@nico Yes it was pure cocoa. I add sugar separately.

comment How do you properly drain the grease after browning ground beef?
Not a problem. If you are worried about grease, run hot water, which melts grease. Not only that, but there is also foaming drain opener. I've never had any problems. This worry is an old wives' tale. You'd have to cook for an army and drain it all at once, then let it sit overnight.

comment Keeping A Sauce From Separating
Oh, so that's why that macaroni & cheese recipe called for mustard powder! @Vecta, the oils from the peppers is what contains the spice, and vinegar is mostly water, so the oil & water do not mix. Try a thickening agent like guar gum power, which is like cornstarch, but about 10x stronger, so you only need a tiny bit. It will hold the two antagonistic ingredients in place. I use it for my frappaccinos!

I just made hot cocoa this morning and it was very easy to dissolve. Some little clumps, but they went away when I pressed the back of the spoon against the cup. It's very hard to de-clump green tea or flour.

comment Is there any trick to make a palindrome-cocktail?
I also thought of another idea. Pour 1/3 liquor 1 into a glass, cover with 1/4" of water. Freeze the glass & water to form an ice barrier. Pour liquor 2 on top of ice. Pour liquor 1 on top of liquor 2. Voilá! This can also be repeated to layers 5, 7, etc. Use thicker ice at bottom than top, so as patron drinks, the ice melts by the time they get to that portion.
