When do you go back again?
fair siren
Today I got up at 0830; and I’m going back to work Tuesday night at 2330
So by then I have to entirely flip my schedule
zealous crown
Ohgod.. I have no idea how you do it. I’m a nocturnal person by nature. I always studied at night, but the thought of working throughout the night.. eeeesh
So that 12h drive again?
fair siren
Oh nonono not going back to Cali
I’ll be home I just took time off when I got back
And I’ll be on graveyard shift here too

Oh phew. Hehe, at least you will have food in your fridge.

Gah. Do try to get enough sleep when your shift is up tho. Try not to get.. too distracted, heh.

I’ve actually thought of biking after work cuz it’ll be 8-9am
Then I can shower and sleep good

Knowing me I’ll push myself for more

Well, hopefully your more rational side which is not clouded will intervene.

Hehe, yes, yes, you are very badass, but lets give your body some time to catch up with that strong mind.

My reason is less like being fit and more being able to snowboard longer and hike more difficult places

Biking is one of the best ways to get in shape for those, so it’ll be a great start.

@dusky solstice what is a good and accessible oil to use instead of canola
dusky solstice
@tired stump pure/light (not extra virgin) Olive oil, peanut oil, veggie oil
zealous crown
I use coconut. :x
dusky solstice
I avoid coconut oil, not hearth healthy and I already don't take care of myself
Avocodo oil is amazing, SUPER high smoke point
zealous crown
You have avocado oil?!
tired stump
Evoo is less neutral I guess
zealous crown
I have never even seen it.
dusky solstice
@tired stump The issue with EVOO is it has a really low smoke point, but normal olive oil has a really high smokepoint
only "standard" oil higher is Avocado oil
but if you trying to replace Canola, Vegetable oil is your closest
and if you are making a sauce that uses oil (like say bulk amounts of Buffalo Sauce), use veggie instead of Canola because Canola can affect smell sometimes

@zealous crown @serene delta heart is tenderloin
Super lean, after you trim it
2$/lb as opposed to 15+ though
You can get even lazy trimming a 70% yield
Though mine went bad so I'm doing a sorta curry kinda chicken thing tonight instead

@molten crypt done right, it great. Spread some apple butter on there, some mulled wine, and just be happy
zealous crown
@𝓦𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓜𝓸𝓸𝓷🎄𝓚𝓷𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽#8888 it was really moist, thanks. I let it sit for over half a day before having a taste. I’ll probably make it again soon.
@dusky solstice I have only had cow’s heart and chicken’s. Both were on the.. quirkier side when it comes to texture.
dusky solstice
@zealous crown okay so it is like octopus, is needs to be fast or slow, no in-between. Also though, needs to be trimmed completely clean
If you go over mid rare, texture hits shit
Long cook it though and it great
zealous crown
Hmm that is quite interesting. I have only had it in a curry. And we sometimes overcook the shit out of them.
We usually would have them around Eid. After the sacrifice. Pretty much every part of the cattle is up for a dish. Other than hooves and skin.
But yeah, will definitely get some and try to trim it as much as possible.
molten crypt
@zealous crown hehe, I don't think I could wait that long for anything pumpkin.

Apologies that I couldnt be properly pinged before. I was harassing Tacos and forgot to rejoin cause I was busy playing Minecraft. 
zealous crown
No worries! Hehe, thought I wasn’t doing it properly. But then realised you probably aren’t around.
I didn’t want to wait either because it smelled divine, but the batter was heavy so I distracted myself with cleaning, heh. I might add a dash of nutmeg next time. Ty again!
dusky solstice
If you want @zealous crown I have some before/after pictures of one of the last times I trimmed up (albeit poorely for my skillset) a heart

Yesyes! Please and thank you!
I have never trimmed organ fat before.
I am actually heading home now, so might pick some up if they have some.

What's the texture like? Of beef heart?
tired stump
similar to tenderloin by the look of it and DC's description

@vale kelp super lean/tender (if you don't overcook). It is basically a beefier verseion of tenderloin yeah
tired stump
you should probably head to donna's then 😄

You know what was one of the leading causes of heart disease the last decade in the US was? The Neo-Paleo diet. People cut so much salt out of their diet they were giving themselves heart damage

A diet of cheese burger pizza can't be any better though. Just cuz there are other aspects of the ignorance of healthy eating in the US, this particular aspect should not be ignored.

chicken is bad
vale kelp
Chicken in the US is sadly highly processed with hormones too. 
dusky solstice
not all of it, that's decreasing rapidly, more so now since COVID because of tgeh supply line effectsx
the long term mutations that dulled the flavor are there
but anywhere in the world you go, chicken fat is actually the unhealthiest of the fats
Basically chicken fat is loaded with oleic fatty acids where your red meat and fishes are loaded with linoleic fatty acids
placid terrace
people are made of red meat, just fyi
dusky solstice
love the flavor of chicken fat though, and use it when I make eggs
but really it don't matter what you eat unless you have personal health issues. If you eat a variety of foods in moderation, you'll be healthy
There are some exceptions for various medical reasons (like why Ican't survive off Vegan diet, or some people with legit sodium issues)

The owners of this restaurant own a Greek restaurant. And they do fusion with Greek cuisine for this other more health oriented restaurant. Focused on a healthy gut. But it's amazingly delicious!!! 🤤

