I'm working on losing a bunch of weight at the moment. Gave up drinking for lent, and decided what the hell might as well get in good shape. I'm keeping diet pretty simple. Drink lots of water throughout the day as it helps you feel full. I generally eat the same food as I did before, I just cut the size of my helpings in half. Focusing on eating way more protien and way less carbs. That's about it. I'm running almost everyday so I've started losing weight pretty quickly. If you put in the time to exercise, you're naturally going to be smarter with what you eat because you don't want to waste your good efforts. Exercise, lots of water, more protien, less carbs. Working pretty good so far.
I use this in a lot of things I make as well. If you really want to fuck with your friends, get them to try this sauce.
I would use maybe a tablespoons worth for a massive pot of chili. This stuff will melt your face off if you taste it directly (not mixed in with a lot of food). You can actually buy it at most grocery stores around where I live. I've tried a million different sauces and this stuff is like 10x hotter than it's closest rival in my book. The good thing though is that a very small amount of this can add a lot of heat to a meal without adding a noticeable flavor. For most hot sauces you have to change the flavor of whatever it is you're eating because you're dousing it in a random sauce to get the spice. That's why this stuff rocks.
I'm only just starting to dip into hotter food. I was an absolute fanny for most of my life as just would have everything plain.
However, that hot sauce sounds a little naughty if I'm honest. I don't know how you can actually taste anything once your tongue is burnt to a crisp from the sauce.
The hot taco mix is not really spicy in all honesty. On a 1-10 I'd give it maybe a 4 or 5. It has some spice to it but my 8 year old eats it and doesn't complain a bit. It's just a significantly different flavor than regular taco mix and that makes all the difference, not that it's spicy (although anything spicy is better than not). Also I'm not referring to a sauce, it's the packet seasoning mix that you add with some water into the meat after it's been browned to give the beef the flavor
Taco dip with the HOT El Paso taco mix. Its not only hotter, obviously, but it actually tastes significantly better too. The secret to a killer taco dip is cream cheese. We layer on a good bit on the bottom, add the seasoned beef on top, then a small layer of whatever beans you like on top of that. Sometimes we used refried, sometimes organic black beans. Sour cream on top of that, and then a layer of mexican cheese. Bake it in the oven for 15 minutes or so until the cheese is fully melted into the sour cream and there you go. Everyone has a version of taco dip I'm sure, but I'd be really curious for any of you to try it out and get your feedback. Again, the real difference is the cream cheese on the bottom and the hot el paso taco mix. Killer stuff. If you want to go beyond that you can add lettuce and tomatoes on top after it's cooked. I usually throw on a stupid amount of cilantro cause it's my digs.
The only fast food places I'll go to is Arbys and Chick-fil-a. Arby's sliders are the shit
I can't stand boiled peanuts. Love everything else with peanuts, but boiled are disgusting. Can't stand the smell or the taste
Favorite restaurant is Rathbun Steak in Atlanta, but on a more day to day basis, any one of the multiple mexican restaurants in the area. We eat mexican 2-3 times a week
