What's for dinner: Lamb Biryani - http://yasmeen-healthnut.blogspot.com/2008...

"Hyderabadi Biryani is my ultimate recipe for a flavorful rice. The bite of protein,the aroma of spices,the tang from lime,sweetness of onions and touch of herbs make this biryani a top favorite of my family and guests in any daawat. Two kinds of Biryani are commonly made in hyderabad, "Kacchi" and "Pakki". "Kacchi" literally meaning raw is prepared by layering uncooked meat. The "Kacchi" Biryani ,usually prepared by expert "Bawarchis" ,requires a thick bottom vessel for meat to cook through without burning and rice has to be precisely half cooked while promptly making layers before rice cools. I prefer making the easier "Pakki" biryani in which cooked meat is layered with rice.The following recipe is of "Pakki" Biryani."

It's been probably about 8 months since I've made a biryani and I awoke craving this. Hope I can find my saffron, it's been way too long since I've used it.
- Anika
This looks so good, I'm hungry. Your knowledge of hyderabadi biryani's is great too. Lots of other varieties of biryani out there. Don't forget to have this biryani with Mirchi ka salan (chillis melange) or bagaire baingan (aubergine stew) and raita (mixed yogurt) of course
- Aaman (Clone of FF)
Friend of mien was comparing biryani in India to pizza here. People get very passionate about it. "Hydrabad biryani sucks!" despite hearing about how great it was at work for about 1/2 hour the day before.
- anna sauce
I have only had biryani a few times, but I really liked it. Haven't tried cooking it myself, though.
- ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)
Aaman, that first part above is from the site, though I do know my biryanis since I started learning to cook them in '87. I always have mine with a raita and of course, the chilis because that's what I'm used to. I'm just more excited about being able to used vegetables and herbs from my garden for this.
- Anika
I love Biryani! I don't think I'll try making it though. There are so many great Indian restaurants in my part of NJ. Thanks for sharing! :-)

Anika, my first job out of school was in Hyderabad - lived there for about 1.5 years and had the most amazing food possible. If I am ever in your part of the US, I hope I can come make some Hyd biryani and Salan for you.
- The Fat Oracle
When I was at the Indian market and asked for the saffron, the guy asked me what I was making. When I told him he said, "Whoa. You can do that?" Yep! Been making it since I was 12. I think he fell in love with me. ;P

Since 12?? *I* am in love with you.

You should make charro beans, too. They're really good alongside them. http://recipeland.com/recipe...
- Trish R
Except that charro beans have meat in them.
- Akiva
I make them without meat. Just leave out the bacon.
- Trish R
I may take you up on this. I've just found that recipes that require dropping bacon tend to produce unsatisfactory vegetarian versions. Have you ever had a good BLT without the bacon? DIDN'T THINK SO, TRISH. DIDN'T THINK SO.
- Akiva
That makes sense but I didn't miss it. I also used a can of Ro-tel instead of the fresh tomatoes because I"m lazy. I thought it was good.
- Trish R
Actually, Rotel [and don't tell Rochelle but Bacon Salt] might be good replacements. The Rotel will add more substance [and don't tell Rochelle but the Bacon Salt would add, well, bacon-y goodness].
- Akiva
HOLD DA PHONE. I just closely examined Derrick's recipe: CORN TORTILLAS? WTF IS THIS ATROCITY
- Akiva
FYI: They're just as delicious reheated after being frozen. Not dry at all using the microwave.

Lindsay: whenever sketching generic faces, the face starts as an inverted triangle and the eyes appear a third of the way down from the top of the forehead; lips and nose appear below and above (respectively) a line 1/3 up from the chin.

The artist proportions were laid out by the Greeks as the perfect human, that's not being used here. This beautification engine, I think, builds on top of a previous study where some students tried to mathematically identify attractiveness. They had participants rate the attractiveness of head shots from yearbooks. What they found was there was a high correlation b/w the geometrically "average" face and high attraction. That "average" is based on the proportions of the di
- xero
stances between the individual elements of the face and their relative sizes. IIRC the software adjusts elements so they statistically/geometrically complement each other. It's not actually working toward a golden set of proportions, but a set of proportions appropriate for the individual as defined by the masses. I wouldn't think of it as "facial discrimination" so much as "deviation from ones potential".

