Even if it can be good sometimes it isn't worth it if that's how you feel other times. First step is talking to partner about how you feel, to see if they are commited to making changes to the relationship to help suit what you need. But if they don't want to, then its probably the wrong relationship for you

That's interesting, is it because Fedora has more recent packages

Last week I was feeding the local crows peanuts (in the shell).

The crows wait for me outside at dog walking time, and follow us on our walk.

When dishing out peanuts I noticed one crow take one and fly to a grassy spot, dig a hole with its beak and drop the peanut in. It then plucked nearby moss and stuffed it into the hole on top. And stomped it flat. Then came back wanting another peanut.

I didn't realized crows did food caching like squirrels.

Dynamic pricing is not legal in Canada, but what our Real Canadian Super Store does on some items is set the price super high, then every day you go in it is a different "sale" price. On a specific soymilk the price ranges from 3.50 to 9.00.

Yeah, I'm sure there are segments that only use server stuff instead of workstations. I'm on the other end I only deal with desktop, as we have IT for server Stuff

Well he also said "Our prices are rising because of Putin’s actions,” “There isn’t enough supply. And the bottom line is if we want lower gas prices we need to have more oil supply right now.”

So still could be read either way of: support the oil war efforts or this is how fairmarket works

The slow load time after restarting was the icing on the cake

Hmm, I must have missed that, or forgot all about it existing

Yeah you no guide as to if you were good to dock or not. Frustrating

It may not be home user choice, but in enterprise CAD PLM it is. Out of all the Desktop Distros, only SUSE and RHEL were supported so you had to pick one.

 

My wife was sick today and she finds that spicy food seem to help her feel better.

So South Asian lentil base Sambar soup for dinner, but I added some leaks, ginger, peas and orzo to give it some heartiness.

Very hot, since a big part of the base is ground chilly powders.

 

Spicy corn dish as a snack. Normally you garnish with some coconut and eat with Roti, but corn tacos work too.

 

Tonight is a Spicy Thai Eggplant-Tofu Stirfry.

 

My wife ate too much risotto yesterday, and some for breakfast, so its a quick stir fry just for me tonight.

 

Tonight's dinner for two is Mushroom Risotto. Normally risotto asks for white wine and chicken broth. For the base I sauteed onions and carrots in some juice from Majlis green olives (it has like a vermouth flavour to it) with a few fennel seeds and some sage and rosemary, mushroom salt, pepper and some lemon.

Tonight we were running out of veg, so a simple Broccoli and "Beef" teriyaki.

Beef was from dried Soya Wadi from an Indian grocer. They are a dried and defatted soya product. Simmered those in a combo of spices and soy sauce and Marmite mixture.

Teriyaki sauce was: 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 table spoons of brown sugar, some ginger and garlic. Warm it up then add a 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to a 1/4 cup of cold water and once mixed, dump into pot and simmer about 5-8 minutes till it thickens.

 

Crispy Tofu tonight with some stirfried veg in a sweet chilli sauce, and some flat rice noodles.

Today, as an old guy, I was cleaning our glass top stove. The Weiman cleaner is in the cupboard above the stove. I squirted a bunch on the dirty rings and then realized its normally white not blue paste.

Turns out I grabbed the Cascade Complete dishwasher liquid. Duh.

I started to wipe it and realized it was pulling off the baked on food better than the stove cleaning product.

Best it has looked in 5 years.

P.s. made sure to fully rinse all of it off so no residue remained.

 

My wife liked the Polynesian sauce she had as a kid. So I reduced black cherries and pineapple down into a thick sauce, and a bit of ketchup and Catalina dressing to give it that zing she remembered. Poured that over some veggie chicken tvp product, and various stirfried veggies.

She loves the sauce so my plate (shown) has very little.

 

Still working on getting my tawa seasoned and batter consistency sorted out. But making dosa batter from scratch with cumin seeds, chopped chillies, ginger, curry leaves, and cilantro, is so delicious compared to the boxed mix. (And if I can say so, better than some dosa places I have eaten at)

 

Pot of bean and tvp chilli, and some slices of homemade bread. A good sharp breadknife makes life so much easier.

Baba Ganoush (lemmy.ca)

Baba Ganoush is very low effort if you have a food processor.

Slice a large eggplant in half and place face down in a glass pan.
Add a tablespoon or two of oil. Sprinkle various spices on top.

  • garlic powder
  • paprika
  • red chilli powder
  • salt and pepper

Cover dish and bake for an hour at 350°F. (Edit wrong letter before oops C and F make a difference LOL) Skin should be a bit blackened and shriveled. At this point you can leave it in the oven with heat off to let it further roast and cool down.

Take out, let it cool, and uncover when ready to start.

Pick up the halves the inner will be super soft and ready to slide right out of the skin with the help of a spoon. Scoup it all into the food processor. A little skin going in is fine. Adds flavour.

If there is juice in the dish you can pour that in too, or add a tiny amount of water to the dish to pull some of the spice mix out and add to processor.

Add 2 fresh cloves of garlic, a half a pealed lemon, a table spoon of oil.

Toast a layer of sesame seeds in a six or nine inch skillet (lightly oiled). And add those to the processor. You can buy tahini if you don't want to deal with toasting seeds.

Blend it till garlic and seeds are smoothed into the paste. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This makes a ganoush with deep flavour, it won't be like the pale white looking ganoush you see at some stores.
