Hello everyone. We have a new gang tag that, in true dorkroom fashion, probably like six people get the joke behind. I said I'd hand out six of them for free and by god I will. To receive your gang tag, please complete one of the following tasks and post it here. Best (decided arbitrarily since there's no end time) six will receive the gang tag for free, but obviously anyone else can just buy it if they want. This gang tag right here.  You have a variety of ways to receive it. 1) Cook and photograph swedish meatballs (with recipe link) 2) Order or create what you consider a "dorkroom themed pizza" and post a picture of it here. You gotta convince me. 3) Three photojournalistic images of your or another person's cat. Weegee vibe appreciated but not required. 4) A photo you feel encapsulates "paddling dog" that does not actually feature a dog that is paddling Honestly I just really want some good swedish meatball recipes.

Indoor cat, Matso, depressed because he is not allowed outside. A fully outdoors cat may be skittish on approach. This is as close as we could get. They did not respond to our request for an interview.  Local resident, who wished to remain anonymous, provides a tip for others: "Balance is key to a healthy life".

"Personal hygiene is tough work", says cat who didn't work a single day in its long, happy life. Actually working cat protesting lack of appropriately-sized construction equipment.  Ready for a night on the town.

I don't know how to cook meatballs, don't have any pizza, but I do got myself a motherfucking documentary series of a weegee and I am afraid to go out in to the world to come up with something that depicts dog paddling. I title this important work "the transition of Abigail (the weegee) from kitten to adult" Four months:  1.5 years:  3.8 years:

For this pizza I chose a subtle garlic sauce to indicate that posters here are nuanced and good for your cholesterol. Then we slathered that nuance on a medium thin crust, to represent the compromise that all art requires of us. Then we topped it off with crunchy chicken, for flavor. Then I put it on a toilet, the toilet represents posts. All posts.

When the UK entered lockdown, everyone became a baker overnight and bought all the flour from normal shops. I bought 25kg of doppio zero from a pizzeria supplier. Ideally, dorkroom themed pizza would be half burnt and half raw but I made a concession to edibility. Artistic vision must come second to documenting life. The choice of toppings will please one person and likely no-one else, and the photographs require captions, so still pretty dorkroom.  Mine has six kinds of mushrooms* because the word on the street is that the judge is into fungi. The sauce recipe called for a teaspoon of oregano. I really like oregano so used a handful. This level of seasoning needs to be balanced, so I also added a Moruga scorpion.  My partner's pizza has yellow pepper, olives, jalapenos, and carrots, presented with a subtle cat face arrangement.  Chickens had some too. Chickens don't like mushrooms, so theirs was margherita. The light? I could not control it. But the story! *chef's kisses*. * cremini, chestnut, honey fungus, porcini, slippery jack, black trumpet

Scoops, Kingpin of the household can be observed spending his days in leisure while his lackeys do his dirty work. He seems unconcerned that his life of crime may ever catch up to him. Poppy, Scoops' second in command giving a stern look to the camera, while agreeing to be photographed we can see that some apprehension is still there.  Poppy, laying low, hiding from the law

2) Order or create what you consider a "dorkroom themed pizza" and post a picture of it here. You gotta convince me. Instead of just a picture of a pizza which I consider banal and beneath a true documentary photojournalist I instead asked myself: What happens after the pizza? In this series of images we can see how life really is in the year 2020, with pandemics and a bitter economic climate. Image 1 out of 1: Pizza Box in Parking Lot - An Ode to the Landscape Photography Thread  This is a deeply personal work for me, because I had to eat the pizza and then later put the box on the ground in a parking lot. The empty pizza box is an allegory for the emptiness we all feel inside this year as we are socially distancing and self-isolating. It was made in an as ethical configuration as possible: 1. Auto white-balance 2. It has not been cropped 3. Auto ISO 4. Auto shutter speed 5. The dutch angle is a hallmark of authenticity 6. It is a jpg straight out of the camera Sadly it was taken with a manual lens and as such remains ethically dubious. Pretty Cool Name fucked around with this message at 11:00 on Dec 2, 2020 |

SoundMonkey posted:i'm gonna let it roll for a couple days out of swedish meatball desperation but holy poo poo have the food posts been delivering so far I'm not cooking them right now but here's my recipe Balls: 1 small onion, minced 1 egg 1/2 c milk 1/4 c breadcrumbs 1 small to medium potato, nuked until soft, peeled and mashed 1 heaping t allspice hefty pinch fresh grated nutmeg bunch of salt and pepper to taste 1 lb lean ground beef 1/2 lb ground pork Saute the onion in a little butter in a small skillet over medium until it's browning around the edges. While that's cooking, add the egg, milk, breadcrumbs, mashed potato and seasonings to a bowl and smash it around until it's smoothish. Add the meat and the cooked onions and combine it all, then shape into golf ball-sized meatballs. Heat a big skillet over medium with some canola oil and butter in it. Fry the meatballs in batches until they're deep brown all around, maybe 10 minutes for each batch. Set all the balls aside in a bowl and return the pan to the heat. Sauce: 3 T flour 1 15 oz can beef broth 1 c cream or half and half 4-5 dashes worchestershire Couple dashes of Maggi if you have it Whisk the flour into the fat still in the pan and cook for a minute. Whisk in the broth slowly so it doesn't get lumps. Stir in the cream, worcestershire and Maggi. Simmer for a couple minutes until it's thickened. Season with S+P. Add the meatballs into the sauce and simmer for a few more minutes to get everything hot and delicious. I like to serve it over egg noodles with lignonberry jam, but mashed potatoes are good too. Sometimes I add a couple handfuls of frozen peas to the sauce at the end too just so I don't have to make anything on the side. I don't have any fancy pics but here you go, I took this photo when I was making them once cause one looked like a weird little baby face with lego hair

A cat living a hard life on streets. Not sure if she's missing an eye or just sleepy. The house-cat deep in reverie, surely plotting a devious trap. An invitation to play.
