Thanks for sharing! These look very interesting. I've been looking into Chinese food for a while, but I'm also interested in Japanese and Korean.
My favorite place for Chinese recipes is Chinese Cooking Demystified . The Mapo tofu and Dan Dan noodles recipes are now two of my monthly meals.
And Pinot Blanc. Don't forget the Pinot Blanc
I love the icons! Congrats! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for future new communities.
Looks fantastic!
My experience making sushi is that it is very time consuming to prepare. The rice needs to be made in advance to cool with the rice vinegar seasoning, then you have to cut the fish, assemble everything (nigiris are easier, but makis/uramakis are a bit more involved to get wright).
I'm curious if your experience is similar.
Calibre is great for book management. I use Thunderbird for my email/calendar since I'm on Linux and have never even though of changing. Works like a charm and it does everything I need it to.
Other software I use and recommend are:
I lote it! It captures the feel of a mossy, humid mountainside so well.
I also have to say that the room it's in is incredible. It looks so cozy!
It does look beautiful! I didn't mean to discourage anyone from trying it out. I just remember hearing/reading that it is not updated very regularly, but hey, I used an LTS system for way longer than I should have and I was perfectly happy with it. It's not always about having the latest, must updated software. Maybe you want something stable, or something that looks nice and works. To each his own, I say.
I'm also excited about the Cosmic DE! My issue is that I try to not change my system unless I have too, since I use my computer mainly for work and loosing a couple of days setting everything up is more work that it's worth it for me. So I don't know when I'll get a chance to try it out.
I haven't used Zorin. From what I've read about it it's issue right now is that it's not updated very often. I think it's main appeal is that it has similar vibes to Windows, which makes it attractive for people who want to try Linux for the first time, I guess.
The distribution I used when moving to Linux was Mint, which is also a smooth transition from Windows due to its desktop environment. Also based on Ubuntu, but is updated more often. It also works flawlessly (at least in my time with it).
Right now I'm using Pop OS, and I'm quite happy with it, although I am experiencing some freezes since a couple of updates ago...
I just realized you answered my comment... Yeah, that is more or less my experience as well, but without the rice cooker, which from what I hear is very comfortable.
I think that maybe my issue is that I can get cheap and fairly good sushi ar restaurants, whereas other recipes or kinds of food are either not as easy to find or not as good as what you can make at home (unless you are willing to spend lost of money).
But you comment has motivated me to try it out again. I just need to get my hands on some good salmon and freeze it for a couple of days.
