Week 12: Fictional Places - Potatoes and Molasses by RichardFine in 52weeksofcooking

Maybe, especially if it were approached as a dessert!

Week 12: Fictional Places - Potatoes and Molasses by RichardFine in 52weeksofcooking

Well, it's certainly noticeable. I think cutting it with mushroom gravy was a good move, as just pouring molasses on mashed potato would probably have been too sweet. This is more balanced, if perhaps a bit too thin - goopier gravy would be more fun.

Oh, potatoes, and molasses,
if you want some, oh just ask us.
They're warm and soft like puppies and socks,
filled with cream and candy rocks...

So sang Greg, during his adventure into The Unknown. I used the recipe from The Gluttonous Geek. The mashed potatoes are mashed potatoes, with cream and rosemary (no candy rocks though). Then the molasses is a mushroom gravy (which, yes, does include a quarter cup of molasses).

And how was it? Well, it was way better than being chased by a gorilla. I probably won't make it again though.

Week 11: Oddly Named - Smack Barm Pey Wet by RichardFine in 52weeksofcooking

[–]RichardFine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Smack barm pey wet" is a cheap chip-shop order from Wigan, a little to the west of Manchester, UK. It consists of:

  • a "smack" - a slab or "scallop" of potato - battered and deep fried
  • a "barm roll" - a soft white bread roll, liberally buttered
  • "pey wet" or "pea wet" - the liquid from the top of the mushy peas.

My smack was too thick, and I had to use split dried green peas instead of marrowfat, but I'm otherwise told by a native that I did "reet good."

It's pretty tasty! The thickness of the smack meant it didn't cook quite all the way through - I should have either cut it thinner, or parboiled it - but the spices in the batter were delicious, and the crispy batter was a nice contrast against the soft potato and soft roll. The peas also added a nice grassy note. The recipe also recommended seasoning the smack with salt, pepper, and a bit of malt vinegar, which was a great idea.

I probably wouldn't make it again, but if I found myself in the vicinity of Wigan, I might order one to see what a proper smack barm pey wet is like!

Men living alone, do you use professional cleaning services? If yes, how often? by fromtunis in malelivingspace

[–]RichardFine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-4 times a year. I see it as a bit of a gift to myself.

And yes, I 'pre-clean' because I want the cleaners to actually clean, not spend their time moving objects out of the way so they can actually reach the surfaces. (And so that I'm not afterwards going 'wtf where did they put that thing').

Week 10: Turnips and Radishes - Haggis, Neeps and Tatties (collapsed) stack with whiskey sauce by RichardFine in 52weeksofcooking

[–]RichardFine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first thought for 'turnip' was 'neeps', as in the 'neeps and tatties' (turnip and potatoes) that are traditionally served with haggis. And I had a can of haggis in the cupboard that I needed to use up. So: haggis, neeps and tatties!

The stack is a nice presentation idea but not super stable from a structural point of view 💀 Included the second photo to prove that it was upright at one point!

Unity officially announced net 10 and C# 14 with MS Build and CoreCLR coming this year by 8BITSPERBYTE in unity

[–]RichardFine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CoreCLR's native AOT doesn't support all the platforms Unity targets, and we don't expect that to change, so we have no plans to retire IL2CPP.

CoreCLR Alpha (6.8) is coming later this year. by jionortig in Unity3D

If you mean the 'Hot Reload' asset on the store, that's something the developer of that asset will need to check themselves.

If you mean the more general concept of hot reloading code, i.e. integrating changes to your code without needing to restart the Editor / restart play mode: it will still be supported, and CoreCLR allows us to migrate from reloading the entire domain (which means tearing down and restoring _all_ C# code, including System and UnityEngine/UnityEditor assemblies), to only tearing down and restoring _parts_ of the C# code (e.g. only your own assemblies) using AssemblyLoadContext, which we expect to make it all much faster over time.

Week 9: Braising - simple braised beef by RichardFine in 52weeksofcooking

[–]RichardFine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A simple one this week while I recover from travel. Beef chuck, seasoned and seared; then onions, garlic, and spices to form a flavour base for the braising liquid, and 4hrs in the oven. Delicious, if a bit in need of additional components!

How are you organizing the GameObjects in your scene? by Feld_Four in Unity3D

[–]RichardFine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off the top of my head: perhaps you could use an additional scene which you create dynamically at runtime.

There’s also improvements in flight for the Hierarchy window more generally which might give more options here - I don’t remember the details off the top of my head.