I find that I'm talking more with fewer people; I sometimes miss the random interactions with people I don't know as well for the variety, but I'm still content with the closer relationships I've formed over the past year.
- Jandy
The experience for me would not have changed if it wasn't for changes in my personal life. For the last 2 years I'v been in and out of work so for small pockets of that time I've been able to use FF a LOT. What has changed now is that I don't get much time to use the service, simple as that. The main part that's been hit is participating in the threads (which I really like). Now, it's mostly looking at the top 100 best of posts, posting quick comments, liking a whole bunch of stuff and that's really it.
- Kol Tregaskes
And even this is hindered by the poor performance of the service in the last few months. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
As for this nasty threads, I've mostly kept out of them (with the notable few exceptions) as most of the chat goes on overnight (UK time). I tend to log in and find all these threads have come and gone and so pass me by.
- Kol Tregaskes
definite cliques are forming up, whereas previously it was pretty open from a social standpoint. this cannot be good. when this trend appears on messageboards and IRC channels, which seem to have a similar social dynamic, it usually signals the beginning of a slow death.
- Joe The Sausage
I don't think the amount of people are engage with has changed since a few months into properly joining the service 2 years ago. In fact it regularly increases in small amounts. What I don't do nowadays is search out new users and welcome them - which I kinda get a kick out as I like helping people. I don't have time to maintain my groups any more but group usage seem to have decreased a lot.
- Kol Tregaskes
Have other services taken a bite out of my time on FriendFeed? Only fractionally and most die out and I always return to "full" FF usage. I tried Facebook's friends list [can't stand the service], I tried Twitter Lists [only partly track a bunch of my favourite people on there now] and then there are the likes of Cliqset, Pip.io and the 101 other "FriendFeed alternatives" but the come and go in a blink of an eye.
- Kol Tregaskes
Only Google Buzz is eating into my 'FriendFeed time' but not by much. It's a cool service but it needs FF-like features to be usable.
- Kol Tregaskes
When I see a thread get out of control, (or spiral downward) I click hide, and read it later on in "Best of Day" - So FF for me is fine. I get from it what I am looking for.
- Mike Nencetti
I think I share less on FriendFeed (though possible high compared to a lot but that's always been the case). I still run my football/rugby/F1/big event live chats, which are the threads where I *do* join in a lot but I'm generally not interested in arguing so avoid it generally. And I have little knowledge of politics so I couldn't argue about that subject if I wanted to.
- Kol Tregaskes
I think, as people have gotten to know each other better, that there are definitely groups/cliques now that I wasn't noticing two years ago.
- Rochelle
The site's not as vibrant as it was; that more-or-less goes without saying, and Akiva's right in that the lack of new blood in numbers counts for that. That said, I engage more than I used to, and because I'm very much into pretty things - astronomy, pictures, architecture - the site is still great for me; probably more so than a couple of years ago when it was overflowing with tech news and chat which bored me senseless for the most part (I get enough of that at work).
- Mark H
From my perspective these arguments have always been on FriendFeed - I remember arguments kicking off since I started on FF and remember having to defend one poor user and cool the thread down in his defence - though maybe they are more serious now? Some people seem to struggle with getting their point over without causing negatively. It's a hard thing to do, and I'm not saying that I can do it, but it is possible if you stop and think what you are about to write. Don't write when angry. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Mark, agree. As a would-be photography, ex-artist-ish and general lover of art (particularly sci-fi) I love using FF to find new photography and artwork. Hey I wish I could be on FF all day, you know I would if I could, but I can't. This guy needs pay job.
- Kol Tregaskes
Right, I'm off to bump a few fun posts from the past and get everyone in a better mood - you have been warned. ;-)

The search is broken. Other than that, I think the problem with stagnation is more a problem of "I don't like leaving my comfort zone" rather than "no one is talking about anything I like any more on FriendFeed".

Compared to a year or even 2 years ago, for me at least, this site has become more personal. Just like the name of the site: FriendFeed. All this "noise," as some call it, is from people I call friends. I like my friends' "noise."

