List threads can be a nice diversion every now and then, but when all of the ones on the front page start to get made by the same person... but fuck I really like talking about food.

Right now I'm eating ramen noodles, but in the weird ass way that i make them. Which is break em up real good before I cook em I, strain em rather than making the broth, make a sauce in a pan with butter,flour and milk, add in the chicken flavoring packet and then basically add whatever other ingredients on hand that sound good. Today is some shredded cheddar and some kraft parmesan, some grilled chicken that I chopped up and tossed in, umm, some crushed red pepper, franks hot sauce and ranch.

This is all based off of a thing my brother and his best friend used to do as kids. They called it slop, I wish I had a better name for it but I admit right now that this is an unholy mix of ingredients and goddamn it tastes good.

I have this recipe that I like to make all the time whenever I have the ingredients. It's hells of easy to make, and tastes awesome. So I will share it here!

Quote
1 cup honey
1 cup smooth peanut butter
2 cups instant oats
2 cups powdered milk
Take all ingredients, place in large ziplock baggie, and mash together. Add raisins if you want. Consume at leisure.

Technically, it's supposed to be rolled into individual balls of gooey goodness, but I usually just roll it all together and eat.

Anyone have a good recipe for 6 1/2 cups of blueberries?

put it in a pie!
here is my all purpose pie crust + pie filling recipe, there are probably better ones (seriously consult james/slick he is the man) but i like this one, it makes a decent enough pie.

2 3/4 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons cold water
1 egg
1 + 1/2 teaspoons vinegar

blueberries
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water

preheat oven to 350F
combine flour + salt, cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs
whisk separately 3/4 cup water + egg + vinegar
stir into flour until mixture forms a ball
divide dough into 2 balls, wrap in plastic, refridgerate for 4 hours
roll out one ball + place bottom crust into pan
in large bowl combine blueberries + lemon juice + sugar + flour
put in pan, cover with top crust
brush top crust with egg yolk beaten with water
bake in oven for 50-60 minutes, or until filling is bubbly in center + top crust is golden brown

there is no set amount of fruit for this recipe, really, i just kind of fill the crust with fruit. usually it takes about 5-7 cups though so your amount of blueberries should be perfect.

Guys I would really like some recommendations about eggs. They just really aren't my thing. I have never really been a fan of the taste, but it is almost always the texture that makes me gag. I have tried poached eggs from a restaurant and they were ok, until I broke the yoke and then it just got disgusting. I don't really like scrambled eggs or deviled eggs. My boyfriend once made me an omelette that was fantastic and that I wanted more of: he smothered it in salsa and threw in bacon and stuff, too, though. And I like the tiny egg bits in fried rice, but they have to be small.

However, they are just so cheap. I could afford to eat eggs instead of meat and be happy about the money left over. But I can't make myself do it.

Anyone got any advice? Texture is a big thing, please remember.

Katie, what other types of eggs have you tried?  Hard boiled?  sunny-side up?  Maybe the scrambled eggs you had weren't that great.  I am very picky about mine and they need to be super dry and not mushy for me to eat them.  There are ways to enjoy eggs!  Do you like the taste of eggs?  Maybe try removing the yolk to get a different flavor and texture when cooking.

EGGS

i really don't like eggs either but have been eating more lately because 1) they're cheap and 2) i'm trying to get more protein into my unhealthy diet.

so far ways that i have enjoyed eggs are:

*throwing a couple in while frying rice.  eggs + rice + assorted veggies (zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms) + soy sauce. eggs + rice + beans + ground (veggie, in my case) beef + tomatoes.

*throwing a bunch of cheese into my scrambled eggs helps.  i don't really know if that helps with your texture problem but it might.  try cheesy scrambled eggs in a sandwich of toasted bread + tomatoes?

*FRITTATA.  goddamn frittata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frittata) is so delicious, i want to go home and eat some right now.  it is the only eggy thing that i truly like.  my roommate made a spaghetti frittata once that was super amazing.  here (http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/got-leftover-spaghetti-make-a-frittata/) is a recipe for it.  it is not the one she used so i don't know if it's any good but how hard could it be?

QFT. You can make a really big, filling fritatta for cheap. I make it with 4-6 medium/large potatoes, a few bell peppers, onions, 8-11 eggs, and a shitfuckton of cheese. Julienne the potatoes and cook them til they're just tender, lightly saute the other veggies, whip up the eggs with a splash of milk, mix it all up with the cheese, pour it into a casserole dish and cook it at 315oF for about 40 minutes, then take it out, mix it up again, sprinkle with parmesan and paprika, then put it back in til it's firm. So delicious. Oh yeah, and you can add leftover things like pasta and veggies from the night(s) before!

Anyway! I'm being forced to go to the Mandarin today, which is like a big Chinese-Canadian buffet. It's terrible crap food but all the kids from the office have agreed this is the place we are going.

Dear food thread, I completely forgot to tell you! You remember that large piece of fresh salmon fillet I bought? Well, I prepared some delicious thick tomato-sauce with lots of chopped olives in it, and some mustardseed-oil and stuff, and cooked/baked/poached the salmon in it, in the oven (just put it in the sauce with the skin facing up), then I ate it.

But THEN I decided I wanted a picknick so I called together the troops and we had yummy salads in the grass, in the sun, on a blanket, with lots of yummy wine and strawberries.

So, in summary: I ate summer :o :o :o it was good

MSG + whatever's swept up off the floor of the potato chip plant.

I imagine it's somewhat close to Pringles Loaded Baked Potato, but I can't confirm that.

Sweet potato pie!

Also, regarding eggs: Something my friend used to do was cook up some ramen (she didn't use the seasoning) and then while the water was boiling, with the noodles in it, crack a raw egg into it, and it was delicious. And I don't even like eggs.

The hearty breakfast bowl from jack in the box was a mistake. I should have just had the egg rolls. Oh god, I already regret it and I finished it like 3 minutes ago.

On eggs: My favorite way to eat eggs is hardboiled, they are pretty simple to make and so freakin good.
Guys, I think I am gonna try and go over to my parents house a bunch so I can learn to cook from my stepdad. He worked in kitchens (black angus and whatnot) most of his way through college so he is damn good at cooking. Like seriously he makes the best steaks I have ever had.

Apricots and water.

I cut the apricots in half, remove the pit, and then eat them from the inside.

Then I turn the skins inside out and fold them so I can eat them while minimizing contact with the fuzzy side.

Am I the only one who loves peaches and apricots but is weirded out by the fuzzy skins?

Caleb, if you actually washed your fruit before you ate it, you would know that the fuzz comes off pretty easily with a little friction from your fingers. Barring that, I peel them with my fingers and eat them that way.

I wash everything that I eat.  I guess the apricots I got aren't ripe enough or I didn't scrub them hard enough.

