as they freeze, so that it's just loose crumbles. then I just grab some and toss them in with random rice/stir fry or whatever other dishes that could stand a little extra protein. I deliberately cook them kind of plain or neutral so they'll go in with anything but you can add taco spice or whatever

although technically the most frequent red meat I consume, and this might actually be more useful to you, is I brown up a package or two of it at a time, with maybe a little salt So that I just have a bunch of cooked ground beef crumbles. I freeze them In a Ziploc, squishing them around a little bit

insides. finally I usually don't eat the entire steak at once. most often I let it cool off entirely in the fridge and then cut off thin slices and pan fry for like a minute until they are heated through and up to like a medium/medium well.

I pull it a little bit below the done temperature I'm looking for (I like to aim medium rare) And then the trick is to put it in a bowl and cover it and let it just sit for like half an hour while the residual heat continues to cook it and it's slowly comes down. yields a nice crust and tender

for something more steak like I like a ribeye (with a light dry brine, although I usually do that for the other stuff as well) In the air fryer. I usually use a probe thermometer, Hit it hard at 400 (after letting it sit out and come closer to room temperature for like half an hour first).

I like braising cuts like Chuck roast or shank (I particularly like boneless shank but that's not available as many places.) I usually end up tossing it in with onions and some red wine and some broth/herbs and just low and slow cook the fuck out of it until it is fall apart soft.

It really wasn't that bad.

The one that I have has like five little clicks to adjust exactly how deep it pokes and it took me a minute to dial in exactly what depth and pressure is the minimum needed to give me a nice fat drop, (It sucks to poke and then squeeze and it's like you hurt me for nothing!!) but once I did

outer left pinky, then inner left pinky on the next stick, then outer left ring, inner left ring etc making my way across both hands and by the time I made it all the way back around to outer left pinky It hadn't been stuck in days, so it hurt less.

I got a nice cheap little fingerprick glucose monitor from Walmart a little while back and It was annoying but not too painful. One thing I did to help spread out the ouchie was I would keep track of where I did the stick on my paper where I wrote down the numbers and I basically went

and obviously stick something else in his insides but I feel like that should go without saying

clearly the solution is for Mike to spit on him in a very different context 😉

#uspoli Do you think it bothers him that he never beat a man in a national election? I think that it bothers him.

a screenshot of a web page from the NIH the relevant portion says, thoroughly revised estimates show that the typical adult human body consists of 30 trillion human cells and about 38 trillion bacteria

and you couldn't survive without each other. Oh shit I looked it up and it appears to be true at least according to the NIH. Okay, so we're only talking bacteria here not even fungus or virus. lol. If you were a democracy the bacteria would win.

SUPPOSEDLY there are more cells on this little meat sack carnival ride that I pilot around that are not human cells than there are human cells. So if you're talking a pure numbers game, you are more not human than you are human, but we evolved together and it's part of what makes you human,

Supposedly (And I would need to fact check this, but it feels true) if you add up all of the cells of different organisms that live on our skin and in our guts and under our nails and in our belly buttons, And you take into account how tiny viruses&bacteria are and whatever,

But this does not seem to be the case

and like...mayyyybe If they were directly on a path where a lot of people walked their dogs and the dogs were constantly pissing and shitting on and next to the plants, I might maybe want to consume other plants, especially if I was planning on eating them raw and not boiled or cooked in any way?

"But you'd have to be a subliterate, brainless, incurious, uninformed moron with the mind of a small child to think that's how the world works." Yes, have you not been paying attention to LITERALLY EVERYTHING THE PRESIDENT DOES AND SAYS, IN PUBLIC, ALL THE TIME, FOR A DECADE

I did fuck all with the vegetables because I was too busy chat dumping The beat by beat of the next couple chapters of my Byler crackfic-taken-seriously NYC post finale story with the instigator.

and see where we are at on the sauce.

enough to convert collagen to gelatin and make it fall apart soft) So the idea is to bring it down slowly, In about 20 minutes I'm going to turn it off and then leave it in the oven for more residual heat cooking for another half hour or 45 minutes and then it's time to pull the meat and shred it

#k8food update on the pork. after that first 99 minutes I uncovered it and went for a while longer and then at some point I turned it over, And now it's on 180 for like an hour. It's maybe 90% done (well it's 100% food safe cooked done and has been for a while but this is about low and slow long

hah. This reminds me of how on the rare occasion that a vegan tries to gross me out with "The realities of meat production" I'm like... You know that plants eat radiation and shit and rotted dead things, right? like that's kind of their thing.

I feel like Sean Fennessey, Mr "I love physical media so much", might have a lead on this or know who does.

Super looking forward to 911 this week after seeing those stills. can't wait to see them manage to make Buddie gayer than the hockyboys™ But still somehow not Canon. (kidding, I haven't watched since they left for the last mid-season break, &maybe this time Lucy can be trusted, that would be nice)

But according to these guys that's supposed to work! (This probably doesn't need to be said but oh boy do not watch this show unless you want all of the nightmares about how babby go wrong).

pork, So I also have to pan fry the shrimp for steam them or something.

#k8food also need to check if still good and prep/blanche/and/or quick saute bok choy, napa, broccoli rabe and iceberg. pretty sure the watercress isn't good after a week but I'll give it a sniff. also thawed the remainder of my frozen shrimp yesterday, completely forgetting that when I thawed the