Looks pretty much like Friendfeed to me

Still not FriendFeed unless it auto-updates on new posts, likes, and comments

Someone just said its like Friendfeed but not an orphan like FF is
- Mark
*really* not liking the UI
- Jesse Stay
I just want to know if this thing is going to be like Friendfeed and do I want to do all of this stuff out my email? Also what are they going to do with Reader?
- Michelle
compared to pip.io's UI it's gold
- Josh Haley
Thats kinda cool.
- Joshua
From Kevin Marks: to be fair, Autofollow is better than SUL - the way FriendFeed does onboarding is good
- Mark
Like what I've seen so far! Realtime indexing!!
- Andrew Terry
Also if this is anything like Wave--::dead::
- Michelle
So is Google paying the FriendFeed crew a royalty on the design? ;) Looks great.
- John Craft
How will this work on my iPhone/Android in RT?

I can't believe how much Buzz looks like FriendFeed - wow

How do I integrate with my Facebook friends?

IS IT THE KWISATZ HADERACH OF SOCIAL MEDIA??

Does it use Wave under the hood?

I can't get to the announcement right now - is there a link for this wonderful new service?
- Justin Long
We're so jumping the gun :-)
- Ankush Narula
If this Friendfeed 1.5 at least we know its not going to be sold like FF was killing the service
- Mark
I wonder how many people want to spend more time in gmail. Not me.
- Jim Posner
As usual, Google's UI falls short.
- Akiva
do not like buzz in my inbox
- Justin Korn
Also is it invitation only like Wave at the onset?
- Michelle
No camera and no multitasking!

Akiva, exactly - I always hated the Reader UI, and this is mimicking that
- Jesse Stay

And the $-shot - realtime commenting

Jim P am with you. I hate email, truly.
- Michelle
I am sure there will be a buzzkill script out shortly.
- Jim Posner
Wave failed :(
- Mark
Oooh "@" addressing.... that's pretty cool
- Andrew Terry
Twitter didn't trademark the @reply?
- Josh Haley
I swear I saw this same broadcast awhile ago... some guy named Brett, or something like that..... I think the service was called FriendFace or something?
- Joshua
I only know 10% of my Twitter friends' e-mail addresses - and vice-versa - privacy here looks poor
- Ankush Narula
@at@att.com for example.
- Micah
@Josh :-D haha
- Ankush Narula
Naa, ~reply was invented by users,
- Mark
Yeah, can I have a Buzz conversation without giving out my email address?
- Ken Sheppardson
Josh, there's prior art for the @ convention
- Mason Lee
this thread is buzzin
- Mike Nencetti
Dave Winer is writing his report on this as we speak, complaining about it not being open.
- Mark
@Mike ZING!
- Joshua
Am I understanding that you email address has to be included in an @ reply. No likey.
- Michelle
So much for memes like #4wordsaftersex
- Ankush Narula
oh... yeah... I think @ uses Google Profile, not email
- Ken Sheppardson
FF guys are watching this and saying HOLY CRAP! It's Friendfeed 1.5!
- Mark
Does collapsing the "bad buzz" happen automatically?
- Andrew Terry
The whole point of FF for me is that I didn't have to give out my email address
- Glenn Slaven
Sweet, Google got the @ syntax exactly right, in my opinion. Unlike twitter's approach, this method allows for a decentralized user namespace.
- Mason Lee
Does this integrate with twitter?
- Jim Posner
It is FriendFeed!
- Jorge Escobar
@Jim I think their idea is to kill Twitter
- Jorge Escobar
It's Friendfeed more than it is a new Twitter isnt it
- Mark
@Jorge @Glenn @Mark I agree
- Ankush Narula
Thanks Ken. I guess what I want is it to look and act like Friendfeed, not buzzfacetwitterfriend or some kooky hybrid. I dunno...
- Michelle
The interesting question is : What about Wave? Don't they overlap terribly?
- Jorge Escobar
And once you have webfinger, the google "@name" (rooted in email), can link you to any service related to the user
- Mason Lee
Is there a live feed anywhere?
- Fee501st
Big thing for me is not shoving more and more into Gmail. I want Gmail to be for e-mail, Reader to be for RSS, etc. Gmail is getting over-weight.
- Joshua
Oh who cares about Wave
- Mark
my twitter graph and gmail graph has minimal overlap
- Jim Posner
@Fee501st http://www.youtube.com/feb0910...
- Mason Lee
Yeah, Privacy (giving out your email address) may be an issue for many. They should have considered aliases or full names with a different look-up method.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
From an old broad's perspective, Twittter is too easy to use, people like me like the simplicity of it.Kill twitter, not so much.

