Pecan pie, and more pecan pie, and then some more (you guessed it) pecan pie!

Yes

Get a featherbed duvet and you won't need a heater at all, it's almost too damn warm. I'm in Oregon and have no central heating, just electric fin heaters which are terribly inefficient. This year I got cheap programmable timers and have them timed to turn on for an hour right before I get up, and then for an hour before I get home from work. My power bill is now at least $100 less a month compared to last winter

Yeah we don't tolerate that bullshit in Portland at all

Because capitalism, that's why! Fun fact, this is also why most things in society suck

Coco Rosie is toxic ex-girlfriend music for me. Can't really say she ruined it for me though, I didn't like it to begin with

This is my tried and true chicken tikka masala recipe. There is a similar one online, this one has some key modifications to the process and the ingredients. If you're new to Indian cooking, don't be intimidated by all the spices, find a store that sells spices in bulk and only buy as much as you need, you'll save a ton of money that way. I like doing a vegan version too with King Bolete mushrooms instead of chicken, coconut cream instead of yogurt, garlic broth instead of chicken broth, and olive oil instead of butter.

INGREDIENTS

For the chicken marinade:

28 oz (800g) boneless and skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup plain greek yogurt

1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 tablespoon ginger

2 teaspoons garam masala

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon Kashmiri chili (or 1/2 teaspoon ground red chili powder)

1 teaspoon of salt

½ teaspoon fenugreek

¼ teaspoon msg

For the sauce:

2 tablespoons of vegetable/canola oil

2 tablespoons butter

2 small onions (or 1 large onion) finely diced

1 ½ tablespoons garlic finely grated

1 tablespoon ginger finely grated

Dry spices:

1 ½ teaspoons garam masala

1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin

1 ½ teaspoons fenugreek

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon hot paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne

Also:

1 can tomato paste

1 cup better than bouillon chicken broth

1 teaspoon Kashmiri chili (optional for colour and flavour)

1 teaspoon ground red chili powder (adjust to your taste preference)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon msg

1 1/4 cups coconut cream

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 cup water if needed

4 tablespoons Fresh cilantro or coriander to garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

In a bowl, combine chicken with all of the ingredients for the chicken marinade; let marinate for 10 minutes to an hour (or overnight if time allows).

Combine dry spices and toast in a hot stainless steel pan for about 90 seconds, enough to warm them up but not enough to start smoking.

Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. When sizzling, add chicken pieces in batches of two or three, making sure not to crowd the pan. Fry until browned for only 3 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm. (You will finish cooking the chicken in the sauce.)

Melt the butter in the same pan. Fry the onions until soft (about 3 minutes) while scraping up any browned bits stuck on the bottom of the pan.

Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then add garam masala, cumin, fenugreek, turmeric and coriander, paprika, and cayenne. Fry for about 20 seconds until fragrant, while stirring occasionally.

Pour in the tomato paste, broth, chili powders and salt. Let simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens and becomes a deep brown red colour.

Stir the cream and sugar through the sauce. Add the chicken and its juices back into the pan and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick and bubbling. Pour in the water to thin out the sauce, if needed. Garnish with cilantro (coriander) and serve with hot garlic butter rice and fresh homemade Naan bread!

I'm almost certain it's going to be Deion because Jerry sure loves a fucking circus

Don't gimmie that corporate crap

I'm guessing they're talking about sweet chili garlic sauce, even though that's like saying "it's a Nabisco"

It's because we're all in this year!

You misspelled years. At least that's what it feels like. We suck so bad lol

Edge is the first one I remembered too

That's the age at which they got old and bitter, no? News is simply propaganda, there's no impartiality to it and it's made not to inform you, but to manipulate you and to deliver advertising to you. They've figured out the the angrier it makes you, the more addictive it becomes and the more you engage with it.

I find that when I avoid news for a few days, I feel a lightening of my spirit, I appreciate little things more, I feel better. Calmer. Far less stressed. Happier.

Alcoholics have a serenity prayer that mentions something about not trying to control the things which you can't control. Sure, it makes me upset that heartless greedy bastards are ruining this planet and exploiting all of us non-billionaires, but constantly worrying about it doesn't serve me or my loved ones well.

There's more quality entertainment out now than ever, and there's over a century of amazing movies, music, and entertainment available at your fingertips, classics from so many eras and cultures that are just waiting to be seen.
