What have you been EATING lately?

That jackfruit nonsense tastes like the dick of a day old dog. It's horrendous.

WAIT! You ate a puppy penis?

let's be honest here, who hasn't

Yesterday a senior co-worker got me to a fried duck joint. He always pay for me (except when I got promoted). Sorry for the blurry pic.



This is half of juvenile duck with green sambal (chili), tahu (somekind of tofu), and tempe (made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form). All fried. The rice (with fried onion on top) is a traditional food, steamed rice cooked in coconut milk. Garnished with tiny amount lemon basil and cucumber. If you see carefully, all were laid on top of banana leaf.

We have Tempeh...it's good. Take the duck off that banana leaf and it's what I want for dinner tonight!

But having macaroni and cheese. :-/

Please don't eat banana leaf.

Eat rhubarb leaf

Jícama is crunchy like celery or an apple with only 38 cal per 100 g. It's a good source of dietary fiber. It is composed of 86–90% water; Its sweet flavor comes from the oligofructose inulin (also called fructo-oligosaccharide) which is a prebiotic. Jícama is very low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. It is also a good source of vitamin C.

Trader Joe's sell per sliced Jicama or you can buy the Jicama and slice it yourself. My 2 favorite ways to eat Jicama are with Trader Joe's Chili lime seasoning or chili powder and lime juice or as a salad with orange pieces and chili and lime seasoning.

Can you cook jicama or do you eat it raw?

This means that there's more butter on everything, we're not afraid of bacon or the dark meat of poultry, and that we put heavy cream in our coffee instead of milk or some fake shit in it. We had switched to whole milk even before this, because I'm pretty damn sure that skim milk is a dairy industry conspiracy so they can siphon off the fat to also make butter. The 1970s-1980s war on fat in diets in America never had a strong causal relationship between heart disease or any of the stuff we've been told for decades. We still use a bunch of broccoli and other vegetables, but any dish that would formerly have rice, potatoes, carrots, or noodles just doesn't. Or she'll put them aside and just the kid and I will eat it.

The kid and I still intersperse some cereal and a bit more fruit in there. For awhile I've been making smoothies in the morning for the two of us. Our blender can't chop ice at all, so I make sure to use at least one banana every time to give it some thickness. Then it's whole milk and berry-of-choice, with a small or half orange tossed in for tanginess. Breakfast is almost always meat and eggs. The school breakfasts are insane! 100g of carbs including Chocolate Skim Milk!

In general I'm not a big fan of foods that masquerade as other foods. I like noodles, and I'll eat some chopped up zucchini, but zoodles or cauliflower rice, or that BBQ jackfruit abomination? Blech!

I'm trying to eat clean and also do Keto, but I eat small amounts of carbs periodically. No wheat, beans, sugar and not too much dairy.

Our Blendtec blender was totally worth the $350. It gets used like three times a day. I've made almond butter with it. You could blend an entire human corpse in that thing.

My favorite keto book, although it needs an update, is www.perfecthealthdiet.com although there is a ton of good stuff out there now.

Yes²

I use Jicama in stir fry all the time - My wife makes "chips" out of baked jicama and tops them guacamole and shrimp.

My favorite recipe is Jicama slaw - Julienne the Jicama , some red onions, and cilantro - I make my slaw sauce for it with lime juice, coconut oil, salt and pepper, and sugar. Chill it and sprinkle it with chili powder before serving.

Yeah. Seems like a solid blender would be a better investment than a microwave for us.

I'll pass that website along to her. We got a book from the library that she later bought, and she looks up recipes all the time on Pinterest. But more info is good to have.

After I suggested it last summer, she has been planning all of our dinners, usually 2 weeks in advance. That way we don't buy too much stuff at the grocery store, and have very few snack foods hanging around... aside from fruit and baby carrots and cheese and stuff like that. We almost never cook hot dogs or other 'kid' foods and just have the 6 y.o. eat whatever we put out. It kinda sucks when we go to grandma's and she'll cave and make pizza and hotdogs for the cousins; he'll join in then.

An interesting side jaunt, since we're being all foodie - A blog feature that made me LMAO - HEY STEVE DON'T EAT IT He eats foreign delicacies, breast milk, and some products meant for animals.

My favorite was from his sampling of Beggin' Strips : "In closing, the only silver lining to this dark dark cloud is I have figured out why so many dogs lick their own assholes. They are trying to kill the taste of Beggin' Strips. (By the way, it doesn't work.)"

That's a great blog! Fucking hysterical. I am oddly in the mood for breast milk Yoohoo now.

LOL the writing is fantastic:

The list of ingredients is long and horrifying, coming right out of the gate with "MECHANICALLY SEPARATED CHICKEN." Oddly enough, I'm about to be separated from my lunch, and I haven't even opened the can yet.

The can shows a serving suggestion of the Potted Meat being served on squares of toast. I would also suggest squares of toilet paper

lol

I knew I was in trouble as soon as I opened the jar, and heard no reassuring vacuum seal.

rofl:

While I cannot endorse the eating of Pickled Pork Rinds, I do endorse playing with it like a puzzle. I did have some fun trying to put the pig back together,

Beggin' Strips slogan is "Dogs don't know it's not bacon!" Newsflash: Dogs are retarded. Mine used to eat his own vomit, and wag his tail while he did it.

i love how he writes a preamble BEFORE tasting it, as he's gearing up the courage. And then shows a picture of what's he's about to eat and then posts what happened after. This made my eyes water, I laughed so much:

I'm back. And I'm sad to report that I did not run around the house yelling "Bacon!" I did, however, run around the house yelling "Call 911!"
