Now there is a chance that science is just a bit cocksure about things and is town, but it's unlikely imo.

Granted it is early in the day and as it gets closer to deadline, scummier absentees or tag on bandwagoneers will show themselves , I'm sure of it.

Anyhow, I'm drinking some coffee. Ate a jalapeno kolache. Downed some vitamins for meat maintenance, let's effin' go.

This is a terrible vote. Not just because it’s couched as gently caress, but also because it should’ve been IA’s first post. If he really thought Ref and I were different alignments, he’d have posted immediately Ref flipped, not a couple of posts in, after defending himself. It’s disingenuous, and it’s a faked read.

Some quick unwarranted alignment calls based on what little mafia interaction there is.

Ref/sci - I dont feel like both of these players are town but I'm on the fence about both of them and have no strong opinions either way.

I just ~feel~ that these two probably dont share an alignment from the interactions.


Bif - town feel
Hal - town feel more or less
Merk - null, but curious with that earlier Hal callout.
Sand - null-leaning scum with that defense of scientastic, but I'm finding that I often misread sand in-game

I believe you can make your own half and half by combining 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 single cream. Alternatively, you can probably get away with using single cream - I made my alfredo with heavy cream.

Yes that's exactly what Sci is saying, you already said yesterday that you thought him and Ref were different alignments, so Ref flipping town should've been all you needed, why would you need to all gear yourself up then first

For tonight’s dinner:



Chicken thighs (skin and bone included)
Cream
Parmesan
Eggs
00 flour
Shiitake mushrooms
Butter
Parsley

First, I vacuum packed my chicken with some olive oil and seasoning



I placed this in a water bath at 74C for 2h, then plunged into an ice bath



Meanwhile, I sliced up the mushrooms



These I fried with some garlic and chives and set aside for later

Then I made a ball of dough with 400g of 00 flour and 4 eggs



It was at this point that I stopped taking photos. I set the pasta machine to the lowest setting, and over a sweaty hour, managed to get it down to translucent wonderfulness

Once it was done, things kicked into high gear: I browned the chicken in the pan and set aside, and threw the pasta into boiling water. Then I melted a knob of butter in the chicken pan and whisked in a knob of butter, double cream, grated parmesan and parsley. Once the pasta was done (two minutes) I strained it and tossed it in the sauce with the mushrooms.





The children and my wife enjoyed it, but it definitely wasn’t worth the disruption to the Wednesday night routine... Next time, I’m buying the pasta.

I think IA is scum, but I don’t like this post:

Fingering Sandwolf for RF being NKed is very WIFOM, and then pinning IA because of how he posts about Sandwolf is too reliant on assuming Sand’s flip.

My feeling is that merk and IA might be scumbuddies, and merk is trying to push an alternative candidate while giving himself an out to move to IA if the wind changes.

In any case, I dont feel like I was gearing up. I guess I see how it can appear that way. But I mean most of my posts are like this.

yeah it's a chill game but that doesn't really excuse his or my point.

merk is saying he's barely interested in playing this game, that's valid to me

but he's also got this gutfeel case against me that he HAS brought up and voted on two days now

So I'm saying it seems kinda scummy that he allegedly has an opinion but also has no interest in actually doing anything with it

also, this is going to sound sassy and snide but I promise I mean it sincerely: if y'all are gonna be angry with me for tryna play mafia here you should actually lunch me today because like I said in signup post, this is effectively just mafia to me with cooking minigames. I understand most of you are here to cook first. If I'm gonna harsh the mellow here, y'all should remove me.

Alfredo night at the pig household.



Salt, white pepper, Fettucine (not from scratch but the fresh kind at least), heavy cream, parmesan cheese blends, bacon pieces (real), butter, fresh scallions from the garden chopped up, garlic, a shallot, and some scallops that I have pre coated with a lemon pepper compound butter.




Sliced up some shallot thin and diced the garlic.



Got all the stuff lined up and ready to go. Then i put the water on and started getting the pasta cooked, once the water boiled and the pasta was in I started.



got the salt and white pepper as well as the bacon, shallots, and garlic and started the butter melting on medium.




Once i cooked the stuff in the butter for a bit i added the heavy cream and whisk whisk whisk and let it simmer for about 5ish minutes.



Then added cheese slowly and whisk whisk whisk, i tasted and added more white pepper and salt here as well as adding bits of heavy cream at a time while whisking because it was too thick.



Once it was all incorporated and had turned into a sauce I plated the pasta and sauced it and set it aside for just a moment while I got some butter browning in a hot pan I had on standby.

I then seared the scallops quickly on each side and added them to the plate with some broccoli and scattered some of the scallions on top.



Final product.

Tried making the panna cotta!

First things first, laid out the ingredients. Gelatin, heavy cream, vanilla extract, milk, and sugar.


I put some of the milk in a saucepan and put the gelatin on top to bloom, as they say. Walked away for five-ish minutes.


Oh dang yeah that's wrinkly alright


Okay, cranked up the heat to medium at this point and stirred the gelatin in. Then, added the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla, and kept stirring until the sugar dissolved.


I don't have any ramekins, so I poured it out into some cups lol.


Stuck it in the fridge...


Had the leftover chicken alfredo inbetween. It was really tasty the next day too!


For dessert, I took out the panna cotta, which had been in the fridge for 6-ish hours now.


I put some blackberry jam on top. Texture and taste was really nice!

Steak Diane

Here is the steak I used, a pretty cheap top sirloin cut.


I did not have brandy, so I used some bourbon


I opened a bottle of wine because I realized right before cooking that this dish is not going to be my jam


Melt a massive amount of butter I guess...


Rock out with some diced shallots


Throw the fuckers in, brown them, and then throw in more butter (seriously wtf)


Finished product.


It was OK. Not really my flavor profile. It also didn't help that my cut was cheap and I trimmed no fat.
