Man, this definitely feels like one of those pick your battles decision. Are you sure you want to risk arrest just to get to the gym 5 days early? Shit stays with you your entire life.

Haha, Iām American, so Iām yoga-ing on my 55" TV. Amazon Prime has what seems like a decent amount of professionally produced content, so until Iām more familiar and can take voice commands rather than having to see it I donāt want to use my phone, or even computer. Iām very nearsighted, and my glasses seem to get in the way a lot. So having someone pretty nearly my size showing me the moves is helpful. But I may look into it when Iām more confident, so thank you!
I confess that, after several months going without, I had my first ārealā steak last night. It was a 12oz New York Strip Steak (they called it a Kansas City strip, but come on now), cooked rare. It was a legit rare: cool, blue red center. For the first time in my life, I actually savored my food, taking small bites and just letting the transcendental bliss wash over me.
Life without steak is not a life worth living.

Really? Iāve reverted back to real potatoes once I found out what a great source of potassium they are.
I microvave small ones for 4 min. each and theyāre ready to eat.
The mediums get 6 min.
Then a dollop of sour cream or a bit of butter, maybe some shredded cheddar, fork mash and awesome.
Back when I was a kidā¦
We had to actually bake them for like 30 min. @ 350Ā° or 400 or something. It was downright arduous.

This is what always upsets me when people so āOh better eat a banana for that potassiumā. Why did bananas beat out potatoes when the latter are superior in potassium AND ability to be delicious?

The renewed potato talk reminded meā¦no judgment, but this seems like an INCREDIBLE amount of effort. Was it tasty at a level that justified this much actual cooking?
Again, no judgment. I have four kids and have expanded and doctored various, and Iāll admit without shame that a huge treat for my family was what we called faux-tatoes (instant), Stovetop stuffing, green beans, and baked chicken. Usually I made real food, but there really is nothing like Stovetop for tastiness. I still eat it occasionally.

There is just something about the taste of this. It canāt be replicated in natureā¦lol We had some just the other day.

I have no idea, other than looks and food fashion, but I will admit that I fell for it hard. I even made my own custom banana hanger. If it werenāt for my dive into electrolytes Iād still be on the banana bandwagon.
Potatoes are like the work horse of the food world. Theyāre dirty and ugly, but man, they get it done!
You know what else is also better than bananas?
Mushrooms and spinach.

Is that done like a casserole? Cuz it sounds awesome and now Iām really hungry.
After my post I made it last night (sans spinach) It takes, maybe, 10 minutes of actual work and maybe 20 minutes of cooking.
Paired it with nice NY strips (cooked on the grill with wet cherry wood) and asparagus (also on the grill).
The only thing less involved would be a Lean Pocket in the microwave. The hardest bit was lighting the fire.

Good thing this is a flame-free threadā¦
When I was single, after work I would put a couple of chicken breasts in the oven (apartment), and after a quick shower would start the broccoli and the lipton noodles.
I figured that the chicken and broccoli offset the fake cheese and multiple nasty ingredients in the Noodles - right?
anyway - they are too good (kinda like pop-tarts), but sooooo worth the shame.

I look like a sad potato.
But seriously potatoes are so good for you. Cut up with butter and garlic salt, wrap them in tin foil and throw on the gril for 10 min. Perfection. Or cuts small and throw in the air drier for perfect home fries.
