It's called canola oil over here, although mostly you can only find it cold-pressed, toasted canola oil is not so much of a thing

Cardiovorax posted:Camembert is a very common filling. I have a few of those in my fridge right now. What you do is to bake them and then serve them hot while the camembert is still melty, together with gooseberry sauce. It's delicious. frikandellen were a guilty pleasure. they look like crap, they often taste like crap, but sometimes it's garbage day.

You could get toasted rapeseed oil from a restaurant supplier but it's going to be significantly more expensive than standard canola or peanut oil which is probably what they use over here.

Spaghetti pie is great, my italian grandma used to make it for the holidays. She died last November so I feel obligated to make it for Christmas this year if we can do a family thing.

Cardiovorax posted:Ah, that explains a lot. Rapeseed oil is actually super common here. It's one of the most commonly grown oil plants. There is actually a good reason why the FDA used to prohibit its usage - wild rapeseed, or Raps, as we call it, contains a lot of toxic glucosinolate, which is potentially harmful above a certain dosage. Modern rapeseed crops, or double-zero crops as they're called here, are nearly entirely free of glucosinolate. It's a very good and entirely healthy kind of cooking oil that you can get in basically every European grocery store. Well the actual reason it's banned is erucic acid I think, not glucosinolate, so Erucic acid causes heart attacks in mice at super high doses but billions of people across the globe use oils containing it with no ill effect. Canola oil was an attempt to make rapeseed oil without erucic acid but in the process they eliminated any and all flavor

I don't really like spaghetti either. It's a texture thing because I like flatter/thicker pastas just fine but I can't do spaghetti or anything thinner at all. And living with a wife and son with acid reflux means I no longer eat tomato sauces except when I order a pizza for myself.

You can buy rapeseed oil in the supermarket but again it's pricey. Think a top shelf extra virgin olive oil pricey. I've never seen a toasted variety though.

Cardiovorax posted:As appetizers, though, not as part of the dish. Or maybe that's another American thing? Italian restaurants usually just serve some ciabatta and garlic butter while you wait for your food here. I usually don't eat a lot of it. Walla posted:There's a difference between a piece of bread and butter on the side and making a sandwich of it, as far as texture and my taste buds are concerned. I can understand why people like it, it's just not for me. Both my moms served spaghetti with some bread. Sometimes just like sandwich bread toasted with some butter and garlic salt or garlic-butter. Sometimes with nicer garlic bread from a loaf or a Texas Toast type garlic bread. Sandwich version is the same deal, can be garlic bread or even toasted garlic cheese bread, whatevs. In any case, it's something that tastes good but holy moly just too much bread since noodles is just string bread. I think it's also why spaghetti sucks as a wildcard topping in a stunt taco/burger/pizza. Same goes for mac n cheese, mac n chz on a burger is just diluting the cheese with noodles piling onto the buns job. i love spaghetti sauce, probably just tomato sauce in general. salsa is delicious too. i like that there are already several kinds of spaghetti sauce soups. literally anything can be done to a tomato + onion + bell pepper and the outcome will always be "delicious". when i die i want them to fill my body with soil and the seeds of the holy trio for wild humans to feed off of

Huh. I just tried to return something to Amazon and they just said "sure, here's your money, keep the thing, we don't need it back." I guess that's kinda neat? Free PC case fan for me, yay.

Amazon customer service used to be really top notch, I've had a bunch of things where they just let me keep them, or when it didn't arrive on time they sent me another and then the first one arrived eventually and they said just keep the extra. Actually felt like they cared about keeping your business. Of course it was temporary and now that they've got everybody sold on Prime they don't care as much and so you can't depend on it, sometimes they do want you to return the thing even though its only worth $5. And obviously if you try to exploit it then they'll pick up on you fast. But its nice to get those freebies occasionally, Bezos can afford it.

Their margins are so huge it'd probably cost them more to process it coming back in than they'd get reselling it. Only because they criminally underpay the suppliers, warehouse staff and delivery drivers and don't pay tax though.

I was just a dumbass and measured the front fans (140mm) instead of the back fan (120mm) because I thought they'd be the same, so it's honestly my own fault. There's plenty of space left in the case, I just ordered the wrong thing because I was too lazy to disconnect all the cables and turn the tower around.

RazzleDazzleHour posted:I bounced off of Strikers hard. It just feels too loose for me in terms of a beat-em-up, and I wish it was more tight and mechanical - I don't need it to be DMC/Bayonetta but at least something closer to Nier. The part I quit at was during the first infiltration which is a long endurance gauntlet. Normally it's okay to blow spells all the time because you can regen to full HP/SP at any save point of which there are tons, but not during this. Spells are the only way to interrupt enemy spells, so if you don't want to waste your MP (you do not have a ton of max MP, maybe 10 casts total) you have to totally disengage from the fight because enemy spell indicators are impossible to see underneath all the enemies and it's hard to reliably dodge them. I think I was supposed to buy way more healing items or something, because I got to like the fourth boss fight in the gauntlet and everyone was at 1 HP and basically no MP and I just couldn't win, so I had to choose to exit the gauntlet which puts you back at the very beginning before a ten-minute survival fight and I didn't feel like doing all that again. I had this take up to the Alice fight, and then the game completely turned around for me. I think the reasons for this are: - most character combos don't really unlock until the second or third dungeon, which is lame - not enough feedback from normal hits, especially if you're hitting weaknesses with combos - you don't have any way to get SP items until you can cook food, at which point you get SHITLOADS. - game doesn't teach you to dodge nearly enough. dodge like it's Hades. It drastically shifts once you can cook up SP items, and gets way more fun imo. It's mechanically interesting but it has an SMT4-esque first dungeon problem.

Finished Hypnospace Outlaw today and was surprised by how much actual story was there. I wish I'd learned about the hint system earlier in the game though because it's very much the sort of game where you don't want "go here do this" but instead "maybe someone in goodtime valley knows about this?" Hint system is just search "hint"

I just replaced the rear bumper of my Kia Soul. That was the first and last time I'm ever doing that poo poo since there's a reason I have never done body work for a living. Now I'm going to take a shower and have a couple of enchiladas delivered before driving into the next chapter of Detective Pikachu and maybe starting the last game of the Ace Attorney Trilogy.

I actually really like the Soul. It's easy to get in and out of and it's comfortable to sit in which is really important for my disabled wife. Some rear end in a top hat backed their trailer hitch into the bumper and didn't bother to leave a note so buying a new bumper and doing it myself saved me over $400. Thankfully our rear bumper was 2 tone already so it looks exactly the same as before. The rear bumper of a 2015 Soul is an exceptional bitch. The rear fender panels are attached to the lower bumper by 8 screws on each side, so what is normally 1 big piece on most vehicles is 3 separate pieces. It was not a fun time but the finished job does look pretty decent. Bad Video Games fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Mar 14, 2021 |

Okay well I finished the somniums and while the loving dance sequence exceeded expectations, I still think running away with the receptionist is the true and best ending. I liked it. It's like hanging out with your high friend as he describes the plot of Lost Highway, except he can't remember it at all and it just keeps getting weirder and funnier and he can't keep a straight face.

My older sister would reheat spaghetti in a microwave without any water so it'd get all superheated, gross, and oddly crystalized, and then she'd put it between some bread and eat it as a spaghetti sandwich.
