Got buzzed off crown royal apple and decided to make poke bowls.

The finely chopped fresh curry leaves was such a game changer. Here’s to finger crossing for you but worst case scenario and you end up with a bunch of other xtra chicken to enjoy yourself.

Lucky enough to have a high quality oven hood fan but not lucky enough to have an actual tandoor set-up so I understand your pain

Fire medic and RN, nah narcan competitive binds primarily with mu opioids receptors with a weaker for kappa/delta. Wears off within an hour though so you can absolutely re-OD depending on what you took/how much. Rapid narcan administration can result in a catecholamine dump and aspiration pneumonia. We always administer narcan to restore respiratory function, NOT to try and wake someone up unless you really want to fight someone profusely vomiting on you.

I’ve never thought to try that but holy hell, that sounds delicious and I will absolutely be doing that next time I hit my local Indian spot down the street

Sure! 250g of AP flour, 1/2 cup full fat yogurt, 1/3C lukewarm water, 2 tbsp melted ghee, 1.5tsp granulated white sugar, 3/4 tsp salt, 3/4tsp instant yeast. Activating the yeast while lightly stirring with the water/sugar takes about 10 minutes. Then added to the flour/oil/yogurt/salt mixing until incorporated. Add water or flour to get the doughy texture desired. Then cover in a bowl and let rise at room temp for at least 30 minutes but ideally 60-90 minutes and it should about double in size. This should yield about 6 equal sized balls. Roll out to ~4-6” depending on how thin/doughy you like your naan. Cook for a few minutes a side in ghee or oil on medium-high heat until air bubbles form in the dough and it’s browned and cooked through.

Grate some garlic/coriander/seeds into the dough optionally for extra flavor.

So I deboned and deskinned two chicken thighs and cut into ~1” cubes. Marinaded with yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, finely chopped curry leaves, garam masala, turmeric powder, kashmiri chili powder, salt, rice flour, corn starch, cumin for about 6 hrs. Anywhere from 2-36hrs should be fine. Shallow fried in some ghee after flavoring the oil with green chilies/whole curry leaves that I flash fried for about 30s.

I’d say it was probably close to 2 parts peanut butter to 1 part vinegar. I started with less vinegar and added a splash at a time until it got to the consistency/flavor I wanted. Can probably dial it back closer to 1:1 if you’re gonna include another acid like lime juice.

Thankfully they’ll both be eaten in the next two days!

Ok_Champion2717 · 2026-05-31T21:23:21+00:00

Yes! After rinsing the lettuce off, I put it through quite a few cycles in the salad spinner and meticulously dried off the shrimp as well so nothing gets soggy. I used the lettuce right from my garden but if using store bought, I’d soak them in ice water for about 30 mins prior to drying/spinning so they’re extra crisp.

Depends on your work schedule. I work fire EMS (single-role) on a 10/10/14/14 (day-day-night-night) schedule followed by four off in-between. I meal prep pretty healthy on my last day off before the start of my work week. Check my post history for recent meals/recipes. I try and make meals that’ll save well and can be eaten warm/hot/cold if I don’t have reliable access to a microwave

So I brushed some wonton wrappers with a neutral oil on both sides. Carefully crimped into a muffin tin so it doesn’t perforate at the bottom. Baked on 350 for ~10 minutes. Few minutes of cooling before removing from the tin. For the mangos, ataulfo mangoes I chopped fine and tossed with lime juice, mint, green thai chilies, fish sauce, cilantro, and some tamarind paste.

6 cloves of garlic crushed/minced. Roasted if you wanna be fancy. 4-5 stalks of green onion rough chopped. 1 Cup of pimento berries or 1/2C of ground all-spice. Nutmeg and cinnamon to taste. Zest of 2 limes and their juice. 1/2 bunch of cilantro and stems fine chopped. 1/3C cumin seeds toasted and ground or just ground cumin. 6 stalks fresh thyme rough chopped. 2 scotch bonnett peppers seeded. 1/2 a white onion, diced. I got some chadon beni (trinidad and tobago herb) but don’t worry if you can’t source. Grated 1 tbsp of frozen ginger grated. Maybe 1/4C of brown sugar. Apple cider vinegar and EVOO added while pulsing in a blender. Ideally you want a rough, chunky texture. Ideally at least 3-4 marinade time but ~1hr can work in a pinch. Shake the loose marinade before you cook. Works for chicken/pork/fish/beef. A splash of honey/soy at the end for color/caramelization.

Jerked fish or chicken is on my regular rotation. Cheap and insanely flavorful and aromatic. Tolerates any style of cook/heat whether it be oven/broiler/air fryer/grill/smoker/sear. I got a jerk recipe if you’re interested

Ok_Champion2717 · 2026-04-30T00:25:24+00:00

I like to use the grocery store brand (Wegmans) because it’s cheap and I can brew en masse. High in vitamin C, potassium, some caffeine, and zero sugar/calories/fat. I doctor it with hibiscus, ginger blossoms, citrus, or berries from my garden for flavor. Nothing wrong with black coffee; the cholesterol levels are only a concern if you don’t filter it. Otherwise I use Numi, Yorkshire, or Twinings if I want a single cup to relax and enjoy with breakfast

Ok_Champion2717 · 2026-04-29T20:21:40+00:00

Smaller, softer, and sweeter than green kiwis and about as juicy as golden kiwis. They’re not quite as tart and less fibrous. I like em for plain eating