I like my way.  This way I get all the fiber and good stuff from the skins.

Crab. Oh God I love crab meat so much.

The funny thing is how evil you feel when preparing a crab from scratch:

1: Boil water
2: Add live crab
3: Wait for a while
4: Remove now boiled to dead crab
5: Smash it's limbs and pluck out whatever's inside.

Cows get it easy. You just cut their neck or shoot them. Crabs are boiled to death. They are fucking awesome food, though. Take crab meat, add a bit of vinegar and pepper, and spread it over toast. Yes.

A few nights ago I cooked dinner and we had fried mashed potato discs with pesto in the mash (I made them a bit too thick so they didn't fry well) and stir-fried vegetables with some rice. It was suprisingly good! I improvise pretty well but I'm terrible at following recipes.

I guess this could also have gone in the cooking thread.

Sandwiches can be much better with just a little bit of frying. I bought a ham because they were on sale so I
-chopped and fried half an onion
-pushed the onion to the side to make space for two slunks of ham
-after flipping the ham pieces, put the onions on top of them followed with some grated cheddar cheese
-transfered the pieces onto two pieces of baguette that was prepped with mayo

yum.

NC barbecue does not have the thick, sweet, tomato-y "BBQ sauce" on it.  It is not required if you do it right.  Admittedly, a none of the places up here do it right.

I don't know about chicken, but barbecue consists only of pork in my eyes.

I have no doubt that it might be tasty, I would just never call it barbecue unless it was cooked in a pit for six or more hours.  And was a pig.

Though, maybe the people up here would recognize what you make as barbecue and you'd do just fine.  Of course, I'm basing this on what I've found in Rochester, which is a terrible thing to do.  Rochesterians in general have no palette to speak of.  They enjoy something called a garbage plate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Tahou_Hots).

To be fair, most of the guys that I know up north who are really, really into barbecue tend to come from southern families. Chicago, for example, has a lot of blacks whose parents migrated up north to be part of the local meatpacking industry. Combine that with the fact that Chicago was basically the hog slaughtering capital of the world up until recently, and you end up with a lot of guys who take their pork roasting waaaaay too seriously.

It was surprisingly simple, I just copied this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzp_0snR2FE#t=3m57s) and, while it wasn't Kuma's calibre, it was still pretty sick. My actual, honest-to-God life's ambition is to open up a legit burger place, the kind you'd find on A Hamburger Today (http://aht.seriouseats.com/) or something. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to tie Asian cuisine into it - but I might put that on the backburner while I figure out a bun to go on, and try my hand at just creating a simple, elegant cheeseburger.

A place in Charleston, where I used to live, did a foie gras burger for their lunch menu.  I know, it sounds like something that you do to lure foodies in, and maybe it is.  It is also delicious and should always be split between two people (yes, one burger).  That chef left to do other things and the current chef apparently disagrees with the idea that lunch is a good thing for a restaurant to do.  Basically, I love the foodie movement towards burgers, because burgers are fucking delicious and I'm glad that restaurants are now treating them with the respect they deserve.

Johnny, at a certain point in life, usually in the 20s, a person is faced with a particular choice: either they can be thin, or they can eat what they enjoy eating. Personally I would rather have a belly and be carefree about eating food I enjoy, than worry and fret over every calory I ingest and have a nice slim body.

To put it another way: a couple of Christmases ago I was having an idle think about this, and something occurred to me: sure, there are accepted health benefits to minimising one's cholesterol intake - but aren't there also accepted health benefits to being stress-free? I'd rather be stress free and enjoy eating than stress about my diet and never eat salami or chocolate cake again.

I call it the "You Only Live Once" diet, and I've been on it for some time now.

I was just reading about Kuma's today, after Cosmo Lee (http://invisibleoranges.com/2009/10/insect-warfare-atlas-moth-burgers-tours.html) (probably the smartest metal blogger going around at the moment, with the possible exception of John Darnielle (http://www.lastplanetojakarta.com/), if that kind of thing interests you.) made a post about it. It never occurred to me to try to recreate one of the burgers. I think I might take a swing at the Neurosis or maybe even the Judas Priest sometime though.

Harry, your post has caused me to make a serious reappraisal of my priorities. No shit. I tend to be really self-conscious about my belly and it causes me no small amount of consternation daily.

But on the other hand, despite not making a great effort to exercise and having pretty bad impulse control when it comes to food, I'm not gaining weight either. I seem to have plateau'd at "kind of chubby". Of course, even when I was focusing on exercising every day and eating better, I wasn't losing weight then either. Also I have a long-term girlfriend who thinks I'm pretty decent, I'm popular (on the Internet) and I can cook a serious steak.

Maybe I'm going to be O.K.

Yes, I was being rather facetious, but at the same time I do advocate worrying less and enjoying your food more. I don't advocate deep-frying everything and choosing the "extra large, extra sugar" option wherever possible because, frankly, that's a disgusting abuse of food. But by and large I consume what I like (by which I mean if the "less healthy" food option is genuinely tastier and more enjoyable, then I go for it - see, for instance, full-cream millk vs. skim milk), I stay active by riding my bike everywhere, walking to the shops, and playing touch football (all things I enjoy doing), and I don't worry about the fact that my belly's larger now than it was ten years ago.

Um yeah, this!

It's not like by "stop worrying" and "enjoy life more" that means that I am going to park myself on the couch and surround myself with a fort made of Pringles cans and KFC boxes until I eat my way out. That would make me not enjoy life much at all! Sometimes I enjoy doing exercise (usually when I feel like I don't have to do it, I just want to), and I really don't mind most low-fat/sugar/salt/whatever alternatives.

If you cut the first slice and it's not quite baked all the way through, you can just stick it back in the oven for a little bit longer. Won't hurt the bread at all.

Also, welcome to the wonderful world of home-made bread! Always remember the one simple golden rule: do not skimp on the kneading. DO NOT EVER GIVE IN TO THE TEMPTATION TO BE A BIT SLACK ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU HAVE TO SPEND KNEADING THE DOUGH.

High heat for a small amount of time.  Also, if you can get them with rib meat still attached, it'll help keep them moist.  The thermometers that you can put in the meat, and read it outside your oven are great, just don't wait until they're 165F to remove them, because they'll keep heating up, and you'll get dry, unappetizing chicken breasts.  Or you can slice them thinly, cook them in a pan at high heat for a short amount of time.  Then there's the great cooking method that is becoming a great idea as it gets colder in the awesome parts of the world: braising.

