AFKBRBChocolate, to foodporn in I made a charcuterie board

Looks great!

Just FYI, this really isn’t charcuterie though. Charcuterie is specifically about prepared meats. You can have other stuff on a charcuterie board, but normally just some things to compliment the meats.

On the other hand, so many people have been misusing the word for a while now that the definition is starting to accommodate arrangements like yours.

Yummy regardless of what it’s called.

I have never seen kumquats in the store. We have a small tree, so we get more than we need and I’m unlikely to buy any, but I’ve never seen them.

Also, is that typical of the way they look where you are? Ours look like these.

Somehow it makes the face look strangely human

AFKBRBChocolate, (edited ) to asklemmy in Why was Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan so bad for the American people?

There are quite a number of good articles on the subject if you want a thorough answer, but some of the main things are:

  • He’s responsible for a massive deregulation of financial institutions that were a precursor to the Wall Street issues that led to the giant government bailout.
  • He pushed “trickle down economics,” which is the theory that if you cut taxes on corporations and the wealthy, they’ll succeed more and create more jobs so that everyone wins. This is something conservatives always push and it’s always a horrible failure that results in a bigger and bigger income gap.
  • He funded his big tax cuts (mostly for the wealthy) by slashing federal assistance programs, including low income housing subsidies and mental health support, resulting in an unprecedented surge in homelessness that we’re still wrestling with today.
  • Nancy Reagan was the “Just say no to drugs” lady - the figurehead of the largely failed war on drugs which was like trying to prevent teen pregnancy with an abstinence only education program.

There’s a lot more, but those are some of the big ticket items.

And I said it was nice looking food. Thought you might be interested about the use of the word. Was anything that I said argumentative? Feel free to ignore.

Yours has the same definition as mine, and even links to the same page, but then says:

However, according to food historian Sarah Wassberg Johnson, charcuterie also has its roots in the simple meals that had been eaten by laborers of the working class throughout Europe since the medieval period, often consisting of meats, cheeses, bread, local produce, and wine or beer.

That’s one I’ve never seen, and the citation is the opinion of a single person without reference. If you Google the definition, you’re going to mostly find that it’s prepared meats, with some places saying the definition has evolved to include other stuff.

I came here to say I think it’s funny that in 1994 Larson drew the gun rights alien with a red baseball hat.

Or seems like if you’re using a red curry paste like this one, you could add enough for a mild version, but let them add more for spicier.

It wasn’t as much the color as the shape I was commenting on. OP’s looks like a ball, but I’ve only seen them oblong (I’ve heard that “quat” means something like “pear shaped”).

AFKBRBChocolate, to comicstrips in Phone no work

My thought has always been that it’s not that things like that can’t work in dreams, but dreams are mostly symbolic and you’re more likely to dream about using a phone or something if you have an issue with what it symbolizes. For instance, I personally often dream about trying to call or text my wife, but either the phone doesn’t work, I can’t see the screen, she can’t hear me, or something like that. My guess is that the dream is about my frustration when I can’t communicate well with my wife.

I’ve also had dreams where I was stuck or trapped in something and couldn’t get my phone to work, couldn’t make my voice work to yell, or anything like that, and I figure that it’s because I have real issues asking anyone else for help.

AFKBRBChocolate, to asklemmy in Edit: (What do you call this dish?)

Not sure it has a “correct” name. I grew up having it called “egg in a hole,” but depending on where you’re from there are different names. I know people who call it “egg in a nest.” Wikipedia says:

There are many names for the dish, including “bullseye eggs”, “eggs in a frame”, “egg in a hole”, “eggs in a nest”, “gashouse eggs”, “gashouse special”, “gasthaus eggs”, “hole in one”, “one-eyed Jack”, “one-eyed Pete”, “one-eyed Sam”, “pirate’s eye”, and “popeye”.[7][8][9][10] The name “toad in the hole” is sometimes used for this dish,[7] though that name more commonly refers to sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding batter.

AFKBRBChocolate, to lemmyshitpost in I dont understand why I have to bring a bottle to the restaurant

For a lot of sushi, the chefs will be disappointed in you even for putting soy sauce on it. They craft it to have a specific combination of flavors, and strong sauces just obliterate them.

AFKBRBChocolate, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in I dont understand why I have to bring a bottle to the restaurant

Sweet and sour sauce? No.

AFKBRBChocolate, to lemmyshitpost in Also, the doors actually open.

That would need one of those flame things out the back

AFKBRBChocolate, (edited ) to cooking in [Question] I'm short on time every week. What's the fastest/easiest way to meal prep a cracked egg for "mcmuffin" sandwiches for the week?

It wouldn’t be exactly the same, but you could consider making some soft boiled eggs, then shelling then and smooshing them on the McMuffin when you want to eat it. That way the egg stays in the shell and would have a longer shelf life, and you get that yummy, slightly runny yolk on the sandwich.

Note: you can reheat them by putting them in a glass of hot tap water for a few minutes.
