@ Nairn
I don't know if you saw the sidenote in my previous kebab post where I said I wanted to try a different method, and posted the link.
This is that method (though a different actual recipe).
There's no going back now. And I don't think I can actually buy kebab from a shop again after this.
Also, dürüm this time for my main man pali.

- This is the way.palimpsest
- I think I asked you a while back if you'd seen this method, on Discord :)
I tried making chicken sis the other day. Was nice. Wasn't chicken sis.Nairn - Aaaah did you? I'll need to look back in the thread. But yeah, this is ... oooft. Yeah. Kebab.
I'm sorry about your not-sis, though.Continuity - I think I posted Refika's version, which I took to mean it was actually a go-er..
https://www.youtube.…Nairn - Nice work!! BUT... you’ve surely gotta heat that wrap up to give it a bit of a crisp?Ianbolton
- Also, my latest find is that Cornichons bring the whole world to life when making kebabs/wraps. Chuck some in at the end to find out!Ianbolton

"You're on a roll".
Which you indeed are. When's the book coming out already?!palimpsest - Yes, Chef!stoplying

making beats
Two new tracks released last week.
Both made using: Teenage engineering ko2, ENDORPHINE EVIL PET and the torso electronics S4.
- these are lovely. how are you making them?autoflavour
- So I have recorded lots of field recordings over time with a little zoom recorder. Use sample packs from multiple places too.cruddlebub
- The S4 is the last line of a daisy chain. The KO2 - into the evil pet - into the S4. I can sometimes makes 573 different versions of a track before I am happy..cruddlebub
- The S4, with each new beta or update becomes a new machine. I have always loved it. I mean.. I wouldn't buy it, sell it and buy it and then sell it again...cruddlebub
- Like mantrakid! The S4 is so powerful. You can do so much with a simple tiny sound or sample. You can use it a live processor. Loop. It's my favourite thing.cruddlebub
- The evil pet is stunning. And whilst the S4 does granular synthesis. The EP pisses all over it. The work so well togethercruddlebub
- Very nice, like FSOL making out with Alessandro on a Blade Runner LA rooftop patio setprophetone
- hahahaha thats a brilliant descriptioncruddlebub
- Feel free to quote me on that for your bandcamp album review feedback lolprophetone
- Lol will docruddlebub
- These are great man. Are they all played and recorded live? Are these up on soundcloud too? Thanks for liking my last track. They take me aaaaaages!Ianbolton
- The Samples from Mars sound packs are great. I could share them with you if you’re interested?Ianbolton
- Oh yeah that would be awesome! Always love a sample pack. Yeah all recorded live into a zoom recorder. These are on SC, I.T, Spotify toocruddlebub

Here's a note from Aquent's recent 2026 Salary Guide for hiring creative companies...
'From titles to skill stacks'
"In 2026, compensation decisions are not merely about talent attraction and retention but about funding your organization’s AI future. Companies must shift from funding static job titles to investing in dynamic skill stacks to translate their AI ambition into competitive advantage."
Reading some of these job posts one might find themselves sounding barely useful even if you come w/Figma, a touch a Webflow and a side of Rive while still skilled in the primary Adobe family of apps...
...time to 'get stacked', fuckers. <3
- Ups and downs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯OBBTKN
- Skill stack just reads like who is the most useful for the AI to harvest for their training data.autoflavour
- the theme of these i'm picking up is 'ADHD skillset' - 'Jack of all trades'.kingsteven

My son is moving to Ireland (from Melbourne) for 6 months...or however long he enjoys himself. Travelling alone...basing himself in Dublin then he'll see what happens. Has a permit to work while he's there.
He's into music big time...plays in a band so is hoping to experience a bit of that.
Any recommendations or suggestions? His Mum is worried sick about him travelling alone!!
- How old is he?
Read Surrender if he likes U2... great music book based mostly in Ireland.canoe - Also Trinity might give him a bit more of an understanding of the culture and historycanoe
- He's 22. Reads a lot...and has read up a lot about Irish culture etc.
After some practical advice also.BusterBoy - Man this sounds awesome. It's amazing to be young! Fontaines DC, Kneecapstoplying
- @BusterBoy, my sons are 12 and 8 AND dang I am going to miss those shits when they're older/mobile like your son...
...So exciting though; boy become man, etc.ideaist - Ireland is great and people are the nicest folks around. He's gonna have a great timeHAL9001
- what did you do? why is he running so far away? T_Tpango
- Expensive for younguns. Rent here is crazy.mort_
- My practical advice would be get out of Dublin, it's shite. but you will get that opinion from any old fucker thats from elsewhere in Ireland :)kingsteven
- Ireland is really small, you can get anywhere in about 3 hours by road from Dublin. I go to gigs in Dublin from Belfast and can be home in bed by midnight.kingsteven
- Ah Dublin’s home and I love it, mostly.mort_
- Thanks...I almost don't want to give him too much advice and just wing it. He can always come home if he's not having fun.
But I'll miss him...BusterBoy - Just remind him to test for chlamydia often...maikel

