Food/energy question I take late evening courses once a week. These are a two hour drive away from home and end at 9:30 in the evening. After a work day too. So I stop at a gas station because I am exhausted and afraid to fall asleep at the wheel. What do I eat to last two hours? Most energy drinks are no good because they don't kick in fast enough. And when I get home I go straight to bed and want to be able to fall asleep. A friend advised some orange juice and a bar of chocolate.

If you are getting so tired that you're pulling over, I would advise against things that are sugary or really heavy. The sugar will perk you up for a little bit, but then you'll crash hard and start nodding. Heavy greasy things like gas station hot dogs will give you Thanksgiving bloat. If at all possible, I would shift your lunchtime later in the day so that you're not starving by the time class is out. I'd try to make an effort to bring snacky vegetables and nuts, and only enough so that you feel "not hungry" rather than "full", and eat them as soon as you get out of class. I'd stick to water to drink, with maybe something caffeinated around 4 so that when you get home you can go right to bed.

I do long drives for work often. Last year I was driving to and from Missouri every two weeks for three months, eight hours each way (thank god that's over.) The way to do it is snacking during the drive, not eating something at the beginning. It helps keep you awake much better, if you get creative can be reasonably healthy for you (especially if you're making your own food), and over two hours you can eat enough to last you to breakfast. I usually bring nuts, an apple, maybe one of those yogurt-based breakfast smoothies, and a full waterbottle (hydration is very important to not be miserable, especially since nuts are salted and dehydrate you.) But really, anything you like enough to snack on continuously for two hours works. The other thing is to stay as active as possible. I did loud music for a while, and that really didn't help much, you still get to a point where it doesn't matter and you just fall asleep. Singing along really helps, or find an audio book that you're really interested in, or if there's somebody in a different time zone you can do a phone call with for a while. Anything to stay alert and engaged. Once you're in the stage where you have to fight to stay awake you're done, the goal is to stay out of that zone. If you do all that and are still nodding off, pull over and take a nap. Better to get home late than crash.

This is all good advice. I'll give a stack of bananas a try for the whole drive. As something to snack on.

Bananas are actually not the best fruit to snack on to stay awake, they can increase your levels of tryptophan, making you drowsy. Berries, nuts or seeds, maybe a little beef jerky would be better.

Fenris13 posted:Bananas are actually not the best fruit to snack on to stay awake, they can increase your levels of tryptophan, making you drowsy. Berries, nuts or seeds, maybe a little beef jerky would be better. Does the science check out for this? livestrong.com posted:Bananas contain high amounts of a number of important nutrients. One medium banana contains 105 calories, 0.39 grams of fat and 0.011 gram of tryptophan, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. OK, so 10 bananas... http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/the-truth-about-tryptophan posted:Somer says that proteins like turkey, chicken, and fish, which are high in tryptophan, require assistance from foods high in carbohydrates to affect serotonin levels. http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/turkey.asp posted:
So bananas have 1/30 the tryptophan as turkey and turkey as sleep aid has generally been debunked. Still, turkey's other protein might be why it doesn't make you sleepy, so perhaps bananas with a lower dose but with carbs instead of protein might actually make you sleepy. Not a lot of hard evidence to avoid bananas, imo. Especially because your brain runs on blood sugar and bananas are a low glycemic snack, meaning you will get a nice steady flow of sugar and not a sugar high followed by a crash. If you're really worried about tryptophan, add some peanut butter so the proteins slow the tryptophan from entering the brain. Are there nutritionists on SA? I'm just a curious dude googling stuff.

 Baked watermelon poke bowl... baking it for 2 hours at 350* gives it a similar texture to raw tuna, surprisingly.

THE MACHO MAN posted:yeah same, but definitely curious! Rough, but about what I did: 1 lb. watermelon, rind removed and cut into ~1.5" thick slabs (eyeball it here, i can't remember how much mine weighed -- it was a 1/4 chunk) 1 tbsp rice vinegar (to cut the sweetness, mostly) 2 tsp soy sauce (to add some saltiness) Oil to lightly coat 1/2 of a large vidalia onion, very thinly sliced 1 tablespoon grated ginger 3 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tsp sugar (more to taste but keep in mind watermelon has sweetness already) 1 tablespoon sesame oil 2 scallions, thinly sliced on a bias 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds lime juice to taste (i used about 1/2 a lime) Preheat oven to 350. Toss watermelon with vinegar and soy and bake for 2 hours. flipping halfway through until top starts to brown and it becomes tender. Let cool a bit, cut into chunks and mix with remaining ingredients... Let sit for a little while and throw on rice... topped mine with plenty of furikake and togarashi, which I think are very important here considering it gives it a bit of fishy flavor which it lacks without any... fish. Here's how the watermelon looks right after baking:  I think avocado would be a great addition to this but I didn't have any at the time. emotive fucked around with this message at 05:40 on May 9, 2017 |

Cross-posting from the Pizza making thread. Incoming photo dump! Butterflied a leg of lamb, filled with finely chopped lemon zest, rosemary, salt and pepper. Trussed it back up and popped it into the sous vide at 130 for a few hours.  Took it out, skewered it and seared it over the fire to get it browned.  Ended up with a super smokey hit, which was awesome. By itself one of the best things that I have ever made.  Chilled and then sliced thin.  Ended up on a pizza with : Havarti, green olives, frisee dressed with a lemon and cured egg yolk vinaigrette, and sliced parm. Was loving awesome. Smokey, herbacious, rich, bright from the lemon, salty from the olives, nutty from the parm. Highly recommend.   Just a standard but delicious pizza with Calabrese, tomato, dry mozz and fermented chili oil.   Experimental Bananas Foster pizza. Made the sauce by itself, let it cool, used it to sauce the pie, brushed on the bananas then into the oven. Was good, but too soupy. Will use less sauce next time, and instead of just melted ice cream, will make a thicker creme anglaise. Will also precook the bananas a little and then fire in a hotter oven. I cooked it at around 650 so the bananas could cook through, but by that time, the crust had gotten too chewy. It has promise, but needs work.

Thanks dude! Yeah, was a boneless chuck roast (also called a cross rib roast sometimes), about 2lbs. Did it at 325*F in the oven (in an open cast-iron pot, preheated) until internal temp read at 115*F, then pulled, covered in tinfoil, and let rest and rise to 130*F (oven time was about 30 minutes I think, but rely on your thermometer, resting was about 15 minutes). Meat was first brushed with balsamic vinegar and then brushed with a paste made from salt, pepper corns, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary - ground and mixed with a couple tablespoons of olive oil.

 pork loin, spiced with salt, pepper, and cayenne and roasted in a skillet sauce was apple juice, brandy, butter, demarara, a single grannysmith apple roughly chopped, shredded ginger that had been infused with golden brown sugar (used the ginger previously to make a simple syrup for ginger beer), a cinnamon stick, freshly grated nutmeg, and allspice beets tossed with olive oil and thyme, then baked until tender. I'll probably toss the beets with some balsamic next time as I wanted them to be a little less plain.

My wife and I love to cook (not that we're any good at it) but we don't feel the need to share very often. The lady of the house had the idea to "eat like a millionaire" so she came up with a cheese/meat/hors d'oeuvres plate thing.  photo host sites Items on the plate that were bought from the grocery store:
Things we made at home:
Any herbs on plate or in recipes were from our garden. Visible is rosemary and peppermint. Accompanied with booze of choice.
