I know someone who uses a lot of this.


90% of the time I like my coffee 100% black.

Black coffee is coffee wasted, as far as I'm concerned. I prefer sugar, but it's not vital. Milk or cream is.

Ha ha ha, ya pansy.

What next, only drink 20 year old scotch if mixed with coke a cola?

Nah, Scotch I take neat. But I don't think anyone who doesn't is a pansy, maybe they just prefer how it tastes on the rocks or with a dash of water?

Anyone drinking 20 y/o Scotch with cola is tragically misguided, not less of a man.

Oh, I don't like scotch either. Ew.


And also skimmed milk isnt all to nice either. Its so watery! Organic whole milk is the creamiest and best tasting.
I'm never going to give up whole milk, I don't care how fat I get.

pani puris are amazing! I recommend everyone to have one. It'd be really easy to get a hold of them. Just go to some asian area

Yeah, unfortunately this isn't really easy, or even at all possible here.

Sucks to be you.

I would like my own kitchen for Yule. >.<

Genuinely thought you meant the Yule ball from harry potter. Not sure whether thats good or not.

Nah, Scotch I take neat.

You and me too, and coffee is much the same, if you really want to savor the coffeeness of it then neat it is.

I agree with you Nitya on the milk, I tried using 2% for a long while because of the supposed benefits but today I don't drink nearly as much as I used to, so having a nice rich milk when I really want a glass is where it's at.

Yeah, whole milk is where it's at. I use almond milk for protein shakes since I can't really tell the difference, but otherwise gimme the full whack of fat in my milk.

I think Ive tracked down my current addiction to cracked black pepper.

It's one thing to read people say you need more of something, but quite a different thing to crave it first.

I put cracked black pepper in almost everything... except my coffee. My first waking back in FM. I didn't feel like waiting for the cafetera so I made a cup in the Keurig using Folger's Black Silk. Tomorrow I'll wait. A month of nothing but homebrewed espresso twice each day has spoiled me. For the good.

Same. I have black pepper powder too, usually use both.

Burgers

I'm having pizza for lunch today, and it'll be the 4th time this week that I will've had pizza. I also had burger king for dinner last night. And yet, somehow, I've lost weight this week. I now weigh less than I have at any point since I was about 19 or 20.

I have a pound of hamburger that needs to be used so I'll probly us it tonight somehow.

I have a huge bag of precooked frozen jumbo shrimp, I bought them to use in salads but maybe I'll try something else with them tomorrow. 

It's nummy-licious ...

It's good. =)


And, I got some instant coffee. The Keurig here isn't good. I don't like it anymore. And not just because the k-cup selection is macadamia nut and blueberry muffin. It's lame.


EDIT: Fixed the bad "quote" tags ...

I've been preaching this for years. Good instant is where it's at.

I dunno; good espresso is pretty damn good ...

One of these:

about $7 at the supermarket or on ebay

and some of this:


about $3

and add some of this:


About $2

and you won't know what hit you.

Strange to think that a cheap basic generic would beat out all the major brands by a long mile, but maybe that's why it is no longer available?

There is something about the major brands including the one I use, something added or taken away that makes them less than pure. Folgers actually tastes like shit water to me now.

I think people have just gotten used to drinking awful coffee thanks to Starbucks & Dunkin Donuts, so now everyone else is trying to make their coffee taste like one or the other.

I've been preaching this for years. Good instant is where it's at, when espresso isn't available.

Fixed.

I don't drink coffee

Fixed.

... agreed; Zoomie's shown me the light!

OMG I love these frozen shrimp. but I haven't yet come up with an idea for a real meal from them.

Just been thawing them out and using them like snacks.

I really like Blue Diamond wasabi & soy sauce almonds.

Dude I got bored and ate a whole can last week and was sick for two days after.

They're still really good though ...

I did that with feta once. Haven't been able to stomach it since.

Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

Lightly saute the shrimp in real butter, with crushed/minced garlic, and Chachere's ~ set aside.

Use the canned Alfredo sauce, Bertoli's is okay, there's another that we're out of, but I'll be replacing it real soon and will tell you the brand,
WITH:
a cup of cream
Italian seasonings
garlic powder
a cup of shredded parmesan cheese

Simmer while you boil and drain the fettuccini noodles,
add the shrimp to the sauce,
ladle over noodles,
and enjoy!

You can do Shrimp Scampi for finger-food/nibbling.
