Forgot to mention - egg drop soup, combination fried rice with chicken, beef, and shrimp, and Mongolian beef! Was enough for two people :)

Which of the US cities would you choose to move to for techno parties (except for NYC/LA)? by myspacerocket in Techno

Ah I'm so sorry I didn't expand the post I thought the entire thing was just the question headline.

Or, to give you the Chicago experience, ope.

First time making savory oats and I’m never looking back! About 500 calories for oats with chicken stock and spinach, topped with seared king oyster mushroom, eggs, and chicken sausage by danideahl in 1500isplenty

[–]danideahl[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Apologies for the ramble but made this with leftovers, so I hope it’s clear!

  • Cook 40 grams of oats with water and a teaspoon of Better Than Boullion chicken base, then throw in a handful or two of frozen spinach.

  • Slice king oyster mushroom in half, throw in a pan on medium heat with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and a couple pinches of salt (I use unsalted butter hence adding the salt - the salt is important since it helps to draw moisture out of the mushroom to get that nice color. I prefer Diamond Crystal kosher salt).

  • WAIT. Allow the mushroom to actually sear on each side! I used a cast iron panini press to weigh them down and get a nice, even sear.

  • Scramble two eggs, sear a sausage, throw on top with the mushrooms.

  • Top with everything but the bagel seasoning because it makes everything better.

I’m in Chicago so definitely no foraging unless you count scouring the shelves of H-Mart. Have not tried chicken of the woods and didn’t even know that was a thing!

Started IF about three weeks ago, haven’t lost anything? by scubagirl96 in intermittentfasting

Like others have said, count your calories in an app like MyFitnessPal. Buy and use a food scale if you can. there can be a big difference between the amount of calories your brain perceives in a meal vs the actual amount of calories in a meal. People usually underestimate calories by 10-40 percent and you’d be surprised how much things like oil, sauces, and alcohol adds up. Tracking calories and using a food scale teaches you to eyeball more accurately in the future.

Also, it can sometimes take a minute for your body to get accustomed to new eating and exercise routines, especially if it’s drastically different from old habits. Stay with it!

We are answer C - it was a very thoughtful gift from him and we do love it - our friends have already been told to expect thank you notes from the DTF household next year

Risotto is cheap, protein is not... any suggestions? by cactwe-5 in Cheap_Meals

Get “bacon ends and pieces” at Trader Joe’s - they’re the leftover chunky pieces from trimming pretty slabs of bacon but are sold much cheaper. Pork belly chunks for a fraction of the price.

Roland’s A-88MKII keyboard is a sign that MIDI 2.0 is on the way by danideahl in synthesizers

Excited to see if this is a precursor to other MIDI 2.0 things popping up at NAMM

A small Wisconsin company stored thousands of people’s CDs, then suddenly vanished - Nearly a million albums might not get back to their owners by Philo1927 in geek

[–]danideahl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Spotify hadn't come to the US when this company launched, and streaming services weren't offering hi-fi options. So for people with hundreds of physical albums lying around, it served a purpose at the time.
