I'm almost certain it's a fancification of the word rascal. Like some dude in 1750 said 'what's rascal short for?' and his quick witted friend said rapscallion and yada yada now it's a word.

Fresh Roasted Coffee makes several tasty decaf and half-caf varieties. There's a decaf dark Sumatra variety that I've made many a late night espresso out of with great results. It comes and goes, though.

I've tried several of the lighter decafs since I have a friend who's all but allergic to caffeine, but he loves coffee; and of those, the Ethiopia is my favorite.

If you don't mind shelling out, there's a variety pack with 12 samples of various decafs here

Looks right. This is precisely why I always used to do these one at a time. I don't need to think, I just wanna plug!

To me, dark roasts are all about the bloom. I also think 5 pours might be too many, but YMMV. I wouldn't grind any smaller lest you enjoy lots of fines.

I bloom 20g of dark roast with 35-40ml of boiling water for 90 seconds and then I do 3 100ml pours every 30 seconds. This is my everyday V60 coffee.

I mean, I'd eat it if you sat it down in front of me. But:

You definitely shot yourself in the foot with all the dairy, as far as I'm concerned. That's a pretty dense, hearty topping for an otherwise light, vibrant shrimp dish.

I'd either do cream or cheese, but not both. I think about the slaw being the main attraction whenever I do shrimp tacos, and I like a nice fresh zap to mine.

My cabbage slaw is basically:

• 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
• Half a red bell pepper, thin strips
• Half a carrot, thin strips
• 3-4 green onions, sliced thinly
• 1/2 cup of cilantro(parsley if you have the soap gene), finely chopped

Toss that together with the juice of a lime(2 tbsp) and a tablespoon of good, fruity olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste and that's it. Let those veggies shine, bud!

Bonus points for using the mouse to copy/paste

Gumbo comes from the West African word 'gombo' meaning okra. Literally translated kingombo means 'okra soup'. But there are more variations than you can throw a stick at.

Generally, I find a gumbo made with roux and okra(and/or sassafras) to be too thick. I only do one or the other, either okra or a flour based roux. I'll serve with filé powder on the table as desired.

Here's the thing: You got yourself a real nice shot, there. Bravo!

If you have ice cube trays, I'd freeze it into coffee cubes and keep them in a freezer bag. It'll taste way better for longer and there's much less risk of mold or funky smells developing.

I have some from Easter that I'm still using and they're still quite strong. I toss a few in a glass when I wake up with some milk and let it thaw for a bit, I'm a fan.

I've seen this with a tabasco bottle before, this feels right

It feels like it could be a corrupted win11 install, maybe a bum drive? Can you create a bootable thumb drive and try reinstalling? I'd swap drives and format if possible.

If the same issues persist, Microcenter has a rock solid return policy as long as you're still in the window.

If you're outside the window, I say give your wife the main account and dual boot Linux for you. Good luck!
