Soup, Stew, Chili, Gumbo (Cold weather eats)
Ha, my wife randomly made that Hungarian mushroom soup for Christmas Eve and it was great. I always make a family recipe of Hungarian paprika chicken and this went well with it. Might be part of our annual tradition now.

7.3 million people make a living on TikTok? Doing what? Peddling shit we don't need? Fuck 'em.

Chili w/o beans
I did 3 of each New Mexico, Guajillo, and Ancho. One Pasilla, two Poblanos. There was no science behind that so I need to actually think about the ratios in the future. Also considered Chipotles, but ended up forgetting to add them. They are overpowering at times so I'd only do a small amount.

Chili w/o beans
Pretty simple recipe and similar to many I've seen. 4 lbs of chuck roast, variety of dried chiles...New Mexico, Guajillo, Ancho, and Pasilla in this case, large onion, sixish garlic cloves, chicken or beef stock, Poblano/Serrano/Jalapeno or whatever other fresh chile you like, salt, black pepper, cumin...whatever other spices you want to throw in. Remove seeds from the dried chiles, lightly toast them in the pot or pan without burning, bring some water or stock to a boil, turn off the heat and add the chiles to rehydrate for 20 minutes. Once rehydrated, add to a blender with 4 cups of chicken or beef stock and blend until smooth. The chile skins really ruin the texture imo so make sure they are blended thoroughly unless you like that sort of thing. Cube the steak and season with salt and pepper. Add some oil to the pot and brown on two sides, half of the total amount at a time. I've also done the whole piece at once and then cubed after it was browned. Remove from the pot. Dice the onions and garlic, add more oil and saute for 5-10 mins. Add the cumin and other seasonings of your choice. Poblanos can also be diced up and added here. I roasted mine, peeled, removed the seeds, diced up and added in the next step with the meat. Add back the meat, blended chiles, fresh chiles and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook for 3-4 hours. Season to taste throughout. Add masa harina to thicken if needed.

Imagine being stupid enough to buy into this farce. Mind numbingly stupid.

Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?
I turn my water off every time we leave for vacation. If we lose power during one of these freezes I'll be doing the same.

It'll be a miracle if we survive this bullshit. It's going to be nonstop for four years. But hey, the price of eggs...or something.

That's true. We have no idea how many volumes there are supposed to be with the information given. All we know is he's an idiot and flipped six upside down. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

It must be exhausting for Boomers to keep up with everything they are allowed to watch or buy. Maybe there's a spreadsheet to track it.

Me reading the second part. 'Lol, okay sure. Only an idiot would think something like that.' Me remembering who we are talking about. 'Oh yeah...'

Saw a guy wearing a Trump 45 sweatshirt at the gas station yesterday. He gave these people an identity. It's sad, but true.
