    So when I cook I have to listen to soul music or else the food doesn't taste right, strange huh? lol

    Curry cauliflower rice with seasoned turkey breast Oh and that roasted garlic just because. There was a salad too but that's boring. 

    Turkey seasoning is coconut oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, paprika, oregano and a dash of s&up. 
    When my CD player worked I would bake to Andrea Boccelli or Billie Holiday. Baking was better that way.

    I'm reading more and more about different cauliflower recipes. How do you make the cauliflower rice? 
    You can pulverize the cauliflower yourself but its just easier to buy it like rice already.

    in a skillet add 2 tbs of coconut oil, add rice, place on med-high heat, add curry seasoning and dash of cayenne. Stir for occasionally for about 10 minutes or until cauliflower is soft.

    I do this in a coconut curry sauce too which is really good!

    First Tuna run of the summer finally hit Ireland. Summer is over, no? Anyway, picked up my piece of belly (Toro) and I'm prepping now. Pictures of the Tuna feast to follow.

    Makes my mouth water just looking at it. I don't know what you're planning on doing with it, but I'd be savoring slices of that belly just the way it is!

    Nothing wrong with putting a sear on it!

    That part of the tuna shouldn't be seared but for the most part I'd agree.

    For those that use coconut oil over olive oil is it because it withstands higher heat, and has more fat, or is it for other reasons? I started to read about cooks using it just recently.

    It is both way over-hyped and amazingly worth the praise.
    You are talking about eating something raw and unflavoured, it's only as good as it is.
    As an Iowa guy who grew up in the country, think of it like an apple or a peach.
    You've probably had last year's cold-stored red delicious from a grocery store and they are just apples.  You've also almost surely had fresh picked Fuji or Honeycrisp from a local orchard and some of them were an eating experience that surpasses the greatest creations a world class chef can create.  Like heaven in your mouth.

    Sushi is the same way, it can be an exquisite exploration of flavor, or it can be something that isn't worth your time and is way not worthy of your hard earned money.
    In Iowa or Midwestern Pennsylvania, you are probably getting grocery store red delicious sushi unless you know someone in the trade or you fork out for a $40 meal.
