The simple stuff hits so right at the right time.

Was the friend male or female

Making bread for the first time. Doing cinnamon raisin
Did this a few hours ago and I realized I didn’t put the brown sugar so I had to make another batch

I've always said "plan-tane". The second syllable rhymes with airplane.

Yea I think that is the American English way to say it.

Folks from the Islands say plan-TINS

People from Central America say pla-TANOS

I just buy the chocolate chip cookies from Costco. So damn good.

The "Gourmet" cookies industry is as predatory as check cashing spots.

How much does a box of these thin cookies run? EYE personally wouldn't pay for such thin cookies. Chip is the GOAT cookie retailer, imo. The worst cookie brand is Insomnia.

Panera bread BEEN overpriced

 

[B Sox]

I’m in agreement with this point.

Dining experience at Red Lobster was marginally cheaper than going to the highest regarded seafood restaurant in Baltimore.

Finished product of the cinnamon raisin bread. Pretty good for my first time I’d say
Got me wondering how you add more flavor to bread versus other foods since you can’t use the regular things like onions, garlic, seasonings etc

Most countries in Latin America would call them platanos, although I think some countries and Spain say “platanos” when they mean bananas.

What you had is sweet plantains, which my people would call maduros.

 

[lawdog1]

“Tostones” are non-sweet plantains, right?

 

[masagipatron]

Duzan. Round 2. This time, I got the beef shwarma with hummus and baba ganoush. First time having baba ganoush. Won’t be the last time.

 

[masagipatron]

Yeah and fried. Then you have patacon, which essentially a sandwich made up of large pieces of tostones in place of bread. That’s a Venezuelan thing.

One time my coworker from Honduras was making soup and asked me to get bananas. In my heart I knew he meant plantains but I got regular bananas like he said to and yep he meant plantains

Right you're spending so close to the premium experience now on regular **** you may as well reserve your time and money for the better experience. Like it's crazy I can't get out a regular *** Chinese food spot anymore with 2 apps and a main for less than 40 bucks.