Ramen of the Day
I kicked off a very special ramen project today. It's got a lot of components, and the final result won't happen until thursday.
But it all starts with this here beef stock I made (just shy of 4 litres). It's got roasted oxtail, charred leek, charred onion, garlic, and ginger.
And it's fucking delicious. I'm off to a good start.

I can smell all this.Continuity - Look at those holes!

- Does that need any specialised crap?maikel
- O.o Allez ! J'apporte le vin et le fromage ...OBBTKN
- How was the crust, pups?Continuity
- @maikel specialised crap makes it easier, but I think not necessary. I bought some stuff in preparation cos I had a memetic response to it.skinny_puppy
- @continuity could be better. It was a thin shell that cracked - not the thick tough scrapping yr palate that artisanal breads sometimes have...skinny_puppy
- ...which pleased me, but also now made me annoyed with local bakers. But it wasn't crackly like I think it should be. Need to fine tune the baking process.skinny_puppy
- Frankly, I prefer a thinner crust. Call me crazy, but I kind of object to getting my mouth lacerated by a jambon beurre sandwich.Continuity

I bought a subwoofer. Why have I never had a subwoofer? I recommend this purchase to everyone with a stereo.
- Can’t do movies without one. I rocked a Polk sub for many years, but got an SVS for my new home and couldn’t be happier.monospaced
- Yeah, why did you never have a subwoofer? I'd rather have nothing else.

Meet Stomper
A one-of-a-kind plush mutant One-Footed Do-Bounder. Hand-felted & ready to cuddle. Stomper's natural habitat is the psychedelic forests of Brinkton Seven. Her fav food is peanuts, as long as they are not shelled... mostly because she's terrified of naked peanuts.

Some dude ignored my 'visits by appointment only' notice on my site, turning up unnanounced for an enquiry that could have as easily been resolved with an email. Turns out I'm not quite what he's after, so I guided him in the right direction and got him out as soon as possible because a) I don't like people turning up unannounced, but mainly b) HOW MUCH FUCKING AFTERSHAVE ARE YOU WEARING, MAN?! This was 15 minutes ago and I've opened the windows and stolen a 20" fan which has been on full-power exchanging the air in here and it still fucking reeks.
- An hour and a half later and.. I returned the fan and closed the windows, and now.. I can still smell the lingering odour.

Get a load of this filth.
I've been absolutely croaking for a really good poutine.
But there is no poutine around here, because Germany.So I made it myself.
The gravy is ridiculously easy:
A mix of butter and rendered bacon fat I keep in a jar in the fridge.
Caramalised yellow and red onions.
Garlic.
Thyme.
A shred of a bay leaf.
A bit of tomato paste.
A good heaping spoon of flour.
Make a roux! A dark one.
Add equal parts beef and chicken stock (preferably homemade).
Simmer until thick and glossy.
And Robert's your parent's sibling.Cheese curds were the hard part. Or, so I thought.
Germans wouldn't know a cheese curd if it slapped them in the face while screaming, "ICH BIN EIN CHEESE CURD" at them.But, there is a really, really fucking close substitute. Like close enough that I was easily able to suspend my disbelief:
Oaxaca cheese.
Which I *can* get around these parts.Same sort of saltiness.
Same density.
It even squeaks between the teeth a bit.
And melts at the appropriate rate.
Perfect.The parsley sprinkle is there so you people don't think I'm completely uncivilised over here.
Served with a side of hot dog.
The sausage of which was a Berner Würstchen, which is basically a standard hot dog that has diced up Emmental cheese inside the sausage itself, and is wrapped in bacon.I'm fucking happy.
- Oh yes, and a splash of Worcester and soy sauces in the gravy. And MSG. And blended it with an immersion blender.Continuity
- Having looked at Oaxaca - might that Turkish knotted cheese make for a stand-in? If so, that should be fairly available in Germany, no?Nairn
- I realise now from its description that paneer is likely not a good stand-in, from that time I tried to make poutine, if it needs to be salty.Nairn
- ..which maybe goes towards explaining why i felt itw as a bit disappointing.
I need to try this again, viz ze child.Nairn - "Turkish knotted cheese"? What is this of which you speak?Continuity
- And is it delicious?Continuity
