Thank you! I’m looking forward to trying it out, and I definitely will try roasting a duck as soon as the weather gets a little less hot where I am. I don’t like balsamic, so I’m thinking of trying with soy instead? Not sure how it will affect the flavor profile, I might be better off doing a mix of hoisin sauce and rice wine vinegar or similar to still capture the sweet/acid rather than going salty instead.

Do you have a recipe for the Parmesan garlic pasta?

Chicken marsala pappardelle! Super tasty and surprisingly quick and easy. https://www.saltandlavender.com/chicken-marsala-pasta/

Just skip the 1/4tsp of garlic powder, it shouldn’t suffer for that. Odd tip, I found the marsala wine in the baking isle of the grocery store of all places.

Beehaw has a strict no hate speech policy and the mods aren’t afraid to put their foot down when people are sort of toeing the line about being a terrible person. That’s my instance and I’m very proud of it and it’s mod team. Sounds like it would be a good fit for you, too. Also, even if you don’t get an account there, you may be happy hanging out on the communities they host. Here’s a link to the mods describing their philosophy. https://beehaw.org/post/107014

Yep! I’m honestly loving the chaos. It’s been really interesting to see all of the organic growth happening at such a visible rate.

I don’t expect the duplication to be too much more of an issue here than Reddit. The only big difference is that duplicate forums can have the same name here. I mean, how many meme subreddits were there? At least for me on beehaw, when I search for communities it shows how many subscribers there are. In this period of rapid growth, it’s certainly a bit of a crapshoot and you may need to regularly search communities to see if any take off, but I expect in the next month or so, some communities will become large and their duplicates will pretty clearly die, just like with Reddit.
