To me, dark roasts are all about the bloom. I also think 5 pours might be too many, but YMMV. I wouldn’t grind any smaller lest you enjoy lots of fines.
I bloom 20g of dark roast with 35-40ml of boiling water for 90 seconds and then I do 3 100ml pours every 30 seconds. This is my everyday V60 coffee.
I mean, I’d eat it if you sat it down in front of me. But:
You definitely shot yourself in the foot with all the dairy, as far as I’m concerned. That’s a pretty dense, hearty topping for an otherwise light, vibrant shrimp dish.
I’d either do cream or cheese, but not both. I think about the slaw being the main attraction whenever I do shrimp tacos, and I like a nice fresh zap to mine.
My cabbage slaw is basically:
Toss that together with the juice of a lime(2 tbsp) and a tablespoon of good, fruity olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste and that’s it. Let those veggies shine, bud!
Bonus points for using the mouse to copy/paste
Gumbo comes from the West African word ‘gombo’ meaning okra. Literally translated kingombo means ‘okra soup’. But there are more variations than you can throw a stick at.
Generally, I find a gumbo made with roux and okra(and/or sassafras) to be too thick. I only do one or the other, either okra or a flour based roux. I’ll serve with filé powder on the table as desired.
If you have ice cube trays, I’d freeze it into coffee cubes and keep them in a freezer bag. It’ll taste way better for longer and there’s much less risk of mold or funky smells developing.
I have some from Easter that I’m still using and they’re still quite strong. I toss a few in a glass when I wake up with some milk and let it thaw for a bit, I’m a fan.

Finally upgraded to Lineage OS 23
Mounjaro and Ozempic both have savings cards you can sign up for on their respective websites, as long as you aren’t on government insurance.
I had the same issue last year, my A1C was 6.9 and insurance denied coverage. I got the savings card from Lilly, had my doctor call in the script and BAM! 25USD for 12 weeks of Mounjaro.
I didn’t even need a prior authorization anymore. Apparently results may vary, but I got lucky. Try them both if needed. Stay vigilant!
FYI: That’s not Jim Breuer, it’s Brian Regan
I’d bet a bunch of vocal groups from the early days of vinyl would fall into this group. They’re probably mostly in Las Vegas and Branson these days.
As a personal memory, I played a few gigs with The Diamonds(most known for their hit 1957 record “Little Darlin’”) back in the early 2000s. They were having a bit of a resurgence after a PBS series aired. At one point the original bass singer was back, but he wasn’t long for this earth and somebody else was in his place by the second tour I did.
FYI, it’s legit-ish, at least it used to be. You have to spend at least $29 on the nift site to apply the gift card.
Only most everything is $18-25, so you have to spend a few bucks out of pocket to get a couple of cheap doo-dads. Not worth it unless they have something you really need/want.
