someone save me

[alexseanchai]

me: *dumps canned roast beef in broth, garlic, dried onion, frozen peas, frozen carrots, brown sugar, Worchestershire, and A-1 (ETA: and water and a bit of cornstarch, bc the broth mostly boiled off & then the sauce needed thickened) in a frying pan 'cause those are all ingredients on hand and the combo sounds tasty to serve over rice*

me: …

me: I am contocting.

me: I have become my mother.

You have not. I do believe we've read enough about your mother that I can say this with confidence.

[alexseanchai]

…fair enough

brains though

(also yes it is tasty, though a bit dry—probably bc canned roast beef—and it could do with more sauce)

[conuly]

Brains are tasty? Are you saying you've turned into a zombie? That's still preferable.

[alexseanchai]

I mean I didn't crawl out of bed till 11:30a and I haven't stopped yawning so zombie is plausible

[peoriapeoriawhereart]

I don't have a zombie Napoleon icon, and your interrogative makes me feel that as a lack.

[pauamma]

What conuly said.

That's not becoming your mother, that's "I be enough knowledge and confidence to believe these things will go well together, and I intend to find out."

Congratulations, you're a chef.

[azurelunatic]

Exactly.

[alexseanchai]

p sure madgastronomer has opinions on the correct use of "chef" but I take your point 😸

also if either of you want some of, I put the rest in the fridge last night

[silveradept]

Entirely so, and I defer to the person who knows what they're saying.

[beatrice_otter]

Yes, this!

[azurelunatic]

Might be my influence? Because that's approximately what my something-in-the-pan is constructed like.

[alexseanchai]

😸

[chanter1944]

If it's any consolation, that sounds pretty darn tasty to me.

[alexseanchai]

was! (coulda done with less dry meat, though, and also more sauce.)

[sylvaine]

FOOD! :D
