Self corn teened or bugged in already? Come hang out.

Making chicken vegetable soup with dumplings and egg noodles. Freezer & refrigerator is stuffed, as is my cupboards.

Last week I made potato soup with homemade vegetable broth.

Will get to baking in a few days. Would rather cook than clean my condo. Wish I could hire one of you who loves to clean and organize.

So six, yes , 6 , of my family are going to Italy. Skiing. Tomorrow.

Then after 10 days are off to Florida Disneyland.

They checked with embassy staff and they got told could travel no worries.


Thats the people who call me Old Uncle Doom.

And Florida is getting hit hard.

please be caeful outside, I use to go for walks, but started to notice the insane amount of SPIT on the sidewalks

you stand in that and you treading that VIRUS right back to home. Then you take your shoes off and its on your hands, then you touch your face and you dead

This is why pandemics are impossible to contain, no one cares until they get sick

Me too, isolation is normal. I am working on my seedlings for the garden, they stay warm in my room with me at night with the chicken LOL. It snowed again today, cabin fever makes me a bit silly, down to only two ft of snow, it will be an early spring. Enjoying my last bit of free lazy time, spring farm work will be sun up to sun down with the insects out in full force, aching all over. Trying to work out a bit each day to get in shape from a long lazy winter.

I bought red shelving units for the basement to house all my newly bought essentials, we moved in a couple years ago and never really stocked up on anything, which we should do in Michigan with the weather and power outages

I’m thinking they are pretty cool looking in red, lol

My freezer and fridge and pantries are all pretty full

Dice the potatoes and throw them in a pot of cold water, boil until they're soft.

Dice an onion.

Throw some olive oil in a frying pan, put onion pieces in, throw a lid on it.

Saute said onion pieces, flip them a few times in the process.

When onions are nice and sauteed (clear and just a touch black on the edges), add cooked red beans (I just dump the whole 600 gram jar in - cooking for a few people).

Liberally use Mexican cheat powder (burrito flavoring) to taste.

Finely chop a pepperoncini or two and sprinkle it in.

Add a few squirts of Tabasco sauce.

Mash the beans and ingredients with a fork, put the flame on low, stir/flip the mixture a few times until it is a nice thick consistency.

....

I'm still using pre-made burrito wraps (tortillas) because I still have them.

Heat each of them directly over a flame for a few seconds until they become soft.

Place them on plates.

-----

By now your potatoes should be soft. Drain the water, throw them back in their pot, add some Mexican cheat powder and a spoon of butter to help get it mixed in. Mix it all. The potatoes should be soft enough to fall apart.

-----

Throw the potatoes on top of the finished beans in their pan and spread them out so they create a top layer, grate a healthy amount of cheese on top of that to create a third layer, put the lid back on until it is thoroughly melted.

-----

Remove lid. Use a spatula to divide the pan into a number equal to the amount of burrito wraps you have.

Deposit each portion into a wrap so they each get an equal portion of all the layers of ingredients.

Wrap them so nothing will fall out the bottom.

Eat.

If you use too much of it, it does have a weird flavor aftertaste. The stuff I bought has a miniscule scoop, I think it's a 1/16th tsp, and when I use that in about 6 ounces, with those pie spices and the probiotic milk, any weird taste is masked.

I will note that it's not quite the same as sugar. It won't make things as sweet as one might be used to with sugar-sweetened items, at least not alone. But if you are off sugar, it is fine for making things palatable and mildly sweet.

So it's probably more to do with the amount used than anything else. Too much and you'll have a bad time.

Crap gonna have to stand in a fire
And dip my shoes in nitric acid
Wear fuckin condoms on my trail shoes

'corn teened, that's some funny shit right there boy.
Merica.

Swerve isn't as sweet as real or sweet and low either, they have confectioners sugar I make frosting with which ends up pretty good

Mexican cheat powder OMG

I'm a world traveler. If you read that recipe closer, you'll also notice it has Italian influences.

