Beef and red lentil chili

Ingredients

Note that the kosher salt and black pepper are listed twice, because each portion is added to the pot at different times during the cooking process. I keep them in separate containers to make it easier to add.

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter (or plant-based alternative for vegan)
1 cup chopped white onion
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 large zucchini
1 large yellow squash
1 lb ground beef (not required if vegan)
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
4 cups (32 oz) chicken stock (or vegan alternative)
15 oz can red kidney beans
1 cup uncooked red lentils, rinsed
28 oz can whole peeled plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 bunch of kale, chopped

Utensils

1 large pot
1 container to hold 1 cup of chopped onion, 3 cloves of chopped garlic, minced serrano pepper, 3/4 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper.
1 container to hold chopped zucchini and yellow squash
1 smaller container to hold chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, 1 1/4 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper.

Instructions

Note: If you have raw skin or open sores on your fingers, beware when seeding and mincing the serrano chile pepper (trust me). Wear rubber gloves or use another form of protection.

Chop onion, zucchini, yellow squash, and kale. Seed and mince serrano pepper.
Place chopped onion, garlic, serrano pepper, 3/4 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper in a container.
Place chopped zucchini and yellow squash in another container
Place chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, 1 1/4 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper in a smaller container.
Heat olive oil and butter in covered pot over medium heat, until butter melts. ~1 minute.
Add onion, garlic, serrano pepper, salt, pepper to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally until onion is softened. ~3 minutes.
Stir in zucchini and yellow squash. Cook, stirring often, until softened. ~3 minutes.
Add ground beef, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to crumble beef. ~1-2 minutes.
Cover pot and cook, stirring occasionally until beef is cooked through. ~3-5 minutes.
Stir in chicken stock, beans, and lentils. Increase heat to high and bring to boil.
Reduce heat to low; cover and cook, stirring occasionally until lentils are softened. ~25-30 minutes.

I'm compiling a list of community-driven, non-corporate FOSS operating systems. What I mean by “community-driven” is distributions that are self-governed, where decisions regarding the direction of the distribution are ultimately made by the community itself and its leadership. This is in contrast to distributions that are beholden to corporations like IBM/Red Hat, Canonical, and Novell.

