Ooo I don't suppose the Christmas spirit could inspire you to share those pintos, eh??

I love pintos and have no good recipe

It's a pretty basic recipe that probably could use some more fancy stuff to it. I'm not really good with proportions since I tend to just eyeball things but I tend to buy my pinto by the kilo and use a third of the bag of a time to a half. They're dry so you need to soak them overnight. So the magic happens the next day.

-Drain the water from the soaked pinto beans, wash them a bit and put them back in a pot and cover them with water. Add to this pot a large carrot and a peeled GREEN plantain. Make sure everything is covered by at least 1.5 inches of water. I also add 2 bouillon cubes at this point for flavoring. Pork is ideal but I don't even know if that exists. Anything will really do.

-Get that water boiling and then drop it to low and keep the pot semi-covered and simmering for probably 2.5 to 3 hours, sometimes longer if you've got a lot of beans going. By the end of this process your beans should be cooked, and the carrot and the plantain should be mushy. In fact mushy enough you can take them out and mash them (like you would do with potatoes) or just straight up purée it in your blender. You'll want add a handful of the cooked beans and the water to that purée.

I should add that by the time they're cooked there won't be much water. If you're ever low on water, everything should always have some water over them, add enough salted water, to keep the flavor.

-You should before making the purée put some bacon to cook. Doesn't matter if it's in strips, or if it's thick or thin or chopped up, the key here really is the bacon grease itself. You're going to add that grease to the purée, or even directly the beans.

-Add the purée back to the beans which will thicken it and there you are! Serve with rice (obviously). I also like serving it with the cooked bacon, the greens from a scallion, and cilantro because everything is better with cilantro. Traditionally you'd eat this with chicharron (pork rinds), a steak, and morcilla (blood sausage).

I'm sure there are ways to gussy it up but it's pretty good as is. It takes a while to get the salt and pepper ratios right but you'll get it soon enough. The purée should really be quite mashed. You'll get it perfect with a blender every time but if you've just got a fork it may be a bit chunkier but it'll taste fine.

I feel like they don't even write a story for the season, they just come up with cool scenes or interesting shots and figure that will carry them through a season.

The show always looks fantastic, but there is just nothing going on.

You guys should try living in hermetically sealed ideological bubbles, it's working out pretty great for me.

(I have a [1] Conservative friend and he's much too well-behaved to talk about his views. He asked a prof a leading question about the Laffer curve once is all I can recall.)

You can get idiots of the correct ideology though they will complain why don't people have some other country's flag on their fb profiles or even worse how can you sympathise with france when it did an imperialism? posts and they are every bit as aggravating as dumb anti-Islamic poo poo imo.

Has it gotten any better. I got burned by Coven and Freak Show, so when I haven't been watching beyond the second episode of this new season. It felt like more of the same flashy mess of a story from the last two seasons.

I think the current season's better than Coven and better than like the last 2/3rds of Freak Show? Like, it seems to be doing something way more consistent but at the same time it isn't really interesting. I feel like over the last two seasons I've just gotten numb to it.

Scream Queens is way more fun and has way less baggage, it's got that later Nip/Tuck complete lack of fucks that I kinda enjoy even though the last two episodes (I haven't seen yesterday's yet) were pretty blatant filler.

I ain't kidding about the pacing I have not stopped this it has been fifteen minutes. I fear that if I look up from my phone it won't be the same world that it was when I started pacing . I feel like I'm falling down pitching forward forever and I can live forever so long as I don't come to a sudden stop. If I stop posting I'm gonna die and I ain't ever going to die and that means I'm going to live forever .

Edit: so long as I keep posting. Hard to fact check your posts when you are undulating back and forth in a mad march towards the heat death of the goddamn universe. But that's cool. I like it.
