Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

  1. πŸ˜‡ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.

  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.

  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.

  4. πŸ“½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!

  5. πŸ“‹ Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/

  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 πŸ–) will be removed.

  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      SΓ­, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]

  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

I'm bad at recipes, I usually just throw some stuff in and add some spices, more if needed after tasting. This is fast in terms of cooking time, but takes some chopping. For two people, this makes 2-3 dinners or 2 dinners and 1 set of leftover oven breads. (Put the leftover sauve over bread slices, add some cheese, throw into oven until they look delish.)

Recent favorite; pasta with tomato sauce (Bolognese-type)

  • 1 onion (whatever color, I like red)
  • 2-3 carrots (more if tiny, less if huge)
  • 2-6 garlic cloves (more if tiny, less if huge)
  • about 15-20 cm of celery stalk (the green thing, not the yellow block growing underground)
  • 2-3 tablespoons of tomato puree
  • 2,5 dl of soy TVP (or about 300-400 grams of minced meat)
  • 1 boullion cube (veggie, meat, chicken, idc)
  • (1-2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast flakes)
  • 2 cans of diced tomatoes (Γ‘ 400 g, so about 800 g)
  • 1 can on lentils (whatever color, I like red and also a can being~390 g)
  • (2-3 frozen spinach cubes because is healthy)
  • splash of soy sauce
  • bigger splash of mild vinegar (whatever color, I use what I happen to have)
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • all them herbs and pepper (oregano, basil, marjoram, black pepper, etc.)

Instructions:

  1. Dice onion, put into big pan or pot with a plenty of oil. You might need to add more oil later on.
  2. Dice all the other veggies and add them in once the onions brown a bit. Spinach too, if you're feeling strong.
  3. Add in the tomato puree. Let it all heat up.
  4. Add in the TVP (or if meat, maybe cook meat in another pan so it can brown too?) Add the boullion cube and mix it all well. Now is time for the nutritional yeast flakes too.
  5. Rinse the lentils properly and add them in. Same for diced tomatoes and add some water into the cans and then the water to the pan/bot aswell. (About half a can of water per can.)
  6. Splash the soy and the mild vinegar, then add the sugar, herbs and peppers. Taste, add more if needed. Possibly might need some salt too, don't know how much salt anyone likes.
  7. Boil some pasta (choose whatever shape you like or happen to have at hand) and taste the sauce again before eating.
  8. If you let the sauce simmer longer it'll be better but sometimes you just gotta eat.

My grammar might suck, I can barely do understandable recipes in my own language. I won't take offense in further questions.

It's all clear, thanks :)

I get the "throw some stuff in" style. I do the same for lentils or beans. Just throw everything into pressure cooker (do sofrito first, of course), you can do the quantities by eye with a bit of experience. Get super tasty results every time.

For tomato based pasta I just use tomato sauce they sell here. It just tomatoes and olive oil, tastes amazing. Add some black olives, onions, garlic, capers and you're done :)

I think the store tomato sauce is perfectly fine, especially since it saves time. I do it from scratch, or from scratch-er really, just to save few more cents hah. I should learn to use olives and capers.. Maybe for the next one! Pressure cooker would be handy too, but I already have a blender and an airfryer and there is only so much closet space, you know?

Thanks also! :)
