  • Thanks for updating with that you found. Subz is exactly what I was looking for.

  • Not exactly an App but I really enjoy the functionality that Samsung Dex brings.

    It allows you to plug your phone into a desktop, monitor or lapdock (screen, keyboard/trackpad + battery) and give you a desktop like experience for when you need it. Plus each time you upgrade your phone you also get an upgrade to your laptop/desktop.

    It does indeed have a bit of jank to it, but the functionality you gain is well worth it at least for me.

  • Tyvm for posting this, it was super informative and I feel like I can use a lot of the strats discussed.

    Egg fried rice! 🍚

    No, an egg did not in fact fry this rice. Because it's an egg.

    Recipe with various methods

    For such a simple dish there's a decent bit of technique and timing involved to execute it 'well'. The main things being:

    • not to overload the pan
    • cook your add-ins in individual batches.
    • have everything prepped before you start
    • use day old rice or make sure to dry the rice really well before hand
    • do not go too crazy with the amount of add-ins
    • use a wok if you can

    This can be made on a normal western electric stove but it requires a bit more finesse and waiting for the pan to recover its heat before moving onto the next step as we don't have a 15k BTU jet burner. I've personally just moved to making this on a little cheap portable gas stove because it allows for better control over the temp and also so I don't have to worry about smoking out the house.

    While there is a certain dogma online about what fried rice is and isn't. It

    Carnitas Tacos w/ pickled red onions and Jalapeno Crema

    Carnitas Recipe

    Crema recipe Used this is as base and then added powdered jalapeno

    Pickled red onions I like reducing the amount of vinegar and adding in some lime juice for these

    This is great for a group meal or freezing the pulled pork before the crisping step!

    Have a nice day <3

    Tori Paitan Ramen 🍜

    For those unfamiliar with Tori Paitan ramen it's the brother of tonkotsu ramen just subbing in chicken instead of pork when making the broth!

    This is defiantly a weekend only meal unless you've broken up the prep across the week. There are some shortcuts used to help reduce time and make it more feasible for a home cook to do, such as using a pressure cooker to reduce overall cooking time for the stock base or utilizing sous vide to handle the Chashu pork. Included are the recipes I used and any deviations I made. Also I will warn you, if you do not commonly cook Japanese dishes you will need to find a lot of uncommon ingredients (Mainly for the Tare and aroma oil) But after that you will have a very nicely stocked pantry for other dishes!

    Making this while tedious really made me appreciate good ramen shops.

    • Soup Base - While this portion of the recipe calls for the leftovers of another recipe, I opted to just use the fresh ing
  • Thanks for the heads up. I run FF on all my mobile devices so it will be nice to have access to all the addons.

  • Omg it's so pretty, great job!

    Soft scrambled eggs with feta and dill on toast

    One of my favorite quick meals! For anyone struggling to nail scrambled eggs I'd give this article a read! Have a nice day <3

  • My god yes they do. Bidets should be more common in the US.

  • Yeah! walking to our local park/lake and seeing all the ducks, birds and people really helps destress after a long day. Maybe touching grass truly is the answer.

  • Yeah I looked at photo prism and felt odd at how many features I'd consider core were gated behind the paywall.

  • Same, love how much you can change the widget and get exactly the info you want.

  • I'm just glad that this entire thing has really made me re evaluate my relationship with social media and communities as a whole. Personally I'd rather have a smaller community with a bunch of nerds then another content hose. So thanks bee haw.
