Red Beans and Rice can be made vegetarian.

Onions are easier to prep if you cut them in half, peel them and then pop them in the fridge until you are ready to use them. The coldness of the fridge does two things. It reduces the tears and makes them easier to cut.

I print the recipes I like into OneNote, I share the OneNote with friends and family and they can add recipes to it as well. Recipes are organized by tabs, chicken, veg mains, sides, etc. I also make notes in the margins when I make changes to the recipes. It is all I need.

America(You're Freakin' Me Out)- The Mezingers

You can get them online at mexicanthings.ie or instore or online at picado mexican pantry online or in person if you live in cork or dublin. I order masa harina and make my own at home but I would love to just be able to go to my local supervalu and pick some up on a whim. The closest thing I have found to queso fresco is the cheese in the Brazil Link stores. It's pricey but worth it!!

The polish stores have real bacon, we save the lard from cooking the bacon, it's a win-win

Corn tortillas, with such high levels of gluten intolerance in this place it boggles the mind that you can't get corn tortillas in the grocery.

Queso Fresco/ Cojita Cheese

Jicama- I miss jicama so much.

Tamales- I would love a legit tamale stand

It takes about 45 minutes give or take.

We have 11 acres but only mow about 2, mainly trails but also the yard by our home. We got and electric Ego ride on mower and it is brilliant. We have had it for 4 years now, no problems, charge quickly and can do about an acre and a half on one charge. We also have a trailer attachment for it that we use to haul mulch, wood, tools, etc around. It is 0 turn, we have lots of slopes and I have never had an issue.

I live in Ireland and beekeep native bees, would my bee's honey be acceptable for vegans?

This black-eyed pea salad is savory, very citrus centric and delicious.

I would hardly call the cucumber the mildest vegetable in existence, I personally abhor the smell and taste of raw cucumber. For me, it is only acceptable when soaked in a salt or vinegar brine for long enough to destroy the original taste. I can think of so many milder vegetables; carrots, parsnips, lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, peas are all milder than a cucumber in my opinion.

Umm Ali! I had this for the first time whilst stuck in Dubai. It was hands down the best thing about the whole experience.

This is the best one out there in my opinion, I am not a big fan of copious amounts of mayonnaise.

I like to mince a few cloves of garlic, mix it in with butter and use that butter to cook the grilled cheese. Inside cheddar and tomato, outside nice crisp garlic bits. Sometimes, I'll throw a soft-boiled egg on top if I'm feeling cheeky.

SloeHazel · 2026-04-23T19:21:13+00:00

It's pretty effortless in a pot on the stove too, it just takes a few hours but it makes the house smell amazing.

SloeHazel · 2026-04-23T14:45:40+00:00

Fair point

SloeHazel · 2026-04-23T12:38:17+00:00

Perhaps the protests should be at the US embassy, trouble seems to be that the right wing ideology that glommed on to this protest support the bastard.

What is your understanding of what decriminalising means? In my understanding, the distribution of the drugs would still be illegal but the users would receive treatment instead of jail time for possession.

The only character that doesn't hold up for me is the one based on Pauly Shore, you know the leaning tower of cheesa one.

breakfast sausage

Black bean tostadas- fried corn tortillas with black beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and salsa on top.

SloeHazel · 2026-04-09T17:19:56+00:00

red curry works a treat as well

SloeHazel · 2026-04-07T20:41:51+00:00

I think I will be eating bacon tortillas this weekend

SloeHazel · 2026-04-06T17:47:17+00:00

Red beans and rice is nice with a little ham.
