I have used both as Ubuntu flavours when I needed a lighter desktop on older hardware. XFCE was absolutely solid, worked and brought new life to the hardware. But, I wanted just a little more pizazz so, I moved to Mate. It was just as quick, felt a bit more modern but it wasn't as rock solid as XFCE. XFCE is perfect for stability. Mate is more modern but younger so maybe not as solid. It's been a while since I took either out for a spin though. Time to fire up the VirtualBox I suppose.

Four50 Grill in North Battleford has amazing burgers - and very filling, you won't need supper after these. The one across is their D'Wiesen burger is filled with saurkraut, swiss cheese, and sausage all on a toasted pretzel bun, with onion rings. The closer one is a spicy pickle burger with a side of Buffalo chicken poutine. It's very yummy, but your daily sodium intake will skyrocket haha.
Kubuntu 24.04 because it's a solid desktop and I have nothing against Snap. If it works then I don't care if it's a deb flat or snap. p PPAs were fun and exciting but I broke my system more than once with them back 10 years.
Thank you! It was very yummy. One thing about this recipe worth noting is that it makes like double the frosting seen.
I made this cake for my daughter's 15th birthday. It turned out great and was delicious. This is the recipe I used, https://www.gonnawantseconds.com/wprm_print/15878#
And then... Had a Korean invasion of Ireland, wow, this was a great combo.
For supper I made colcannon for the first time, spicy Korean eggplant and BBQ pork cutlets. Whew it was great and I am stuffed.
I made cheesy cauliflower balls today and they were great. Especially enjoyed the bottom of them because as they baked the cheese got crispy on the baking sheet. Used the food processor to break down the cauliflower and cheese, a real time saver. Added bacon to theses, chefs kiss to that haha.

I always understood it was a powerful audio player but, I could never figure it out. Rhythmbox just works and gets out of the way 🤷♂️
Made an awesome dish this afternoon of spicy Korean eggplant. It was a hit! The eggplant was nice and creamy, and the sauce had a nice heat to it. I'll definitely be making this again, and it's so cheap to make, which is also a win.
Recipe that I used is from here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfXK7vc-Z7A
This is basically the lentil flat bread, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZTjR5OKBO8&ab_channel=FoodWishes I add more seasonings like cilantro, some paprika, or powdered onion and garlic. It isn't something that is good the next day.
I use this for my falafel, https://cookieandkate.com/crispy-falafel-recipe/ but, I soak my chickpeas for 2 days on the counter and never used the cinnamon.
I made baked falafel with red lentil flat bread for the wrap. I baked them just because it's easier then frying all these for a family but, still they are delicious. The lentil wraps are great with it as well. Honestly, 7-10 years ago if you told me that some of my favorite meals to make would be plant based.... I'd chuckle and dismiss it. I mean I still enjoy cooking meat but, yeah plants make super satisfying, cravable meals.
Wow! That is great, those look amazing. I hope they enjoy it and keep it up because they look like they know what they are doing. 👏👏👏
Kidney stones, no?
Thanks. As long as you give it time to cook and really soften the veggies. I only had 1 cup of lentils so I was half a cup short, but 🤷♂️.
It's about to warm up out of soup season so I made a new one for me. It's butternut squash, cauliflower, lentil soup. It was funny because after I blended it with an immersion blender I tasted it and it tasted like it definitely was missing something, added the coconut milk and some lime juice and WOW that was it.
I used my own veggie broth for this. I didn't have red curry paste so I just used some powders I use for curries with a little extra paprika.
Here is the recipe I used for this.
I got to make this based off of 1990s UpperDeck hockey cards. Our city Council took this photo of them in our local Jr A hockey jerseys to show support during the teams playoffs run. I used GIMP and inkscape to make this.
This was my first attempt at making farinata. It could have used a little more bake time but it was great. It's simple but full of flavour I would definitely make it again and experiment with toppings.
Made it with my own vegetable broth as well. It turned out great, would definitely make this again. Just didn't have cilantro and missed that.
I found another bread recipe called basic white bread. This is even more basic than the first. The ingredients for this one was only yeast, sugar, water, flour and salt. The crust was amazing so flaky. It was cooked in Dutch oven with the lid closed for the first half then open for the last half.
Hey! Yeah, for sure check it out it is in the bowl arena building. For a smaller place we have some great food options.
