but the beef from my supermarket takes at least 4.5 hours to get near the edible stage and theirs falls apart in 1.5 hours (and is way more delicious)
I am a fan of chicken and mushroms as well, so your version will be next, thanks!

Could be a lot of things. Could be what the cow was fed, the quality of food it was fed, post butchering treatments that bulk chain butchers do (gross). I've stopped buying meat from the grocery store and started buying from local butchers at the farmers market. I buy a hundred or so bucks worth of meat and then freeze it all in my deep freeze.

To contribute, I made a sort of janky white person's stir fry last night.

I decided to go meatless for January, simply to lower my sheer caloric intake post-holidays, and I really should have just resolved not to read this thread. Between chili, wings, and prosciutto-wrapped chicken, I'm being sorely tested right now.

This would result in me ending up anemic, again. I tried to cut my red meat intake to one serving or less a week, and my iron dropped so far I was short of breath. Supplements and veggies high in iron didn't help, either. So I'm back on the meat train. I'm pretty sure I could live on red meat, potatoes and the odd fruit.

(trigger warning for lactose intolerant gwspooners - this uses all the cheese).



Unff. I'd sacrifice my guts for that. A friend asked me last night, what my dying meal would be if I knew I was going to die. I said, all the cheeeeese. And a fatburger milkshake.

Ugh, brussels sprouts are unnecessarily expensive here (Edmonton) right now. Stores are trying to get $2.50/lb for them, when they used to be 99 cents.

And they're lovely. Or maybe that's just Calgary, but they're always pretty crummy.

I've made entirely dairy free risotto with just vegetable stock and a lot of stirring, and it was amazing. Dairy isn't necessarily at all.

Yessssss. will try.

I made a nice meal tonight. I made risotto. I didn't use arborio rice, I had some short grain rice I figured would work just as well.



Not bad for my first time. It was delicious and savoury but a little bit hard still.

I threw this in with the oil and let it bloom a bit before adding the rice.



Roast chicken



Plated with acorn squash and greens. I hate greens, but my husband makes me eat them. I'm not great at plating, and I was hungry.



It was pretty delicious. It was ruined halfway through by my husband bringing up an argument from last night, then getting all mad at me. Oh well, I guess I'm nourished.

I'd never eaten acorn squash before a few weeks ago, but I am super into it now. I like to just roast it with (fake) butter and garlic, salt and pepper.

I'm pretty new to GWS and I ask a lot of questions, and no one's been elitist towards me. I think it has more to do with the general content of posts, though.

I made halibut for the first time ever last night. I made a herbed panko crust with dill, chives, parsley, and a bit of lemon rind. The photo doesn't look great but it was really, really tasty. Boiled then baked potatoes, and I was going to make brussels sprouts, but my husband protested. There wasn't room in the oven, anyways.

Why am I only hearing about chickpea chips now?
hosed up my pancreas a couple of months ago due to 15 years of nightly drinking. Cut back the booze but ended up back in hospital because of too much fried food, so now have to cut off any oils/fat too :(

This surprises you??

Oh also only using a tablespoon of the sauce and one or two peppers is for wimps, throw the whole drat can in there imo

I find it gets too smokey, and kills other flavors, but that could have been the brand I've been buying. Safeway started carrying a different brand and I picked one up last week, so I'll give it a whirl soon.
