Never liked the way half-tide sounded, I think I'm liking Mean-Tide, or Median-Tide if I'm feeling fancy.

I think you're right about slack and stand, and ebb and flood would work but it's usually just a glimpse when I drive over a bridge that makes me think about it, so I don't know which way it's going.

I grew up on the coast, so I never really thought about tides just that that was the way it was. Then I married someone from a landlocked country and every time we drive over the bridge over the cove near our house I comment when the tide is high or low since they are used to lakes, and I'm never quite sure what to say when it's in the middle.

No People's Front of Judea? Seems like JPF propaganda.

I've killed a couple up here in CT, but now that I know they eat grapevines, which make a run at choking everything in my garden out , I'm having second thoughts.

It's a bit "old lady who swallowed a fly" but if they develop a taste for bittersweet...

Thanks, I hadn't heard these guys before.

Both directly under the ceiling fan though.

 
 
 

(optional)Toss tofu cubes in corn starch and spices, fry, set aside.

In a large pan, Stir fry vegetables (carrots, onions, bell pepper, bamboo shoots, zucchini, chili to taste,) and some green (or red or something else, I'm not the boss of you) curry paste until they get a little wok hay.

Add some water and soy sauce to deglaze, then add one can of coconut milk, one can of pumpkin puree, one glob of creamy peanut butter and some more curry paste, simmer until vegetables are almost done.

Add tofu cubes (pro-tip put the block of tofu on a cutting board in the sink, put another cutting board on top, then put a couple of cans on top of that. Let drain for at least 15 minutes.) and simmer to warm through.

Serve over rice.

En guete!

 
 

Pay your mercenaries malchicki I dvotchki

 

So I recently started re-watching Babylon5 while listening to a couple of podcasts "Babylon 5 for the first time" and "Grey 17." Some of the hosts seem to be big fans of Mass Effect and see lots of similarities and parallels between the two series, which piqued my interest.

The last time I seriously gamed was Diablo 2, Sid Meier's Pirates, Quake era, figure 20 some-odd years ago. My assets are, a halfway decent laptop, a bunch of desktops of varying levels with nice monitors but nothing special for the graphics cards, and a willingness to spend a few bucks for a good experience.

How fancy of a computer do I need? I'd prefer not to get a console, but if that would be better I'm open to it.

Will I be able to play with keyboard and mouse, or do I need a joystick or gamepad or something?

What is the best way to obtain a copy? Steam? Ebay?

I'd prefer to not be spoiled too much, but is there anything I should know before I start?

Thanks!

 

1st generation leftovers.

Leftover ribs fried rice- cooked and cooled rice, diced pork, frozen vegetables thawed, basil, sambal badjek, pineapple chunks, fish sauce, 2 eggs beaten, soy sauce, other ingredients to taste. Fry.

2nd generation leftovers.

Nasi Goreng a la Bule - put fried rice in bowl, add a splash of water, crack eggs on top of rice, cover, microwave using the reheat 5 setting in my microwave plus one minute on 100% for a beautifully runny yolk. Top with fish sauce and hot sauce of choice, shown with Pick-a-Peppa because "someone" used the last of the sambal in the fried rice.

 

So my wife is a vegetarian, and as a wise man once said >that pretty much makes me a vegetarian too>

But, on this particular occasion, she had gone to Hagerstown, (on purpose,) so I was left to my own devices.

Pork spareribs, overnight marinade (homemade mustard, horseradish, LS soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sechuan peppercorns, probably some other stuff) 22 minutes in pressure cooker (natural release), reduce marinade with some dark brown sugar, brush ribs with sauce, whack under broiler until done.

The baguette had an over night poolish and yudane (which I can never figure out how to mix properly into the dough), 75% hydration, 2.2% salt, and about a gram of instant yeast. 2 and 1/2 or 3 hour bulk with two folds in the first hour, proof while the oven and steel heat 45 minutes to an hour.

I'm ashamed to admit that I couldn't finish the ribs, but I had plans for the leftovers.
