You're welcome. I think they use Brazilian beans, but still very good. I miss the Ethiopian Yrgacheffe I used to get from my local place, but they raised their prices so high, and sometimes I'd go in and they wouldn't even have it. If you join the coffee club at Black Rifle, every bag is discounted, the Blackbeards is $2.50 off a bag, you can set up how much and how often it gets delivered, and shipping is free that way too. I get 2 bags every 30 days since it's just for me (and my son when he comes to visit). I also like that they're veteran owned, not soyboys.
Yes, their site said they use Brazilian and Columbian beans. I usually prefer darker roasts for the really hearty coffee flavor. Recently we tried some that was medium roast and it really did have more of other flavor notes - nuttiness and even some bright fruity notes. But that lighter roast resulted in less caffeine. I only drink one cup a day, and had to use more beans to get the full flavor and caffeine content I prefer.
Totally agree, I love that they are veteran owned. “Soyboy” made me laugh! A good word for them!
Being productive today. Doing preventative work on my 26 year old truck. Re-taping wire harnesses (old ones were dried out and flaking off). Getting dielectric grease on the connectors. Anything electrical stuff I can find. Just did the right side of the engine compartment. Tedious work. Drives me nuts so I'll do the other half of the engine compartment some other day. Sunny and 70's here. Whole heck of a lot better than all this wet crap we've been having.
I just had another "Let's try a new recipe!" adventure. I've got a whole lot of organic turmeric and wanted a way to consume more of it.
I found two turmeric cracker recipes and did a mash-up of them, then added my own touches.
The result was these Black Pepper Turmeric crackers that are almost like a flatbread. It's super simple to make, with no rise time. 15 minutes to blend it all up and 20 minutes to bake.
We devoured this entire tray! They'd be great with salsa or even with soup. Recipe below for anyone who wants to try them. If you don't like to have your mouth zinging, use less black pepper.
Ingredients:
160 grams all-purpose flour [1 1/3 cup]
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/8 - 1/4 cup nutritional yeast [used a little over 1/8 first time - may need more liquid if adding more]
1/2 cup organic sesame seeds [didn’t use this the first time, but would be very good]
1/2 teaspoon organic ground garlic
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
1/2 teaspoon organic ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
Ground flax seed
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3-1/2 cup water [used 1/2 cup because of the addition of extra dry ingredients especially the yeast]
Toppings:
freshly ground coarse Himalayan pink salt
freshly ground black pepper corn
garlic powder

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- In a mixing bowl add in the dry ingredients, whisk and then add in the olive oil and water bit by bit. Mix and knead with your hands until it's a smooth dough. Add more flour if your dough is too sticky or add more water if it doesn't hold together.
- On a lightly floured parchment paper, roll out the dough as thin and even as possible.
- Cut the dough with a pizza cutter in large rectangles and then diagonally to create triangles. Carefully pull the parchment paper with the crackers onto a baking sheet.
- Bake the crackers in the oven for about 15-20 minutes* (until they get crispy and they get a slightly golden brown color on some). Let them cool off and enjoy!

Yes, I don't have all those ingredients. I did look up a sub for Aleppo pepper and one said to use cayenne powder mixed with sweet paprika. I can handle fairly warm, but not Carolina Reaper or Habanero territory. I only tried Habanero once, and that was enough for me. I think a half a gallon of tea followed, and my lips were still on fire. Maybe I got an especially hot one, but I won't be testing those waters again.Cool! If you don’t have Aleppo pepper, you can use maybe 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne. How much you use of cayenne depends on how spicy you prefer and can handle.
Regular salt works fine too. It’s a good recipe to tinker with, so you can add whatever herbs and spices you want.

This is a level of culinary creativity that you alone could achieve.
Yes! I’ve seen that sub for Aleppo. Totally forgot about it. That really would get you close to the flavor of Aleppo. I definitely have my spicy heat limits too. I had a similar experience with Habanero. And one time I proudly ordered a Thai dish at the higher end of their spiciness choices. It was utterly inedible for me! I tried hard, but it was PAIN on my palate and started to give me a bad headache. I was humbled after that for sure.
I love spice, like love, love, love it.
I'm gonna save that recipe for another time, I have that pulled tendon in my knee, and I've pushed it too hard the last two weeks so now I have to be good and stay being non-weight bearing again til it heals (or til the swelling goes down.. lol)
it's hard to keep me down.. But I have the men in my life complaining at me for not resting so I'm allowing them their way for a little while..
