Yes, that’s totally the same thing 😂

Sure, but you can see how they’re vaguely related, right?

I was laughing at all these weird dishes when it occurred to me that the fruit-based ones sound a lot like a dish here in Denmark with fresh fruit and ‘råcreme’ which is egg yolks and sugar whipped with vanilla, then gently mixed with whipped cream.

It’s delicious.

It makes little sense to think of language outside of communities, so if a speech community uses a word in a certain way then it’s correct in that context.

Of course, most states find it useful to establish an official variant. It is usually based on whatever the ruling class speaks, and is claimed to be ‘correct’, but there are no objective linguistic criteria which make it possible to say that Parisian French is more correct than e.g. Haitian French.

Right, thanks for clarifying 🙂 I agree, don’t use extra virgin for frying. Still, I don’t think it gives off bitter flavours whatever you do unless you treat it really bad.

In Denmark, we traditionally cook using butter, but I like to use whatever fits the dish I am doing.

If the whole Mediterranean region cooks with oil that way they’re not “off flavours”, are they? Then they’re just the flavours of the regional cuisine.

If you let olive oil get hot enough to hit the smoke point for a sofritto you’re doing it wrong…

But what about De Ronde? Can’t make all the cobbles disappear…

I wonder if the new colonization system will be able to model something like the Dutch, Danish and Portuguese colonial empires. While all nations had (and have) a strong naval tradition, perhaps the economic demands of colonization in EU5 might make colonization on the scale that it actually happened unfeasible.

Wow, that sounds cool :) I haven’t followed the devdiaries closely at all, so I don’t know what’s possible now. I hope my home island of Samsø will be playable in some form. Maybe I should look up how colonization works now.

I am of course going to play Denmark with the goal of eradicating Sweden from the map.

I usually don’t have a problem with Paradox, including the DLC plicy, but this seems a little dishonest.

I thought this was a rework of the original game, but it seems to be an update released as a new game??

I remember playing both EU1 and EU2 in high school, pirated of course. Did turn me into a fan and I’ve been buying their games since I could pay.

I was circumcised at 40 for medical reasons, due to phimosis. That was a blessing after several years of issues with having normal intercourse and having little operations done that were ultimately ineffective.

Anyway, it’s definitely different and I am much less sensitive. I definitely prefer being uncircumcised, just not, you know, with phimosis.

I feel like that’s largely a habit thing. I never cook using the microwave, I would have to spend a lot of time looking up shit to cook something decent. But I cook meals from scratch most days and I know exactly which ingredients to use, where things are, and how to cook a dish quickly and effeciently.

I often cook while I listen to podcasts, which strangely enough helps me focus on the mechanical tasks since I am not distracted - or rather, only distracted by the podcast. That works well for the dishes I know by heart, but if it’s something new where i need to check a recipe I have to force myself to concentrate as well :)

Good luck however you feel like feeding yourself!

If you like easy meals, get yourself a simple Italian cookbook. There’s like, one million different pasta dishes with about 3-5 ingredients in them which can be cooked in 20 minutes.

Microwaving:

1. Season and wrap
2. Put on plate
3. Place in microwave
4. Microwave it for 3 minutes
5. Eat

Frying:

1. Season
2. Put pan on stove and add butter/oil
3. Heat the pan
4. Add the fish and fry for 3 minutes
5. Eat

If you can microwave stuff you can also fry stuff, cooking is just following steps and practice.

Worse than just frying it for 3 minutes which takes the same amount of effort.

Pathetic. Get in the game, women.