Sauerkraut Spam balls, deep fried, excellent.

SAUERKRAUT BALLS

Beat eggs with milk. Roll balls in flour, then dip in milk, egg mixture, then roll in bread crumbs and deep fry in hot oil. May freeze and reheat in oven at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.


Today IT officially recorded in my county,Volusia. BIke Week. I had promised myself to stay home except for dog walking after this big date. However, one more prep run for outdoor propane grill and a few groceries tomorrow.

Staying in will be easy for me. Have a saltwater pool. As long as the electricity stays on,I have all my preps for the pool. Also live on a saltwater canal and can fish and have kayaks.Indoor stoves run a huge propane tank. Have an inverter for charging electronics and running fans.


3 dogs, but fenced yard. In case of total lockdowns, I can play chase the ball instead of walking them.

Raised bed gardens and can grow year round here. Closing my airbnb apt and renting long term to ex military guy. Am 65 year old woman, good shot. bought imaginary holster for imaginary revolver with imaginary hollow points.

My wifelet was going to go into town Monday night drinking, we had a big argument about how stupid it was considering bloke from Iran with coronavirus had been wandering around our town for 3 weeks before he went into the doctors.

She texted her friend 'is this wise considering the coronavirus thing?'

She got a reply, 'Yeah I was going to say I've just come back from Italy, but don't worry I wasn't in an affected area'

I think she might have learned a lesson.

will saute onions & garlic when they're near done. a little liquid smoke.

tomorrow i make my usual big batch and freeze up individual servings for burritos. 1# pintos and a 5# ham shank to start ...

Face palm, lol

Did she still go?

Buy a fuck load of spice - garam masala, curry powder, cumin, tumeric, onion powder, pilau and salt and pepper.

buy a fuck load of rice and pasta.

buy plants of basil, parsly and pepper and thyme and chives and mint.

buy a fuck load vegetable oil.

Buy dried lentils, split peas.

And flour and salt.

With this and water and heat you have many varied meals

for the bread thread out there

roti

flour and water and salt thats it

and heat

and good flatbread - and if you wanna put peanut butter on it thats ok too.

you so lucky, stuck in a apartment in a small village, unemployed left for dead. Go out twice a day, garbage runs and school runs.

The rest of time, its me and the other guys
HI
Hello
Me too hello

hahaha just joking

Those sound oddly good but I fear the repercussions

The ham shank sounds like a good place to start.


It's a sad fact that absolutely no one outside of the American continents can actually make decent Mexican food.

I've been to dozens of "Mexican" restaurants in dozens of countries and they all fell short. So, I finally gave up on the restaurants and started cooking it myself, wherever I happened to be in the world.

Made a ton of immune boosting fire cider and homemade elderberry syrup

I just had smoked ham in green beans and taters while kicking myself for not feeling up finishing the fruit tree pruning yesterday. I wore myself out the last few days. Now I may have to finish in between rain showers. Spring is coming on way to fast.

No she's not going. Just goes to show though, you really have to look after yourselves in this situation. No one is going to consider you, even in a friendly catch up. Her friend did not think about us or our kids. Didn't even cross her mind.

You are so right on that, and that’s how most people think

My daughter’s mother-in-law is like that, she travels to Africa a couple times a year for a foundation she has there, always gets sick and comes home wanting to see the grandkids

Is it legal in the US for an adult to eat a corn teen?

Geez. I meant to say "not feeling up TO finishing".

i make decent food. i get no complaints when i cook for others

i'll soak a pound of beans tonight, rinse, then into the crock pot on high. 2 hrs later, in goes the ham shank until the meat is falling off the bone. i take the meat out then and add rice. once the meat cools a bit i take the meat off and shread it and put it back in ... then saute the veggies and toss that in ... seems to work. no added salt with the ham :)

trying the greek peppers tonight. surprised i never thought of it. i always have a big jar!
