Ya, I’ve loved Wendy’s chili my whole life. I always add their packet of hot sauce as well.
I like Wendy's chili as well, normally eat like a half sleeve of saltines with it!

Do you ever add the hot sauce packet, it gives it nice heat?

Low protein for now bud. Fresh veggies and easy on animal protein. Time for tofu burgers
 
This doesn’t make me happy and I swear the little Timmy’s are laughing at me.
Are you able to move it and put a rock in it's place? That's not good they are putting sand on it!

They move on rather quickly. It tends to inflate and clear the sand itself but once in awhile I’ll remove the sand.
 
I don't know exactly why, but I love this picture. Goodnight Smorgasbord! Be well my friends.

Amazing corals John! And thanks for the little “talk” we had. Meant a lot 🤗
 
Good morning Bailey, it only gets worse, I’m typically heading to bed at 10:00 pm.
During the week, I'm in bed by 1000 most of the time.

I didn't know it had a hot sauce packet. I will ask next time and yes, I will add it

Ya, the packets are similar to the ketchup packets. They are specifically for the chili.

That’s one of main reasons why I won’t do a tunnel dwelling goby these days. I think that pair are adorable but the entire substrate becomes their playground
 
Ramen an eggs!😍Try poached eggs or boiled I thought it was a gross sounding idea but it’s really good.
I could do boiled but I'm not a fan of poached.
Yes the boiled is way better!poached is just something new I discovered.Im not a big yolk fan and never can seem to get it not so runny😂
 
I will give it a try😁 Wendy’s chili is soo good used to be the only one I’d eat until I got older.
Not homemade?
I will make the homemade one andthe other one shared.I was just agreeing Wendy’s is the best and ,that I would only eat that chili as a child was Wendy’s.My ma would try but she’s not a very cooking type lady 😂