Hold up a tick, how do they keep heating up once you've removed them? That seems totally counter-intuitive. I would accept that they keep drying out and/or that the moisture keeps evaporating, but I do not think it is possible for them to keep heating up.
Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: Bastardous Bassist on 16 Oct 2009, 22:58
The outside is hotter than the inside.  If you've got the thermometer correctly placed, it'll be in the last place to heat up to correct temp, which means other places have already heated up to the correct temp.  That heat distributes through the entire breast quickly, but not so quickly that what you read on the thermometer will be what you read 5 minutes after you've taken it out of the oven.

*I tried my usual trick of pre-baking the potato but I decided AFTER that to try shredded hash browns and I gotta say it makes more sense to only do one of those things. Shredded are cooler though so next time I'm just gonna straight up shred a grip of potato and fry it. hell yes

Moose roast with cooked potatoes and a brown sauce. Meat is hunted, killed and prepared by me and I marinated the meat with a barbecue sauce with blackpepper, chili, salt and garlic. For drink I bought a bottle of red wine:  Dumisani Pinotage Shiraz. Now I all I need is someone to eat all this great food with.

I am so fucking sick of eating up this goddamned ham. One of my roommates is a vegetarian, the other has been on tour for a week (no idea when he gets back), so I've just got this whole fucking ham to eat.

Breakfast was a thick slice of ham, fried, topped with a fried egg and cheddar cheese. It was tasty.
Lunch was a ham fucking sandwich.
Supper was tortellini with sauce augmented with sausage and the reduction of chicken stock I've got sitting in my freezer. No fucking ham there.

I will be eating spaghetti & meatballs. I re-hydrated some dried tomatoes and hot peppers I dried myself (so much tastier) in some wine, mixed that with the beef and an egg, now I'm going to fry them before flambéing them in this silly ukrainian vodka I just bought (it is hot red pepper and honey vodka? the last time I saw this brand in Canada it was just a really good vodka so I figured I would try it) and then simmering them in the sauce plus the leftover wine from re-hydrating them.
I mean fuck spaghetti and meat balls is so good.

Also I figured out how to eat the last of my ham! I'm making chicken pies this weekend (thanks may for making me think about pie) and I'm just going to mince/chop the ham and throw it in with the filling for the pie. Done with that ham! I guess two and a half weeks of meat for eight bucks was a good deal.

Also Slick I am interested in what you say about drying peppers. I've always loved those little flakes you buy to put on stuff but really peppers can be so tasty and if you can get dried ones to reflect that then I am excited.
Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: Slick on 24 Oct 2009, 21:21
DRIED PEPPERS

OK this shit is pretty simple.
-Get some fuckin' peppers.
-Get some fuckin' cooling racks and some baking pans.
-Wash the peppers, stem them, and halve them length-wise (if they are really hot peppers wear some gloves)
-Put the racks on the pans, put the peppers on the racks
-Turn your oven to like 120º-140º F, put the rack assemblies into the oven.
-Leave the oven propped open a crack with something
-If your oven has a convection setting, use that

So tiny chillies take maybe six hours to dry, but some larger, less hot peppers took a good two days at low heat. I actually think the less hot peppers were a better investment of my time, because you can buy dried hot peppers but not dried tasty hot peppers. And if they aren't too hot they work a lot better on sandwiches in my opinion.

So your goal in drying them is to get a dried pepper. Usually I process them till nearly brittle because my knowledge is all self-acquired so I err on the safe side of dry. You can leave them a little softer, though, as this makes them a bit easier to use on sandwiches and things. Just take a day when you'll be home and leave them going, and don't worry too much if you have to pop out for half an hour because it's not that big of a deal. When drying the bigger peppers, I would usually turn the oven down to as low as possible overnight because I was afraid they'd dry out too much while I was sleeping, but this wasn't a problem in the end.

When they're dry, store them however is convenient. Your storage solution should include, though, some element of air-tightness, darkness, and coolness. Zip-locs should be OK, though I put mine in mason jars and leave them in a disused cupboard.

You can rehydrate them in water and use said water for something tasty, or rehydrate them in something tasty and use that for something tasty. Typically I'll just throw them into dishes that are already using water in the cooking process though. They should grind fairly well in a mortar & pestle or spice/coffee grinder (dry them till brittle is powder is your aim) but don't grind more than you can use in the next little while. Fresh ground is way better, so leave the peppers whole and have a small spice jar with ground peppers that you refill as necessary.

My favorite application right now is on sandwiches. A couple of large pieces of dried hot pepper go amazingly on sandwiches.

Anyways! That's dried peppers!

I want to make a vegetarian curry for the girl I just started dating who is vegetarian. So far I'm working with a recipe that calls for onion, carrot, cauliflower and potatoes, obviously all over rice. It is spiced with curry powder, turmeric, and black and red pepper, to which I'll probably add cumin and paprika because I love those thing too much to not add them.

Are there any suggestions as to what else I could toss in there?
Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: Inlander on 27 Oct 2009, 00:01
Well for starters with curry powder, turmeric, black pepper, red pepper, and paprika, it's going to be pretty damned fiery, so make sure she likes hot food. Or do away with one or more of those spices.

Do you know what spices are in the curry powder? A standard spice to put in an Indian curry (which is what it sounds like you're going for) is ground coriander - though I know one person who is extremely allergic to coriander, so you might want to make sure the girl in question is okay with it. Crushed green cardamon pods also add a really nice, mildly gingery flavour to a curry - crush them with the flat of a knife, just lightly so that the skin is broken and the seeds are exposed. They sound exotic but you should be able to get them in the spice section of any supermarket. Ground fennel would also work well with the ingredients you've got so far. If you're feeling adventurous you could chuck in some ground fenugreek, but it's certainly not to everyone's taste.

Oh yes.  I just made some nachos.  Nothing fancy, just some tortilla chips, pepper jack cheese, some Spanish chorizo picante (sliced really thin, to practice my knife skills) and some roasted chipotle salsa.  I would have liked to put them under the broiler to get some nice color on the cheese, but the plate I made it on is not rated for that sort of thing, and I only wanted to dirty up one thing.

Over Saturday and Friday I made my own pizza again, but this time I let it sit in the fridge overnight and then left it on the counter for a couple hours before stretching it out and topping it. Turned the oven up to fuckin' 550˚, left the stone on the bottom fuckin' rack, put the pizza on a fuckin' floured baking sheet, slid that motherfucker into the goddamn oven, let it cook for about six minutes and pulled out a pizza with a beautiful, charred, crispy outside and a soft, airy inside.

Did I mention I topped it with some of those little soft mozzarella balls, some prosciutto salami, fresh basil leaves and homemade tomato sauce? I didn't? That's what I did.

OK so I have just discovered we get the food network and man it is great. Just saw an 'At the Table With...' with this guy from Dallas who worked at The Mansion on Turtle Creek or something and did a lot of southern food cooking and then I was really hungry. So, I wanted something southern and delicious and makeable with what I had.

