What about olive oil?

I don't do a lot of cooking personally, but I generally like things made with olive oil.

I don’t cook with much olive oil. Tend to use grape seed or coconut oil for higher smoke points.

I add a lot of high quality olive oil to finished meals, salads, etc.

You BK, of Whopper and Hamburgler fame like my diet?

Meh 2/10.

What about olive oil?

Olive oil is very popular. People use other oils for cooking pretty frequently too.

Sangria.... yuck.

Love red wine, though.

If it’s made the right way and the fruit is allowed to soak for a little bit then it can be good.

On a lighter note, how many fellow peeps follow or like the Meditteranean diet of cooking with olive oil, drinking red wine, and eating seafood? Is olive oil used a lot more in the US? Do you peeps li,e Sangria or have you ever tried it?

Yes to all of the above.

Love cooking with olive oil, I substitute it for butter and/or other oils all the time. Love red wine, especially cabs, malbecs, tempranillos, etc. And seafood is my favorite food.

Yep. Well-made sangria is delicious. Super refreshing during the summer with all the fresh fruit.

I get people at my bar trying to order sangria all the time. Very annoying. I have the Pinot, brandy, fresh fruit, and simple to make it but we don’t batch it so it’s not soaking any of the fruit up for hours like it’s supposed to

No joke, Spanish fishing fleets have been kicked out of other territorial fishing water fue to over fishing. The EU strongly monitors our yearly quotas for different species because so much fish is consumed in Spain.

I want to go to Spain so bad.

And my preference in seafood lies in shellfish, primarily. Lobster, clams, scallops, crab, etc. There are obviously ocean fish I like, also, but I much prefer the damn expensive shellfish.

Oh yeah, I've long since accepted that Facebook is a front for machine learning our monetary habits and better sell us stuff (and for age progression/facial recognition software).

That’s true, but in return we get to see how the girls from high school are aging.

Wow. I waited far too long to get an Instant Pot.

Frozen chicken in my belly in 30 minutes. Incredible.

I’ve been using it for everything lately, to the point where I cooked my eggs in it over the weekend.

Which one do you have? Ananova?

I have been using one for 2-3 years and I have yet to make a bad meal.

I've wanted to try to do that since I saw a cookoff contest on a podcast, definitely looks interesting.

It provides so much control when cooking. I 100% recommend getting one to everyone.

FRozen chicken cooked in 30 minutes!?!?!? No way

Yeah, the Anova. It was an impulse buy around a year and a half ago, and it took me a while to take it out of the box, but we've been loving it ever since. Cooks everything perfectly.
