Sliced a 21-ounce raw London Broil into 12 pieces and marinated them overnight. Heated a frying pan on high and seared the meat for about two minutes on each side. Mixed five with a salad for lunch, and it was so good I repeated it for dinner.
It's funny, but now that I'm not eating at fast food places, they seem to be sending me better offers. Jack in the Box sent me a coupon for a free Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger with the purchase of a large soda, and BK is offering BOGO Whoppers all week.

I didn't realize you gave up fast food. Good for you. The only time that I am eating fast food is when I am travelling for work. There always seems to be a McDonalds or Arbys right next to the hotel.

I'm trying to follow a diet that was recommended to me, which has three seventeen-day cycles. The first phase was easy; this one is a little harder. Phase 3 allows one meal a week of my choice. It's really about breaking habits, making substitutions, and adding seventeen minutes of exercise each day. Instead of buying a pizza, I made a crustless pizza using low-fat mozzarella, cottage cheese, plant-based "beef crumbles", green and orange peppers, parmesan cheese and turkey sausage and pepperoni.
No burgers, no pasta and no potatoes for the 51-day cycles.
Arizona has a great chain called Salad to Go. For $12, you get a 16-ounce iced coffee or fresh lemonade, a reasonably healthy breakfast burrito, and a gigantic salad. The salad is large enough to serve as a main meal for lunch and still have enough left to add steak or chicken as the main dish for dinner.
I generally only eat at McDonald's when I'm on the road, as I know how my body handles it. There is little worse than having a three-hundred-mile ride and a meal that disagrees with you.

Chicken cacciatore in the slow cooker for 8 hours. Time is everything when you make Italian marinara, the longer you cook it the better it gets. The old country Italian women in New York City would have a pot of marinara on the stove on low heat all the time day and night.

Ever had corn ribs? I'd never heard of them until I moved here, but there are several varieties and they are incredibly popular.
There is a Mexican version that uses mayonnaise and Mexican sour cream, but I prefer the Cowboy style, which is BBQ sauce, sour cream and molasses, although I use breakfast syrup instead and add a touch of smoked aioli sauce. I know there are a few other varieties but I don't know what goes into them.
Take a cob og fresh corn, and cut it in half. Put the halves on their end and slice it into quarters. Soak in the marinade for a few minutes
and then toss them on the grill or pan fry, and cook until they carmelize. Some like them hot, but they make a nice trail snack.

Today, it was some frozen breakfast sausages stuffed with American cheese-like product for breakfast, some chili cheese potato wedges (the wedges airbaked with a Foodi Ninja, and the chili microwaved) for lunch, and some chicken cordon blanc (a prebaked and reheated chicken breast, stuffed with Jarlsberg cheese and ham - it's like Cordon Bleu, but the way I make it, it's only good enough for third place) for dinner.

Stir-fried some peppers, added a pound of ground turkey, and half a jar of sauce. Let it simmer for a while and then add a few heaps of ricotta cheese and about a half pound of mozzarella. Added half a jar of sundried tomatoes and let it cook until almost all the sauce burned off. I had a bowl of it for dinner, and the rest is for tomorrow when I will cook brown rice pasta for the first time.

I used to eat almost exactly that when I was a younger guy. Pound of ground meat, pound of cheese, tomato sauce, a bit of whatever. It worked when I spent hours a day at the gym, I probably wouldn't do that now.

A few years ago, I'd have had pork sausage in addition to 80/20 ground beef, used a sauce loaded with sugar and included a pound of rigatoni in the meal, as well as having multiple slices of buttered Italian bread, along with the mandatory end-of-the-day six-pack.
I reckon I'm saving about 1500 calories per pot. If I make it twenty times a year, that's 30,000 calories saved by making relatively small changes in the recipe. Reducing my caloric intake by 30,000 is supposed to result in a long-term loss of about eight pounds.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, I expect to make a minimum of 100 more pots over the next few years, so that's 150,000 calories saved or roughly forty pounds. That alone is grounds for a celebration. Pizza anyone?

