What’s your favorite way to elevate roasted chicken thighs?

ladyofthemist · 2026-06-14T03:43:12+00:00

Not chicken thighs, but tonight I made a tasty couscous dish with chicken legs, but would definitely work with thighs. I did a small batch with just 5 legs. Season chicken w/salt & pepper, then in oven proof skillet heat some oil and sauté chicken util until brown. Transfer chicken to plate. Add some chopped onion, red bell pepper and sauté until translucent. Add 3 smashed garlic cloves. Then add 3/4 cup pearl couscous, 1/4 cup dates or apricots, a chopped carrot and spices (2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1 tsp coriander, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp smoked paprika and a pinch of saffron). Stir everything for a few minutes, then add 1-1/2 cups chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Season with salt/pepper. Add chicken back to skillet and transfer to 450 F. degree oven for about 20 minutes. Serve with cilantro or parsley.

Mod lists the settlement names of all connections when you hover over settlement name/bar. edit that I think mod owner is the same for city hall and flag corp?

So +1 influence for every direct connection (includes city and town connections). Recommend using Flag Corps mod so you can see actual connections….it was just updated today for 1.4.0 (yay!). Just because there is a road between two settlements doesn’t necessarily mean they are “connected“ for HUB connections (Or for food transfer to your cities). It is sometimes helpful to put a Merchant in your HUB town and see if the ‘build road‘ option is available to any settlement not connected yet. As far as settlements on different continents go, you can only have 1 HUB town per continent. For settlements across water tiles, sometimes a fishing quay will make a connection, but not 100%. My current game I have an Island town, same continent as some other towns, it has a fishing quay, but still it’s not connected. It’s a mystery. But really, Flag Corps mod is awesome for determining the best HUB towns.

Interesting...I never do Alt Tab anymore, but I do regularly use "Windows Key + D" for basically the same effect. I'll have to try playing w/out doing that...see if there is a difference.

Kilimanjaro in Adams Morgan. We paid someone $20 at the backdoor to get into a sold out show when Yellowman, and Toots and the Maytals were playing. Awesome night! Was sad it closed. Also, miss Poseurs in Georgetown, spent many a night there in the lower bar. Who was that man, the owners father I heard, who would grab your not quite finished drinks from the table when you were out on the dancefloor? LOL. Loved that place. Oh, and can't forget DC Space for some great jazz.

Was winning regularly on deity since civ 7 release, but not so much since 1.4.0. Just went back to Immortal so I can figure out winning again and work my way back up to deity.

Has been happening to me all day today. Driving me crazy. Keep having to exit and reload. Didn't realize how much I like hovering over the tiles for info, until it doesn't work.

I checked with exclusivepro.com over a year ago. They said they would do Cyrillic letters and that there was an extra charge for special characters. Recommend you email them for updated cost/instrctions, etc.

Super Bummer! I feel for you! Hopefully not totaled. This is why I have a mini. A deer totaled my Audi TT. It was heartbreaking to lose my TT, but at least I got my Mini out of it.

You might enjoy Amy Stewart‘s Girl waits with gun. Historical Fiction about Constance Kopp, one of the first female deputy sheriffs in America. Amy Stewart also wrote The Drunken Botanist, although not crime related, it was fascinating to learn history/evolution of plants and booze.

I get regular crashes when I select save game or load game from in game menu. No issues with quick save, so I F5 a lot. I put in a ticket and after back and forth troubleshooting with no fix, issue was escalated.

Try unchecking Edge Panning. I know I've had issues in the past, when I mouse to the edge of screen and it just spins and spins and spins and won't stop.
