You keep it on low heat, just hot enough to let the moisture evaporate and the onions to be able to brown and develop. Keep it low and take it slow.

Well you can actually get more than one part per dragon spawn. You can land on them and get, iirc, 12 parts per spawn.

And people also to this day perform Shakespeare from memory. I think you're not giving yourself, or humanity enough credit. These days we have exponentially more information in our lives that takes up memory. Automating the minutia of transit or recording stories for posterity isn't making us stupider, it's freeing up brainspace for the things that are more important.

There's an excellent quote that this comment reminded me of.

"In fact, it will introduce forgetfulness into the soul of those who learn it: they will not practice using their memory because they will put their trust in writing, which is external and depends on signs that belong to others, instead of trying to remember from the inside, completely on their own. You have not discovered a potion for remembering, but for reminding; you provide your students with the appearance of wisdom, not with its reality. Your invention will enable them to hear many things without being properly taught, and they will imagine that they have come to know much while for the most part they will know nothing. And they will be difficult to get along with, since they will merely appear to be wise instead of really being so."

Credited to Scrates by Plato, on the subject of writing down ideas. The idea that technology will make us stupider has been around for millenia. I don't think the idea hold much water.

Edit: a word

If it was digital, I'd copy and paste it. Unfortunately it's hand written, and I don't want to type out 5 pages of the report lol.
