I saw a video once, so I'm pretty much an expert in it.

It would be interesting if the answer to the Fermi paradox was that every advanced lifeform accidentally blows themselves up.

I'm a big fan of Belgian style doubles, tripels and quads, which Quebec has quite a few brewers that make.

For macros, I like the Unibroue ones well enough, so Maudite and La Fin du Monde are a double and triple respectively.

For smaller brewers Les Trois Mousquetaires has a very nice Baltic Porter and Imperial Stout. Dieu du Ciel also has some nice stuff. They've actually had their imperial stout (Péché Mortel) in LCBO for a while already. Not sure how that works.

La Vache Folle make a really nice double IPA. I recall liking stuff by Le Castor Brewing Co too.

It's honestly been a while since we've had many QC beers, so I've probably forgotten quite a few.

Could we get more Quebec beers back at LCBO please? That'd be a good start. Give me my Maudite and Fin back. >:(

When I'm in the mood for plain-ish tofu, I like to pan fry it with a bit of salt and sesame oil:

One of the my favourite things about tofu is how versatile it is!

  1. I finally played The Last of Us. It's maybe not the most vegan friendly game since it has a couple of hunting scenes in it, but I guess it gets the "desert island" pass, as agriculture pretty much ceases completely during the zombie apocalypse.

Otherwise, it was quite a good story. Maybe a bit predictable at times, but well executed enough to more than make up for it. The characters are interesting, and the pacing is fantastic. It has solidly enjoyable stealth mechanics, although the enemy AI is unrealistically oblivious at times, making it a bit easier than it probably should've been in places.

One thing I really liked was that the mild "horror" elements really aimed at tension, instead of any jump scares. The scary bits are well telegraphed so you're not particularly surprised when they come.

  1. I used to buy and cook tofu when I was still in university long before I went vegan. I always liked trying different cultures' foods, and especially east-asian stuff, so I had a couple of tofu dishes in my standard repertoire. I can't say I remember when I first tried it, though.

I did discover tofu scrambles after I went vegan, though. Maybe 2 years in? Now it's one of my favourite breakfasts to have on some toast with some diced green onion. Yum.

This reminds me of the behaviour in young siblings where one will initiate, and when the anticipated response comes, they launch in to "Mom, they're touching me!"

You clearly do want to argue, you just don't want to be argued back with. Either that, or you're just trying to provoke a response.

Maybe there's more context here that I'm missing, but from what I can see...

YDI/BPR

If you don't want to argue, stop typing or block them. Real childish pot stirring behaviour going on there. You can't try and get the last word in by saying "don't respond to my criticism."

I think I was thinking of plebchan. From what I can tell, it's based off plebbit, which looks to be the same stack that seedit uses.

IIRC, someone was talking about their p2p text only 4chan clone recently. I forget what it was called though.

Edit: found it.

The popo using cybertrucks would really be the cherry on the techno-feudalist hellscape cake.

Whoa there... We eat mold too if they're the right type and on the right things.

I don't normally deep fry food because it's annoying, uses a lot of oil, and not very healthy, but I somehow ended up with 2 lbs of oyster mushrooms and needed something else to do with them. Holy cow was it worth it.

Found the recipe here.

I was going to make pizza on Friday, but I messed up when stretching my dough, and it seized up, so I had to rest it and re-rise, and so change of plans!

I had left over curry and just made the tofu cutlets by shallow frying in a small pan to minimize oil usage.

As always, any questions or feedback welcome, and happy to provide recipes if anyone wants them! ^_^

Za #4, Pepperoni Pizza (sh.itjust.works)

I happened across some store bought vegan pepperoni, and decided I'd do one of the most simple pizzas in existance: the NY style pepperoni pizza. It totally wasn't because I was lazy and it takes like almost zero effort.

My dough caught on the peel as I was shimmying it on to the griddle, so I kinda got this weird teardrop-shaped pizza. Oh well. (:

There's really just something very comforting about a basic-ass slice like this. It's not fancy or pretentious, just delicious.

So I've decided to make pizza every Friday this summer. This is #3, but I declined to post the first two because they contained a slightly controversial brand plant based meat substitute.

This one has vegan blue cheese, caramelized onions, button mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, balsamic reduction and pear slices. I meant to add a bit of arugula, but I forgot. A little fresh basil probably would have been good too.

Oh yeah, I was going to have it last night (y'know, on Friday like I said) but some stuff came up so I had to delay a night.

Feel free to ask for any recipes or whatever! I generally follow Adam Ragusa's NY style pizza recipe, but he's not vegan so if you don't want to give him additional traffic, I can probably answer any questions you might have.

If you have any suggestions for my next pizza, I'd love to hear it! ^^

 
 

I've been learning to cook all sorts of Indian recipes lately. The samosa are store bought, cuz who has time for that. Everything else is made from scratch. I'll probably get around to makeing my own samosas too, some day.

Will post recipes if anyone is interested. ^^

NY-ish style pizza (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Enkers to c/[email protected]
 

A riff on the classic NY style pizza. Obviously with all the extra toppings, and a cheddar style "cheese", it's not in any way accurate, but it's what I happened to have on hand.

Dough & Sauce:

  • Adam Ragusea's NY Style Pizza v2 [Content Warning: recipe is not fully vegan. It contains cow milk.]

"Cheese":

  • Smoked cheddar style vegan grating block

Toppings:

  • Red onion, mushroom, vegan sausage, fresh basil
