Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you're lucky.

  • Is it a Tesla?

  • I love a cheese toastie. I do mine in a cast iron skillet these days because one less specialist gadget in my cluttered kitchen is a good thing and because the clean up is easier.

    But seriously, post your cheese toastie recipe to !recipes@feddit.uk! It's not for gourmet meals, it's for recipes that people actually use and love. For e.g., here's mine for a Sausage, fried egg, and Reggae Reggae Sauce sarnie.

  • But I bet your cheese toastie game is on point!

  • I'm not entirely sure, a lot of it is instinctive. My weakness is baking because I'm mostly a 'measure by eye' kind of cook and baking requires more precision than that. I guess I also have quite a good ability to imagine flavor; if I can imagine how a combination of ingredients will taste then it'll usually be a pretty good meal even if I've never tried it before.

    Also, I enjoy cooking which helps a lot. I like playing with good ingredients, learning how they react to different cooking techniques and so on. And I love to entertain and watch people eat food I've prepared. Food is love!

    [Come on over to !recipes@feddit.uk and !cooking_with_fire@feddit.uk - both could do with more regulars!]

  • I’d heard of them but hadn’t ever heard any of their music before I lived in the US for a bit.

  • I'm a good enough cook that several friends have seriously suggested I apply for Masterchef, but I have no interest in the restaurant side of the competition.

  • Grateful DeadDave Matthews BandPhish

  • Hot water in the base chamber of the pot. Coffee in the funnel. Top chamber screwed on. Put on a high heat until the coffee is ready.

  • Report him to the police.

  • I’d still prefer dogs.

  • You need to do stuff with people. A lot of friendship is based on shared experience. Just meeting someone isn't enough, you need to do something with them. So, hobbies, classes, volunteer groups, etc.

  • Nature vs. Nurture is always a bit of column A and a bit of column B.

    But you haven’t provided enough information.

    What’s the government like other than being authoritarian? It’s possible to have a benevolent authoritarian government. Does it successfully provide food, shelter, and entertainment for the people? Imperial Rome was authoritarian but life for a Roman citizen was probably better than life for some of the ‘barbarians’ at the gates.

    How does the government react to challenges to its authority? Fair and proportionally or brutally?

    How do those around me, as I grow up, react to the government. Is it mostly fear and anger or contentment and acceptance?

  • They messed with Twin Peaks as well, insisting that Laura’s murder be solved earlier than Lynch was planning, and then of course cancelling the show leaving Lynch trying to reach some kind of conclusion.

    That first series though was sublime and perfect.

  • Pfft. ITT kids.

    Twin Peaks.

    Failing Twin Peaks, then Sapphire and Steel.

  • It is round my house. Come on in! Love the gas, Meg, love the gas.

  • Gladiator is good but give a listen to Mars from the Planet Suite by Holst.

  • I mean, if money's no object I'm sure some travel agent could put together a package deal to go to every race. That way you could experience the glitz of Monaco but also get to see some decent races.
