Terris’ Easy Spicy Vegan Black Beans

Black beans are full of protein and smoky flavor.

This easy vegan spicy black bean dish is delish solo and in Mexican classics.

Serves: 6
Prep: 10 minutes (if you use canned beans)
Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced 
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes or fresh alternative. Tomatoes are the key ingredient. Do not decrease the amount.
  • 1 tsp dried cilantro
  • 1 or 2 🌶🌶 peppers with 1 tsp sauce from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (such as from La Costeña). These peppers supply the heat. Try with one pepper first and upgrade if you dare (seriously though, they are pretty mild). Do not use the whole can!
  • 2 15oz cans black beans without spices, drained (or start from dry - see you tomorrow!)
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil, onions, cumin, dried cilantro, and garlic over low heat for 10 minutes 
  2. While heating, purée tomatoes, peppers, and adobo sauce in a blender or food processor
  3. Add tomato purée, beans, pepper, and salt
  4. Simmer for 10 minutes
  5. Remove from heat and mash all contents; for example, with a potato masher:

Running 2560x1080 on LG 29UM57-P on an old MacBook Pro OSX El Capitan

Yes. A mid-2011 MacBook Pro running OSX El Capitan can drive a 2560x1080 monitor via HDMI. I was not able to get 60 Hz working. I am settling with 53 Hz. I tried many settings before finding something that works. The refresh rate seems fine to me. Maybe the text could be clearer but for a $200 monitor running this resolution, I'll take it. Apple MacBook 2015 retina resolution is 2560 x 1800. Consider buying a better monitor that may literally give you fewer headaches. Install  SwitchResX Follow the instructions for disabling SIP After rebooting, run SwitchResX via System Preferences Select your LG monitor Click Custom Resolutions Click the + icon  Enter these settings  ( source ) Exit SwitchResX and save Reboot Run SwitchResX via System Preferences Select your LG monitor Click Current Resolutions Select the 2560x1080, 53 Hz setting Enable SIP If you discover better settings, please leave a comment.

Collecting and graphing metrics via Apache Camel, Statsd, and Graphite

If you're curious about Apache Camel's metrics reporting via Dropwizard , this guide will help you get Graphite running in a Docker container. Then you will run an instrumented Camel application and view its metrics via Graphite's browser UI. (1) Install Docker There are many ways to do this depending on your platform. Google it. (2) Install and run the Docker container for Statsd and Graphite Refer to  https://github.com/hopsoft/docker-graphite-statsd The instructions infer that you can run the container without specifying port mappings. This is plain wrong. So use the following command to start the container: docker run -d --name graphite --restart=always -p 80:80 -p 8125:8125/udp hopsoft/graphite-statsd It is not necessary to enable Graphite's UDP listener. Statsd receives metrics via UDP and forwards them to Graphite over TCP. (3) On Windows and OSX, determine the IP address of the graphite Docker container On Linux, you can use localhost. On Win...

How to fix "command aws.codeWhisperer.rejectCodeSuggestion not found"

AWS CodeWhisperer and GitHub Copilot don't get along in VSCode. Rejecting code suggestions sometimes triggers the pop-up (repeatedly) "command aws.codeWhisperer.rejectCodeSuggestion not found." This is especially annoying when using Vim since it breaks the Escape key which is interpreted by VSCode as rejecting code suggestions. Go to Command Palette (Command+Shift+P) Search for: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON) Add: { "key": "escape", "command": "-aws.codeWhisperer.rejectCodeSuggestion", "when": "aws.codewhisperer.connected && inlineSuggestionVisible && !editorReadonly || isCloud9 && suggestWidgetVisible && !editorReadonly" } Restart VS code
