    I grew up with a charro style pinto bean, when I got into my teens I tried "BBQ" style sweet beans and thought it was the most disgusting thing I have ever tried.

    That being said, nothing like a simple pinto bean recipe for me. Soak the beans over night and ditch the water in the morning. Boil them until very soft. My Grandma used to mash them up a little to let the starches out and thicken up the broth. Salt, pepper, and pork fat. That's all it needs. We used to use them through the week. Refrying them, or just warming them up as a side. We would add them to tacos or just by themselves as a snack. It was a great way to add filling to a meal.

    Just finished watching the first part of Season 3 of The Witcher. It simultaneously feels to big and to cheap at the same time. It feels wrong watching it knowing Cavil is gone after the season....

    Just finished watching the first part of Season 3 of The Witcher. It simultaneously feels to big and to cheap at the same time. It feels wrong watching it knowing Cavil is gone after the season. But I'm so in love with the books I'll take anything I can get.

    Also watched the first 3 episodes of Warrior and contrary to The Witcher, that feels so good to watch. I think it helps that its sort of an original property but regardless, so much fun and highly recommend it to anyone who likes action tv/movies.

    The biggest obstacle to Mastodon was rebuilding the social network that took decades to build in Twitter.

    That's the biggest issue with a reddit clone as well. For better or for worse a lot of people were on reddit and we can hopefully get more people on board here. But people are the content with sites like twitter and reddit so it'll be interesting to see in a year where we're at in the whole social media fucky wucky that seems to be happening lately.
