Avocado is best so long as you can afford it, but in many cases it's too expensive for my budget unless it's on sale at Sprouts. In terms of price and storage canola is likely going to beat out the other options for neutral oil.

 

Future in-laws are here so it's baba ghanoush, tabouli, and lamb tonight.

am curious how gd stores sunflower, or if he goes through fast enough such that storing is a non factor.  have used in past and lasts us three or four months 'fore we begin to notice early onset rancid.

 

HA! Good Fun!

A little goes a long way. I usually buy it in 10 oz and that lasts a few weeks.

I'm thinking about changing my diet. I go pretty heavy on carbs at this point, and I'm thinking I'd like to reverse that. Nothing too crazy, but I think a medium carb diet and more protein will help me with my endurance training and alleviate some digestive issues I've had with training and racing.

Of course, it would help if I could resist some of these sugary snacks I'm always craving.

I have a problem with eating regularly as I often forget to eat because I get caught up in whatever I'm doing.

I made my wife a burrata salad with arugula, roasted cherry tomatoes, strawberries, crushed hazelnuts, and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. I made myself a grilled cheese sandwich and then spent the remainder of the evening with a stomach ache.

In college I developed the habit of entering long periods of deep calories deficits and odd eating schedules. It's sort of like intermittent intermittent fasting.

Tonight we went to a local restaurant where your table has a circular hole in the middle and they place a bbq. The food comes raw and you sit there and grill it. Two were some cut of beef, I think one was beef tongue (which was really good) and one was a cut of meat called "mino", which it turns out is beef stomach.

I have eaten at  similar restaurants like that where you grill your own food, its an amazing and very interactive way of eating 

Also well done for eating exotic food, most of my friends and family wont touch the off cuts like you tried. I love them because they have there own unique taste and sometimes texture. Anthony Bourdain convinced me about the value of eating unusual food.  Anybody can eat or cook a steak, and there is nothing wrong with steak as I love it,  but most people dont eat off cuts and will always miss out on that gastronomic experience 🥩

Tonight Im making myself a form of bolognaise mince, its simple really. But its also very economical as I will have pasta for dinner but the left over mince I can either freeze and use it later or use it for sandwiches or other meals over the next 2-3 days. One has to be prudent with meals when you single... " waste not and want not "  and all that  🥡

  • Fry onions with garlic for 3-5 minutes until translucent
  • Add mushrooms
  • Add Mince and brown mince and make sure is par-cooked 
  • Add pasta sauce and reduce heat so mince can slowly, say 40 minutes
  • Add mince to pasta once cooked

Wife wants chicken marbella added to the regular meal rotation which is more of an idea than an actual rotation. Probably would not have considered making it or would have substituted prunes out if it wasn't for Gromnir's pot roast recipe.  

Ordered some black garlic on Amazon because it's too stinky to make and Safeway stopped carrying it. Supposedly some specialty markets around town might have some but I've no interest in driving out to Aurora.

I recently tried a whole, fried shrimp. Have you ever seen a soft shell crab that's battered and fried and eaten whole? Same thing. This was a complete shrimp that was lightly battered and fried (head, body, tail, exoskeleton, organs). I wasn't too jazzed about eating it but I didn't want to be a lil biatch in front of my hosts either, so down the hatch it went. Meh, tastes like a crunchier shrimp.

Why are boiled peanuts so incredibly delicious? They're just peanuts that are boiled (potentially with cajun spices) and they are several orders of magnitude more delicious than either raw or roasted peanuts.

With a public holiday today this was a weekend full of indulgence. Or, in other words, unhealthy food for the win:

Well and some take-out ribs from out local Italian place. Might sound weird, but they make them like pizza by throwing the ribs into the oven and burn them to a cinder. Well, kind of. 300+ degrees for a few minutes make them blackend on the outside and super juicy inside. Then they get a bit of sauce on top (a hot one in this case). Compared to the usual way of doing them with extended low temperature they stay a good deal chewier, and obviously there's no smoky flavor but it's full of pure Maillard bliss. Honestly, biting into these is as close to a tastegasm as you can come. :p

Made some chicken and mushroom ramen for lunch with bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, black garlic, and green onion. Pretty much no broth and topped with parmesan cheese.

Made some chicken in milk for dinner and a salad. Yum.

Went to a 1* Michelin restaurant named Renaa, and was not dissapointed. Warm service from beginning to end, including a guided tour of the hotel they recently moved in to. The dishes (of which there were around 20), were mostly based on Norwegian sea food. The wine pairings were sublime, and we even got some extra wines since the sommelier noticed that we were wine buffs. I feel like a lot of Michelin restaurants in Europe don't really deserve their star(s), but in this case more of them would be warranted.
