Local pizza place near me has a pear pizza that carries the name of the restaurant (so they must be proud of it?). It is:

  • fresh mozzarella
  • shaved pear
  • caramelized onions
  • hot honey (I think this means honey with a little red chili in it)
  • pistachios

They offer/suggest adding prosciutto to the pizza (after baking), which we usually do.

It's damn fine.

I enjoyed it just fine. I enjoy open-worldish-rpg-y games.

I think Odyssey refined the mechanics better, but Origins was still enjoyable. One the post-main DLCs I particularly liked (which is rare for me).

I did not/do not enjoy in the least the modern-day story detours nonsense; I just sort of think of them as commercial breaks that I go get some water during and pay no attention to.

People who didn't like Ubisoft's turn towards RPG/open-world elements seem to have a more negative opinion of the game, I think.

Yeaaaah, I know people like them. It's the whites that get me...

I must chuckle at myself.

I am one of those extremely odd and strange people who likes very, very many things across many different cuisines...

...except eggs. Eggs and yellow Summer (or Fortune) squash.

EDIT: Note, I eat plenty of eggs in things. But, when I run into a whole boiled egg sitting in my food, or a fried egg on top of a bowl of bibimbap, I pick it out. Even more odd: I will eat tamagoyaki without a problem.

I can see that, I felt it just didn't have enough "oomph" or "punch".

Here are two versions, both of which I have made with repeat success.

Chicken Adobo #1
Chicken Adobo #2

On the upside, I was able to repurpose the underwhelming pork adobo into "cross-culture" taquitos last night. I shredded some cotija, gently reheated the pork, made some tortillas and then stuffed them with the cheese and pork and quickly pan-fried them, then topped them with a heap of pikliz. That worked well and was pleasing.

I’m in the US; the adobo I am trying to find is Filipino.

I have made chicken adobo (with coconut milk) many times with very good results. This last week, I tried the following recipe for pork adobo:

https://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Pork-Adobo/

And I was not very pleased with it. I thought it would be a slam dunk, but it just disappointed me.

Does anyone know of a good pork adobo recipe they can point me to?

I do not take issue with anything you said (your opinion is as valid as mine) - up until your last sentence, which piqued my interest.

You seem to be implying that Mr Singer's "radical ideas" are weak, invalid, or beneath consideration because our society hasn't embedded them yet. I would like to respond that I think the value of a radical idea cannot, and probably should not, be measured by how well society accepts it. For example, there are a some pretty famous, radical ideas from this rabbi a couple thousand years ago that have totally failed to be embedded in our society, yet his radical ideas arguably still have significant merit. I am thinking specifically of the radical idea of kindness and peace expressed in "turning the other cheek", an idea we, as a society, have for all intents and purposes rejected.

Otherwise, I would also like to remind you that the OP just asked for ideas that blew our minds. Mr Singer's idea, when I heard it for the first time, blew mine and I thought it fit the brief.

I probably did a dozen immoral things before breakfast this morning.

Sure, certainly, yes, I'll accept your admission at face value, but could you have done fewer?

How do you square "think of the children" and "let children have a childhood" ideas and "children under 18 can't make rational, adult decisions" laws with this?

I can't. I guess that makes me a stinking communist now...

You are (deliberately?) skipping over the part of awareness.

Take for example a person who is aware that they cannot act morally when making seemingly normal, banal decisions. For example, they may be aware that when they choose to buy a shiny new cell phone when they have an older-but-still-perfectly-working model, they very likely doing something immoral. Because they are aware of the moral implications of their choice, they can choose hold-off buying a new phone for as long as possible (a morally-positive choice) and perhaps - going a step further - even using that money they would have spent on a new phone to help another person in need directly.

Most people probably don't contemplate the moral implications of the purchase of a new phone, this is true and I accept your position this. But it is clearly not "literally every person" as you have said, since it only takes a single person with awareness to disprove your statement. I am certain at least one such person exists (even if anecdotally), so I rely on the word "most" rather than "literally every".

You've committed reductio ad absurdum.

Yes, most people are probably acting immorally and they are not even aware of it.

That doesn't mean it is a pointless exercise to identify the immoral behavior and strive to reduce or eliminate it, even if it is impossible to completely do so.

 

I recently returned from a 21 day cross-country ride. Lots of big sky.
