Sick for desire, yes. A good olive is like a cherry plucked fresh from a tree.
I found a simple red wine transforms your tomato base soup like nothing else.
I go carrot, onion, celery for base like italians, then add the tomato and other ingredients.
I've a very good Spanish friend who swears by grated carrots for better flavour and texture. I'm not convinced myself, but I definitely add celery and carrots in a bolognese.

As you say, red wine for both the base and chef. Both are essential!
 
Veering slightly off topic...
...that looks epic... thanks for the share! (The reviews are hilarious!!)

Erm. Oh. Something about SC being either great, released, dreadful, in permanent alpha, and erm, then something else about opinions being like hair-cuts....

(There, that should confuse or please the gods mods... ...hopefully.......)
 
Isn't that just a waste?
Next thing you'll be telling us is SC keeps all spent shell casing persistent.

Cool and looks like they went for the photo relistic look too, unlike SC.
When you load a misket do you have to do each step separately or is it juat one action?
It's an automated animation once you press the reload key...drop the ball and wad in, ram it home, stow the rod, replace the firing cap under the hammer and pull back the hammer. 20 seconds standing, 25 seconds kneeling.

You can however, interrupt the process at any time and half load. Fixing bayonets also takes around 8 seconds. They went for historically accurate...even a cannon needs 3 or 4 people to operate, there's loading, ramming, manual aiming, priming and firing...then sponging out ...or the thing will go off in your face when you shove the next charge in :eek: .

The realism factor works really well :)

Reminds me about time I got to shoot my friends cap&ball black powder revolver. Colt Navy replica. Reloading it convinced me, that practically nobody did it in action. More like shoot every chamber and then use it as a club if problems didn't go away with six shots. Process was like: hammer in load position, measure powder, place the ball, ram it with inbuilt ram lever, do it six times, then take vaseline and put that over cylinder holes (to prevent chain firing), now place the primer caps, pull hammer to full and its ready to fire. Easy enough in peacefull range conditions. Not so easy in real stressfull situation. And well for carrying it loaded, load in chamber eventually degrades. Plus shooting couple of cylinder fulls gunk the action. Had power though, hot load from it has about same punch as hottish .38 SPL.

I only have one question.

Why do the characters run like they are desperately holding in a number 2?

It's almost like there's a reason people invented cartridges. :p

He's right. onion, carrot and celey makes the "souffrito". If you grate the stuff it disintegrates faster in the sauce later. I fry the souffrito in a pan then toss it into pot. Tomatoes go on top, your pick whether fresh, concentrate or what. There is good concentrates out there, just don't pick the cheapest and then cook it for a couple hours. Mind the water level. Too few is bad, you keep ample liquidity in the sauce. Too much is not bad, you can always reduce by cooking it off.
Grated souffrito and 4 hour cooking time made a fine sauce, but Italian friend just sneered at me and said she always cooks for 6 hours.
 
Not a fan of shrimp. But yeah, rice needs some practice. The likes of me a rice cooker is probably the best solution.
As I recall it's important to hear the rice 'cracking' on a (hot) bare pan, before anything else, and then adding the stock as you go, letting it absorb before adding more.

Blimey, it's been a while... I must dust off that 'skill'.

However, tonight, I'm off to a very nice curry place, just round the corner... don't wait up...
