Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Nothing fancy? I don't even know how to pronounce more than half of those words lol
Think lasagna, but instead of flat noodles, use gnocchi potato dumplings, and instead of ground beef, use soft unsmoked bacon!
 
We had grilled cheese with bacon and roasted red peppers.
 
If she adores dogs, why is she hiding a knife from the dog behind her back 😱🙀
Haha I didn't see the knife in the first post. I was trying to figure out all of the serial killer comments.
 
thanks. yes it is super frustrating. no @JoJosReef i dont think it was agression. it was kind of an odd color when i got it and didnt act the greatest. but i was hopeful it was just from shipping. but the coloring just got worse and so did its actions....
Ugh I hate hearing this
 
Ingredients:
1 14-ounce package of black beans (we used Goya)
1 onion
1 head of garlic
Malanga (if you have it)
Pepper of your choice, but not spicy
Oil (we're using lard)
Cumin
Oregano
Paprika
Bay leaves
Salt
A little garlic and onion powder
Vinegar
Sugar

Preparation:
In the pot, add the beans and water up to the middle, add 1 malanga cut into bite-sized pieces, half the onion, 5 garlic cloves, chili, bay leaves, and place it in the high pressure cooker for 1 hour.
When the cooker stops, wait for the pressure to release and uncover.
In a pan with oil, sauté the other half of the onion and 5 more garlic cloves cutted small. When it's golden not toast, add it to the pot of beans and add the paprika. Cumin, oregano, salt, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, onion, and garlic powder.
Stir well and put it on high pressure again, but this time for 20 minutes.
After that time is up, wait for the pressure to release, uncover the pot, and let it boil until it's to your liking. I like it a little thick, but not too thick.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write ;)
In the recipe book yet Luis?
 
She's a real cereal killer!

What a darling, beautiful little girl Paul.
I've never seen a picture of you so now this is what you might look like a little bigger, at least to me! ;)
Love it!
