation in size and rise. Otherwise, they should taste the same. Same concept with muffins. Ugly batter is preferable for this reason :)

Homemade Marinara Sauce

Suggested side: Angel Hair and Garlic Bread

Prep time: 10m

Yield: ~6 cups

Ingredients

▢ 2 Tsp Olive Oil

▢ 1 Yellow Onion, Diced

▢ 1 28 oz can crushedTomatoes

▢ 1 6 oz can Tomato Paste

▢ 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning

▢ ½ Tsp dried Basil

▢ 3 Cloves Garlic, Minced

▢ 1 Tsp Salt

▢ ¼ Tsp Pepper

▢ 2 Tsp Sugar

▢ 1 cup chicken stock

Mis En Place

▢ Silicone spatula

▢ ½ tsp measure

▢ 2 cup measure

▢ Saucepan

▢ Cutting board

▢ Chef Knife

▢ 1 Tbsp measure

▢ Can Opener

Instructions In a medium sized saucepan over medium high heat add the olive oil and onions. Sauté until tender. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, stock, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, pepper and sugar. Simmer for 15m or more stirring regularly to keep from burning, until flavors blend.

Notes: This recipe is for NY style savory marinara. For Sweet Cali, use 2 TBSP of sugar instead of 2 TSP. The longer your simmer, the better your flavors blend. If you prefer a more acidic sauce, save a small portion of crushed tomatoes to be added at the end of the simmer. You can sub veggie stock in place of chicken, if needed. For chicken riggies recipe or dipping sauce, use sweet mari.

Dough recipe not included - needs work

---

Roll dough out to a large square, using flour to keep it dry and from sticking.

Use a spoon to spread sauce over the whole surface, leaving a 1" strip dry around the edge (like making a pizza)

Cover the layer of sauce with pepperoni.

Spread shredded mozz over the same. Use just a hair less than you would for a pizza.

Spread a thin coat of grated parm over the same.

Spread a shake of Italian blend seasoning over the same.

Egg wash the edge around the dough, and fold in thirds or quarters to achieve a long, flat roll. Use a large grill spatula to help, or used a sheet of parchment underneath to assist with folding.

Transfer roll to parchment/baking sheet. Egg wash the entire visible outside, then dust with parm again. Poke with a fork every 3-5" to vent, so it doesn’t explode while cooking.

Bake at 350 until crust is golden brown, toppings are toasted, and dough is cooked.

Cool and slice. Eat hot, dip in the same mari sauce used in recipe.

Enjoy! This always flies off the table. It’s a family favorite.

You’ll love the sauce. My family can’t get enough of it. I make it in large batches and can it, now.

I’ll probably post the dough recipe once I refine the ratios. My Nan brought it over from Italy and I think she has it written down wrong. I’ll have to experiment a little :)

It’s Eggwash and Parm. It really ties the room together.

Pop Up Blockers.

It’s 2024 and popup ads are everywhere despite being legislated away in the early 00’s.

Fuck ads, and fuck pop up ads more.

Telegram added stories not too long ago and I feel the same way about that. It’s UI pollution we don’t want, and that we didn’t ask for, and that serves no real purpose.

Type 1 runs on bare metal. You install it directly onto server hardware. Type 2 is an application (not an OS) lives inside an OS, regardless of whether that OS is a guest or a host, the hypervisor is a guest of that platform, and the VMs inside it are guests of that hypervisor.

Yeah no kidding, paying for unraid?

TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) keeps getting better, for free. It does most of the same tricks that the big boy appliances do, but with your commodity hardware, at no cost.

And it does all this exceedingly well. AND if you want… you can buy support. At your discretion.

My understanding is that Google “rates” its leaders by the number and types of projects they develop. Ergo there are a lot of people working on disparate items that often overlap, because it’s “their” project. Once the project completes, they get their credit, stop caring, and move on to the next. It is said this is why google creates then kills so much. It’s by design, essentially. The products they keep are the ones that make the most ad revenue.

Hard disks, WD/HGST.

I’ve had good luck with EMC and NetApp for enterprise solutions, Synology for SMB class NAS storage, and rely on TrueNAS/ZFS on supermicro hardware at home, which has been rock solid for years and years.

Yes. That would be in the past, making it foreshadowing.

Their success with apple maps / navigation foreshadowed this event. They couldn’t even figure that out.

THC / actives are oil based. If you are making tea, add a bit of creamer or something for those oils to adhere to. Water won’t extract or carry them very well. You need something with the water to dissolve and carry the actives.
