I use coffee, Peet's French Roast. I brew with one of those plastic cone filter things using two scoops of fresh grind per cup.

Zing!

The OP's recipe just needs this...

No thanks. Despite my well-adjusted to caffeine metabolism, the pills, while keeping me awake, also give me the shakes and a headache. Too much all at once.


Dec out.

I remember when Pepsi didn't even own Mountain Dew, it was its own company. Hillbillys for the win!

YA-HOO, Mountain Dew!


Dec out.

2. Mix the chili and cooked rice.
3. Heat the mixture a bit more in the microwave.
4. Add cheese.
5. Eat.
Always game to try something different and on top of that, simple to throw together. Much appreciated. Although the term Bachelor doesn't qualify for me here lol.

As for the original intention of the thread, I likes my Coca-Cola w/ ice!

I drink a lot of Sunkist, but I also like Mountain Dew and Mellow Yellow. I don't know if Caffeine dose any thing for me or not any more. I stay up I drink soda till midnight and then I go to bed and am out like a light in 30 min.

I'm also a Mountain Dew fan, but that, Dr Pepper, and good ol' Coca-Cola are just anytime drinks. When I really need a boost though, I get a Mountain Dew Voltage. Raspberry and (especially) ginseng are my friends. Five-Hour Energy does the job too, but it's hella more expensive.

If we're sharing recipes:

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Brownie Pie

1 (8-inch) chocolate crumb crust
1/2 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Baking Cocoa
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided use
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
1 2/3 cups (11-ounces) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Peanut Butter & Milk Chocolate Morsels, divided use
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
Vanilla ice cream for accompaniment

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Combine cocoa, flour and salt in small bowl. Beat eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in small mixer bowl; blend in sugar and butter. Add cocoa mixture; blend well. Stir in 3/4 cup morsels. Place crust on baking sheet; pour batter into crust.
3. Bake for 45 minutes or until set. Cool on wire rack.
4. Combine remaining morsels, cream and remaining vanilla extract in small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 1/2 minutes; stir. Microwave at additional 10 to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
5. Cut pie into wedges; top with ice cream. Spoon sauce over ice cream.
And, in the interest of fairness:

Queen Ann Cake

1 box chocolate cake mix
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/4 cup milk
[Honestly, just make a chocolate cake however you like, the frosting is the important part.]

FROSTING:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup nuts, chopped (I leave them out) [Primal does too]
12 oz Cool Whip
5 Hershey bars, shaved [Primal uses a cheese grater on refrigerated bars]

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour three round cake pans. Sift cake and pudding mixes together. In another bowl, beat oil, eggs and milk. Add to dry mixture and beat well. Bake for 20-25 min. or until done.

To make frosting, beat together cream cheese and sugars until very creamy. Fold in Hershey Bar pieces and nuts. Frost when cake is completely cooled.
It's a chocolate and cream cheese kick to the face. Unlike some cakes, this is actually much much better if it's very cold, imo.

Try not drinking it and then return to us with the results.

Actually, that's 100 grams (4oz) of powdered caffeine with 1000 servings per container, not 100 pills.

Finally found that cereal mix. My family calls it Trash. You will need:

1 turkey roasting pan
1 box Cheezits
1/2 box Crispex
1 bag pretzels
1 cup mixed nuts (<-- I don't add this to mine, I'm alergic to nuts I add cherios instead)

Preheat the Oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix the following ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil slowly stirring constantly.
2 sticks butter
1/2 cup fresh bacon grease (may be able to use Crisco or EV Olive Oil it will taste slightly different)
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon McCormick season all seasoned salt
2 tablespoons worchestershire Sauce
2 tablespoons tobasco sauce

Stir the above mixture into the snack mix in the roasting pan and place into oven. Stir the mixture every 20 minutes for 2 hours.

Enjoy.

Also I hope the plaync store is done with maintenance. I'm ready to try the Mutant Pack.
