    I put one cup of dry beans (either pinto or black) in the pot with three cups of water and cook for ten minutes.

    Then I quick-release and add the seasoning and 1 cup of rice, and also usually a cup of frozen veggies, stir, and cook for fifteen minutes, followed by another quick-release. Dish into bowls and add sour cream, cheese, nutritional yeast, whatever you like.

    Takes about 40-45 minutes in total, but the vast majority of that is downtime that you can use for other things. Less than five minutes of actual prep/hands on time.

    “Chai” doesn’t mean “tea” in English though - it signifies a specific type of mixed-spice tea. “Chai tea” is no more redundant in English than “Earl Grey tea” is.

    One a word has been borrowed into another language, the meaning/etymology of the word in the source language is irrelevant. For example, I bet when you say “sushi” you mean “fish on/wrapped in rice” and not the vinegared rice itself, because that’s what it means in English. Similarly, when a Japanese speaker says “mansion”, they mean a high-rise apartment or condominium, not a large house, because that’s what the word means in Japanese.

    Fun fact: while a much more often occurrence than once in a lifetime, “Thursday the 20th” is tied with “Saturday the 20th” as the least-likely combination of days of the week with the 20th day of the month, even though you’d think the chances would be exactly 1/7.

    Here’s the math about the Gregorian calendar that explains why. (Even though the post is about Friday the 13th, it straightforwardly can be applied to any other day/date combination as well.)
