I'm not much of a stew person, but I've made this vegan beef stew recipe before, and enjoyed it. Tofu has plenty of protein, and the rest of the stew is vegetables, so hopefully it fits the bill! Credit for the recipe goes to Felix Whelan and Carol Ann Whelan.

Ingredients:

1 pound extra firm regular tofu, frozen, then thawed (this dramatically changes the texture from soft and squishy to firm and spongy in a very "meat-like" way)

1 large onion, chopped

4 cups vegetable broth (I use 4 cups warm water in which 4 Magi brand vegetable bouillon cubes are thoroughly dissolved)

5 tablespoons vegan Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

4 large carrots, cut however you prefer carrots for stew. I cut them into 1/2 inch thick chunky disks.

4 potatoes, peeled and cut "stew style," whatever that means to you!

1 large tomato, seeded and diced

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon dried basil

3 tablespoons margarine

5 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with water till all the lumps are gone

Directions:

The Tofu:

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

  2. Drain the water from the thawed tofu. Cut the tofu into slices and squeeze more water out.

  3. Cut the slices into "stew-style" chunks (however big or small that is in your ideal of the perfect "beef stew") and place in the oven on an ungreased cookie sheet. Check the tofu about every 10-15 minutes, and pull it out before it actually browns. The goal here is to dry the chunks out as much as possible without burning them. When they're just right, they should have roughly the consistency of croutons.

The Stew:

  1. Place all ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir well, and cook on high for 3 hours.

  2. Stir the stew thoroughly. Replace lid and cook on low for another 5 hours. The stew is ready when it is thick and brown.

(First, I am very happy and relieved to see you again, despite the circumstances. You are welcome here and we love you.)

But, yeah, fuck :( That's a shitty situation and I can relate to it. 🫂

my subreddit was called shibe. doge was a good shibe but people kept repeating it until it became lame, and then the final nail in the coffin was when someone made the first memecoin off of it. that was 2013 Lol. it has sucked for so long!

didn't even follow it an inch down that direction, maybe my taste in memes saved my soul? when elon named his department that stupid name I felt nothing and I take no responsibility. I am just a dog online

I'm feeling similarly. I want these GameBoy shaped devices to target up to the PS1 (2D games, at least, like SotN), and then maybe a SteamDeck or similar device.

As an update, I got my RG35XX+ working again. Not sure why, but I might have re-flashed the firmware incorrectly. So, it's back in the running.

I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus almost two years ago. Love it so much that I wish I'd bought a more expensive model with analog sticks.

Now I'm in the rabbit hole of salivating at all these fancy new handhelds on the market, but never actually buying another one because something better will be right around the corner. Holding out for the day someone gets SteamOS running in this form factor.

everyone laughed at me when i said i had an idea for interactive visualization tools which work up to 5 spatial dimensions :(

that would have been great for manifold learning, because usually you only work with 2 or 3 spaces.

if the true shape of something is 10 dimensional or less, you can explore that by umap'ing it to 5 dimensions or less

alas

So I don't know grammar good enough to know what a clause is, and I grew up where people didn't always speak "standard" english in the first place, so grain of salt, but it sounds fine to me.

I'd say "where we know them from" but that only sounds a smidge more standard

The full context of the first was like "It gives us the same strange out of place feeling as when we see an actor who we can't quite place how we know them."

The second clause describing the actor feels redundant to me, it feels very awkward. Having the pronoun for the same subject in there feels weird. "An actor that ..." Means that ... Is specifically referring to the actor. Then we have "... we don't know where we know them" feels like a whole new sentence with its own subject and object. It feels unrelated to me. The them is redundant, to me.

I think this has existed for a while, at least when I do it it mostly comes from restructuring the sentence halfway through, yknow when you start going without knowing exactly how you're going to finish?

e.g. in your examples, it would be "a type of fruit that [pause] we don't know where it comes from"
