  • you can use whatever part of the chicken although legs will be less prone to dry. but this is all up to your ability in front of the fires.

    then it’s tomatoes (I like san marzano, but also ripe cherry tomatoes as in your dish is fine I think) and tomato sauce (try to find some that has the right amount of “water” in it, saying not too much tomato pulp).

    then olives, capers (it’s a harsh debate between in vinegar - salamoia- or salted; il leave it to you. if you choose salted, they’re gonna be really salted, keep this in mind), fresh basil, spicy peppers, oregano. and my personal taste is garlic. all of this with the best olive oil you can find. obv, salt.

    so you peel and just break a little the garlic and let it go in a pan with more warm than hot oil, just to release garlic’s first odor. then it’s literally all of the other ingredients together. you may want to heat a bit the tomato sauce and slightly cut the ripe tomatoes before adding the rest. thermal shock it’s important. be wary for the sauce not being, as i said, too watery or too dry, because that’s what going to cook the chicken and soak it. you’re going, after the very first minute or two, to low the fires, cover the pan and let it go, slowly. this is going to take the time it takes, depending on the water in tomato sauce, and general equilibrio of cooking of chicken and tomato sauce so to say. if it’s too dry, adding water may limit your access to italian soil for a few years. just don’t tell anyone, if you do it. not even your spouse. result is not guaranteed, this way.

    for the quantities, I’m sorry but it’s all in the eye, I cannot be precise. there should be oil in that pan, abundant so to say. tomato sauce should be enough to cover the bottom of the pan and a small part of the chicken. don’t overdo with basil, oregano and capers. I like basil after the cooking, when the pan cools down, covered. taste it before adding salt, you may prefer small grained salt to fix it eventually; anyway wait for the capwrs to release their salt before adding more salt. stir it gently and often, use a spoon to bring sauce on chicken, you know the usual things.

    as a plus you may cut slices from a loaf of bread, and use it to consume the tomato sauce.

    lastly this is one of the very many recipes you’ll found about this dish if you talk to italian people. it’s my favorite one though.

    very last, red wine or a solid stout, if you drink alcohol. water is absolutely fine with it.

    ps. feel free to ask, it’s late and I’m sleepy. could have missed, misspelled, etc. thank you


  • it looks very fine, and I hope it’s as good as it looks. bravo.

    now.

    ok. how to put this. well. hm hhhmm. let’s see. uhm. oh yes. soooo… pollo alla cacciatora it’s a recipe diffused all over Italy, because all of the main default ingredients are definitely common and I’d dare to say near ubiquitous in Italian primo and secondo dishes. for this reason, both recipe and name may vary not only region by region, but by very smaller units, like small towns distant 10 km from each other (not necessarily in a straight line).

    that said, I admit i could very well be ignorant about this, so I messaged a few people from north to south, just to be sure you know, but NOBODY reacted with less than astonished surprise (to put it lightly), but we may all be wrong for the aforementioned reasons, I don’t think someone involved also their granma you know due to the late hour, but pasta isn’t going to get it’s way into the dish.

    source: I’m Italian. and I repeat I may be very well wrong.

    wish you the very best




  • good. article upvoted. as are also good curly braces after if/else. too many times I’ve seen if/else without curly braces. why I should carefully read tens of loc, to find ifs? why can’t I find it at a glance, quickly scrolling the file? y do i have to read the line horizontally too to understand if the instruction is there or in the following line? why do I HAVE to add the curly braces to fix stuff? juniors get arty with this “feature” and unwrapping their logic becomes a real pain: but it looks so good!






  • on mac i can’t honestly argue about anything. apple policies, practices, hw, sw, services, etc. are something i try to stay as far away as possible. dunno if it’s still the same, but as an example VLC on mac was practically nothing and broken compared to linux and win version, because, you know, quicktime (or what it was/is called the native media player). also is it possible that mac makes really hard to access ms services (or that ms makes really hard to access their services on a mac? although they already make sw for that os… mmh…)? anyways, just for completeness, on win I had no trouble managing office (again, don’t recall what that iteration was called, but it was the one that allowed you to install office in 5 machines with one license) with firefox. have a nice day



  • i work for a company that produces dotnet software. I’m my comments you’ll find this, and that firefox is my browser of choice. so we obviously manage access via ad, we use azure, etc. . when it comes to develop Linux native code, i fire up my vm, and I can even use the teams web version on firefox (tbh, only chat though) , so

    In my experience, Microsoft services don’t work at all on Firefox

    i don’t really know where this is coming from. would you like to elaborate?

    the idea that ms is hostile towards its customers is so apple propaganda from some 20 years ago… I mean, a very old refrain… just please stop beating this now decomposed horse. had u written something like

    ms like apple like google/alphabet are private ruthless faceless us corporations, ready to suck the soul of anything that got one

    that, i could agree on. anyways, peace, obviously.



  • This is wrong on so many levels, I cannot fathom where I could start talking about it.

    • private us company
    • feeding their ai just to eventually negate myself the chance of those small side projects that pay small money
    • us company
    • chromium browsers
    • governments shouldn’t allow for source code, as trivial as it may be, to be centralized in another nation
    • us corporation
    • google (in my experience) devastating ux, ui, docs
    • go and try to use aws, azure, you name it services (this ip/fqdm doesn’t seem to be part of google services! would you like to try out or service? start with our free plan with the performance of a C64, and choose to upgrade whenever you want!)
    • us based private corp
    • chromium browsers
    • this functionality is now deprecated (rewrite all of your f**** code, you absolute dumbass…) Ugh…