-Heat pan, add butter when hot.
-When butter has coated pan, throw in two handfuls of corn kernels and grate half a large potato over the pan and then mix it up and let it fry.
-While that's frying, in a food processor combine maybe three chicken thighs worth of meat (I buy bone-in chicken thighs and de-bone them amateurly so I measure chicken by the handful as well) with three cloves of garlic and a chipotle pepper or two, depending on how you like it.
-Add some reduced stock to the pan and let that cook off (if you do not have a reduction of corn-mushroom broth sitting around, just use some stock or whatever. I just wanted to use the stuff)
-Dump the ground chicken mess in there to, mix it up, fry it up.
-When the chicken is cooked, add two eggs and some grated cheddar, and mix up some more
-Serve topped with grated cheese and pepper as you like

So I would have eaten this on a pita or a bed of rice or whatever but didn't have any. Also, I would have added some diced olives in the last couple minutes of frying but my roommate who I was cooking for as well doesn't like them.
Basically I was going to make an omelette and then had way to much stuff in the pan so instead of an omelette it was a fry-up. It was pretty darn tasty.
Very comfort-food; fun to shovel in and eat with the soft chicken-egg texture plus fried corn and shredded potato. Plus cheese on top of something is great too.

For a most delishious veggie pasta, id recommend the following:

Ravioli with roasted paprika and feta (4 person recipe)

Needed:

2 Large (as in, bout the lenght of an underarm, diametre of a wrist) carrots
1 pot/jar of roasted paprika's
200gr of feta
1 twig of fresh rosemary
40gr of hazelnuts
2 cloves of garlic
500gr of fresh ravioli (with cheese, tomatoes, whatever you want)

How to make this?!

1:

Scrape clean the carrot, cut it in 4 pieces (lenghtwise) and dice those up.
Slice up the paprika.

2:

Roast the hazelnuts in a dry wok untill they are goldenbrown and crispy. Then take them out and put them aside.

3:

Put some oil into the wok, squish the garlic and bake for about a minute.
Add the carrot and all the rosemary needles, bake for 2ish minutes.

Add 150ml of water, and put a large lid over the entirety.

Let it stew for 6 minutes (or longer. Untill the water is mostly evaporated)

4:
In the meantime, boil the ravoili as it should be boiled. Drain all the water away.

5:

When the water is mostly gone from the wok, add in the paprika and ravioli. Stir everything together for a few minutes

6:

Just before you start piling the food on your plates, chuck in the feta, stir it through as well. (i like to leave the wok on the fire for another minute for slightly better melty feta).
Garnish with hazelnuts (or just chuck them in with the feta)

Title: Re: What are you eating?

If you've got fatty sausages, don't even bother with oil for frying them. Poke them a couple times each with a knife, then fry up your peppers (plus onions and mushrooms!) in that oil for maximal deliciousness. Onion really takes to that sausage fat nicely and gets delicious when caramelized in it.

You lose some flavour but not too much plus that flavour gets soaked up by the veggies/fungi in the frying pan anyways.

I usually want sausages for supper, but then they are frozen and I don't want to bother thawing them, so I slice them while frozen so I can fry them from frozen, then the juices leak out so I fry things in the juice and eat it all together on a bed of rice.

After reading this thread last night at work I decided to go home and cook up some sausages, mushrooms and onions in the hopes that eating some lovely food might make me feel a bit less down. Instead I got home, ate three containers of leftover spagetti, a loaf of garlic bread, two slices of leftover pepperoni pizza, some 15 month old cheddar cheese (probably the highlight of the evenings meal) and about 150g of cooking chocolate.

Dang.

I am eating some of the worst soup I've had. I'm sitting in the Halifax airport (oh hey Andy what is up?) eating Tim Horton's because it is cheaper than other places in here, and I tried the soup/sandwich combo and got the creamy wild mushroom soup. It is based on a broth of what I think is stale bread and discount mushrooms, plus a lot (a lot!) of cornstarch and gelatin to make it 'creamy'. It jiggles. I'm kind of stuck eating it because I am hungover hungry and unslept and it has some nutrients or just salt that I am craving. It is so atrocious though, but I can not stop.
Think of it like one of those awful car wrecks where you really want to look away but can't and then all of a sudden you are feasting on the bodies.

So, I half-assedly search for a better food thread, one about making food maybe, but to no avail. So anyway...

Tomorrow night, I am making a chicken. Probably roasting it. Maybe. I have chicken broth, and orange juice, and rosemary, and basil, and lots of other things, and am not really sure what to do with the chicken. I was originally just going to roast it is various herbs, in the chicken broth, and probably some butter and salt and pepper. But then the two gallons of delicious orange juice called out to me and begged me to include them as well. Now I'm thinking something with the orange juice and rosemary, but what?

Also, I have fresh cranberries that could be tossed into the mix somewhere.

only excuse to put blue cheese on a burger is you don't give a fuck about the way the burger tastes and you just like slapping a bunch of overpowering shit on your meat. if you're puttin fuckin gorgonzola or whaever on your burger then you definitely aren't putting enough thought into the meat you're using cause you want to let that breathe rather than smother it.

(note: blue cheese is acceptable when rendered a sauce and applied in controlled volumes)

Pedantry about to commence:

I always get confused between 'breath' and 'breathe' because apparently you don't necessarily need the 'e' if you mean 'breathe' (or so I've been told, repeatedly), so reading that sentence led to a few moments of confusion. Hilarious confusion. Well, fairly amusing confusion.

Post by: David_Dovey on 31 Dec 2009, 10:41
By showing one way it can be done in a non-overpowering way. I tend to put it on un-cut but I basically use a very soft cheese and spread it on as thin as humanly possible, like one might with avocado or some such.

It is absurd! It is a just a bastardization of tzatziki sauce because donairs are a derivative of doner kabob/gyros. It is a pretty tasty dipping sauce, though. People like sweet things in the East. Donairs and Pepsi.

Edit: some epic improvisation later, it is now slightly-singed mushroom, fried onion, tomato sauce, cheese sauce and mushroom cup-a-soup (with croutons) lasagne. Only another hour to cook in the oven and I can taste it.

