om nom nom posted:Kim chi is good I think the first time I had it was on a hot dog in my youth so idk try it on a dog or burg you'll probably like it. Or just eat it with 2 or 3 meals a day you'll acquire a taste with it cause your body will know it is giving you nutrition and is not, in fact, bad Unforunately this is not an option, as my diet is centered around creating the right sort of microbial environment in your guts or something like that. I've got a strict "schedule" and it includes kimchi but once a week. I'll keep it in mind though! |

Also I made some tacos today. No pics unfortunately, I can't really be taking pictures of all the steps at work and remain productive Meat: tri tip smoked in hickory for 3 hours. Braised in stock and red wine with oregano garlic shallots dried puya peppers black pepper cumin orange zest and lime zest. Strained, pulled apart meat, reduced braising liquid by half, recombind, reduced by another quarter or so in a sauce pot,salted, then held warm for service. Never salt before reducing heavily. Condiments- Mango salsa: 6 mangos brunoise, 4 Roma tomatos concasse brunoise, 3 jalapenos brunoise, 1 roasted red pepper brunoise, some minced shallot, lime zest, lemon juice, toasted coriander, salt and white pepper. Crispy cabbage: cabbage quartered and shaved super thin on a slicer (a mandolin works but can be frustrating if the cabbage is larger than the mandolin is wide), blanched, shocked, wrung out with a kitchen towel, and fried in clarified butter. If you do this make sure your cabbage is wrung as thoroughly as possible. Preheat your butter and put in small amounts at a time, jostle the cabbage apart with tongs or something ( I use a meat fork). Every once in a while stir the cabbage on the outside into the middle(the outside is hotter and will cook faster). It will take 5-10 minutes or so to get crispy but after that about 12 seconds to burn. But if you get it out of the pan and onto a plate with a paper towel in that window after its crispy and before it browns you wind up with this gorgeous nest of crunchy buttery goodness that's kind of popcorny in flavor and texture. If I ever do this at home or have a slow day at work I'll take pics of this process cause this is kind of a tough one to do "right" And then topped with your traditional street taco minced white onion and cilantro. |

How strict is this diet, is there any room for creativity or do you have specific meals planned for every day? It might be fun to come up with some meals within a set of rigid guidelines. At least it would be good practice

who in your household picked this diet as the right one for you all? I think diet choice is an interesting topic for the food thread I guess. I feel like a lot of times people limit themselves in diet thinking that tasty food can't possibly be healthy, but there's lots of tasty things that don't destroy diets (and portion control is more important than any diet for weight loss) |

If you really want to lose weight, caloric intake is 9000x more important than anything else, as long as you don't eat such a limited palette that you develop a chronic nutrient deficiency. There are online calculators that will ballpark safe daily intake values for your current mass that yield a slimming trend, etc Like from 200 lbs to 180 you could eat 2.6k cal/day* [made up value], and 180 to 150 2.3k or w.e |

Building muscle tone also helps a lot by increasing your basal metabolism- even something as simple as doing as many sit ups for 1 minute then push ups for 1 minute every day will yield huge results compared to complete sedentaryness |

You'll also get this cool break through moment after a month or two where instead of doing like 3 push ups you can do 70 and you're like holy crap muscle growth is like magic |

Anyway if I was [in a situation where I did not have full control over my diet], and I was dubious of its efficacy, I would secretly track and maintain my own personal intake in a real diet seperately, on top of whatever they were expecting |

So what's an example of the diet? What did you eat Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday this week? And what's Sat / Sun? Is there a cheat day? Which day's the kimchi day? Three meals I'm assuming? |

landy. posted:what flavor do zests add to a dish? ive used them for sodas, but i don't really know what they did. It tastes like the citrus without acidity or liquid. I wanted the salsa to taste of lime so I used a good amount of lime zest and just enough lemon juice to get a little tingle on your tongue, while avoiding turning the salsa soupy and the bitterness of lime juice. |

Zests are amazing. You get a lot of the essential oils of the fruit from zesting the rind. Also essential in cocktails often |

Oh okay. Sorry I must have missed something a while back. Anyway, I guess onwards with the other stuff. I ordered a TS8000 Bernzomatic propane torch, under Home Depot's 'welding' section oddly, though its barely hot enough to silver braze. Anyway, it's the torch recommended by Searzall for their hand-held broiler @ 2600 degrees or so. Going to try out searing with that + very hot cast iron for a quicker and better sear for sous vide stuff. |
