RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I was gifted a box of fancy dried mushrooms. I pressure cooked a few from each type with my regular beans. Its actually a great combination. Incredibly, mushrooms need more cooking time than beans.
Turkey soup
I used to make a lot of chicken pot pie-esque soups in years past, lots of potatoes and carrots, but lately my go-to is to sautee some onions, bell pepper, celery, carrot, zucchini and whatever else is handy, using sesame oil and a little chili oil, then add water and make packaged ramen noodles in the pot, discarding the powder packet and using soy sauce, oyster sauce and hoisin sauce, sometimes with chopped green onions, minced fresh ginger, garlic and/or crushed peanuts. At the end I throw in a little of whatever meat leftovers I already have, thinly sliced. Very flavorful, sort of a pho vibe, and has the homemade satisfaction.
I've also tried this with non-Asian flavors such as generic Cajun seasongs, cumin, paprika, garlic and chili powder. Ramen noodles are cheap and versatile.
I have a green chili stew recipe I love; one of my favorite foods.
- 2-3 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 or 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp oregano
- 2 to 3 lbs red or gold potatoes, cut into small chunks
- 3 large cans chopped green chilies
- 5 to 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 to 4 tsp canned chopped jalapeños
- 1 ½ to 2 lbs pork loin, cut into small chunks
- 1 to 1 ½ tsp salt, to taste
- Sour cream
Heat the oil in a 2 quart saucepan, add the onion and garlic, and cook, covered, over low heat for about 5 minutes so that the onion can wilt.
Uncover the pan, raise the heat to medium, and stir in the cumin and pepper.
Stir for 2 or 3 minutes, or until the onions start to show signs of browning, then add the chicken broth, oregano, salt, green chilies, jalapeños, & pork. Add potatoes until pot is full.
Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for at least 1 hour.
Remove from heat and let settle for 5 to 10 min.
Serve hot, add sour cream to servings per taste. Garnish with cilantro, avocado, tortilla chips, cracklins, etc.
I made french onion soup yesterday. The house still smells like caramelized onions. I have leftovers, but I ran out of cheese and somebody threw away the rest of the stale baguette.
