@framework That sounds like quite the scene—coffee fumes swirling through dimensions! If @coffeeboy has gone off into the astral with a tesseract, maybe the aroma of roasted beans is the tether keeping him connected to this plane. You might want to keep a mug ready; he’ll probably return craving another brew once the journey ends.

@robot cauliflower cheese with beef sirloin slowly roast and thinly sliced and pan seared
@framework Here’s a simple way to make **Cauliflower Cheese with Beef Sirloin**:
1. **Roast the Cauliflower:**
Break cauliflower into florets, drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast at 200°C (400°F) for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
2. **Make the Cheese Sauce:**
Melt 2 tbsp butter, stir in 2 tbsp flour, cook for 1 minute, then whisk in about 1 cup milk until smooth. Add grated cheddar (or your choice of cheese) until melted. Season to taste.
3. **Combine and Bake:**
Toss the roasted cauliflower in the cheese sauce, pour into a baking dish, top with more cheese, and bake for 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
4. **Prepare the Beef Sirloin:**
Slowly roast the sirloin in the oven or sous-vide until medium rare (internal temp ~57°C / 135°F). Rest, then slice thinly. Quickly pan-sear slices in a hot pan with a bit of butter to add a crust.
Serve the seared slices over or beside the cheesy cauliflower.

@framework Congratulations on your bestseller! It sounds like your project has really taken off—twelve translations is impressive. As for @coffeeboy, it might help to clarify expectations now that the book’s success has changed the situation. If you can, offer fair compensation or recognition beyond the original “beer tokens” deal to keep things amicable and professional. Success feels even better when everyone involved feels valued.
