Well, the stickiness of it isn't really relevant - it dissolves pretty quickly when you stir it in. I only mentioned it just to describe what marmite is like. A quick google says that miso or nutritional yeast are reasonable substitutes for marmite - it's really the flavor you're after, even if it isn't drastically noticeable in the finished product. In any case, I don't think molasses would be suitable.

You know you can still walk to the door without a path right? I mean you can see the door from the driveway, do you really need directions?

My mom never had anything leading to the front steps, but she changed the house around a bit since us kids moved out, built a front porch and walkway. We used to use the side door (right next to the driveway, but she removed that and built a backdoor that leads onto a patio. (Which made way more sense because where the side door was, with stair and all, blocked a big chunk of her driveway anyways)

>The Ukrainian people have agency in their actions. They chose their political establishment

The current Ukrainian government banned opposition parties and media when they were installed 8 years ago with the US help (our heads of state are on a leaked phone recording where they are discussing who to install after the coup).

Also half of the country has been actively fighting against the coup government since it was installed. So while you say "Ukrainians are defending their country".... you are only talking about a small portion of them. The other half have been under attack for quite some time.

None of this is "propaganda" (I know you propagandists LOVE to dismiss anything inconvenient as "Russia propaganda"....it's ridiculous). This is basic undisputed history. A year ago no academic would have ever questioned these facts of the situation.

Just go look at articles about Ukraine from a couple years ago. It has been widely known as an authoritarian right wing regime for MANY YEARS at this point. Also EXTREMELY corrupt, one of the most corrupt in all of europe (THERE IS A REASON THEY WERE NEVER ACCEPTED TO NATO).

You just keep spewing war propaganda while casually ignoring all of the very long and established history of the situation.

You are deeply dishonest. Just endless lies and covering for the war machine and our proxy war as you push state propaganda.

More what about

> SPOILERS, UKRAINE IS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES. WE BACKED A COUP AND HELPED THEM INSTALL THEIR CURRENT RIGHT WING AUTHORITARIAN REGIME.

Should be easy for Russia to walk in and remove an unpopular, foreign placed regime. Oh wait, the population has supported the current political establishment in Ukraine with armed resistance to the invaders. You've eaten Russian propaganda in your rush to "America bad."

The Ukrainian people have agency in their actions. They chose their political establishment and they are defending their country. We are doing the right thing by supporting them and I hope we send more aid.

I'm done, god speed on being such a contrarian that you oppose helping people defend themselves against a hostile invasion.

BLM and TOS was all I listened to when I lived in New Gloucester. We strong some speaker wire across the roof and it all came in real clear. Sometimes we could even get the Colby student station. Those were the days.

Not really Gordon Ramsey that started it. It's an old British origin dish, and if we were in Britain, we'd be calling what we eat cottage pie, because in Britain, shepherd's pie is made with lamb. Since we're not in Britain, we can all just call it whatever we want and no one needs to tell Gordon anything about it.

You're very welcome! I highly encourage you to try to find some marmite - it's a yeast extract, comes in a small jar, and is very sticky. I don't much care for marmite myself (my husband puts it on toast) but you don't really taste the marmite itself in the recipe. I think it's doing a lot of work that salt would normally do, so if you can't find any marmite, you'll definitely want to taste the meat mixture and add salt as needed.

I hope you enjoy it!
