I smoked some cheap flat iron steaks today to use for steak salad. Smoking is a totally underrated method for cooking steak, especially with all the hemen saying "reverse seer this motherfucker."

Dear LJ, In a lot of ways, this is a difficult post to make, but why the hell not. As of this morning, for the first time in approximately 10 years, I no longer fit the medical criteria for obesity. Since Jan of 2014 I've been on a path to being healthy. While I still have a ways to go, I'm 80% to my goal, and have crossed the threshold from 'obese' to simply 'overweight'. I still need to drop 20 or so more pounds to be at the lightest adult weight I've seen, but this time I'm not doing any fad nonsense. Eat right, exercise a ton. No big secret. </livejournal>

I'd argue most of us regular posters use our diet as (part of) our identity, just in a less evangelical fashion than, say, vegans. Food choices are intimately tied to cultural, geographic, social, economic, and sometimes political identity like few other things in human experience.

This reminds me of a good joke. I apologise if you've heard it before... What's the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea? I've never paid fifty quid to make a garbanzo bean in my mouth.

We are in Italy and eating our summer holiday staple every day. Get good cooked chickpeas (the best seem to be bottled, not tinned). If you're not lazy buy and cook them yourself. Mash with fork or masher. (The texture should be different to phummus - still a bit coarse and uneven). Add good EVOO, salty pep, lemon juice, and garlic puréed with the flat of the knife. Eat. It's quite different from humous; texture and lack of tahini. With good chickpeas it's absolutely delicious.

I did that with a Mac from work that needed a new hard drive. I asked, nobody cared, I risked the cash to see if it was the HDD and it was. The great part about travelling is local food, especially cheese. The little local shop has a small selection with a fantastic goats' cheese (similar in style to pecorino), and at the market on Wednesday we got a pecorino aged in hay which is just beautiful; full-flavoured without being harsh or pungent, creamy, slightly sheepy, hint of freshness, but lots of taste to it. Luckily we bought a big hunk. The local shop also sells a very drinkable local white wine, fruity and easy, for a whopping €4.50 a bottle. My son loves Italy: pasta, pizza, cheese, ice cream. therattle fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jun 13, 2015 |

In one of my former jobs at an electrical outlet store, I scored myself a $400 grill almost the same way. Came back as a return because one of the plastic LED covers had broken during shipping, the customer never even turned it on. We tested it and it worked fine. Sealed the hole over the LED and the boss let me take it home since we would have had to destroy it anyway.

GBS X E/N: My fiancee is currently giving me the silent treatment because I told her not to eat dessert before dinner. Is there a scientific reason why your parents always told you to eat dinner first (other than "be more full so you eat less dessert") or am I just a grumpy grandpa?
