An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

We are out of normal breakfast foods, so I had to improvise.

Last tablespoon of bacon grease Stick of butter 3/4 cup of flour Salt Pepper Fennel seeds Thyme Basil

Not sure if the kids will eat it on toast, but I thought it was pretty good.

The fennel seeds came off a bit strong.

When I was a kid my favorite breakfast was sliced bread toasted in a pan greased with butter. Bacon grease would have been amazing. With a side of fruit and whatever leftover meat was available, that would make an amazing breakfast.

You can always try it now!

Yeah I still make toast but not toasted with butter lel that was pretty unhealthy but my grandmother would make it for me when I visited.

I wouldn't make it every time either, but it sounds nice. Reminds me of grilled cheese sandwiches. I have also made garlic bread that way with buttered sliced bread, garlic, and Italian seasoning.

OMFG GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES those were the best. Years later I found a restaurant that made a great Welsh Rarebit and it was an interesting variation, unfortunately they later changed the recipe.

I had to look it up. I could make a cheddar bechamel with lager, a bit of mustard, paprika, Worcestershire sauce. Not sure what else.. I could put it on Texas toast.

Wait, this is for kids? It's always a little dicey cooking with alcohol for kids. I was once making vermicelli with onions and peas for friends when I realized I should have asked them if it was OK to serve their kids a sauce that was flavored with white wine.

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My kids are big, but I was sure that cooking removed most of the alcohol. I just checked, and it looks like the sauce would be about 2% alcoholic.

I could get some non alcoholic beer. I'm looking for taste and not booze.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah I also heard that cooking removed most of the alcohol, but some religions are strictly against consuming any amount of alcohol. Luckily my friends weren't that strict.

Wow, that could have been a fiasco. Glad your friends were accommodating.

Gravy on toast is OK, any time off the day.

The south would like to talk to you about our Lord and savior, biscuits and gravy.

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well, so, we were out of sausage and I didn't feel like scratch biscuits.

Two kids ate it. Third preferred to stick with bagels.
