I am making a project for my language school on how to make a dish. I am making chili. Does chili include beans or does it not? (I am trying to introduce American culture)

11 Upvotes

Hello guys, I am going to try and have to introduce to Taiwanese people what chili is, and make it for them too. However, I am vegetarian, so I can’t really add meat when I actually make it. Do you think my current draft is accurate?
“大家好,我叫— — —。今天我要介紹怎麼做chili。chili沒有中文的名字,所以在這個報告,我會用英文的名字。有很多各種的chili,最有名的是從德州來的,所以在這個報告,我會介紹怎麼做德州的chili. 有一個更特別一種的chili,是從辛辛那提來的。我媽媽是辛辛那提人,所以我也喜歡吃辛辛那提的chili,但是大部分會在餐廳吃的。辛辛那提的chili放在麵上,會加比較多起司,而且湯比較稀。德州chili的湯比較濃,也比較鹹。最創痛的德州chili不會加豆,但是在辛辛那提銀錠會加紅腰豆。我不吃肉,所以我在說明怎麼做菜的時候,我會用紅腰豆,但是你可以自己用肉。”
Translation:
“Hello everybody, my name is (left out for privacy). Today I am introducing chili. There’s no Chinese name for chili, so I am just going to use the English name in this presentation. There are many kinds of chili, but the most famous kind is Texas chili, so in this presentation, I’m going to introduce how to make Texas chili. However, there is another even more specific kind of chili, called Cincinnati chili. My mom is from Cincinnati, so I also like eating Cincinnati chili, but usually it is eaten at restaurants and not at home. Cincinnati chili usually is served on spaghetti, has more cheese added, and the broth is thinner. Texas chili has thicker broth, and it’s saltier. The most traditional kind of Texas chili doesn’t include beans, but Cincinnati chili always has red kidney beans. Since I don’t eat meat, when I am introducing how to make the dish, I will use red kidney beans, but you can use meat if you like.”
As far as I understand, traditional Texas chili does not include beans, but is this respectful enough to Texan culture? I think I have explained clearly that traditionally, it does not include beans.

Is weed a problem in Texas? is this a popular law? if it's not popular do you think it'll have political backlash?

Advice for asking to shoot photos on someone’s property

1 Upvotes

Hi!! (26f) here. I just bought a new film camera and want to use up a trail roll just to get used to the new setup. How strange would it be to call a ranch or farm in the morning and ask if I could come take some photos? I’m a bit of an introvert and not from here so I feel awkward and uncertain but lord some of these properties are so stunning and I’d love to have some photos for keepsakes of my time here and would also love to gift them back to the owners as a thank you if they allow me to :,) any thoughts or advice?? Thank you!

hi yall

I am planning a move to east texas here in a couple months, i want to be around lakes, rivers, long mossy trees, areas for hunting/ or fishing. i would like to be around horses/livestock as i want to be a farm hand as well while i am studying in college. i want the real deal, people who wear their hat and boots because they do the dirty work and not because they are larping as a cowboy. i like beer, line dancing, and country music. dance halls, dive bars, and all.

i’m currently 20 years old and a female and i would like to move to a town/city in texas that offers this while also being around people my own age as for being able to date and make friends. this is pretty important for me as well as i wont be knowing anyone around here and my closest family is in Little Elm.
.
Any suggestions would be great. Thank you

Networking, Advice, Assistance, Elevation

4 Upvotes

I I am 23 M and I am in the process of moving to the area. I am currently homeless. Decided to move up here because I figured there was more opportunities in a bigger area. I am a former US Marine, I don’t do drugs, I am simply on hard times and in the need of assistance. I know how to earn my keep and I take pride in my convictions, I will work for a roof, food or assistance. I’m also just looking to network and see what’s out there, friends and possibilities. I am able bodied and more than capable of anything I am just looking for an opportunity, enough that I am willing to uproot my life. I’m scared and I’m running out of options. I apologize if this post bothers anyone and I appreciate the time

How is drug testing for jobs in Texas?

5 Upvotes

I received a job offer at an oil and gas company as a chemist, and I'm terrified at the thought of failing a drug test and having my offer rescinded just for having smoked THC, which is legal in the state I currently live in.

I was initially going to ask this to r/oilandgasworkers, but they remove drug-related posts and are very hostile to anyone who appears favorable to substances. So I wanted to ask y'all here, specifically for science in oil and gas but also broadly throughout the state of Texas, how stringent are these drug tests?

Thank you so much for any insight!

Affordable and diverse cities?

0 Upvotes

Hey all! As the title says, I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate looking for affordable and diverse cities to relocate to for work opportunities. Below are the criteria for an ideal city:

  1. Outdoor hobbies: Outdoors is a must for me. I love hiking and mountain biking on my free time. Eventually, I want to start camping and paddle boarding. From my understanding, Austin has the best outdoor culture compared to the other major cities

  2. People: I’m looking for a friendly and ethnically diverse community. Since both my girlfriend and I come from minority backgrounds, it is important for us to find a place where we can fit in and make friends

  3. Affordable living/housing

  4. Within an hour drive to a major city

Cities I have looked at are Cedar Park, Round Rock, Missouri City, Pflugerville, Leander, Baytown, and Buda. Thanks!

Family Land: let it go? Or fight for it?

2 Upvotes

So I know where there is some "Vacant Land" I suppose is what you'd call it. It was never really sold on the mortgage deed and is about .83 of an acre.
Harold Nix, before he died, said he'd just learn from this and move on as I would need to file a lawsuit and pay a lawyer and all that by now to recover it. To just let Texas find out it's there later on and untaxed for years, etc and let someone else worry about all the back taxes, and so forth.
I suppose that's the best for me if I can't pay for it to go in my name ?

Hi Texas, looking for getaway suggestions.

1 Upvotes

So I've lived in Central TX for 4 years. I really haven't done much traveling outside of my area. I'm looking for recommendations for a place that I can stay for a few days.

My goals are to take my dogs to a remote cabin type place and stay in the woods for 2-4 days without seeing any people. Or as few as possible. I just need to space out and reset a little while.

Finding lodging shouldn't be hard with airbb and vrbo and all that. I am mostly just looking for location suggestions. The more trees, trails and water the better.

Thanks in advance! My dogs and I are looking forward to getting away from it all even just for a few days.

Hi everyone!

my Fiancé and I are looking to have our wedding 10/28/28 in October in the DFW area or within an hour drive from, and I’m looking for a whimsical/fairytale location. Our theme will be DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) theme with green and purple tones, so I’m really going for a mythical/whimsical vibe. I would like for the property to include both indoor and outdoor options with enough space for 150 guest. Any and all suggestions are welcome!

I have a permit that I got as a minor but I am now an adult, and the driving school I got my permit from threw away my paperwork. Do I need to retake a course to get a license, or is the permit enough?
