#coffeechain for thee and for me

gm plebs, really excited for this one day and moments ahead πŸ€™

oi! miss that place & rio vibe & comida deliciosa. truly unique πŸ€™

what's your #bestr way to give sats as a gift? #asknostr

thx πŸ€™

not crazy, it sounds like a fun goal.

do you use bootstrap or anything or just editor?

what do you use to spin up your sites?

i generally use wordpress, cpanel, etc and have not found a simple alternative yet.

i've been playing with the same idea for a while and get derailed when building the site 😞

i'll dig in more. really appreciate your note. validates i'm not the only one.

one step to protect personal data while untangling the fiat world is to delete old/unused accounts/subscriptions/services/etc. IMPORTANT: request ALL personal data be deleted from their system/database to "protect your privacy."

this morning i deleted an old affirm ($afrm) account. do they intentionally mislead and frustrate users hoping they stop or give up πŸ€” because my experience really sucked and was time consuming. easy on-ramps with challenging off-ramps business model doesn't work #zapvertising

the quickest route deleting your affirm account: call 855-423-3729 7:00-22:00 cst. have your name, phone, email, dob, address, etc that was used when signing up. they take one extra step before deleting all records by calling you back to confirm full deletion.

#confession: i really injoy navigating these messy customer service experiences if it helps others avoid them in the future.

one delicious bonus from most any pumpkin #foodstr

cooking with coffee was not on my 2023 bingo card but here we are.

boiled potatoes & sautΓ©ed mushrooms. both liquids are dark roast.

what roast are you using #coffeechain & #foodstr

*potatoes needed something more. not sure what though.

I'm open sourcing my "famous" baklava recipe so you can make it at home! πŸ‘©β€πŸ³

Who knows, maybe yours will also sell for 14 btc one day. πŸ˜„

Pastry ingredients:

1lb walnuts

1 cup sugar

2/3 tsp cinnamon

Dash of clove

1 lb butter (melted)

2lbs #4 fillo dough (#4=thin)

Syrup ingredients:

2 cups sugar

2 cups water

1 cup buckwheat honey (key ingredient)

Pinch of clove

Couple dashes cinnamon

Preheat oven to 325F.

Add walnuts, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon and clove to a food processor using the mixing/chopping blade.

30 seconds in a Cuisinart will grind the walnuts to meal-like consistency.

The fine grind is key.

Using a pastry brush, spread butter along the inside of the pan.

Make a base layer of 10 sheets of fillo, buttering each sheet as you place it.

Press down on excess dough around the edges. Poke the bottom layer with a fork to prevent air bubbles during baking.

Now lightly sprinkle walnut mixture into the pan.

Add 2 sheets of fillo and repeat these steps (2 sheets then walnuts) until only 10 fillo sheets remain.

Add remaining walnuts to the pan.

Your last 10 fillo sheets are the same as your first 10 - 1 sheet, butter, 1 sheet, butter, etc until the fillo is gone.

Now you're done assembling the baklava!

Final step before baking is scoring. You can cut the baklava however you like. I keep it basic.

Now we bake at 325F for 40 minutes.

https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_b20df2eda074d68258ae713a29ee583dd7e6c0767bd7f6d8697e893e544888b6.mp4

Syrup time!

Mix sugar, spices, & water in a sauce pan. Heat until sugar is fully dissolved.

Add 1 cup buckwheat honey, stir, & remove from heat.

If there's a "secret ingredient," it's the buckwheat honey. Other honeys will radically change the flavor.

After 40 minutes your baklava will look like this, but we want to brown the top.

Turn oven up to 375F & bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until top layer is golden brown.

Remove from oven and immediately pour syrup over the baklava, spreading it evenly.

Allow baklava to sit for 4-6 hours to cool and soak the syrup.

Mandrik's baklava is best served chilled.

You can freeze baked baklava for months, and it's good in the fridge for many weeks.

I'd love to see results from anyone who makes their own baklava with this recipe.

Enjoy! πŸ˜‹

goal: value 4 value. excellent job setting the stage