I wish I had a camera just to take pictures of food with. Yesterday I carmelized a freshly-made blackberry BBQ sauce onto some ribs and served them with roast potatoes, this afternoon I've perfected my bacon & mushroom risotto (TIPS: Reserve the bacon grease to sauté the mushrooms first, and then reserve the subsequent liquids so that the bacon-y flavour lightly permeates the onion & garlic as well as the mushrooms. Then, when making the broth, make sure it's a little diluted so that you get the richness of flavour but not nearly as much of the salt. Finally, instead of something super salty for cheese, try something lighter and creamier, like mozzarella or the wheel of camembert that's sitting in my fridge. My first go at it was wayyyyyy too salty but these all helped), and tonight I'm going to bake a potato, blanche some carrots and then quickly toss them in herbed butter, and then grill up a steak and cover it in the leftover blackberry BBQ sauce.

next week is probably all kraft dinner

Bacon and perogies are so amazing. I had bacon and perogies for lunch, with sour cream and some homemade mustard on the side.
Homemade mustard was pretty good! Two tablespoons mustard seeds, crushed coarsely in a ziplock bag with an empty wine bottle because I do not have a mortar and pestle anymore, plus four tablespoons balsamic vinegar and a pinch of crushed dried hot pepper. Normally I do 1:1 mustard to solvent but I just added extra vinegar for no apparent reason. Worked out pretty amazingly deliciously.

I just made nachos out of these really cool gourmet tortilla chips, topped with a 3-cheese blend, pickled jalapenos, marinated grilled chicken and that crema fresca stuff that's like sour cream only I'm pretty sure its more, alive. They were delicious and reminded me of home.

the other night i fucking roasted beef! i did a simple rub of plenty o' cracked black pepper and some salt. the first half hour i realized there were no drippings to speak of so i added a couple cups of beef broth over the next few hours to even shit out. unfortunately that means the root veggies i cooked in with it didnt quite get roasted properly, but they were tasty anyways. i have ideas for how to improve next time.

Last night I was hungry so I made cupcakes but I forgot to put baking powder in so they didn't rise and I didn't have caster sugar but it came out okay tasting with regular sugar and I was experimenting with the oven at my new place so the bottoms are burnt and the tops are pale. Then I made a buttload of chocolate frosting because I slipped with the milk (soy milk too! blegh) and the icing sugar was really lumpy but a bit of a whiz with my mixer turned it out okay and really they taste all right but I am not proud.

I'm all for experimentation and adventure, but adding pop to cooking usually comes out as more of a gimmick for kicks than a necessary ingredient. If you hit chicken with enough sweet sauces and marinades it'll come out pretty good pretty easy.

Post by: StreetSpirit on 10 Feb 2010, 09:05
Certain sodas do work well as another option to water and brown sugar for a pre woodsmoke brine on fish or chicken to add a nice touch of sweetness and tenderness to the meat. Though, I probably wouldn't use an energy drink, likely just one of the brown sodas for their slightly herbal tastes and richness in sugars.

He's probably just active. I need to eat around 2,700 calories a day to maintain my current weight and since I actually want to put some on that means I'm eating around 3,200 calories most days.

I'm honestly glad I don't need to eat much more than 3k though. I have no idea how my cousin does it. I mean, it helps that the dude is basically the size of a refrigerator (he is Jeph huge and was bulking up at the time he mentioned the 5k+ number), but I still have no idea how the hell he does it. If you asked me to eat that much and exercise in the same day I'd predict very few reps and a whole lot of vomiting. I guess he downs a shit ton of protein powder a day, but still.

I've experienced the deep friend oreo as well, and was also pleasantly surprised. It was nice to know they used a good funnel cake-esc dough for the breading, making the final creation a distant relative of the stuffed doughnut. I think you are right about a little sauce on top though, some tart berry coulis would definitely add a nice compliment to the extremely rich fried cookie.

here's a big photo dump of foods i've made & eated recently

PORKCHOP & SALAD

(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k157/jcsunshine/LADIES%20STEP%202%20DIS/Photo268.jpg)

Porkchop was marinated with pepper, garlic, coriander and Orangina. The salad is spinach with crushed walnuts, pan-roasted pine nuts and chopped pear, topped with a homemade maple-balsamic vinaigrette and shaved parmesan.

ROASTED BEEFS

(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k157/jcsunshine/LADIES%20STEP%202%20DIS/Photo274.jpg)

Just roasted, nothin' special. Served with roasted root veggies and garlic herb mashed potatoes. I was too stupid to check the grain prior to roasting which is why the slices look so stupid.

CHILI

(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k157/jcsunshine/LADIES%20STEP%202%20DIS/Photo278.jpg)

Made this yesterday in the slow cooker. Could have used a lot more seasoning all around but mostly good. Cheese, sour cream and green onion were a good topping idea. This was awesome til I spent an hour on the phone and it got cold.

BMA RISOTTO

(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k157/jcsunshine/LADIES%20STEP%202%20DIS/Photo277.jpg)

Risotto made with bacon and mushroom; used shallots rather than onion and less white wine than I should have. I used white cheddar and a bit of parmesan for the cheese because just using parmesan was way too salty. Browned some apples in butter and put them on top. Considering not using mushrooms last time, just because the dish maybe doesn't need them. Also considering using maple syrup next time, to compliment pretty much everything. I'm eating this right now and drinking an Anchor Steam. Life's almost good.

Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: Johnny C on 13 Feb 2010, 13:42
Yeah. My folks bought me a nice deep roasting pan, although it's seriously lacking in the rack department. I borrowed a wire rack and let the roast sit on top of that, and then I just let the veggies lie underneath.

It was an inside round and pretty lean so I had to augment the cooking process with some beef broth. Not ideal but it kept the meat moist.
Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: Slick on 13 Feb 2010, 13:54
Things roasted with roasts are some of my favorite things. It's gotten to the point where, when roasting a chicken, I get like six portobellos and quarter them and roast them with the chicken because I like those maybe more than I like chicken.

Also I like how you can not get away from mass effect two even while eating.

He's probably just active. I need to eat around 2,700 calories a day to maintain my current weight and since I actually want to put some on that means I'm eating around 3,200 calories most days. I'm hardly a large man at 5 foot 8 inches either. I think my cousin eats somewhere around 5.5k calories a day now.
Aw man, me too. Pretty much exactly the same thing, except for the height. I've been trying to eat 3200 calories a day, and it is so hard. It would be so much easier if I was going to a residential college, with a 3 meals a day cafeteria, all I could eat. I've lost two pounds each of the last two weeks, putting me at less than 160 pounds and almost 6'2". I'm trying to get up to 180lbs or a bit more, I'm going to have to start going to a buffet every day or something. Maybe protein powder would help, does it have calories or did they do some sort of magic to it to make it 0 calories?

The funny thing is that since I lost two pounds each week, that would average out to 1000 calories low each day, and I know I haven't been that short, so it must be estimating low for me. Then again, I'm doing HIIT three days a week, which consumes more calories than it should for the amount of time it takes.

TL;DR how the hell is more than half the country fat.

I'm often still asleep at 12 on days when I don't have to be in lectures (basically just Saturdays and every second Thursday). It might be a bit hard for you to remember all the way back to being a student but late nights = late mornings (did I just make my first "JHocking is really old" joke?).

