Bay 12 Games Forum

Yeah, I just always play with few or none minor races (mostly few, though. Flavor and all that).

Federation always gets the Edo. Actually Federation tends to be the most powerful opponent if you let it roam around undisturbed for more than 40-50 turns :/

Dunno about win7, though. I have winXP myself and it works nicely, just needs a slight graphical adjustment.

So, what it says on the tin! Are there still enthusiasts of that old (and very neat) strategy game? People who still turn Federation into power or create galaxy-wide empires? People who keep failing to the Borg? Who go all 'fffuuuu' at calamarain appearing on first ten turns?

And most importantly: any people who want to multiplayer it? I think it could be achieved with 'tcp/ip' option in the game and then hussle around with hamachi?

Clearly blank white eyes at the last page.

Deadselves.

Salt is super important for some things to taste good.

You sound as if the only spice you use is salt

Which is worst cooking crime ever!

-salt-

As far as I know, ton of salt only gets boiling point of water a bit higher, prolonging the cooking (We might a chemist here to know best, though) Also, salt kills your kidneys, while oil not so much.

Never herd of 'salt only' pasta boiling option. Neither my mother, and given she cooks food for longer than I'm alive, I trust her cooking experience and skills more than any other source

Cold spaghetti? Error.

Fish in spaghetti? Error.

Sorry Jopax, but appears that when, by ultimately tiny chance, I would eat at you, I won't order spaghetti

Gołąbki and kruśchiki remind me of Christmas at my grandmother's house. My grandmother (on my mom's side) is of central European descent, and though we didn't inherit too much of her side's culture, we did carry over a few food traditions.

Gołąbki are cabbage rolls stuffed with ground beef, pork, and rice, and served in a tomato sauce. According to Wikipedia (I had to figure out how that was spelled), they're related to Turkish dolmas.

Kruśchiki, or "angel wings", are basically bow-tie-shaped fried cookies that are served with powdered sugar, sort of like funnel cake. They're excellent eaten hot. My aunt usually makes them around Christmas, and where I am they're only sold at church bake sales.

I assume you're of Polish ancestry, as 'chruściki' and 'gołąbki' are mostly Polish dishes. And yes, both are omnomnomnomnom^infinity.

'Chruściki' are as I'm told by my mother, derived from 'chrust' which is basically dry branches (or more commonly, dry hay) as fire fuel.

My mother permitted me to divulge her beetroot soup addicting element

If fresh boiled beetroots have been used: 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
If vinegar-pickled beetroots have been used: Like above, just less vinegar.

It makes the beetroot soup sweet in your mouth, but kinda sour-spicy when it goes down your throat. Beets (ha!) any other soup at cold winter day. Also of course, the above are all matter of taste. Don't forget the usual spices. I hope you use common spices in your soups, right? Right?
