cried in a patient's room for the first time today

patient with cerebral palsy who I saw for a massive stroke 3 months ago has had another. could not clear his secretions in the room and his wife would just say "he's remembering how to swallow" and just would NOT hear what I was saying. has her whole family working around the clock giving him care and just had the most insanely optimistic look on her face.

finally I said hospice and she just broke down, and I broke down right with her.

she cried for about two minutes, then snapped back together, thanked me for the honesty, and said she'd accept a referral.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

I mean, yeah the TV show will almost certainly suck, but I'd make that same prediction if the people behind it gave long interviews professing their love of it and follow up questions revealed their deep game lore knowledge.

I tried making a traditional red sauce from an old lady's recipe today. She's italian so I guess she knows what shes doing? It was just san marzano tomatoes, salt, butter and an onion quartered and simmered in the tomaters. It was bland as gently caress so I added pepper flakes, oregano, basil and garlic and it tastes really good now. I guess old italian ladies can be liars too.

When I make bolognese I add a bunch of spices, it would probably make traditional italians irrationally angry but whatever cook your food the way you think tastes good

I'm right there with ya. I like a bit of ice in my whiskey too and some people will kvetch about that. There's something to be said for dishes that are made with really good ingredients that are simple. Like a steak and roasted potatoes with greens can be amazing just through butter, salt and pepper but if I'm making sauce to prep 5 meals its gonna have to have something.

My Sicilian grandmother made the best red sauce I've tasted to this day but I've been having a hell of a time learning how to make it from my mom because none of the ingredients are measured. It's like, put X amount of sugar in your hand, toss it in the pot, add more later if you need to. I'm trying to standardize it to actual amounts but success has been limited. Ingredient list: tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, garlic, garlic powder, dried basil, pepper, sugar, cinnamon, parmesan, splash of red wine.

Old Italian ladies are absolutely liars and probably also cheat at card games

My grandmothers recipes for cooking and baking were all the same kind of thing "punch of this" "pinch of that" kind of measurements which are a bit of a nightmare for baking so I feel that pain. I've got one of her recipes down pat but the rest are a little harder. Some of them use lard and other things in pie crusts too which adds an interesting dimension.

My spaghetti sauce. It will make italians mad because it's too thick and it's got meat in it, but I like it that way.

1lb lean ground beef, browned with chopped onion and garlic. Don't skim the fat, idiot. Put in a lot of garlic. Like at least half a bulb. You can also slice it or crush it instead of chopping it.
Add 1 28oz can stewed, diced, or crushed tomato; 2 15oz cans of plain tomato sauce, 1 6oz can of tomato paste. Start bringing it to a boil.
Pour in some chianti. Some means some. You figure it out.
Dump in herbs. Use a lot:
-shitloads of parsley. Fresh is better than ground. Put in a lot. Handfuls. You can't really add too much.
-lots of oregano. I only ever have dried. Like a good handful. Probably like four or five tablespoons? You can add too much of this but it's hard.
-a good amount of sage
-a good amount of rosemary
-a good amount of marjoram
-a good amount of thyme
-a good amount of savory
-a good amount of tarragon
-a bunch of dried or granulated garlic. Not "garlic salt" which you should not even own.
-some powdered onion, if you want. You already did fresh onion, but I think it adds something.
-some fennel seed, if you want. Use sparingly. Some people don't like the taste.
-some basil. You can go over board especially with dried basil. Use sparingly and add more next time if you feel like it needed it
-some ground pepper, or red pepper maybe
-salt, obviously

Simmer that for a good while, check to make sure it doesn't burn. You can eat it after like ten minutes but it's better after at least half an hour. Serve on noodles or whtaever.

In defense of grandmas who's recipes are "a pinch of that, a pinch of this," every so often I make Cacio e Pepe and I usually use Alton Browns recipe, following it precisely, here for those curious. But the best version I ever made of it I went completely off memory and didn't measure anything.

Actual Italians probably hate the recipe because of the olive oil, I guess traditionally you might garnish it with that, but you don't add that much (or any) to the cheese before mixing it into the noodles.