Is this a regular occurrence? wtf man stop being so lazy and wake the fuck up

Yeah, for like 7 days in a row I didn't get up before 6pm. Now I've been doing alright with getting up right around 10am. The problem is that I don't end up being hungry until around 3 or 4pm and I end up eating with my aunt at just past 5 most days.

Maybe protein powder would help, does it have calories or did they do some sort of magic to it to make it 0 calories?

Nah, protein powders are generally derived from soy or dairy products, usually whey. The higher end whey isolate protein brands usually clock in somewhere around 110-120 calories per 30 grams from what I've seen, and drinking calories is generally easier than eating them. That said, I don't use them. Most of my protein comes from beans 'n' rice (usually in a small home-made burrito), eggs, tuna, cottage cheese and ham sandwiches. I eat enough cottage cheese that cutting some out in favor of pretty big dose protein powder probably wouldn't be too big of a deal nutritionally, but I just don't want to get in the habit of trying to replace meals with a drink, since I already kinda slack on eating enough fruit and vegetables as it is.
Title: Re: What are you eating?

By the way, if you're not regularly eating beans, you should probably give that a shot. I personally never had the gassy issue some people complain of, and most people kinda grow out of that after eating them for long enough anyway. More importantly, beans are cheap as hell, they have protein AND fiber plus they're low fat, so they're definitely good starving college student food. Dry beans have a slightly annoying cook time, but they're dead easy and a decent sized batch made on Sunday usually lasts me until Wednesday.

Allison has a nice looking cupcake Bruce Willis tackling a harrier notwithstanding.

Also, properly soaking and cooking beans gets rid of most of the oligosaccharides which are the sugars that your tummy can't digest but your colon bacteria can. Just make sure you observe the proper soaking and cooking times and farts won't be an issue.

So is that a large amount of calories then? I'm not really sure how much protein powder you are supposed to use for each cup of liquid you mix it into.

I've been drinking a lot of milk recently, since it has a good amount of calories without being pure teeth-rotting sugar, I'm pretty good on the protein front, eating a lot of nuts and tuna and chili (although it has beans in it so it isn't really chili but I'm not a chili stickler so I don't give a damn). I just have a hard time stuffing enough down my throat to gain weight. Is it important to not have too much protein, or does it just get sent out the other end if the body can't use it?

It probably helps that I am really stingy and don't do my own shopping, so I never buy junk food (unless you count a soda and a muffin between classes when I haven't eaten all day, but I avoid that). I could barely afford any, and I've got much better things to do with my money.

I made an omelette that didn't end up falling apart and becoming chunky scrambled eggs!

I basically went with phil's steps, cooking some onion and tomato, then pouring the eggs (which I may have forgotten to scramble before putting the stuff on to cook) over the top. About then I thought that some soy sauce might be a good addition, so I put a little bit on the cooking eggs and hoped for the best, before adding some tuna and cheese and folding the whole thing in half.

It is delicious! It broke a little when folding it over, but still is in one piece. Next time I will add more soy sauce to the eggs in teh mixing stage, and maybe cut down all the ingredients, because this thing is huge, and I probably won't finish it.

I just checked out the label of the stuff my brother uses, and it recommends one scoop (the aforementioned 30 grams) to 6-8 ounces of water, so it's pretty comparable to milk as far as calories per ounce goes. Anyway, I think part of the draw of protein powder has to do with some crap about being faster or slower to digest/absorb depending on what type of protein it's being derived from-- I guess lifters are trying to make sure that there's always some protein in their system so their bodies can recover fast. I don't honestly know how much I buy into that kinda thing or whether that would really have any benefits-- like I said, I don't personally use this stuff. In any case it doesn't sound terribly applicable to what you're trying to do.

As for whether it's possible to have too much protein, the jury was mixed on that one last I heard. Basically, your body can't store excess protein, so excess is pretty bad if you have kidney disease, but if you're healthy your body should be able to pass it on its own. With that said, I've heard before that there's a correlation between countries with really high protein intake and increased kidney disease, but I have no idea how accurate that is since it is falls under the category of "Something I heard that one time." And of course, there's always the bugbear of whether we're talking causation or mere correlation.

Regardless, just upping your protein consumption alone probably isn't the best route to getting your calories up, particularly since most people probably get more than enough protein anyway. Some decent carbs and fats may be in order, like pastas and avocado.

@ alex: Maybe, but I'm not sure I'm eating enough protein. I tend to eat a lot of bread normally, and not much meat or beans or nuts unless I force myself to. I was mainly considering using the protein powder as a partial replacement for the ovaltine I'm drinking to make the milk palatable. Especially since I am wanting to start drinking a lot more of my calories. I'm forcing myself to eat as it is, which is unpleasant, and I'm still losing weight. Do you know of anything that's good for that, if you don't recommend protein powder? I am trying to gain about 20 pounds of muscle, probably more like 25 or 30 if I try to lose some more fat as well. I really ought to talk to my doctor when I can, but I don't think I have a check-up scheduled any time soon, and I'm not even sure how much standard family doctors have to know about specialized nutrition. I'm not sure if that is the right term, but I'm in America and having a hard time not heading towards underweight, that's pretty damn special.

I dunno how much cooking you do from scratch but start doing that. My weight and health have both improved since I stopped cooking from boxes. Don't go shopping around mealtime, either - do it after you've eaten, preferably mid-afternoon. Only shop a couple of days in advance, unless you see really good prices on bulk stuff (meat is usually the prime example of this - I got like three racks of ribs just chillin' in my freezer right now). Buy stuff like fruits and veggies and keep those around as snacks.

If you're having trouble doing this, start planning meals a couple of days in advance. Read cookbooks and find something that interests you. Look up some blogs. It's easy enough once you know what to look for.

Of course, because someone that wants to weigh about 180-190 pounds at 6'2" is obviously trying to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm tired of being weak, slow, and quick to tire, and since I don't have the opportunities that previous generations had to get ridiculously strong (although I can't say I'm unhappy that I'm not going to be mining coal starting at 16 and ending when I die from Black Lung), I am using weights and gymnastic equipment and running. I would much rather just transplant my consciousness into a T1000 chassis, but Cyberdyne won't sell me one, so I'm stuck with this meatsack.

Ikrik, one suggestion I have heard a lot is make something big that will last a while, pots of rice or beans are good, something that you can eat pretty regularly most of the week after just cooking once. That way you are more likely to eat healthily than if you had to cook healthy three times a day.

potatoes are great because they're cheap as fuck, easy to make into a myriad of different foods, they last forever, and they have very little substance so you can be "full" but not necessarily filled with fat and salt and other bad stuff. Obviously, you can add that stuff if you want (like me) but if you're trying to lose weight instead of gain it, I'd advise against it.

