Post from Chat GPT - Mushroom Gravy Recipe

 Here is a mushroom gravy recipe.

To make a lightweight thin mushroom gray sauce in a crockpot, you're likely aiming for a smooth, savory mushroom-based gravy that can be used as a sauce or topping. Here's a simple recipe to make mushroom gravy in a crockpot:


Ingredients:

2 cups fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button), sliced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons butter or olive oil

1 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarian option)

1 cup milk or heavy cream (for a lighter version, use milk or a non-dairy option)

2 tablespoons flour (or cornstarch for a gluten-free version)

1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional, for umami)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)

Instructions:

Sauté the Aromatics (Optional):


In a pan, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Prepare the Mushroom Base:


Place the sliced mushrooms into the crockpot. Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the pot.

Add Liquids and Seasoning:


Pour in the vegetable broth, milk or cream, soy sauce (if using), and season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.

Thicken the Sauce:


In a small bowl, whisk the flour with a little cold water (about 1/4 cup) to make a slurry. Stir this into the crockpot mixture to help thicken the gravy. If you're using cornstarch, dissolve it in cold water and add it similarly.

Cook on Low:


Set the crockpot to low and cook for 4-6 hours. The mushrooms will cook down, and the gravy will thicken as it simmers. Stir occasionally.

Adjust Consistency:


If the gravy is too thick, add a little extra milk or broth to thin it out. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Serve:


Once the gravy is the desired consistency, serve it over mashed potatoes, meat dishes, or anything that pairs well with mushroom gravy.

This recipe will give you a light, smooth mushroom gravy that's perfect for adding flavor to your meals. Let me know if you need adjustments or more details!

JVM Notebook: Basic Clojure, Java and JVM Language performance

"Measure, don't guess. The primary goal of all performance tuning exercises should be maximize the end user experience given the resource constraints." [1] "It isn't so much a "farewell to the J" as an expansion of the platform opportunities Java provides. Sun's investment to power ongoing development of JRuby and Jython broadens the range and reach of Java, as a whole." -- Rick Ross Overview and JVM Languages    One of the exciting trends to recently emerge from the Java community is the concept of the JVM language. These technologies are all that you would expect them to be. They are implementations of languages that run on the Java Virtual Machine. Some are newly created and some are based on existing, more mature languages. JRuby, Jython are two JVM languages based on CRuby and CPython. Groovy, Scala, Clojure are three completely new JVM languages that were created to add new language features that weren't supported by the core Ja...

On Unit Testing, Java TDD for developers to write

It has been a while, let's kick off 2017 with a blog entry. I have read and I am reading about four or five posts a day about unit testing. It really has been a long time obsession for me. I have moved past the technical and practical considerations on unit testing frameworks and done with the debates with "should you use Junit or Mockito or Karma?" I am more interested in the psychology of unit testing, who does it, likes it, hates it? It really is one of those easy to learn, hard to master concepts. For example, many many may play chess when they are young and can end up being horribly chess players most of their life, I am part of that majority. Unfortunately, I have never played chess and sat down for hours and tried to master it. I never see the common patterns or have a developed end game. I mostly just play with a knowledge of the basic rules. Following good unit testing practices within your software development shop is a lot like playing chess. It is easy to le...

Is Java the new COBOL? Yes. What does that mean, exactly? (Part 1)

"If you want to know the past, look at your present. If you want to know the future, look at your present." -- Gautama Buddha Java is the new COBOL, whaaaat?     If you are software developer that mainly writes applications for the web; even if you aren't a Java/J2EE developer, you have probably heard the new meme circulating the web and blogosphere. "Java is the new COBOL" . Most blogs and technical writers regurgitate that statement and follow-up by saying that EJBs suck, and some companies are considering Ruby on Rails. I didn't really think much of these posts. I get the impression that a lot of these "managers" don't write any Java or COBOL code. They are really not highlighting the seriousness of the problem. COBOL development has remained stagnant for decades. Java may see the same problem in the future. The Pentagon/DOD has a trillion dollar COBOL problem because it is so difficult to change their ancient infrastructure. Anyon...