In celebration of passing my annual physical exam, I went to lunch. (It's Tuesday, so the stall run by the Cantonese aunties is closed. The horrors persist, yet so do I.)
This is the combination hotpot in tonkatsu broth, mild spicy.
Chicken/beef/seafood, house made noodles, cabbage, broccoli, carrot, mushrooms, lotus root, pea pods.
It's not really a hotpot, as they cooked it in the kitchen, rather than me cooking it at the table. The broccoli and cabbage both would have benefitted from an extra minute in the blanching pot. The spiciness was approximately the limit of my tolerance.
Ashly got a bowl of pho from a different stall in the food hall. She may pollute her soul with cilantro, I choose the path of righteousness.

What does that mean, to pass a physical exam. I took mine last week and I didn't pass it, I had a bunch of stuff that was wrong with me. This is too high, that's too low, I could lose a few more pounds. You just said that you're 75 lb overweight, how on Earth did you pass a physical. Does your doctor have a medical degree? Did you take a quiz in a magazine and you consider that passing your physical?

So-called breakfast food is an urban myth, there is no such thing. There is traditional breakfast food which is meaningless because in every country it's different. There's no food you can eat in the morning that is any better or worse for you than any other food. My first meal of the day for the last 8 years has been sardines, avocado, tomato, blueberries, almonds, and zero carb bread. To me that's breakfast food. To many people breakfast food is stuffing themselves with carbohydrate so their pancreas dumps a bunch of insulin into their bloodstream and makes them more tired than when they first got up and they sluggishly plug their way through the morning.

It's an annual work physical. Must meet certain minimum qualifications to pass. Must pass to be able to travel for this job. Blood pressure not too high, vision corrected to at least 20-20, can hear, signoffs from cardiologist and diabetes doctors (because I have some heart troubles and some diabetes), bend over and touch your toes without falling over. (I am not on CPAP, so I don't get the CPAP logs checked.)
The pain in the neck this year was the cardiology signoff. 6 weeks of appointments and tests, finalized Monday with a heart catheterization to probe that all the bypasses are wide open, after last week's PET scans showed a minor irregularity. A week before that, the echocardiogram was clear. The youngest daughter did a ride-along for that one, and thought the ultrasound imaging of the heart was "cool". (She has been concerned that my heart was replaced with a robotic heart. She knows about the titanium hardware in my chest because she insists on seeing every X-ray picture she can find, and she regularly demands explanations from doctors about what they're doing to Daddy.)
The whole point of the physical is to provide basic assurances to management that I'm not ignoring my health to the point where I'm going to drop dead while I'm sweeping a hardwood floor at a customer site, since that seems to be interpreted as "bad customer service" and possibly a contract failure. They really don't like having to discount an invoice, so everyone who travels solo goes in for the "annual" physical. People in really rough shape may only get 3 months until they're due next; the young guys in near perfect health might get 2 years.
The guys who fail completely get promoted to office work, which almost entirely defeats my purpose of having the job - an expense account and travel (to casinos).
I didn't finish all the broth. It was just salty enough that it would crush me for the remainder of the day. The vegetables and meats were good. Still undecided on the noodles; they're good, but I think I slightly prefer machine made noodles over hand made noodles.
May the cards fall in your favor.

It is Wednesday, so the Cantonese aunties are back running their stall. Brisket rice noodle soup.
The brisket is tender and succulent. The bok choy is delightful. The broth is swimming with green onion - flavorful and mildly spiced. The noodles are a good balance of chewy and slurpable.
Not a shred of cilantro in sight.

What a difference a day makes. The brown rice and meat sauce was mediocre yesterday, but sitting overnight with a little olive oil, the meal was superior. I'm not sure it's worth the extra expenses, but it was much better pan-fried than boiled.

