    Been doing keto with intermittent fasting for a little over 4 months. Down almost 60 lbs. always trying to find new ways to eat shit without getting sick of food. Breakfast is usually 4 eggs scrambled with a splash of heavy cream and 3 strips of bacon.

     

    Below is tonight’s dinner. Been craving spaghetti/lasagna so made some lasagna with sliced deli rotisserie chicken as the noodles. Worked amazingly well. Didn’t notice any competing flavors and texture was spot on. Caprese shown below too (mozzarella hidden under the basil). Will try to post more shit as I make them. Hoping some of u guys could contribute too.

    I got news yesterday that a good friend of mine passed away because of Heroin. It really fucked with me. I have been to like 9 rehabs and I met this guy in.....I think....the 7th rehab. It was in Egypt, TX outside Houston. Great Oaks is the name of the place if I remember correctly. I got on a plane in Lubbock and flew straight to Houston. I hadn't eaten in 3 days. I was sweating profusely waiting in the terminal. There was this young good looking couple that sat next to me on the plane and I knew they thought I was mentally ill as I was drenched in sweat and shaking. The boyfriend leaned in and said "Are you okay" I replied "I am going to rehab". He gave me a look of "Cool, I got you". His smoke show girlfriend thought I was scared of flying and she told me to order a drink. The boyfriend being my new sponsor shot that shit down quickly. 

    I get off the plane, head to Hard Rock Café and down two double and 7s while some dude is supposed to be picking me up outside. I finally stagger outside, he has a sign and he drives me to bum fuck Egypt, TX. I get there and it looks like an old plantation. I just want to see the nurse and get some Librium immediately. They go through my things and say you're bunking with a guy named Micah in Room 9. Cool. When the Nurse Tech said that "I was bunking with Micah" everyone laughed. All the sober people who had been there for one or two weeks laughed and high fived. "Micah is a axe murder" "Micah is a homosexual" "Micah should be in a faciality that deals with mental illness".

    I'm like whatever. I get my things together and Micah shows up. He says hi and asks he if can carry my bags for me. It was a 5 minute walk. Micah is going on and on about how shitty the place was and how the nurses watch you when you take your nightly meds, shit I don't care about. Finally we get to our room and Micah says something like "Hey I'm a homosexual, I just want to put that out there". I said "I don't care, I just want to take a shower". He gave me a towel and a fresh bar of Irish Spring. BEST SHOWER EVER. After I got out he shortly came back to the room and said that "Hey the Rockets are on and everyone was watching the game". I said  something like I need to sleep and I mentioned about not getting any Copenhagen before I left. He gave me two cans and told me to sleep well. 

    In group sessions Micah could recite the Book forwards and backwards. He was always listening and helping. I stayed in contact with him. I had dinner with him and his SO in 2019 at some place in Austin. Such a sweet soul.

    They found him yesterday morning with a needle in his arm. 24 years old.

    Fuck this disease. 

    Damn.

    On Netflix. About the Chris Watts case. Really well done and absolutely gut wrenching.

    He has to be one of the biggest monsters of modern times.

    Shocking movie.

  4. Cock-a-leekie roast chicken sous vide

    Often good free range chickens can be rather tough but this method is guaranteed to produce a succulent result with an interesting familiar flavour, especially for the lovers of cock-a-leekie soup.

    Ingredients:

    • 1 medium organic free range chicken (1400 gr)
    • 2 large leeks
    • 8 ready-to-eat semi dried prunes
    • Salt and peper

    Preparation method

    • Carefully remove the outer leaves of the leeks retaining as much green as possible. Wash thoroughly.
    • Blanch the leaves to soften enough to be pliable and immediately immerse in ice water.
    • Layout a bed of clingfilm on the work surface about 45 X 70 cm. (you may have to use overlapping lengths to get the necessary width).
    • Thoroughly drain the leak leaves and lay these overlapping on the clingfilm. We are later going to fold these over the chicken so that the bird is completely wrapped in the leaves.
    • Place the prepared bird onto the leaves and season.
    • Push four semi dried prunes between the leg and the breast on either side of the bird.
    • Now fold over the leek leaves so that the bird is completely wrapped.
    • Tightly wrap the clingfilm around the bird.
    • Place into a vacuum bag and seal.
    • Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 150°F (65°C).
    • Set the timer for 6 hours.
    • Place the bird in the water bath and ensure it stays submerged. (it will have the tendency to float and will require weighting down.)
    • Cover the water bath to avoid evaporation I find the Anova precision cooker lid works perfectly.
    • When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Carefully remove the chicken from the bag. Reserve cooking liquid and leek leaves to use in a sauce. Preheat a hot air oven to 220°C.
    • Pat the chicken dry and place on rack in a roasting tin to allow maximum air circulation. roast for about 15 to 20 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Possibly using a kamado bbq to brown of the bird would also work exceptionally well.
    • Let it rest for 10 minutes, slice, and serve.
