Anyway just now I tried the first fermentation variant, "lactobacillus inoculated." Basically, pickled coffee beans. I was struck by how *reddish* the brew was (I should have taken pictures but I am bad at planning). It also had a nice chocolatey aroma to it as it brewed, which I don't recall […]

The reason not to call AI "clankers" is not because you'll hurt the AI's feelings (they don't have those) but because it reveals you to be the kind of person who will use a slur if you think you can get away with it. Your minoritized friends will see it and note it.

I've made a second lasagna Muuuuch more cheese on top, but one... two? layers less overall I guess yesterday's had a layer extra vs today's one less, for the overall pot of bolognese I've had

Lasagna! Lasagne? Made a lasagna from scratch. My back is angry, I'm very fucking happy though and kind buzzing a bit from it. Specifically made bolognese and bechamel \o/ Used storebought "oven ready" precooked pasta I think bechamel is a lil' bit too milky […] [Original post on dragon.style]

A lasagna in a glass baking dish. It's about 3:1, observed from the long side. It's suspiciously bulging out of the dish, and the top layer of cheese pooled mostly in center, absent on the edges. There's no clear indication of how many layers of pasta are there, but it's at least one (okay it's like, 5 or 6? I forgot)

It's a pretty small dish all things considered, and it's a bit tall. It was actually baked in a toaster oven.

Too lazy to measure it but roughly would say it's like, 10cm tall, 30-40 long, 15 wide? The entire volume is all lasagna. And a bit outside.

About a quarter of the previously mentioned lasagna on a glass plate, with a knife and fork for the company. Knife's handle is somehow on the other side of the plate actually. Fork less oriented from the right to center-ish of the dish

The lasagna fell. It's a victim of being taken out too soon, too hot - the layers slightly delaminated, shifted, and have toppled over. But it's mostly in one piece, just a bit diagonal and slumped.

Someone already taken a small slice at the from off. It was good. Bechamel was a bit strong though.

The top side of the lasagna is a Elaine small, but decent enough mass of melted together cheese. It could be a bit thicker honestly. Bechamel right under that is very strong. Or maybe it's the bechamel all over the place? Hmm.

There's a mystery coil of a cable with metal jacket barely near the far side of the dish (well, not so mystery - split keyboard interconnect), and a steelseries pride mousepad to the right
