For the record, I will not be trying one of those new-fangled Impossible Burgers.

If I want something that tastes exactly like a burger made from meat, I'll get a real burger made from meat. I want my veggie burgers to taste like veggie burgers, dagnabbit. I want it to taste like spiced-up veggie mush with grill marks.

Maybe some day when Impossible Burgers or lab-grown meat comes down in price I'll eat it as a guilt-free alternative, but for now I'm sticking to things as they are because I'm a curmudgeon and change makes me cranky.
 
I definitely want to try the Impossible Burger. I'm already looking for locations. Nearest to me is Charlottesville, a couple of hours away. We go there a few times a year for different things. Next trip, Impossible Burger!
 
I'll admit that I'm fascinated by the science behind the Impossible Burger, but I'm not in any hurry to try it out.

I believe the people who've tried it and say that it tastes exactly like a burger made from beef, and so I already know what it tastes like. No need to even go there.

Besides, chipotle and beans are tasty, dammit! (Yosemite Sam-style mumbling)
 
Made some cocoa-banana cookies. I just took my tahini cookie recipe and revised for the ingredients I had on hand:

- 1 banana and 1/4 c cocoa powder in place of the tahini
- white sugar in place of the brown sugar
- 2 tbsp aquafaba in place of egg

I ended up adding an extra 1/3 - 1/2 c of flour because it turned out more like batter instead of cookie dough.

The cookies turned out way better than I expected. They taste a lot like Oreos with a hint of banana flavor, and they're chewy. NOM! Also delicious dipped in milk!

I saw "Lime Budweiser" for sale at the local supermarket and it was ludicrously expensive compared to regular Budweiser.

So of course I thought, screw you, Budweiser. I'm going to buy regular Budweiser on the cheap and put fresh lime slices in it! Take that!

And jalapeno slices. Because these days I put fresh jalapeno slices in just about any beer I get my hands on.

Anyway, I can't say that I'm crazy about it. It makes the beer taste even weaker, and Budweiser is already kind of low in flavor to begin with. Lime does weird things to beer.

I would soooo drink that!

Although I have to say that one of my all time favorites was a craft beer made with Chinese smoked black tea. My brothers are the beer snobs. I can switch between Budweiser and craft beer without skipping a beat, but man that smoked black tea beer was [bad word] sublime!

Is it an IPA?
 
Just looked it up, there's a Hong Kong variant that uses soy sauce and ketchup, but ketchup without soy sauce is Japanese as far as I can tell.

And the way I always had it, the rice comes out looking pink with bits of char here and there.
