Re: Cooking and other culinary stuff
I've started making sushi with brown rice only now. It actually works and tastes just as good. And i think it's supposed to be the shiny side out.
I like substituting rice for yam sometimes, sprinkled with lots of turmeric. Curry gnarliness, but it's an excellent anti-inflam if you're working out or whatever.
manasecret: Coconut oil is probably the best oil for cooking with, even better than grapeseed. Make sure to get the dme pressed stuff, not the powder processed kind. It used to be the mainstay oil for popcorn n shit but back in the day some asshole released a study on how saturated fat is a killer, so people switched. The taste was jolting at first, but now I can cook it with anything and enjoy the coconut flavour. It's the best on skin too, for sun exposure or moisture.
I like sprouting grains and dehydrating the dough for some crazy raw goodness. Baked bread with pumpkin seeds, flax, etc. I love fresh baked bread.
A few weeks ago I made a banana blend with lots of cinnamon and a bit of nongmo soy lecithin. After having it in the fridge for the day i took it out and it had the consistency of pumpkin pie guts. It tasted like it would be awesome in a pie so I'm gonna try again and go with a coconut cream whipped top.
I use dates and stevia as sweeteners.
I try to combine hempseed with some meal each day, usually breakfast. 11 grams of protein per 30g srving, perfect 3-6-9 ratio for the human body. Manitoba harvest has the best stuff, far higher quality protein source than meat or whey. I like making a chocolate paste using coconut oil, raw cacao, coffee ground hemp seeds and either blackstrap molasses or dates. Sometimes agave. I also like grinding up chia seeds, if I want it to be more of a post workout snack.
My vita-mix blender just broke. Luckily my family has a blendtec which is super good at fucking food up too, but the vita-mix is overall a better blender because it has a speed dial which allows for a slow start, unlike the blendtec which busts the blades off the bat and sprays the contents all over the inside of the blender. It's a noticeable bitch to clean but worse than that if there's a bunch of uncreamed ingredients high up on the blender walls then it kind of either gets wasted or has to be scraped down. Just so you know if you're in the market for a highend blend.
green smoothies. Kale, lemon, ginger, spinach. All good. My parents have a really good twin gear juicer, and i wouldn't have believed it but broccoli juice is tasty straight.