Guess who's about to eat cornbread?
🤭 This is the unhealthiest I'll have eaten in months
placid terrace
I wish I could get my sweet potat chips looking like those
haven't cracked the secret yet
zealous crown
Omg I need to stop zooming in
That pulled meat looks.. wipes chin
The coating, perhaps?
What do you not like about it?
zealous crown
:x
zealous crown
Well, oil temperature is very important. And coating of course.
Oh you’ve googled. :p
placid terrace
I have 😛
zealous crown
So obviously you dry them in a cloth or napkin before coating?
zealous crown
You like your cornflour..
Keep trying. I am sure they will meet your super high standards some day.
placid terrace
one day
or I'll just get someone to cook 'em for me at a restaurant when i need a fix
😛
zealous crown
Just buy a damned restaurant
placid terrace
i'd say that's a bad investment RN
zealous crown
Argh, yes, poor hospitality

mmm bbq plate

It is rather asinine tbh. A friend of mine manages a PCP Black Horse and he is at his wits end. Govt asked him to kick everyone out by 10pm, but then people just all gather outside for taxis and shits n giggles.
I think Mitchells and Butlers had to throw away 1.2b worth of food last month.
Thought you were having stew, Smooshie.
placid terrace
It's very poorly thought out
mostly because the government seems to not want to piss off their friends
zealous crown
That’s expected. But it all seems very whimsical.
I mean meetings for group projects in univ were more productive than this.
The owners of M&B should be one of their mates as well. So it doesn’t make sense at all.
placid terrace
I imagine any group projects you had a say in were exceptionally well planned :x
zealous crown
Haha, you tease, but I was actually very mellow.
Just ended up doing most of the work instead.
placid terrace
toasting as we speak
watching it carefully so I don't end up with an artisinal bagel
placid terrace
wat
zealous crown
What’s the time now?
zealous crown
licks the bagels then drops them on your plate enjoy
placid terrace
there has been a small change of plan though
the nutella winked at me when I opened the cupboard
zealous crown
Hahah
I love nutella with peanutbutter
They are always next to each other in my cupboard

Ah, that’s plenty of time to slowcook.

Is that.. sweet potato chips?
@zealous crown That was! Well, sweet potato fries. Too greasy for my taste. So you and I will prob have better ones another time lol
zealous crown
Red, pshaw! I’ll take yours, and Erik’s, and whoever else is having them! If it’s not obvious, I LOVE sweet potuhoooooes
Smoosh, so a pressure cooker stew >.<
tired stump
yar
it's giving me stew feels
almost up to pressure
she's locked and loaded bois, 30 minutes to stew heaven
(i hope)

That looks so nom!

It was yum ngl
Some of the potatoes and carrots were multi color so they blended in
Will use traditional next time

Looks super nourishing.

That looks good
I'd way over salt it tho, I just really like salty food I don't even know why
tired stump
i over salt my food
after [insert number greater than 10] years, i discovered that the reason is because i have low blood pressure
vale kelp
No way! So interesting!
tired stump
i always wanted to be interesting
zealous crown
And pretty. So pretty.

I thought it looked so puhrty with the colorful veggies

Having cereal myself 😔
placid terrace
which cereal
zealous crown
Red, it does! Looks full of life. Hope you enjoyed it!
zealous crown
Like you don’t for everything else heh
placid terrace
😄
zealous crown
Crunchy nut 😉
zealous crown
Thanks. Aim to pls.
zealous crown
Urgh, who has cereal w/ water!
placid terrace
some people!
zealous crown
Milk. Whole milk.
zealous crown
Sucks I can’t downvote that
placid terrace
ikr
did you look at the video
I mean if i was forced to eat one cereal with water
it would not be cheerios
also
zealous crown
Wth. I wouldn’t divorce her, but maybe not let her make major financial decisions.
placid terrace
😄
I think
If they open cereal on its side that is likely not to be their only offense
Edit: to answer a question asked below, she doesn’t pour out the cereal from the side. Rather, she grabs it by the handful and puts it in her bowl.

Whaaaaaaat

Clearly this guy hasn't married a woman, he's found some poorly domesticated wolf person
zealous crown
Solid edit.
zealous crown
I am still amazing how someone can make smthing so straight forward this convoluted
placid terrace
I'm struggling with the actual mechanics of it
tearing a thick plastic bag like the cereal comes in is not easy
so does she cut it?
so many unanswered questions
I open my cereal bags like a human, just fyi
zealous crown
Omg do you think she bites off a piece then rips it open?
placid terrace
maybe!
that'd make sense actually
teeth'd make light work of the bag
I think you've solved it
zealous crown
I open mine like a bonobo and still manage to open it better than her.
placid terrace
bonobo XD
funny, i imagined you being a little more graceful in my head
Right, I better go sign off and unload the car
You need saving @zealous crown or are you good?
zealous crown
Bonobos can be very elegant tyvm.
zealous crown
Ty, I am good. You can go ahead and unload. Was just hoovering etc.

I'm fascinated by the fact that Donna and I make the perfect eggplant.
zealous crown
Like you wouldn’t put them back on. :p

🍆

Exactly!!!
zealous crown
Okay, gonna take a quick shower. Then maybe drink a little..
placid terrace
Like you wouldn’t put them back on. :p
I'm not gonna lie, there would be a sliding scale cause I'm quite comfy.
Stubbed toe, you're on your own

That works.