I wish I was good at putting stuff with pasta and having it taste really nice.
I made a roast pumpkin pasta with roast cherry toms and basil but it was really boring and needed something. Also I made a napoletana sauce and tossed pasta in it with sliced ham but that was pretty boring too.
Now I am going home to reheat leftovers of these pastas for dinner.
I am not particularly excited.

Ally, darling. Cheese. I am pretty sure that if you made both of those again but mixed a lot of either Gouda or Blue cheese in with the pumpkin thing, and threw a mess of chevre into the napoletana, you'd be psyched.

Also, add white wine to the pumpkin sauce, and red to the other. Promise.

And more salt and pepper.

Last night, for instance, I julienned some carrots and cooked them in a frying pan in olive oil until they were sweet and soft, and I steamed some fennel and white beans and kale and to go on the side I made a really, really simple tomato sauce by peeling and chopping some tomatoes and then cooking them for a while in a small saucepan with some capers and salt and ground fennel seeds.

That's it, really simple and really delicious.

Mushrooms, onion, peas, bacon, and baby spinach leaves make for a really tasty risotto. Obviously put the spinach in right at the end because it cooks so quickly and shrinks down so much. Fry the onions, mushrooms, and bacon in some olive oil before adding the rice and liquid. Put the peas in some time towards the end of cooking the risotto as they don't take long to cook. Also if you put just a dash of nutmeg in it's really tasty. Before serving stir through some grated parmesan and fresh parsley (flat-leaf, not curly-leaf, because curly-leaf parsley is bullshit).

The Pilaf actually came out bomb, I was happier with that than anything else.

The pork was... tasty? I think if I had it to do over again I'd use more rosemary, and add something to the sauce. I'm realizing now that some cheese woulda worked, added some richness, some bite. The dish overall was tasty, but kinda bland, I guess. It also might be improved by using balsamic instead of red wine vinegar for the sauce, not sure though. Just needed something that wasn't there.

But not so delicious that we can not postulate with no small amount of certainty intermediate stages of deliciousness, which we can support with evidence of proto-buns with less developed deliciousness.

Funnily enough, the all-year-round buns that a bakery/cafe near me (http://miettas.com.au/Australia/Victoria/Fitzroy/Babka.html) makes are actually nicer than their Easter-only hot cross buns.

Doesn't stop me gorging on their hot cross buns every Easter, mind.

You can get them all year round at some bakeries here, and they start selling them at the big supermarkets from the 1st of January. I haven't had any yet, because the bakeries here put fruit peel in theirs, and eating a delicious hot cross bun is lovely and all, but biting into a piece of fruit peel ruins it completely.

Tonight for dinner I made my own particular version of a puttanesca sauce or however you spell it to have with pasta. I've made it a few times, and it goes a little something like this:

First you stir a whole lot of chopped-up pancetta in some olive oil until it's a bit cooked, then you chuck in a whole lot of skinned and pulped tomatoes, then you put in a whole lot of finely chopped anchovies (if you chop them up they dissolve throughout the sauce for extra deliciousness) then you put in a whole lot of pitted olives then you cook it all til the tomatoes are reduced to a good saucy consistency then you put in a little bit of chilli (unless you're using hot pancetta) then you stop cooking the sauce and take it off the heat then just before serving you stir in some fresh basil then you serve it with some spaghetti and some grated cheese.

You have to cook the spaghetti, too.

I'm eating a Chicken Korma with Saffron rice and Naan bread (basically the yellowest dish in the world).

I cooked it by walking down to the Nabab Tandoori on St. James street, asking Rohit if he wouldn't mind arranging for one to be cooked for me, then transferring to him a quantity of promisory notes. Then I carried it back to my place of residence and transferred the various portions of the meal from foil containers to bowls and trays. Serve with a cup of coffee because I've actually just woken up, despite the fact it's ten o clock at night.

My roommate took one bite, said "yup, tastes like chanterelles!" then poured ketchup all over them, mixed them with his undercooked overspiced potatoes, and said "looks like another phenomenal breakfast."

There's actually a pseudo-scientific reason why ketchup is as popular as it is.  It's one of the few sauces that hits 4 of the 5 flavors (sweet, sour, salty and umami).  Also the reason why specialty ketchups haven't had much success in breaking Heinz's stranglehold on the market, the way, for instance, the mustard or salsa market is split up.

Good homemade ranch is leagues more acceptable than store-bought ranch, so I'd be willing to give it considerably more free roam over my food, but even then it is a stretch.

Tonight my dad grilled up pork ribs and oh my god they were perfect. I've never cleaned rib bones that effortlessly in my life, even with boiled ribs (which are a fucking abomination and my dad knows it because he grills all his meat like a Real Man).

Other night I made some epic tri-tip steak. I grilled double as much as usual with the intent of having leftovers for the fridge, but we ate the leftovers before they ever dreamed of hitting the fridge. My stepmom is incredibly hard to please when it comes to cooking (despite her terrible cooking) but she devoured those fuckers and so did my dad and I am pretty proud of myself because that has never happened in the history of tri-tip within this household.

I put tomato sauce (ketchup, not pasta sauce) on eggs, because while I don't mind eggs, too much of the egg-y flavour makes me gag and want to vomit. That is why  always have scrambled eggs or omelettes, because fried eggs with runny yolks are disgusting to me. Just the look of runny eggs makes me feel sick.

Tomato sauce on french toast is a fucking terrible thing to do.

I just baked banana bread!

I live on the 2nd floor of our house whilst the kitchen is in the basement, as far away as it is possible to be whilst still being in the house. I was enjoying the smells wafting up of fresh baking banana sweetness and thought I might go check on it, even though it wasn't due out for 7 minutes at least, probably more because I hadn't preheated properly. As I trundled down the stairs the sweet banana smell became slightly more sour and by the time I got to the ground floor I was jogging. On the stairs to the basement I was running because all I could smell was my delicious bread burning. I pelted to the oven and switched it off and pulled the door open in a quick movement. I grabbed a teatowel and yanked the pan out of the oven and banged it on the stovetop. The top of the banana bread was slighty dark. Will it be all right, I wondered, already planning the worst from what my wrinkled-up nose was telling me. Despite the instructions of the recipe to keep the bread in its tin until it cooled slightly, I grabbed both sides of my baking paper and threw the bread onto a cooling rack. Stripped the loaf of its modest coverings. The entire base of the bread was burned black. Still, I was going to save it. With teatowel (stripy green print) wrapped around one hand and a bread knife (green-handled) in the other, I whacked the sides and bottom from my loaf. Despite everything it was cooked perfectly, and wonderfully moist inside. I nibbled a bit of crumb. Still tasty!
Currently she is resting on her cooling rack, waiting for the time when I can prise a warm slice from her and slather it in butter. There may be slightly less of it than I intended, and no delicious chewy crust, but I consider it a success all the same.

