Try cold smoking it before bagging, I think the steaks are better with the touch of wood smoke.

Are roasted brussell sprouts your favorite vegetable? Just curious as I don't think I've ever seen anyone who features them in more pictures than you. (I'm a big fan of them myself; you should try air frying them--it is simply delicious.) [Reply]
They're my wife's favorite mostly. She requests them if I'm going to grill more than anything else. My air fryer is too small to try that out but I bet it gets them extra crunchy. [Reply]
So for anyone trying to make okra fries in your air fryer, use the dehydrate function, about 20 minutes, it looks like. I went over that and I've got blackened okra. Looks like I left them in too long by at least ten minutes. [Reply]

Either way, they look awesome. Wow, I love those things. [Reply]
I'm at home with a cold today. I was rooting around in the fridge today looking for some bacon, because I wanted to cut it up, fry it and cook eggs with it. Well naturally the only bacon we had was frozen. So I found some salami and decided, "fuck it, chuck it."
So I fried the salami in a touch of olive oil, cooked the eggs in it with some salt pepper and a little basil.
Surprisingly, it was good. Not as good as bacon, but surprisingly good. So hey, if you're in need of a poverty breakfast, give it a go.
Picture looks like shit, because scrambled eggs, but whatever.

I always keep a few cans of corned beef hash around for these occasions. [Reply]
Note: For anyone thinking of trying Nutri-System, mostly the food is pretty good, but a couple things to steer away from when picking your meals. the Chicken Paella dinner and the Nacho Puffs aren't very good. One tastes like what you'd imagine canned cat food tastes like, and the other tastes like crunchy styrofoam.
That's it for now. I'll post updates as they become available. [Reply]

Ha, yeah maybe your right. I like Paella, properly cooked or if I make it myself, but this stuff was just awful. And nacho puffs are supposed to be a diet version of cheese puffs, but they aren't even close. Most of the substitute foods they have are kind of close or even really close, but the nacho puffs were not, not at all. [Reply]

I guess it was bound to happen. Out of the 70-80 NS meals I've eaten at least a few were going to be trash. I guess the real surprise is that more than a dozen have actually been pretty good. [Reply]
