I really like Smitten Kitchen which is, as kitchen blogs go, fairly unpretentious and I have yet to cook one of Deb Perelmanns recipes that left me feeling underwhelmed. A recent discovery was that you can just use whole canned tomatoes for salsa. Before I had either hand chopped fresh tomatoes, …

I grew up near Siegburg in NRW which is represented by the letters "SU" on the plates. Popular choices of for license plates included "SU-RF", "SU-FF" (as a noun this translates to "boozing, drink") or "SU-CK"... In cologne ("K") there are a surprising number of license plates with "K-KK"... I …

Unfortunately few months have passed since i originally took the laptop apart and i completely forgotten how to put everything back together, especially all those tiny pieces of shielding and plastic which covered the motherboard. Hi there. I've taken the 400CDT apart and put it back together using …

It's PC speaker and Tandy only, sadly. Well.. that kind of sucks. The P Speaker is really annoying for playing anything at night when the rest of the household is asleep. I will probably end up playing Azure bonds through Pools on Amiga then. Which is just as well, I have Sİlver Blades and Pools of …

I wonder how many flight simulators had a proper "high resolution" (=640*350) EGA version... also, I wonder if any VGA flight simulator chose 640*480@16 colours instead of 320*200@256 colours. That would be a short but interesting list. Of the top of my head I only know this one: https://www. …

I have forgotten how realistic and difficult Red Baron II is. It's me, with all realism turned down, desperately pursuing a novice enemy, and still can't bring him down. https://i.postimg.cc/prBPytnj/Baron-2021-01-07-22-29-30-46.jpg Why don't you just stand still, you little f$&ker! Fokker?

Again, I am not a troll. I however do acknowledge that I am a person with very direct, aggressive and polemic opinions and this causes such reactions. That’s my latin personality, I’m half brazilian, half spanish. I do not expect you to understand that. I never acted like “I never knew it would …

Alright, I'm about to start on my wild boar spareribs with gravy, y'all! https://www.wild-auf-wild.de/content/wildschwein-spareribs Sides will be garlicky mashed potatoes and cooked red cabbage as a nod to German Christmas. Merry Christmas and all that. Maybe this time I'll remember to take a …

German 1993 graphic adventure effort Der Schatz im Silbersee is supposed to be pretty bad, by all accounts. It's based on Western author Karl May's work and his estate/publisher was involved with the game. I haven't played it myself but judging from gameplay vids on Youtube the writing is pretty …

That cabbage dish sounds delicious! Yah! It couldn't be simpler either. My wife pointed out that it's somewhat similar to an American staple: corned beef and cabbage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon_and_cabbage#Corned_beef_and_cabbage_(USA) In a pinch, just slice some nappa cabbage, roast it …

I've had the Kirkland Keurig things. They're alright but nothing to write home about. I simply can't see how pre-ground anything can hold a candle to freshly ground beans and, as I said before, at >30$/kg you can are paying the equivalent of all but the most gourmet specialty roasts. I know it's …

Dungeon Siege It was sitting in my Steam library and I had barely ever played it, so decided to give it a go. I'm really not sure what to think yet, a few hours in. It's interesting that you have an entire party to control in a Diablo clone, and can even set up (very very) simple tactics for each …