Have you considered drinking a protein shake? You just mix the powder with water and it tastes kinda like a milkshake. If you're feeling adventurous you can toss it into a blender with some ice and fruit.

A big jug like this will cost maybe $15 at walmart and last you at least 1 month, and you can get most of your daily protein requirement from it.

That does sound pretty good, and the steak doesn't look very good, but I am glad that I eat meat. It's already really difficult to get as much protein as I should have without using any powders, it would be even tougher without meat.

I'm thinking this means either the dude is already using powder or has his reasons for not using them

That's actually what I mean to do, when I get around to buying some. Might actually be that exact kind, I've heard the ON whey double chocolate (what does double chocolate mean, anyway? How can it be more chocolate than chocolate?) is almost as good as chocolate milk, and it is 80% protein. I had been on the fence about it earlier in this thread, and then I read that as a rule of thumb you are supposed to get at least a gram of protein per pound of body weight if you are trying to gain muscle, so I'm definitely getting some of that. 48 grams of protein per 16 ounce glass plus 16 grams of protein from 16 ounces of whole milk means an easy 64 grams of protein. The ON stuff is more expensive, the cheapest by volume I've seen is $35 for the 5-pound jug, but if it doesn't taste like shit and it means I don't have to stress about food so much, it's worth it. Especially since my parents are paying for it.

Post by: Nodaisho on 07 Mar 2010, 15:38
I'm doing one by a guy called Alfalfa on the SA health forum, the hardgainer 2-day split. Works well because I'm also doing the couch to 5k three days a week, parkour once a week, and letting my aching tired body recover one day a week. Theoretically, it looks like this:

Quote
Day One:

Bench Press: 3x6-8
Incline BB/DB Press: 2x10-12
Military Press: 3x6-8
DB Skull Crushers or Close Grip Bench Press with 4-5” ROM (Not all the way down to your chest and your index fingers should be where the knurling starts): 3x10-12
Kneeling Cable Crunches or Other Heavy Ab Exercise: 3x10

Day Two:

Pull-Ups or Wide Lat Pull-Downs: 3xAMAP (As Many As Possible – Use Minimum ¾ Your BW for Pull-Downs
Bent Over Yates Row 3 x 8 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNxZmvOdl5Q
EZ-Bar Curl: 2 x 10
Squats: 2 x 10
Deadlifts: 1 x 10

In practice, I'm still trying to find a gym I like, so I'm using the home gym my father bought almost a decade ago. That means I am limited to just the bench press, cable crunches, pull-downs, and row. I'm visiting a gym that I've heard is pretty good this week, so with any luck I'll be able to get the full thing going. I'm already seeing real strength differences even with the limited equipment, though.

Before anyone jumps on me for being a gross bodybuilder again, I'm around 6'2" and weigh 160 pounds. I'm trying to stop being scrawny, trying to be in something resembling good shape, not be a muscleman.

You and I have opposite goals. I started at 6'0'' 245 lbs, and have worked my way down to 200ish, but it took me 2 years to do so. I do a 4-5 day a week work out with day 1 being quads/calves, day 2 chest, triceps, forearms, day 3 lower back, biceps, day 4 upper back, shoulders, day 5 (if i make it) abs. I do between 7 and 10 different exercises per day and try to hit 3 sets of 12 before moving up in weight.  Mix that in with 2-3 days of soccer a week and I am really tired all the time.

Since I'm not going for muscle gain, I don't really monitor my protein intake. I do still drink the shake out of superstition hoping that it'll help my muscles not be sore the next day.  Really my only goal is to not look embarrassing in a swimsuit/speedo when I go on my honeymoon in May. I have 2 months left to get everything nice and tight.

Now, back to the point of the thread. We're about to grill some pork chops AND make roasted lamb. We're eatin' good tonight

Linds, I want those cookies so much. I don't think we're going to be having any this year, what with the rest of my family trying to cut added sugar out of their diet. Normally we get several boxes and they are gone in no time. So delicious.

I'm about to make a sandwich. Pastrami, sharp cheddar, whole wheat bread, brown mustard and mayo. Finishing the last of my sweet tea from lunch as well.

There are awesome tasting non-meat proteins too! Seitan is made from wheat gluten and has crazy protein levels. You can also get TVP in bags by Bobs Red Mill (probably right next to the gluten) that has good protein and can be used like ground beef minus the heart-wrenching CAFO factor:)

Rye is a hearty grain for people who live in cold places. It is big beans in Russia, Canada, and Northern Germany for example, with Germans probably making the best use of it. If you have ever had pumpernickel, that is a rye bread, but I take serious issue with a lot of store-bought pumpernickel; they put way too much fuckin' caraway seeds in it to cover up the fact that it's just wonderbread-style junk dyed brown, and then it tastes like garbage and I am upset because pumpernickel should be delicious.

-rice pilaf (but it didn't turn out right! fuck you back of the safeway long grain rice bag your directions are for shit)

Rye bread is not very popular in Australia. It's too unusual to most people's tastes here. If you go to your supermarket, look for the darkest bread you can find, and that'll be rye bread. However most rye bread in Australia is shit: very few proper bakeries make it and the supermarket stuff is, well, supermarket stuff. I never appreciated rye bread until I travelled through Scandinavia: there they make really the nice stuff, and they put all sorts of marinated herring and cured salmon and other yummy things on top of it.

If you can find a bakery that is run by Germans, they will make good rye bread for you. Germans always complain about being unable to find good bread abroad.

I am drinking moka-pot espresso and eating brownies and barbecue chips. After I have eaten enough chips, my palette forgets it has eaten brownie and then I look at the plate of brownies and think 'my they look tasty' and then I eat some more.

caramel-filled fudge brownies that i made for my boss's birthday tomorrow. they are so rich and gooey even i can barely eat more than one or two before i feel sick. observe -

(http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/9940/brownies.jpg)

this one is such a mess because i couldn't resist cutting a piece while they were still warm from the oven, they actually hold together pretty well once they cool.

bonus story: i also licked the saucepan with all the melted caramel still in it forgetting that i had just taken it off the stovetop not even 60 seconds earlier. don't act so surprised. it burned my flesh but it was also delicious so y'know, you win some you lose some.

oreo cupcakes for my sister's birthday!
recipe from how to eat a cupcake (http://www.howtoeatacupcake.net/2008/05/cookies-and-cream-cupcakes-from-scratch.html).

(http://i39.tinypic.com/oi5heg.jpg)

it's full of cookie pieces. they came out so sweet and yummy, just like eating a big fluffy oreo. i'm definitely going to write this one down for the future.

protip: do NOT make the amount of icing the recipe stipulates. you will only need like, half that, tops. i had so much leftover icing it was stupid. too much even for me to eat.