Quote: billryanI started a seventeen-day diet tweak today. No pizza, no pasta, no fast food, no potatoes, more salads with less dressing, two servings of yogurt, and an extra seventeen minutes of light exercise every day.
I'd been a bit disappointed with my weight loss of 3 pounds, 2 pounds, and another 2 pounds, but this week I lost 11 pounds, so a total of 18 pounds for the month. 36% of my goal in the first month.
My partner in this is four inches shorter and about fifty pounds heavier and he has now dropped 31 pounds in a month. He used to drink a dozen cans of Mexican Coke a day, half with rum. He's gone the month drinking only ice water.
Having a partner helps a lot. The other night , he called and really wanted fast food. We spoke on the phone and I convinced him we'd go together the next day. The crisis passed.

I took two chicken breasts and sliced them in thirds. Next, I cooked them in the oven until they were just this side of rare. Sliced each piece in half and put it on top of a sweet potato wedge. Added bacon bits, some onion, mozzerella cheese, a drizzle of honey and ancho sauce, and broiled four pieces until the cheese was brown.
I'd never heard of ancho sauce until I moved to Tucson, but it is everywhere here. It has a taste that is hard to describe. It's smokey but mild and often leaves a chocolatey aftertaste.

It’s interesting how differently you can enjoy salmon. Sashimi. Sushi. This smoked version. Different smoked version (lox). And of course many baked/broiled/ croquettes type recipes.

Some sauces can easily turn a healthy 500-calorie meal into an 800-calorie one. My neighbor makes ancho by the gallon and sells me some. She gets $8 a bottle on the food trucks but sells them for four dollars in the park. She doesn't load it with sugar.

What do you put it on? Do you cook with it?

I've used it like a regular soy sauce. This BBQ sauce is a lot better [taste] than the soy sauce. Once you use this BBQ sauce [on meat, fish, rice soup, dim-sum, etc...] , you will never go back to the soy sauce

Teryaki sauce is a mainstay in my marinades and stir-fries, but I find less is more. My Dad had ulcers, so we ate very mild food, even when he was away. I prefer sweet sausage to hot, and an occasional buffalo chicken wrap is as spicy as I go.
I like my BBQ smokey, not hot.

Todays meal was a cherry wood smoked pork tenderloin. Both the wife and I enjoyed it but unfortunately my dog grabbed the second one off the counter so I have no leftovers for tomorrow.

Quote: billryanQuote: billryanI started a seventeen-day diet tweak today. No pizza, no pasta, no fast food, no potatoes, more salads with less dressing, two servings of yogurt, and an extra seventeen minutes of light exercise every day.
I'd been a bit disappointed with my weight loss of 3 pounds, 2 pounds, and another 2 pounds, but this week I lost 11 pounds, so a total of 18 pounds for the month. 36% of my goal in the first month.
My partner in this is four inches shorter and about fifty pounds heavier and he has now dropped 31 pounds in a month. He used to drink a dozen cans of Mexican Coke a day, half with rum. He's gone the month drinking only ice water.
Having a partner helps a lot. The other night , he called and really wanted fast food. We spoke on the phone and I convinced him we'd go together the next day. The crisis passed.

As I often told people in the last 30 years anybody and I mean anybody can lose weight. Feels good, and good for you and it doesn't take very long. But the whole point of it is, and I mean the entire point of it is, keeping it off. Not gaining it back. I think the stats are 90% of the people who lose weight gain it back plus more. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer but unless that's your plan why waste your time. Lot of people will say oh yeah, not a problem. Then as soon as they're done losing what they want they celebrate by binging food. I've been on a what I call rest of my life diet for about 4 years now. I'll never gain the weight back I will always be striving to get to my ideal weight. I can't play that lose it gain it lose it gain it game anymore. Too damn old.

Quote: SOOPOOI got the smoked salmon that EB thinks will kill me. Gave one piece to wife’s daughter. She texted me to say it was the best salmon she has ever had. I just had a hunk of the salmon I kept. Can’t disagree with her.
It’s interesting how differently you can enjoy salmon. Sashimi. Sushi. This smoked version. Different smoked version (lox). And of course many baked/broiled/ croquettes type recipes.

Of course it's good, radioactivity and sludge in a fish's diet adds extra flavor. Chow Down..
