Instant Pot beef soup. I like the way the pressure cooker beats up the beef.




Roasted turkey breast, mashed potatoes, peas and carrots, thin gravy.




Jalapeno cheese bagel with smoked salmon and avocado. With trash behind it.




Green salad with lots of vegetation and some tuna mix. Not pictured half a dozen bacon wrapped smoked oysters.

This thread has been giving me LIFE during the past two months of my cut (completed as of yesterday) to get under 130.

Now I have something to contribute: my girlfriend's birthday cake. I'll show the inside later on tonight--it's got layers of chocolate and peanut butter icing. We decorated it together with "chocolate clay" made with chocolate and HFCS so it becomes malleable. The decorations are therefore edible, but not all that tasty.







Annnnd some of my final cutting meals here:

chicken quesadillas on low carb tortillas with potato [because I only picked the low carb tortillas to get more calories of potato], onions, peppers, and cheese. Roasted veggies on the side + raw cucumber salad:



Trout with asparagus, steamed beet greens, thyme-roasted beets, and Japanese sweet potato:



Bison with oven fries, roast peppers, and roast broccoli:

It's really common in Middle Eastern cuisine. It's a nice way to get the brightness of lemon with the intense tartness that can come from the peel. I use them in lots of stews, especially seafood stews.You can just chop the entire lemon and toss it in.

@red, whatcha doing for workouts these days?
I've been hitting up so many bodyweight workouts--I did 100 pistol squats today, plus 40 shrimp squats and 225 push ups, along with a bunch of jumping jacks, handstand practice, and jiu jitsu movement drills. Tomorrow I'm doing more 'pull' movements, like gi pull ups and fat grip pull ups on my brother's new rack.

On another note, I recently had a gastritis flareup. It's something I've dealt with for years, mostly with medication and diet change. Basically, I can't eat a lot of fat, definitely no fried foods, and also no: tomatoes, strawberries, sugar snap peas, garlic, cottage cheese(????), beans of any kind or bean products like tofu, corn or corn items, and bread that has too many seeds in it. Soooooo if anyone has suggestions for how to make a curry without these items I value it. Also what to sub for tomatoes in lamb saag? Most of the dish is totally doable, and I was thinking of subbing in red peppers?

TIA. Here are some recent meals.

Bison and an absolute sh*tload of oven fries:



Double chocolate pancakes made with pumpkin, egg whites, cocoa powder, and coconut flour as a base:



Ham, cheese, roasted zucchini, and mustard on low-carb wrap with salad:

I cut up a whole chicken and grilled it. Boneless breasts, boneless thighs, bone in wings and drumsticks. Came out nice. I need to make some sauce next time. And chickens should have more wings.

And for my post workout meal, I turned it into a spicy mustardy dish, with a ton of smetana and fresh dill.

My BJJ gym is still closed so it's all home workouts for me, on the Peloton and whatever strength training I can manage with free weights and a bench. I sprained my ankle while hiking really badly about a month ago and I'm just now getting range of motion back.

The red peppers substitute makes sense to me. For the curry, could you maybe do 1/4 cup or less of low fat coconut milk, then a chicken stock and thicken it with a cornstarch slurry?

At least Whole Foods delivery is back with some regularity.

I'm surprised to hear about the pork scarcity. I've been hearing that it's easier to get than ground beef, but maybe it's specific cuts you're after?

On the pork scarcity: I mean, it seems the butchers I really like here get weekly deliveries. So at The Meat Hook in Brooklyn (love the place) they sell out on pork shoulder in the first 24 hours, I think. Did a nice trip out today and saw a farmers market near Eataly - a lamb purveyor had some awesome stuff. But I want to rid my fridge of these miso packets first. Will get on it after vacation.

No pics this time - been going out to eat, and am trying longer fermentation (2-3 day) versions of my no-knead bread approach. The 2 day version was already vastly superior - the crumb structure was completely different. The first 18 hours on the counter, then 24 hours in the fridge, a final two hour proof on the counter (after shaping) then bake. Just...hnnngh.

You can pick up a pelmenitsa on Amazon or at any of the shops in Brighton Beach - I love them because it's Soviet efficiency perfection - all angles striving toward a utopian future of dumplings for all. I'd go for metal, the things last forever.

Yeah, BJJ gyms aren't opening in NY until we have a vaccine, it seems--crazy. I'm glad you've got peloton. I've heard good things. As for curry, low-fat coconut milk should be fine, I think--we'll see.

Oh - favorite butcher in NYC @shesprints?

I did it! I used pumpkin, though no tamarind--honestly forgot--I'll try that next time, as I can see enjoying the acidic flavor. We've made dishes with tamarind before and liked them.

Unfortunately i don't use a butcher at all--we eat mostly fish, so.


@Stoli yes I LOVE steelhead trout. Better than salmon--mild and sweet.


Here is the saag, served over cauliflower with a side of swiss chard and the ever-present Japanese sweet potato:
