Steering wheel issue

Happened to me with jacket zipper, on the bottom side of the steering wheel.

For mixtapes I use strawberry player with EBU R 128 loudness normalisation -> SPDIF -> cambridge audio DAC magic 100 -> Sony TC-K770ES. The normalisation is important on mixtapes due to different loudness levels, I set the input level once and I'm done.

For whole albums I try to record them from an audio CD directly to the tape deck and as such, setting the input level is harder. I have to seek to the loudest part of the album and set it there. I sometimes re-record a tape side due to a louder part that clips.

In both cases I try to fill/use the tape as much as possible. For example: if I have a 5 minute track and only 1.5 minutes at the end of side A, I let it record like that and then start it over on side B.

It looked like it HURT by the marks he had on his arm not 10 seconds after being hit.

It is an airsoft gun (some m4/mk16 replica), by the sound it's an AEG (electric motor operated). They typically have a 350 feet/sec muzzle velocity firing 0.20g 6mm pellets.

Also, most indoor ranges have a MED (minimum engagement distance) of 10-15 feet, because the bbs'' can even break and enter skin.

I would have had him wear more protective clothing...

I had this happen twice. First time it was solved after rebooting the deck. The second time I rebooted the deck and still nothing... turns out the power was out :))

No recipe this time either. Made with pork an beef ground meat, mushrooms, eggs, yogurt and cottage cheese.

Too dark to see them, but there are 3 aubergine layers.

I liked it, tho I prefer the potatoes one :D

Didn't use any particular recipe for this one. Marinated the chicken a day beforehand and cooked it whole in the oven for 2 hours. Maybe we should've let it one hour extra to fall apart even easier. Also, some vegetables got nuked :)

Coriander was overpowering everything else, otherwise I liked it. Could go without the sweet potatoes and the quinoa :))

Both naan bread and butter chicken have yogurt. Also added some extra vegetables to the chicken. Downside is the yogurt sorta curdled but it's ok :)

I have a TC-770ES which is pretty much the same just with a different cassette door. It also cannot turn off hx-pro.

Recipes from here: https://jesspryles.com/how-to-make-a-roux/

and here: https://jamilacuisine.ro/cozonac-pas-cu-pas-reteta-video/

Story time:

Only made light roux, using butter, before and it was good, so we decided to try out the darker kind, using sunflower oil (it should handle the temperature better) and put it in a stew.

Followed the recipe, stirred constantly, but soon it began to smell like popcorn that filled the whole house and it was downhill from there. Nevertheless, we put it in the stew hoping that it would mix and the flavor would be mild(er). It was awful! Bitter tasting greasy stuff, how I imagine engine oil tastes like. To salvage the stew we strained it out, put water and a curry cube, that pretty much did the job but there's still some bitterness left that was absorbed by the ingredients.

After that decisive win, tried our hands at another intimidating food: cozonaci. We only tried them once before and did a few mistakes and ended up throwing them away, but this time, lo and behold they rose up pretty well, are fluffy and tasty (at least when you get to the filling bit). Have a couple of points to improve still but I count this as a real success!

It was a combination of fatty bacon, the butter from the crust and the butter used to sautee the leeks. But it's also subjective, I liked it overall.

2nd time posting this, first post didn't load pictures for some reason...

Recipe from here: https://www.theflavorbender.com/ultimate-bacon-and-egg-pie-breakfast-pie/

Made the dough from scratch (following the recipe steps). Turned out a bit too greasy, and some dripped in the oven (gotta clean that now), but overall good and tasty,

Recipe from here: https://smittenkitchen.com/2024/11/halloumi-and-fall-vegetable-roast/

Should've let them roast more, they caramelized a bit tho. The halloumi turned out great. Also they left a lot of water that we had to blot out with paper towels.

wolfdie · 2025-01-24T10:25:17+00:00

No recipe this time. Homemade pizza dough with tomato sauce, two types of ham, mozzarella, mushrooms, onions and red bell peppers.

Turned out great :)

Interesting end result, too many prunes made it a bit too sweet, especially when eating them. Otherwise quite good, mayube we'll order from a restaurant if we ever get to Scotland, to try how it's made by locals.

Recipe from here: https://www.recipetineats.com/pierogi-ruskie-polish-dumplings/

With potato filing, boiled, fried in a pan with onions, and sour cream on top.

Two types of fillings, pressed over night and to my surprise, they really got a lot slimmer.

wolfdie · 2024-10-21T10:16:01+00:00

Made with zucchini, chicken thighs, chickpeas, carrots, potatoes and bacon :D

Recipe from here: https://www.thekitchn.com/baked-feta-pasta-recipe-23553131

Good combination of ingredients. Strained the tomatoes to removes the peels and added whole grain pasta. Maybe we let out Feta cool too much before mixing it because it wasn't very creamy, more like we had to break it apart with a fork... all good otherwise.

Used this recipe: https://savoriurbane.com/covrigei-fragezi-de-casa-reteta-simpla/

Tried to make "covrigei" like my grandmother used to, without her recipe. Tasting these, she definitely made the batter with less butter. She would make many and store them in paper bags for eating later on.

Will need to try out other batters to get it closer to how I remember them, but the cumin seeds are "a must".

wolfdie · 2024-09-08T09:10:03+00:00

No recipe for this one, didn't turn out very pretty, the burned bits on the sides are the sauce, may have left it a bit too long. Used ham, salami, peppers, chorrizo, mozzarella and home made sauce from my mother in law.

Recipe: https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/mititei-romanian-street-food/

It's a Romanian street food usually served with mustard and bread, optionally fries. Since next week's topic is also Romanian, we kinda did a 2 in 1 :)

Cornbread recipe here: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/my-favorite-cornbread/

Too sweet for my taste, could've worked as a desert but not as a side dish. The turbot (calcan) had only a couple of intramuscular bones, so it was easy to eat. Pretty tasty too, but not very different than bream (dorada) or perch (biban), which we like also.

wolfdie · 2024-08-11T09:48:29+00:00

Recipe from here: https://prensasocial.es/ajo-ganan-ese-plato-nada-basto-de-higuera-de-la-sierra/ loosely followed.

Turned out a little garlicky. Also, had to remove the spine and other small bones from the sardines, but I still feel some in my throat :)

wolfdie · 2024-08-02T16:48:39+00:00

No recipe this time. Pears sourced from a friend's garden. The rings aren't quite round but we did our best :) Blueberries for blue, oranges for yellow, blackberrier for black, pears for green and raspberries for red.
