You gotta buy "air chilled" chicken. Water chilled chicken absorbs lots of extra water and shrinks like that.

Beans, rice, lentils, oat meal, almonds, some frozen mixed veggies, and some soy nuggets; that's basically all I eat anymore due to the rising costs of food. And portion control as well because hot damn are costs flying up.

It's dirt cheap and filling as hell, but damn do I miss going out to eat every weekend with the guys. We only go out once a month now and this last meet up we brought up not going out to eat but doing potlucks instead (which I'm down for for sure).

First I reduced quality, next I reduced variety, then I reduced quantity. Not sure what to do now. As Jurgis from The Jungle would say, I guess “I will work harder.”

I also eat veg when I go to that sketchy Indian take out place.

Okay but does that matter? I recently saw a video from Veratasium about teflon and there they mentioned that teflon is too large to be absorbed by the body, it just comes out on the other end. It's the smaller compounds used for producing teflon that are poisoning our water, bodies, and everything else with PFAS. Companies just dumping this poison into our water supply. If this is false I'm open to learn ofc.

The teflon is fine, you could eat it even, its the precursor chemicals which are harmful and the teflon will only break back down into those if you fuck up and heat the pan to nearly glowing.

What's wrong with teflon?

With plastic tongs lol

I am on steel now. It's all that shitty cast iron promised to be. Heat and wait for the Leidenfrost.

Not very Asian of you.

I have been weirdly picky about meat my entire life. It took until recently to realize it was a 'tism thing.

Maybe just don’t eat meat then instead of sacrificing a living creature and then throwing most of it away.
