Coffee

Meatloaf sauce as in ketchup, mustard, onions, and brown sugar all mixed together? That’s the real deal. Although my uptown ass prefers a brown gravy on my meatloaf and taters.

I do one with Ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce and a bunch of fresh cracked black pepper. People seem to like it, you can sub the ketchup and brown sugar with BBQ sauce. No special ratio's just do it to your liking. 

Smother the top of the meatloaf with it and they lay slices of bacon over the sauce. 

 
I quit coffee about a year ago and started using mushroom coffee. I have energy all damn day, no crash.

Packed full of good stuff.. adaptogens, immunity,vitamins, anti-inflammatory, etc I still like the taste of coffee so sometimes I'll mix it with decaf.

👍

His wasn’t a link, but gave enough info I was able to find out what it was. I’m still studying up on it as some of what I’ve read so far has been quite interesting. I do start each day with a cup or two of coffee but I am not a fiend to where I “have to have” it. I do enjoy it but am wanting to cut down on my sugar intake more than my caffeine intake. This may be a tolerable route since I enjoy really dark or bold coffee but not the bitterness. I use the sugar to knock the edge off of the bitter.

 
FWIW, years ago my Dr. said that there is nothing wrong with drinking coffee.  putting tons of crap in it, is not good for you, but the coffee is not bad for you.  with him its all about moderation (as it should be), so Im sure if I told him that I drank 30 cups of black coffee a day he would call me a dumbass.  I dont, I only drink 28...  LOL

 
Mushroom coffee is a trending coffee brew made from blends of regular coffee and extracts of medicinal mushrooms, including Chaga, Cordyceps, Reishi, Lion’s mane, and Turkey’s tail.

Although there are several health claims regarding the use of mushrooms and mushroom coffee for various health conditions, most of them are unverified at this moment, and more human research is needed.

There's so many different brands and places to read about this stuff it's hard to nail down one good place. Healthline nutrition is a good start. So is mud Waters website, they are in California and work with maps.

It's turned into the latest fad that's for sure. I stick with the mud water (mudwtr) mostly because it's very low in caffeine. Depending on which one you get it either tastes like crap or like dogshit. Lol. You get used to it though. I enjoy the taste of mud water now. My routine now is a scoop of mud water with some extra reishi and lion's mane in a cup of decaf coffee.

The only thing I caution you about is what brands you use. It has to be mostly fruiting bodies, a lot of the cheaper stuff is a bunch of fillers and stalks. You can also build a tolerance to adaptogens.

Real psychedelic mushrooms are being used more and more everyday for PTSD depression etc. You're going to start hearing a lot more about it. The more you read about the different types of mushrooms and what they do, the more you'll be amazed.

These are the brands that I deal with after lots of testing and reading.

I have been on Blood pressure meds for 10 years now, I stopped drinking coffee about 3 years ago, I saw zero change in anything when I quite coffee.  No weight loss, no weight gain, no change in blood pressure on it or off it.  I just started drinking a cup a day again, because I like it.  I don't do any other caffeine or sugar drinks at all.  My real world experience, drink coffee in moderation and you won't see any change in your body.

I quit 18 months ago. What I did experience was a headache that lasted for 2 weeks. Caffeine restricts blood vessels in the brain and when you stop they expand causing the headache. BTW I drank 2 cups a day.

I had zero affects when I quit, having headaches would suck.  I also drink lots of water, maybe 1-2 gallons a day.  Zero sodas as well.

I do the Keurig thing with a small shot of some creamer in it and maybe 2 a day...usually 1.

I like dark roast.

 
Didn't BRCC jump on the "Rittenhouse is guilty" bandwagon long before a trail even started and state they didn't want Rittenhouse supporters as customers? 

As for coffee itself, my favorite cup 'o coffee is probably still a good pour-over.  I still do pour-over when I do my cool-guy-Broverland camping because it's just simple and doesn't require big machines, electricity, etc.  There all sorts of nice collapsible pour over options these days like this: https://www.amazon.com/Collapsible-Paperless-Dishwasher-Carabineer-Backpacking/dp/B095K2DV9L/ref=sr_1_5?crid=15MI7Z78LJL1D&keywords=collapsible+pour+over+coffee+maker&qid=1636812738&sprefix=colapsable+pour+%2Caps%2C259&sr=8-5 though if I'm honest I don't even have one and I just use a cheapo plastic one I've had fo-ev-ah.  

At the house (or in the RVs) we've had several different pod-type machines.  I think what it really comes down to with those is unsurprisingly a) the quality of the actual coffee pod you get for them b) cleaning.  I've talked to a lot of people that say they've literally never cleaned theirs.  Not only is that gross, but it'll add a very bitter flavor to the coffee.  Right now we run a Nespresso and so far, it's my favorite.  The coffee comes out rich and almost creamy, and their super simple little frother things ( https://www.amazon.com/Nestle-Nespresso-3694-US-BK-Aeroccino3-Frother/dp/B06XHWQJKN/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=nespresso+frother&qid=1636813003&sr=8-3 ) work really really well actually (you can find much cheaper versions from non-Nespresso brands: https://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Multifunction-Chocolate-Cappuccino-Gretess/dp/B0915929SV/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=nespresso%2Bfrother&qid=1636813003&sr=8-2-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExVlkwWUpGUldJRlJKJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjcxODMxMlIzNExPNlExV1lWVCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDE2Mjk4M0xJVUsyVldSUENXUCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1 ).  

Alllllllllllllllll of that said, I have friends that have crazier built-in mondo-$ machines in their houses and I will say, they make very, very, VERY good coffee and legit lattes or things like that.  Doing the remodel on the Vegas house we really thought about doing one, but at the end of the day a) it was an expense we didn't want to add to an already costly remodel b) I figured anything like that built-in is just going to be a long-term PITA when it comes to repair/replacement/upgrading/etc.
