A light afternoon dish.

Since it’s always tricky to find free time with a toddler I did the usual cheat bought the pasta, and used frozen spinach. For what it’s worth they are “bio”. To not cut the sauce, after I cooked the onions in a bit of oil, I made a simple roux, with some flour and milk, then added the milk, sour cream, and spinach, keeping the heat really low and slowly increasing it....

Slow cooked beef with sauteed green beans.

Slow cooked beef with sauteed green beans. A cheap cut is always good when slow cooked, together with some light seasoning with paprika, salt and pepper, and with leek, garlic and carrots for some extra flavor. I kept it in the oven for about 6 hours at 140 degrees on ventilation only. The green beans were sauteed with lots of garlic and a touch of butter at the end.

Lazy Sunday means a slow cooked pork in the oven

Lazy Sunday means a slow cooked pork in the oven for 6 hours :P. Nothing fancy on the seasoning, just some rosemary and paprika (normal and smoked) with some onions, carrots and red bell pepper. I was out of garlic, so no tzatziki for the dressing, just some oven roasted potatoes with the same seasoning.

How to read metadata easily in powershell with TagLibSharp

Doing my quarterly phone image cleanup and backup on onedrive I noticed that the script I was using wasn’t quite consistent on the folder year and month generation. If you think of it it does make sense, since it’s basically doing a smart workaround on using LastWriteTime for its date source, but that isn’t always good enough. After some hours googling around (not yet on a ‘binge’ :D) I got two options that looked great....
