Crimes Against Nutrition

I sincerely appreciate the advice, and will give it a go, but grits (even the instant abominations) must still be featured in my diet at least 1-2x a week

I’ve actually never tried making grits, but I sub them for bread at breakfast joints. Pretty tasty.

Tried to find my worst food photo. How about this…

Chicken paws. I bake these for my dogs sometimes, but my wife can’t stand to look at them or touch them. I like to chase her around the kitchen with one, pawing at her. So, romance is alive and well.

It requires boiling water, stretching me to my culinary limit

you can simmer these in soy sauce, aniseed, fennel, cinnamon, ginger, bay leaves and rice wine until tender. Quite delicious.

The other option is to fry, then steam with soy sauce and oyster sayce

Ooh, pick me!

I’m guessing you’re adding the powder directly to the grits while they’re still hot. Because whey dissolves in water instead of thickening it, it interferes with the starches gelling. Also the lecithin acts as a surfactant, which also prevents gelling.

If you mix the protein with a little liquid to make a paste, then stir it in after the grits have set slightly, you won’t have that problem.

If those are nice and crunchy like wing tips I’ll gnaw the bajeezus out of them.

There’s a couple in the food porn thread, but I saved a couple for here too because…

I completely flubbed putting the dough on the screen and had to kinda smoosh the stuff around.

But I blame my boy Bluedle.

I’m gonna start a go fund me to get him some googly eyes.

I had a nibble once. Not bad. Great source of collagen. Salt them up and try not to look at the toenails and… maybe. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
