Hah, awesome! Yeah dude it’s a great combo. Avocados are the truth. Perhaps the most versatile piece of natural food i’ve eaten. I mean I can eat them with anything. I mean I bet they’d even be good with vanilla bean ice cream or something, I just can’t imagine them not pairing with * lmfao.
#AvocadoFan lul.
Funny about the cheese. You said it was “plain”, cheese juices didn’t “marinade” it at all?
peace!
Went back on the fajita style lunch real quick, been craving it. Did it more proper today. Also added a little “twist” to it by having the statue looking at it, lmao.

Also did some weirder shots of some meals. I didn’t like how they came out in my normal areas I take photos with, so I tried some new spots & a zoomed out angle. Came out kind of cool I guess.

That Kefir in the last photo, is ridiculous. It’s “Greek God’s Strawberry/Honey Kefir”. If you see it & are into dairy/kefir, it’s definitely worth a try. It’s crazy good.
peace!
Demon thing scared me in first pic
4 eggs in a not-quite-scrambled/not-quite-omelet thing with about a cup of chopped spinach, everything bagel with 1Tbsp coconut oil. Not pictured: apple eaten while eggs were cooking.
One perk of full body workouts… guilt-free bagels. #EarnYourCarbs
Hit up a new fajita spot… was solid. Fajita’s have become my new “meal the day before a very important run”. So far, 4/4 on how I felt/performed the next day. I always order steak fajitas, with an extra side of grilled chicken. proteinz.

I very rarely go out to eat cause we’re cheap and saving for goals. Took the kids to a hibachi style grill tonight. Awesome. Dude was nice and very personable and hammed it up for the kids. Didn’t get a pick of the veggies or salad, but I hoovered those down too. Entire meal was likely 1750 calories and likely a week’s worth of salt.
Turkey burger on sourdough rye. Need to figure out how to better “photograph” a burger. Next time i’m going to cut it in half, I think that’ll help. lool.

admittedly not one of your best photos, but in general you do an amazing job of taking pics of your food
hah! Thanks alot man! Yeah, I figured i’d post it anyway because it’s at least semi decent (and different). I cook pretty “minimalist” meals, so I guess I compensate for that by trying to figure out how to make the photos more interesting than they normally would be. As an example, I just ordered a “black plate”, similar to that white plate I take most of the photos on now. I figure I can mess around with little details like that, giving me more subsequences/permutations to play with.
This is one of my favorite threads, even though sometimes it makes me hungry.
peace!!
Protein-berry baked pancakes, for when you don’t feel like flipping. Gotta love dat sizzle.
(First food porn vid in the thread? C’mon bros. I know you got some good steak-grillin’ clips)
Good point @ first vid… lmao. Solid crackle.
For reference, I took a photo of me holding a yam… 8| I usually use a really big yam (organic, from whole foods). I forget the exact type of yam, I think it’s an “organic jewel yam”:

This turned out incredible. It had a little extra salty flavor, I think because I used my pink sea salt instead of normal sea salt… Not sure though, will try it again and see. The sauteed yam came out so good though I was in heaven. Also some grilled chicken & avocado in there.

Pre workout 430am. Have to keep em covered to make proper over medium “dippy” eggs. Forgot to video for Chris… plus they’re eggs.
This is my breakfast every day! Can’t be bothered to dirty another bowl just to scramble the eggs, so I just poke them with the spatula a few times.
Tonight’s dinner (quality is crap, I was huuuuuungry):
Mahi Mahi poached in white wine, topped with chanterelle-ragu (foraged-chanterelles, shallots, garlic, walnuts, Parmesan cheese; finished with the searzall)
Awesome! You must be in the pacific north west. I’ve never had that variety.
A chef friend of mine showed me a nice trick for cleaning- In a large mixing bowl, mix a few tablespoons of flour into warm water. Swish them around a little and gently rub or brush any little bits of dirt. The flour makes it like a nice flavor neutral soap, then a quick rinse.
Is dying from eating mushrooms a thing or do they just say that to children to frighten them?
It’s a thing. False chantrelles (Orange) don’t kill you usually. Just stomach issues.
The bad one is the death cap. It looks exactly like a safe mushroom that grows in asia. Asian immigrants come here and harvest them not knowing and die.
Pro-tip: scramble the eggs in a protein-shaker-cup.
I like the ingenuity, but those things are a pain to wash!
