  • My grandad used to make “Fricassée”, although his recipe has little to do with actual fricassée. Fat, potato, chicken broth.

    Toss some diced onions (and/or garlic) in whatever fat you’ve got on hand until they brown slightly or become translucent.
    Add potatoes (cut into chunks about 2") and water.
    Not too much water… almost cover the potatoes, but the top layer of potatoes should still peak out of the water.
    Mix in powdered chicken broth, I just wing the quantity here, aiming for a light yellow.
    Simmer and stir until the water is mostly absorbed and potatoes are can be cut easily with a knife.
    If potatoes look done but it’s too watery, crush a few chunks of potatoes and mix the starch in with the rest. Aim for a thick gravy.

    The fat could be whatever you got on hand, whether that’s butter, oil, margarine, shortening, saindoux, or leftover fat from some other pervious cooking is fine.
    Onions and/or garlic are nice, but ultimately optional.

















  • Aye.
    People are upset, I get that, that’s perfectly fine to acknowledge one’s emotions.
    Now what?
    The next step is reflecting on the failure.

    That’s how you learn from errors, not just in elections, but literally anything. It’s certainly more useful than pretending everything was perfect and there’s nothing that could’ve went differently, that’s just defeatism.
    Criticizing and reflecting to be more self-aware of flaws and strengths, to grow.

    Then you can make new goals and strategies for the future and kick future’s butt.
