Coconut-Braised Chicken with Chorizo and Potatoes
This comes from [Food and Wine Magazine](https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/coconut-braised-chicken-chorizo-and-potatoes)INGREDIENTS
Chicken
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 6 whole chicken legs (2 pounds)
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 1/2 pound fresh Mexican chorizo
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 dried chile de árbol, broken in half
- 3 cups unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 pound baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Gremolata
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, plus sprigs
- 7 coffee beans, finely crushed (1/2 teaspoon)
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
METHOD
Make the chicken
- Preheat the oven to 425°. In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Working in 2 batches, brown the chicken over moderate heat, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer the chicken to a large plate. Add the chorizo and onion to the casserole and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, garlic and chile and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, potatoes and chicken to the casserole and bring to a simmer. Cover and braise in the oven for about 1 hour, until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the lime juice and butter and season with salt.
Make the Gremolata
- In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Make sure the cilantro and lime zest is fairly dry, but not dehydrated.
Plating
- Spoon the braised chicken and potatoes into shallow bowls. Garnish with the gremolata and cilantro sprigs and serve with lime wedges.
Gordon Ramsay's Stupid Simple Broccoli Soup
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large or two medium broccoli clusters (as fresh as possible)
- Salt (3 tsp.)
- Ground Black Pepper (4-5 turns on the grind wheel)
- Water
- Olive Oil
- Goat Cheese (2 slices per bowl, preferably 'ashed')
- Walnuts (about 5 per bowl)
METHOD
Cutting the Cheese
- You will want to slice your goat cheese at this point
- Dip the knife into the boiling hot water before each slice for even smooth cuts. Cut two slices of goat cheese per bowl being served. I like them about 5mm or so thick.
- After cutting, use the hot smooth side of your knife to smooth one side of the cheese slices for appearance.
The Soup
- Your broccoli is finished cooking when you can pierce it with little or no effort. Remove the stock pan from the stove burner.
DO NOT POUR THE WATER OUT!
- Use a slotted spoon to add broccoli to a blender but be careful because it's boiling hot!
- Pour enough of the water left over from cooking the broccoli to fill the blender half way.
- Add a pinch (or more) of salt.
- Use several pulses on your blender to break the broccoli up and then puree for several seconds.
Plating
- Add five walnuts to the bottom of a shallow bowl and then place pieces of goat cheese on top of them.
- Pour soup into shallow bowl around the cheese, not on it. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and serve at once!
Miso-Squash Soup with Sesame-Ginger Apples
This is from [SeriousEats](https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/10/miso-squash-soup-recipe.html) and is another super simple soup that is always a hit.INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 quarts plus 2 cups water, divided, plus more as needed
- 1/2 ounce kombu (approximately a 4- by 6-inch piece; see note)
- 1/2 ounce grated bonito flakes (about 3 cups; see note)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, divided
- 1 leek, white and light green parts only, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 2 medium carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 medium cloves garlic, sliced
- 2 (1 1/2-inch) knobs ginger, 1 knob peeled and thinly sliced, 1 knob peeled and finely grated, divided
- 1 (2-pound) squash, such as kuri, kabocha, or butternut, peeled, seeded, and diced
- 2 tablespoons white or red miso paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh juice from 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- Pinch sugar, if needed
- 1 large crisp apple, such as Fuji, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 large or 2 medium scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced on the bias
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- Shichimi togarashi, optional
METHOD
- Combine 1 1/2 quarts water, kombu, and bonito flakes in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a bare simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool for 5 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Discard solids and set dashi aside.
- In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add leek, carrot, garlic, and sliced ginger. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are glistening and just starting to turn tender, about 4 minutes.
- Add squash and pour just enough dashi on top to cover vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook until vegetables are fully tender, about 30 minutes. Using a standing blender or immersion blender, and working in batches if necessary, blend soup until very smooth. Blend in miso and lemon juice.
- Return soup to pot and thin with enough water to reach a pourable, silky-smooth consistency. Season with salt, add sugar to taste, and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, fill a medium bowl with 2 cups water and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Add diced apple and let soak for 10 minutes. Drain apple well, then return to bowl. Toss with grated ginger, scallions, toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Season with salt, if needed.
- To serve, ladle hot soup into bowls and top with the apple-scallion salad. Garnish with shichimi togarashi, if desired.

Hey everyone, just watching a very interesting history of Terry A Davis (creator of TempleOS) and around the 30 minute mark there is a list of questions Terry asked to God and the answers he believed he received. I took a look online but was unable to find anything. I don't suppose anyone out there has a link? I'd be very interested to read it. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I'm also interested in any links to the art he created (hymns, visual art etc).

One thing we take for granted in social media is that any comment may receive a reply from anyone. Maybe we should rethink that? What would happen if it were optional?
For example, for someone posting in "What's a widely criticized thing that you feel is worth defending?" topic, I am not sure that everyone posting there really wanted to start a discussion.
Having replies shut off might be frustrating sometimes as a reader, particularly when something you disagree with gets a lot of upvotes. But it would make the author's intent clearer. If you're inviting further conversation, leave replies on. If you're not, turn it off.
Everyone has the right to walk away from conversation. This would make it explicit. Maybe it would make heated threads less likely, since they'd stop sooner? It seems like it's more difficult to walk away when you're also letting the other side get the last word?17 votes -

Some of my favorites are:
git add -p *
This will go through your unstaged changes in chunks and allow you to stage each chunk individually in an interactive shell.
git checkout -p *
Similar to the above, this will go through your unstaged changes and allow you to undo each chunk. I almost never use Ctrl+Z anymore and go straight for this. Want to remove all of those print-debugging statements? Use this command to pluck them out one-by-one.
git commit -a --amend --no-edit && git push --force-with-lease
I alias this one to
whoops
in my bash profile. It will add all unstaged changes, add them to your last commit and then (safely) force-push the local branch to the tracked remote branch. This is especially useful when working with CI and you need to make constant configuration changes to get it to work. Yes, you could squash those commits afterwards as an alternative. But this is easier.
git rebase -i HEAD~5
(Change
5
to the number of previous commits you want to see)Interactive rebases are a core part of my git flow when working on feature branches. If a co-worker gives me feedback on a code review that requires a change to a previous commit I'll go back and edit that commit using this command. You can remove individual commits, squash commits, reorder commits, and so much more.

There are three platforms that I'm aware of that are included in the Tildes SiteInfo dictionary—YouTube, Vimeo, & SoundCloud—that support linking to specific parts of a media resource via timestamps. This is useful to reference a particular portion of the video/song during discussion.
It should probably be possible to automatically apply hyperlinks to timestamps in the video (link this) when someone posts a comment with a timestamp-like string inside of it. This would make it a bit easier to share and link to specific portions of what's being shared in the main topic.
This seems like a decent value-add feature for Tildes. Whether it's a good idea to directly edit the comment string, I'm not so sure. I'd probably be in favour of implementing either a post-markdown middleware that added an icon next to the timestamp, kind of like how external links on some sites are suffixed with an icon that indicates the resource is not on the current domain.
