never did deep frying at home. My mother used to have one of these gadgets you can deep fry in when I was a child. I don't know how you'd call them in English. I think see used it a few times and then never again because of the giant amounts of oil one needs. It really seems kind of wasteful.

I think they are just called deep fryers. I hate deep frying... It takes too much work and resources. I deep fried food for a friends party about a year in & knew I would never do it for myself/family unless there was no other way.

The worst combination is high fat/protein

I think my problem is high fat/high carb or the amount/type of oil for me. Last September at a fair I tried a deep fried oreo at the request of my kids and wished I didn't 🤮

Btw, anyone have a recommendation for a cooking-idiot-approved pressure cooker? I'm quite happy with my fully-digital, cooking-idiot-approved rice cooker so I might start to get more adventurous after all, lol.

Everyone seems to love Instapot, but I have not tried it

I'll have to look out for that instant thing. There are quite a few a reasonable prices available as it seems.

May I ask why? Bad product?

Pineapple: Some cut up for snack, some for the freezer for later, and the core and rinds to simmer with ginger root for some pineapple tea (yum!)

Used 1/3 cup of the pineapple bits with coconut milk, stevia and ice in the blender for a smoothie. Had I not shared it with the kid, I would have added some rum into it.

The entire glass: 76 calories.

Late lunch: 4 Beef & Pork meatballs w/ mushroom gravy over shiratake noodles: 225 calories for whole thing.

UNBELIEVABLY filling. Ate about 1/2...will take another crack at it in a couple hours.

Thank you! This "food porn" thread got me through the worst part of the surgery!
The sausage is 3 oz of a 12 oz. sausage, so about 1/4th. I use Butterball turkey kielbasa.

No, I just don’t cook that way often enough. It’s big and takes up a lot of space.

dinner at Casa Ssss: potato rösti & smoked salmon, with sour cream and capers.

Passed on the rösti and just had the salmon and toppings: 154 calories. Ate it all! (Still have my leftover meatball shiratake meal in the fridge..it’ll have to wait till tomorrow)

2 oz. Seared Ahi tuna with soy ginger sauce, stir fry veggies and quinoa with kale. It's on a regular size plate because I'm weird and don't like my food touching. Lol I finished the tuna and managed to eat a couple veggies.

If you are talking “should”-ability, depends on your plan...these differ widely among doctors. If you are talking “could”-ability, well that just depends on individual tolerance.

Saying that, I tolerate deep fried stuff just fine, and come eating times, will eat it if it looks delicious and worth it (or If its deliciousness is verified by the Kid beforehand, lol) .Though I only started eating deep fried stuff after weight loss phase..:as I basically just ate salad and grilled chicken during that time.

Ok. I understand. Newbie. Still on fluids. Had no clue.
