I like to toast cashews and put them on top of Pork Chops, they soak up the wine sauce nicely and add a good texture

So has anyone else tried brute-forcing combat tactics into the current 5E Encounters game? (Hell, is anyone else even still playing it?) Most of the characters in my group have shields if they are not rear echelon motherfuckers. So I try to have us all form a Roman shield wall, advance at roughly the same pace, and then bullshit my way with the DM through trying to put disadvantage on enemies' attacks against us. We went through our third riot in three weeks last night. Every time it amounts to us crushing the peasantry. Since we allowed dueling to be brought back, murder is now essentially legal in Baldur's Gate and it's playing out like modern Egypt. Also, they had this season go way, way too long.

Angry Orchard is a pretty good one, and they do some great seasonals. I think the most recent one was a cinnamon apple.

You had a dozen players at the table in a system that barely handles five. The game is already functionally broken without wheedling the DM for more advantages.

Because the rules are so non-existent, it handles large groups as well as Dungeon World. This is the only thing it is tied for Dungeon World on. Besides, you're not going to take a group of twelve people in a prison riot and march them in a WTO formation? Your loss.

Honestly, I've never had a chili I didn't like, from Wolf brand hot dog chili to the most lovingly crafted Texas chili. There is certainly a great spectrum of quality, but it's like pizza, even when it's poo poo it's still delicious. That said, I am a dirty savage who likes my chili over a bowl of rice.

Mr. Maltose posted:There's no wrong way to eat chili. I'm not from the USA and have no idea what Skyline is. I used to make a big pot of chili and eat it with taco shells or wraps or whatever, but sometimes I'd eat the leftover chili on pasta (or naan, or toast) if that's what was in the house when I was lazy enough to be eating leftover chili. It was never great on pasta but it wasn't awful or anything.

Skyline is a chain restaurant out of Ohio (a state devoid of taste) that puts "chili" over spaghetti and it's the worst thing.

FactsAreUseless posted:Considering that the only difference between chili and marinara sauce is beans and some spices, I'm not sure why this is so bad. "Real" chili doesn't even have the beans. Maybe it's a cheese thing. You really need the parmigiana to bind the marinara and spaghetti together.

OK, so I'm not really seeing the problem. Not that I'd eat chili over pasta if there was something better in the house, but I googled it and those look OK for fast food. I'll believe it's gross though, since I've never tasted it and you guys have. Without starting some kind of holy war, can someone give me a pointer to a good US chili recipe? Or maybe many recipes in different styles? Beans or no beans - I don't care. All I've got is an old recipe my gran brought here with her when she immigrated, and my mum's interpretation of that recipe (I wish she was still around to ask about these things, because her cooking was awesome, but what she'd write down was "Take some mince, add a few chopped onions. Spices, chillies, etc") .

The trick to chili is that it's actually Chili con Carne, meat in chili sauce. You really can't go wrong from there. Tomatoes, onions, whatever. Cumin, garlic, brown sugar, whatever. Beef mince, pork bits, chicken? Whatever. It's all about experimentation. My personal secret weapons are garam masala, paprika, and yogurt. If I happen to have lamb, voila! Chili Rogan Josh.

Your first mistake was trying to conflate Texans and people. Angry Orchard is my preference for drinking with a meal - it goes killer with a turkey sandwich. For just drinking, I really like JK's Scrumpy. It's a little pricy for boozy apple juice, but it's really really tasty. I have no idea where to buy it, but I had a French import cider that was really killer. I think it was called Etienne, and it tasted like a mouthful of hay, but in a good way.

Also: if you live in a relatively apple-laden area like New England and you're willing to invest a little bit of time and money, making your own hard cider is relatively easy and I highly recommend it - much easier than making your own beer, even. Better men than me have produced finer guides out there, I'm sure, but the basics are that you need a good unpasteurized cider and whatever brewer's yeast you prefer (I like Nottingham ale yeast, makes something more along the lines of a JK Scrumpy). No boiling, no filtering, screw all that. Obviously you need to deal with properly sanitizing your glass jug and your bottles and also the relatively minor hassle of bottling, but as far as the basic procedure? Cider, yeast, airlock, done.

If you're vegan you shouldn't be trying to make fake version of meat recipes, you should just have to live with your poor life decisions. Meat is delicious. Piell fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Nov 8, 2013 |

Nonsense, Vegan Chili is easy. You either increase beans, use some other form of protein (Nuts, Tofu), or just enter a vegetable paradise. Try using Peanut Butter to add a deep nutty flavor, or quinoa to give it an interesting mouthfeel. Carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, tomatillos. Just like regular chili, dick with ingredients until you find something good.

If salads were also hearty stews I am pretty sure I would eat them regardless of meat content. I am pretty sure I would also try growing that salad garden again.
