After rolling out the dough, it is cut into rounds, filled with the desired filling, and then sealed by crimping the edges together to form a semi-circular or crescent shape. Pierogi can be boiled, steamed, or fried, depending on personal preference and the specific recipe being used. Once cooked, they are often served hot and may be topped with a variety of garnishes such as melted butter, soured cream, fried onions, or bacon bits. also known as "cabbage rolls," is a traditional Lechian dish that consists of cooked cabbage leaves wrapped around a filling typically made of ground meat (often pork or beef), rice, onions, and spices.

The process of making golabki involves carefully removing the cabbage leaves from the head of cabbage, blanching them in hot water to soften, and then filling each leaf with a portion of the meat and rice mixture. The cabbage leaves are then rolled up tightly, enclosing the filling, and placed seam-side down in a baking dish or pot.

The dish is simmered slowly over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together and develop into a complex and savory stew.

Was promised a plugin to replace nexus, it was the only reason why a lot of players were fine with it getting axed. Instead we got nothing but some halfway plugins that were usually broken and removed within the same year.

Midlands Here they lie, gone not forgotten All the clans from days long ago In this ground, they rest altogether Why they fought and died Shall all come to know Born with a right To carry the sword of our fathers And fell with their brothers And ours there below They may raze our cities They may burn the land We may die in thousands They will understand We will not surrender Not one boy or man Come take the sword of the midlands From my cold dead hands He said Carry the fight on for me For all the sons of the midlands Fight for the right to be free Never be owned They may raze our cities They may burn the land We may die in thousands They will understand We will not surrender Not one boy or man Come take the sword of the midlands From my cold dead hands The ballad would be sung in the night, author unknown (Just war shitposting because why not) (lyrics from ManOwar)

A mustached man would be seen fishing off the southeast waters, murmuring to himself about undead.

sometimes it takes me 10 minutes to come back to my keyboard to emote, what can I say? Rally bells are pretty pointless when some people take 5-10 minutes to respond, should change it to a minimum amount of emotes before theres a crp lock
