What R U Eating ? ~OGH wants to know.....

[Oregongearhead]

And yeah, I remember Mel from when I first started. He actually had a conversation with me about the wkm title, and how it's kind of a falsehood regarding knowledge (of which I had very little at the time, and still have very little ). I emailed millard about it and had my title changed to member well before the rest of you fucks got demoted down to my level

Welcome back Mel

Us "Awesome members" will always be AWESOME !! ~Ogh

So, I know this isn't the typical foodie post but I think it's relevant.
I don't like protein powder shakes. I prefer real food. I'm back at it full tilt after a year+ of limping along at the gym and with my diet. I need to gain 15lbs. to get back to where I want to be which means getting in those extra calories. 16oz. liquid egg whites + 16oz. of whole milk = 1 quart of good bio available protein and the extra calories I need. With whole milk you don't even taste the egg whites. It just tastes like milk.
With Fairlife whole milk (Higher protein, lower Carb milk) =
552 Calories, 78g Protein, 16g Carbs, 17g Fat
I drink 2 quarts a day when I'm going for gains. You do the math.
You can manipulate the macros to suit your needs by using regular milk vs. Fairlife or low fat or skim.
But I'm a dairy junkie so...

What ever works for you Mel . Protein powders are made from mostly milk protein (casein) and your drinking milk so there ! I always felt that as long as your getting at least 100gms of protein a day you"ll grow . I rarely go over 200-250gms a day protein even when bulking up .....

Agreed. Any protein over what you need isn't doing any good except that they are calories that aren't increasing your net carbs. For me it's the ease of pouring 2 liquids into a bottle and there you go. No mixing stuff, no blender, NO FAKE SUGAR which I cant stand the taste of, which is what's in most protein powders these days. It's 1,000 calories of relatively low carbs that's easy to do. And like I said I love milk so theres that.

@ickyrica pork belly burnt ends. Saw a video, stick in freezer for a bit, them cross hatch just into the skin, olive oil and rub, then drape over a metal bowl. Throw in the traeger on 275 for and 1 and a half or so. Cut cubes from skin, mix in mustard, and maple syrup with a stick of butter. Back in the traeger for another 1 or so. Fucking phenomenal, don't have to fuck around with removing the fat like you were talking about, and it cooks fast.

So the wife and I have a fairly sizeable container garden the last several years. We increased the size this year because I had time to kill during my Covid-19 vacation. We've been canning so much this year. One of our favorites is very simple to make and very versitile as to what you can do with it.

We have a cherry tomato bush that produces like crazy.
Cut the cherry tomatos in half. Toss them in olive oil, kosher salt, course ground pepper, lots of minced garlic, and fresh basil. Spread them 1 layer thick on a cookie sheet and bake them at 350 center rack for about 30-40 minutes until they start to break down and get soft. great on toasted bread, Toss it in pasta with a little olive oil, great topping for white pizza, etc... You get the idea.
