Food Porn Thread

Scored some quality avocado’s for a super low price, but they were a tad unripe.

Placed 2 into a brown paper bag with a few banana’s (heard this speeds up the ripening process), left one on the counter in the kitchen.

After a few days the ones inside the bag seems to be just as soft as the bench avo, so sfa difference in ripening rate (based on just a few samples).

Slight derail on the food thread but ‘food for thought’…

Great thread. I spent a little money a few years back and hired a nutritionist to help me prepare better meals that were higher in protein less carb and better fats. I am 67 and pre-diabetic with an A1C running from 5.6 to 6.4 I am also on TRT and go to the gym 5 days a week. Bodybuilding is a hobby but at my age, I have to be very careful. Anyway, I’d like to share a few dishing I cook every week.

Here’s the final product!
Cut the smoking short bc tube was literally melted shut Lol :joy: still got a decent flavor though. Better than store bought imo, but I’m biased of course. Now just need to learn how to carve it properly

I think it looks Great. You mentioned chemistry class but you are so inventive what degree are you going for? Engineering I hope. I’m a retired Aerospace Engineer.

My HS chem teacher was very permissive and let me (and sometimes helped me) experiment in class. He actually interrupted a lecture to help me adjust the temperature of a water bath I was cooking scallops in.

Thanks! When I was little, I liked cooking but parents didn’t want to invest in proper equipment and sometimes I wanted to try advanced techniques, so I got used to improvising. Actually wrote my personal statement for uni about it

No, I’m studying behavioural Econ, Econ and possibly psych or decision science
Although, You could say I’m learning to engineer ppls behaviour :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

This hot sauce is absolutely awesome. I have been putting it on everything lately. Scotch Bonnet Pepper based. Excellent heat but still flavorful.

It’s standard form to clarify when you post pics that you didn’t take of meals you didn’t make. You made something like what’s in the pic? Cool. Just mention it.

It’s a Czech pastry. Usually filled with ice cream or whipped cream, but I didn’t have any

It’s basically dough covered in sugar

My mom is 79 yo, she said that was health food at it’s finest. :sweat_smile:

Well, sure. Cheese puffs are…what, corn? So a vegetable, and then some…uh, cheese. So a burger, vegetable, and…cheese.

Very well rounded. Plus the bun. Another vegetable, practically.
