I need some ideas for breakfast I can pre-prep, I've been eating the same thing for a month now before work, after lifting and it's starting to get a little tedious. My gym is right by my work and I only have access to a kettle and microwave.

I started putting a little bit of whatever protein (grilled chicken, pieces of gilbert's chicken sausages) into a muffin pan and then cracking an egg over the top with a very small sprinkling of cheese, salt and pepper. Oven at 350 for about 5-7 mins based on your preferences and then heat for 30-45 seconds in the microwave the next morning. It's solid and delicious.

I find the gilbert's sausages and wrapping it in plastic wrap keeps it from drying out.

I've been making egg white omelettes and nuking them in the morning.

I am also a loving animal who likes the taste of dried out eggs due to growing up eating those mcdonalds scrambled eggs.

Might give this a whirl along with a 1/3rd cup of brown rice and some avacado on top to hit my macros. Cheers.

Yeah those egg cups are legit. You can do bacon around the edge of the muffin cup if you're feeling saucy

If you do this definitely precook the bacon a little bit and then drain some of the excess fat otherwise the bacon is a little soggy which I personally don't enjoy.

Sounds like you have time for oatmeal.

I started having oatmeal in the AMs with vanilla protein powder and flax seed and it is actually pretty good. Especially if I remember to throw in some raspberries.

I usually dedicate Sunday to making a bunch of oatmeal to last me the week. 2 cups of steel cut oats and 1 cup of quinoa, cook oats and quinoa for a bit, add 4 cups of water, bring to a boil, then simmer for half an hour. Add whatever the hell you want to it afterward to make it tasty (Brown sugar, honey, yogurt, etc).

I don't have the discipline to do any of that so it's usually peanut butter (or cashew butter if I made some) on a bagel with a side of fruit and a glass of whole milk.

I am gonna try those though. Never thought a warm breakfast could be that easy and quick.

I tried it with chocolate and it was so strange I couldn't eat it more than 1-2 times.

But as a kid I can see why it would be good because, well its chocolate.

The biggest flaw in the low-bid system is that unless every aspect of the job is spelled out explicitly (this is called Scope of Work), every single minute thing that comes up that isn't in that scope of work ends up buying the contractor a Ferrari. For example, we once had a contract with the Dept of the Navy to install casework in aircraft carrier, and our contract lawyer caught a gap that didn't explicitly state who carried the cabinets into the ship from the delivery truck, so the contract tripled through change orders. It was a seven figure mistake by the government.

The key to a good sear on a sous vide steak is patting it dry before searing. Don't skip or half as this step. I think you said you got a torch, but if you go skillet route, get it smoking hot, with putting it in an oven at 500 degrees for half an hour being the best way.

You can get a ridiculous sear and an evenly cooked steak on any cut you get simply by bringing it up to room temp, patting it dry, putting beef tallow in the pan, and flipping it every 30 seconds.

It's a Modernist Cuisine trick. Flipping it gives the moisture somewhere to evaporate so it browns MUCH more quickly. You don't really want to cook beef in some garbage oil either because it will change the flavor. Beef tallow is much better.

This only partially true. The bid item pricing is generally great, but anything not covered by the bid is how you end up with a $400 toilet seat

Lol yeah, I've heard so many variations on this theme I can't even keep track. My dad was a government contractor and so are both of my brothers. I'm the black sheep who doesn't do it but I'm considering it since it's extremely stable work.

I sell the proverbial $400 toilet seat. That one was actually one of those submarine 0 noise ones AFAIK.

1) A shitload of the price in almost all cases is the fact that the government is not allowed to store almost anything and it needs to be ordered on a per order basis, so no price breaks.

2) they need mil spec packaging which for something like a UPS can cost from $50-$125 per item to get done. This also extends to things like resistors for circuit boards which need to be individual ESD bagged at like $1 a pop.

3) they are a small part of the overall electronics market (like 5%) and once something is designed it is on an approved list. It doesn't behoove companies to pump out stuff aimed at 5% of the market or even store it so it gets rare and also expensive to manufacture. You can wear your pirate hat in those cases.

I don't know much about selling manufactured goods to the government, but in my industry the fortune is never, ever made in the initial job cost, it's all in change orders because nothing ever goes according to plan, something gets overlooked in architectural drawings, specifications, site conditions etc etc. I can't even fathom how much money could be saved simply by limiting change orders in exchange for simply starting at a fair price

Looks like I need to get into the service side! Yeah there is not anywhere NEAR the amount of waste I assumed going in. Unless you're a franchised distributor or have very fuckin' special pricing from a master distributor you get beat on bids all the time even at like 15% margin.