Well, if you don't use Gmail for email, then isn't it technically "on it's own"? i.e. you'll have nothing in Gmail other than Buzz stuff.
- Ken Sheppardson
Interesting that I can now post in the mobile version using my Google Apps id. I'm guessing that it's because I have a google account and profile setup with that. Works fine with my normal gmail account too, however, I cannot get it to work on my laptop with either Chrome or Safari via the gmail interface for either account. I did get a buzz email come through though.

The Yelp thing is really bad sometimes. And the system is gamed/abused tremendously at times. Really bad and makes me sick too Mona.
- SAM
I ♥ Mona.
- Louis Gray
Awww you used a heart! I ♥ you too, LG!!!!11 ♥ to the π power! (makes no sense but the π symbol is neato)
- Mona Nomura
That's why the notion of Yelp valuated at 500million is such a big huge joke to me.
- Mona Nomura
Well said Mona. Nice response.
- Amani
What's up, Amani! Thanks for the words. :)
- Mona Nomura
FABOULS post!! haha dorks.... they really screwed up. Wow, epic fail x 2.. Oh yea, and those ♥ are cute :D
- Susan Beebe
Ya and they're still sticking to the "We got hacked" story lol. Idiots. Hi Susan! Thanks for the words :)
- Mona Nomura
I Susan Beebe. :)
- Louis Gray
Um, what is that? :)
- Susan Beebe
Ppl should certainly be held accountable for what they say online. But why single out biz accounts. It should equally apply for all.
- Pavan
Susan, it's an apple! Pavan, my issue is with specifically media outlets.
- Mona Nomura
oooh an Apple, how cute! Soo I have to get a MacBook Pro Air to see it huh? I'll tell my husband we must upgrade asap! :P
- Susan Beebe
Pavan - Yes, everyone should be accountable for what they say online; however, we hold corporate brands to a higher standard as they make brand "promises" to the public, sell products/services accordingly, then we - the public- give them our hard earned money enabling them to prosper and grow. If a brand fails to guard their name (as in the case here) and then further fails to apologize to the public for the problems, then we should definitely remind them of their omissions and hold them accountable
- Susan Beebe
Well stated, Susan.
- Mona Nomura
Thx for the clarification Susan and Mona. I just have a flat view of individuals and companies in that both sell/buy services and products for what they deem is fair value; no party is doing a favour to the other. I do support Mona for calling their bluff. If you ask me it was stupid of them to say they were hacked. They should have apologized no question.
- Pavan
Fantastic! Left my comment over there. I think it would be hard not to agree with your position.
- Martha
A radio station using Twitter to post hate speech? Hacked or not, they should be doing a lot of apologizing.
- Mark Davidson
from BuddyFeed
Short answer: Yes.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
My biggest problem is because Tweets can be deleted, mistakes are erased as if they didn't happen. That's wrong.

My wife got to Trust Agents first, but she says it's about me. Tamar's book is on order. Love David's stuff and will eventually get to WWR. Mind sharing specifically what it is about Mitch's book? I'll certainly thumb through it, just wondering if it's a priority–my nightstand is higher than me. To this list, I'd add Brain Rules, Made to Stick, and a few other books that bridge the gap between psychology, chemistry and human nature.
- Barry Martin
I like "how to" books and Mitch has built a business from the ground up using digital media as his friend. So if you're en entrepreneur (who isn't, even inside a large company these days?) and want to learn more about how to go about making digital work for you, I would take a closer look. Hey, my pile is a mile high and I write all my spare time :D
- Valeria Maltoni
Valeria, what would you consider the most "timeless" book? I haven't read it, but I would expect Trust Agents to become a classic.
- Meryn Stol
Makes sense. Recently read Tara Hunt's book and I'm hearing there are parallels with Trust agents.
- Barry Martin
@Meryn - it is written that way. I like simple concept that are timeless. Plus, it gave me a chance to get to know Julien Smith (I have an interview with him in production on my blog).
