For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.

  • Tomatoes are already acidic, consider non-lemony tomatoes next time if possible.

    As for this batch, both sugar and baking soda works somewhat and you can to both.
    A little at a time so you don’t change the taste too much.
    Onions are acidic too, but much less so than lemontomatoes, adding a bunch of em to the sauce can help.
    If you don’t plan on freezing or canning and you’re just making sauce to put on pasta or something, add cream to it to make a sauce rosée, it’ll mellow the perception of acidity a lot too.
    Or use in it a chili where the beans, while not chemically buffering the acidity like baking soda would, can help absorb some of the taste.






  • I can assure you that some people climb without being anywhere close to what I’d call “very careful”.

    To me, part of being careful includes not trusting any random unknown person or their gear.
    It includes double-checking the people I trust and requiring them to double-check me.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’ve met plenty of great people who were careful, safe climbers.
    I’ve also met a few climbers of a… weird kind, like it’s almost a caricature, but these people exist.

    Climbers who could barely tie a knot, climbers that were stoned af, climbers that kept using carabiners or rope that I wouldn’t even trust to tie their dog.

    Also: Even careful people make mistakes.
