In a post to GitHub on Tuesday, the social media giant purported to share its secret sauce.

Also probably the last time this year for this recipe -- penne in walnut sauce

Wait, I think I figured out the secret sauce:
If you blindly accept what the LLM generates on the first pass, and never try refining anything, you don’t have to waste time waiting for it to rework the code over and over again.
Might explain all the slop code my coworkers have been shipping lately.

Just posted a new article over in my Framespotting Substack, about the decisions that go into deciding which of your images is worthy of printing (vs keeping/posting). There’s some secret sauce there, but it’s kind of an intangible formula.

What is print-worthy?
When deciding what photographs to print and sell, one has to imagine (or predict) what the general public is likely to want to hang over the couch. That's been harder than I thought.

i'm friends with a doctoral student from chengdu and he brought me a sichuan-style sea bass to celebrate the new year!

Few nights ago I sourced some cheap chicken wings** so we baked em up. I had heard that Buffalo wing sauce was really just butter and Frank's hot sauce, so I tried that.

Getting to the very end of last year’s garden harvest and preservation work. Harvested and froze the leeks. Made a potent Louisiana Style Jalapeño sauce and simple Taco Sauce from some fermented Jalapeños. Already ready for this year’s harvest. 🤣 🌱

Hey, waiter! I want a NEW SHIRT and a PONY TAIL with lemon sauce!

The first seems underspiced/undercheesed but the second one looks interesting. I am suspicious of any Mac & Cheese recipe that does not require the creation of a proper bechamel-based cheese sauce. The 2 methods here (both basically creating the sauce as part of the bake) make me very nervous.
OTOH, I do like the concept of not fretting over a sauce. I am intrigued by the concept of saucing uncooked pasta before baking… @…

Leah McElrath (@leahmcelrath.bsky.social)
Two of the best macaroni and cheese recipes I’ve ever tried came from a 2006 NYT Food article called “the Winter Cook.” One is a classic mac and cheese casserole with crispy edges. The other is a more unusual creamy mac and cheese casserole that includes cottage cheese and a hint of nutmeg.

So far I've done the cranberry sauce and the pots are nearly boiling. I've remembered YPs, both GF and standard, and I'm going to run out to the supermarket as I'm not convinced that my bun tin is scrupulously clean, although I probably haven't used it since I bought it new for GF YPs last Christmas 😄 I've remembered red cabbage too so everything else I planned to do today will have to wait!

I've never seen this outside of my family in the wild (some research shows there are other people online who've made it/have recipes).
We make “turkey roll" with leftover turkey dinner. I chop turkey, veggies, and stuffing up into small pieces, fry up some fresh onions celery garlic, and stuff it into biscuit dough, then bake.
It gets a "sauce" of either leftover extra-thickened gravy or a béchamel-ish white sauce. It's pretty tasty and the fresh bi…

Snow day left overs breakfast. Salt Line braise short rib waffled fermented potato garlic fried egg shatta hot sauce.

Meanwhile, Schumer’s much-touted list of demands is (oh, shocker) pathetic weak sauce: “a prohibition on [ICE] wearing masks, the imposition of a code of conduct and independent investigations of violations.”
…which, like…
(1) Sure, that would be nice — comically insufficient, but nice
(2) DHS already ignore the very clear laws that are on the books; why on earth do you think it would help to have more rules for them to ignore?
(3) ICE CBP right now are basically the KKK except with a budget the size of Russia’s military. Decimate that budget or GTFO.

Bon alors, j’ai fait ma super sauce tomate, italienne, et j’ai trouvé qu’elle n’avait pas beaucoup de goût. Après j’ai fait une soupe aux légumes sautés, dorés et je sentais surtout le goût du sel.
Je commence Š me poser de sérieuses questions. 🤔🤒

One of my neighbors has been encouraging us to put up "No ICE" signs by our front doors, and.. while I appreciate the sentiment, the signs themselves are ugly and kind of weak sauce.
Anyone know where I can get some "abolish ice" or even better, "Prosecute ICE" weatherproof signs?

I made pizza rolls today… not like the Totino’s kind, more like “cinnamon rolls but make it pizza with sauce and cheese” and damn if they were not delicious! I will definitely be doing this again.

Lately I make a point to point out olfactory impressions which are more common in human areas (though it's impolite to tell people you can smell the tomato sauce on their pasta 40 feet away) -- these are much less common in the woods but this area in Shindagin Hollow has a definite scent of pine

Das großartige Chilirezept (hier immer ohne Schokolade und mit weniger Olivenöl und mit Hackfleisch) funktioniert auch perfekt mit Erbsenprotein, 100g reichen völlig, wo ansonsten 500g Hackfleisch zum Einsatz kommen. Und dann noch eine Dose Kidneybohnen, von denen die Hälfte püriert wird zwecks Erhöhung der Sämigkeit. #nommention

Texas-Style Chili Recipe (Gift Recipe)
Calling a dish "Texas Chili,” especially if you’re not a native of that state, is clearly asking for trouble. But this recipe, refined over years of potlucks and Super Bowl parties, is too good to keep under wraps. Its depth of flavor, from different chile types, makes this recipe stand out. It also has whole spices, unsweetened chocolate and dark beer that meld seamlessly into a brick-red sauce that naps the succulent meat. The meat can be cut into large chunks, or, more traditionally, thi…

Successful first day. Flight issues thanks to snow in Munich but we got to Rome in plenty of time to enjoy a lovely dinner at Babette. Highlight was the ravioli with mozzarella and a little anchovy inside in a yummy butter sauce.

The new bun recipe I tried last week-end is definitely a step above my regular one

There’s not really any Chicago deep dish style pizza in #Montreal so we’ve got to make it ourselves.

One of my Lebanese comfort dishes is kefta wa batata — lamb mixture with potatoes. You’d slice the potato and layer them with the meat mixture and the put tomato puree over them and bake. Tonight, I decided to make that into a pizza: the kefta and potato pie.

Pour bien finir l’année, un gâteau cerises et chocolat ! 😋
