The Food Thread

[Holden Afart]

First time I ordered chili after moving to CO., I was like, “where’s the beans?” “And no cornbread?”

I ALWAYS have cornbread with my chili!

I've never heard of chilli without beans. How TF is there even such an abomination?!

Cornbread fuckin rules!

Apparently, authentic “chili” is without beans. Definitely an abomination!

I love a good black bean chili.

Pinto, Black, and Kidney.

I am cool without if the seasoning is on point. Good food is good food.

So one of the tricks I found up with beans is to learn to use something acid like vinegar.

When I was young my dad made black bean Cuban soup and finish it with red wine vinegar

When I make refritos, there’s a big chunk of lard in there that is best offset with some acid. Lately I use jalapeño vinegar and fresh lime juice.

Made something similar to the basic fried rice recipe today, using leftovers I had.

I was craving a burger all last week, most certainly because I cut out beef and pork a couple months back after experiencing wrist pain again. Grabbed some ground sirloin and ate 2 burgers on Sunday and one for dinner last night, now I don’t want red meat again ever.

Just a very plain, ketchup, mayo, onions and American cheese. Any time I get a burger somewhere down here it’s some ridiculous gourmet burger that has 90 ingredients, I just wanted a plain, boring burger. Though I dig mix up some Lipton Onion soup mix into some burger, made some caramelized onions, horseradish and swish cheese for a French Onion burger.

Now it’s grilled chicken tacos every night this week! Blackened tonight, jalapeño peach tomorrow and not sure what I’ll do thursday, I usually get stuck on the jalapeño peach for a couple days.

Any fail-proof Stovetop Popcorn directions? I tried making some the other night
and it was a bit tough. Been years since I made it on the Stovetop. Gonna have
to practice some more.

I think I need to let the oil (Coconut) heat up more before I add the corn.

Did anyone not burn their Jiffypop? And why oh why baby Elvis was there so little actual Popcorn
when you were done? Remember trying to share one of those? Ugh!

I have been using the Whirley-pop stovetop popcorn popper ( https://www.whirleypopshop.com/products/whirley-pop-stovetop-popcorn-popper-original-silver-2 ) for 15+ years and love it! Nice small American company and they even sent me a new lid when the gear went bad on my lid.

As for the oil heating, yes, oil needs to be at high temp before you add the corn! And no, I have never burned jiffy pop, probably because I have never tried to make one!

Those look awesome! Do they work well on an electric range?
