I'm trying a Wendy's knock-off chili recipe for the Titans game tomorrow. I subscribe to this guy's website. He puts out some pretty good stuff. https://topsecretrecipes.com/
Some of the leftover turkey stashed in my deep freeze became turkey fried rice, with brown rice. Hardly traditional but surprisingly good.
Chili is fun to make but the best is made using coarsely ground beef. Alton Brown grinds up beef chuck (80% lean, 20% fat). I used to buy coarse ground chili beef at the grocery store but now they quit selling it. Gonna have to get a sausage making kit from Kitchen Aid so I can coarse grind meat and make sausage..
We're supposed to get a significant (Izzie) snowstorm here, so I made a big batch of lasagna. Just may be my best effort ever....
Berkeley Bowl market out of fresh squeezed orange juice. Got a bunch of Valencia oranges and started squeezing. Good thing I have strong hands.
In and of themselves, the individual components of lasagna are not all that unhealthy. Sure, combined in a jumbled mess paints a different story.
I heard cardiologists from OHSU give a talk to us at the now defunct Metro Fitness YMCA about spaghetti dinners and cardiovascular disease and they said that at that time (the late 70s) studies had shown that a spaghetti was a heart friendly dinner. Their studies used monkeys that were fed different diets and atherosclerosis in monkeys that had autopsies. These plaque clogged arteries were significantly improved by lots of aerobic exercise.
