  • One if my favorite things about making pizza is that the next day I always have a load to sauce left.
    Will be spaghetti night.  Two days of lardo food but the taste .....!

  • That is anything of fricking beauty.

    Out the door early, a 5 mile run, back in, showered, fed the 6 year old and just made a nice breakfast burrito (minus the roll ...looks more like a quesadilla...) - eggs, peppers, olives, cheese, salsa, basil.  

    This is the way to start a Saturday morning, for me, but now I don't have a glorious smoked pork dinner to look forward to!

    Man, that looks great. It's pics like that that makes it hard for me to stick to intermittent fasting. Now I'm hungry.

    I generally stick to that as well.  Usually one time per week I will eat outside of the 8 hr window and have breakfast.  This week it was 2x but my body was yelling at me this morning so I decided to feed it.

    Yeah, I try to stay on plan 6 days a week as well and give myself an out at least one day, but that one day is typically Sunday so I'm holding out for Father's Day.

    Damn that looks excellent. I need a breakfast burrito big time. The 5 mile run sounds excellent too but it’s gonna have to wait today. A night of pre Father’s Day cocktails got the best of me. 😂
  • I did not drink last night so I could run early and feel good.  The hot weather and humidity can make something simple seem grueling.  
    Tomorrow is a "cross" day on schedule so I can just swim or walk or something.  Easy to do after a night of martinis, so I can do that tonight.

    What is for dinner....wish I had a pork butt smoking.  (@porchsitter what piece of pork are you doing?)

    I learned something new today: I've never actually eaten Wasabi.
    Apparently most Japanese restaurants (even in Japan), don't serve the real thing. They use horseradish mixed with mustard and food coloring. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fake-wasabi-horseradish_n_561bd666e4b0082030a33959

    Long story short. My fish guy bought three Blue Fin Tuna down in Cork off a Spanish boat. He also advertised that for the first time ever, he had real Wasbabi. So I lined up early this morning for a nice cut of Chutoro and Japanese wasabi. This little piece I'm holding cost me 17 bucks! Hopefully it's worth it.

  • Yeah, real wasabi is a game changer.  If that shit doesn't get freshly grated you have not have the real deal.
    You are going to love it.
    I enjoy it without anything else, even.
    Blissful.

    Is it as spicy as the stuff we get at a sushi joint? Same flavor?

    I got up earlier than usual to run as well. That’s great you did five miles. That was my goal as well. But the heat got to me at 4.5 miles and I stopped. Plus I got to the point where the sweat was really burning my eyes. If the gym was open it would have been a treadmill day. Your breakfast burrito looks delicious. Nice reward for a good run.

    I dont feel it is very spicy but the taste/flavor is much better, imo.

    I'm glad that the back end of this training schedule will be in the fall/winter when it is cold out.  Can't be running 15-20 miles in this heat...the reward for that is collapsing.  ;)

    Are you training for a marathon? 15-20 miles. I can’t even imagine.

    You got a butt going?? Make sure you show off the finished product! 
    I'm going to smoke more pork jowl burnt ends tomorrow.

    With some bad food?

    Nope. I just don't run unless something drastic is going on. Good on you for enjoying a run. 

    I guess if I were to run from food, it would be shellfish since it could kill me.

    Yep! 11 hours in and still have 17 degrees to go. Luckily, I threw some chicken thighs on at hour 4. Those came out great. Hoping for the same with the butt.

    We did an overnighter on my buddies 36ft Grady White, Coimbra wreck..... sharking at night, caught n released all blue sharks (looking for makos/ threshers) no luck.... started a troll at 4:15am.... ten minutes later we were on them...... bunch of whales, prob saw 1000 dolphin, sea turtles and blue fin galore...... we didn’t do any tuna sashimi this time... but caught fluke inshore and made sashimi salad( fantastic)

    it was a great trip
  • PorchsitterPorchsitter Posts: 1,069


    So 12 straight hours of sitting outside in the hot sun in front of a controlled fire inside a metal box yielded this magnificent dinner (and a few more in the near future).

  • Understand.  24 hour trips are most I've done and it messes with you.
