Like I buy Nescafe instant coffee, it's not what I normally drink in the morning but it has a variety of other uses. On the label it says, "Made from 100% select coffee beans." What does that even mean? What are select coffee beans? If the lowest tier of coffee uses "select" coffee beans what happens to the non-select coffee beans?

bonus chocolate coffee protein smoothie recipe:

2 scoops chocolate protein powder (you can use vanilla as well if you also add the next ingredient)

1 tbsp of cocoa powder - not like nesquik, 100% cocoa, the baking kind (optional if you use chocolate protein powder but still great to add)

1/2 cup fat free greek yogurt (optional but i like to add it)

1 tbsp instant coffee

1 cup of milk (rough measurement, you might need to add more to get it to blend smooth) - i like using real milk here but i've used almond milk too and it works good

ice cubes for texture

(optional) frozen fruit - i've done strawberries and bananas and both are good

!goyslopenjoyers run, don't walk to maccas for the Surf & Turf burger. The west may have fallen but goyslop is healing. The days of "healthy" offerings are hopefully behind us, and no longer will we be sold grilled chicken wraps and other hippy garbage.

This burg is peak slop, pinnacle of American innovation. TWO beef patties on a classic bun sandwiching a fish filet, pickle and cheese.

The placement of the patties both above and below the fish was a brilliant move (my burg differed from the one pictured). The pickles add a much needed tang to the fish, which is in itself delectable. Finished off with a garnish of ketchup and mustard, who could possibly ask for more? It's the first time in ages a maccas burg left grease on my fingers. 11/10

Chick-fil-a is literally the most overrated restaurant ever in my opinion. I have been multiple times and never been impressed, and I have nothing wrong with chicken, fries, etc. Everyone acts like it's the best place ever and it's really just… not. I've tried the waffle fries and they were lukewarm and nothing special, and the chicken sandwiches have all just been bleh.

Edit: for everyone saying “What are you comparing it to?” Popeyes is way better

If you are too good or lazy to RTFA then you a should send me some DC. (100 will suffice)

This is somewhat similar to how my mom would make it when I was a kid. It isn't trying to be "authentic" to any style of chili it's just a bunch of good tasting things thrown into a pot. All of the ingredients are things you would be able to find in a midwestern grocery store. It can be made in one pot and has about 20 minutes of active cooking time and makes a shitload of servings, like 8-10.

1 onion (yellow or white it doesn't matter)

pepper(s) of choice - This is an open ended recipe, there's a lot of room for changes based on your tastes. I personally do 1 green pepper and 1 jalapeno but you can use whatever you want at whatever spice level

1 lb ground beef - replace with 1-2 additional cans of beans to make it vegetarian (85/15 or 90/10, 80/20 is too fatty imo)

2 28 oz cans of diced fire roasted tomatoes (get something of decent quality, Muir Glen is widely available and decent, stay away from like Hunts or store brand they're noticeably lower quality)

2 cans of beans, undrained (whatever you like, I do kidney and black, you can also leave the beans out entirely if you want to and replace them with another pound of beef)

1 can beer, porter or stout - optional (Guinness is my default choice)

chicken stock - replace with vegetable stock or even just water to make it vegetarian (if I use beer I find the liquid level is adequate, if I don't I add a bit of chicken stock to thin it out a bit)

4 cloves chopped garlic (adjust to your tastes)

tomato paste

a few squares of dark chocolate - optional

spices - imo the only "essential" spices are chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. I also add cayenne, oregano, and garlic powder. Use whatever you want. I add an absolute shitload of chili powder, I make this a lot and I have never thought at the end "I used too much chili powder."

toppings - I like fritos, cheese, sour cream, and pickled onions. Sometimes I eat it over cornbread

Brown the beef with some olive oil. I add some chili powder and cumin near the end. I have no idea if this does anything but it makes me feel better.

Set the beef aside, add more oil if necessary, and fry the onions and peppers for 5-7ish minutes. Add some salt to get them to release their moisture faster.

Near the end of frying the vegetables add the garlic and tomato paste and fry another minute or so.

Add the beef back in with all of the other ingredients and bring it up to a boil. This is where you can take a first pass at seasoning. Once it's boiling reduce the heat and let it simmer for at least half an hour (more is better).

When you're about ready to eat it give it a taste and add salt or other seasonings as needed (I always add more chili powder).

No coffee instant type II :(

We are all going to eat AI steaks soon anyway.

(It's Midjourney 6 I am told)

So the hole doesn't die.

I'm still learning how to cook with the wood stove. It's a learning curve so not my best pizza. My dough didn't rise perfectly either, but still tasty.

i used an entire onion this time and some apple cider vinegar since it didn't have enough acid last time. MUCH better now

i also let it marinate for over an hour

!enemiesofjan

Had to use sourdough bread since 0.5 lb beef doesn't fit on a normal bun.

Top-Down Order: bread, grilled chopped onions, grilled chopped jalapeños, shredded cheddar, seasoned beef, guacamole, Trader Joe's secret sauce, bread

Post bird.

Or really any of your food for Thanksgiving here.