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 14:28:05 +0000

I only drink filtered black coffee, and it has to be sufficiently dark roast.
I've never worn jeans. I can't tolerate the denim material.
I can't tolerate tight- or snug-fitting clothing generally. In the winter I wear stretchy, baggy sweatpants. In the summer I wear stretchy athletic shorts. If I absolutely have to dress up, I would find slacks that are baggy and have an elastic waistband.
I'm super picky when it comes to eating meat. I tend to prefer meat that is lean, dry, and well-done; not bloody, juicy, and fatty. I won't eat pork chops, but I like the cut of pork used in pulled pork sandwiches. If I eat bacon it has to be crispy. Steaks and beef tenderloin that are barely cooked are disgusting to me. The only kind of beef I tend to eat is the kind used in Italian beef sandwiches, the arrachera skirt steak in Mexican tacos (even this is sometimes gross to me, depending on how well it's cooked and its fat content), and ground beef like in chili recipes. I'll eat corned beef and pastrami depending on how non-fatty they are – I'll often peel the fat off when I have a corned beef sandwich.
I smoke tobacco cigarettes, but I can't stand any menthol flavor.
I don't drink alcohol. I just don't care for it taste-wise, and I prefer to be sober-minded and in control of myself. There were some beers that I used to enjoy in moderation, like Guiness and dark craft brews, but I no longer see the point of being buzzed at all. I never liked hard alcohol either.
My favorite pop (soda) is Dr. Pepper and Pepsi.
I don't like bell peppers or plain uncooked tomatoes. The latter makes me gag.
I'm kind of a mysophobe. It's not at a clinical OCD level.
I can be super fussy about things to the point of decision paralysis. I do tend to eventually resolve the issue, though.
I'm monotropic, which means I can only focus on one stream of activity or sensory input at a time. This is part of my autism. Regarding sensory input, I find that I can focus on one main activity with a few other non-intense sensory inputs. I can't have a conversation while driving. It's also hard to drive while listening to others talking. If there is just me in the car then I can drive with the radio on or listen to a podcast; otherwise, it's hard to focus on driving with other sensory distractions.
I find that I'm quite sensory-averse, in that I have a hard preference for low-key, quiet, and non-chaotic environments.
As per sensory aversion, I'm prone to misophonia with certain sounds. This depends on various other factors, such as my mood.
I prefer the cooler fall and winter months to the warmer months. I hate the summer heat. I also take medication that makes me prone to overheating.
My favorite holidays and seasons are Halloween, Thanksgiving (United States), and Christmas. I'm not religious, so I only celebrate the cultural aspects of Christmas. I don't celebrate Thanksgiving as a colonial heritage; I just love the food lol. Halloween will always have a special place in my heart. I love the “spooky” culture and folklore. I don't describe myself as a horror geek, but my older brother is, so I've been exposed to the horror classics for most of my life and I enjoy them as an integral part of the Halloween culture.
My favorite pizza toppings are mushrooms, olives, spinach, and garlic. I'll take any or all. There is an Italian restaurant in Chicago called Pompei, and they have this Sicilian style baked clam pizza that is super good.
I'm of Italian and German heritage. Both my parents are half Italian and half German. Culturally we're more Italian, though. I don't know much about the ancestry of my German relatives. My paternal great-great-grandfather, Cosimo Serio, immigrated from Cefalù, Sicily. Apparently the Serio surname is most common there. Serio means serious in Italian. It also means serious in Spanish, and the French version is serieux.
I have an affinity for Latin and Greek words and their derivatives. I excelled in two years of Spanish in high school and one semester in college.
I have a “peripheral goal” to learn the Italian and German languages, or at least a significant amount of them.
I hope to travel someday. I'd like to see Canada and most of Europe, especially Italy. I'd also like to see Australia and Japan, but they are less of a priority. I think I would need a travel partner, like a significant other.
I have an extreme fear of insects, especially spiders and centipedes.
I'm not a water person. I never cared for swimming pools. I would describe myself as “hydrophobic” in the sense that I have a strong sensory aversion to getting wet, not that I'm irrationally afraid of water.
I'm not as funny as I think I am. That's okay. It's valid.
I tend to be routinized, but I try not to be too rigid. I'm not a fan of major changes. I get cranky when my routine is disrupted unexpectedly. I generally need a lot of time to process routine changes, so I appreciate notices a few to several days in advance.
I am prone to irritability spells. This involves me being cranky, not wanting to interact with anyone, and not taking kindly to demands on my time.

These are my daily drivers.

Distros

CachyOS (KDE Plasma): My workstation OS.
Debian: One of my go-to server distros. I use the stable version in my homelab.
CentOS Stream: Another go-to server distro.

Apps / programs

Firefox: One of my web browsers of choice. I use it only on mobile these days.
Just: Just a command runner. I use it extensively on my workstation.
Neovim: My text editor of choice.
Nushell: A very useful shell that treats data as objects rather than streams of text.
Signal: I don't really use this every day, but my hope is that by being available on it I would be the change I want to see in the world. Unfortunately, nobody I send text messages to is willing to use anything but their phone's default messaging app.
Tailscale: I use this extensively in my homelab. It's nothing short of revolutionary for self-hosting and homelab.
Z shell: I use zsh as my default shell almost everywhere, but I write scripts mostly in Bash or Python for compatibility and portability reasons. Zsh is the most advanced POSIX-compliant shell, IMO.
ZFS: Advanced copy-on-write filesystem. I use it on my NAS.
Zellij: Terminal multiplexer written in Rust.
Zen Browser: One of my web browsers of choice.
