i use a rice cooker ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

that said, made some chicken fajitas from scratch (besides the tortillas) tonight. I feel I mighta gone a bit too heavy on the lime juice but otherwise good.

[crazysheep]

You still have to get the right proportion of rice and water with rice cookers, or you risk having overly soggy rice or burnt rice..

[Blargityblarg]

they come with handy-dandy rice measuring cups and water level markings on the side of the rice bowl so y'know

[crazysheep]

oops

Made a kind of odd pseudo Hawaiian sweet and sour chop suey ish thing for supper. Chicken and an assortment of light vegetables (including pineapple) stir-fried with a reasonable chunk of ginger and chili. Came out nicely firey - not uncomfortably hot, but strong. It's also a success in my ventures to concoct a good sweet and sour sauce that doesn't taste hideously sweet, sour or bland.

I have found my favorite calorie light food (ok calorie light for how long it fills me up(I´ve been on a health kick sorta)).

- 1-2 red potato(es) [mashed]
- 1/2 handful shredded cheese
- 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream
mix that all up and bam! I have ate that about four days out of the week and it keeps me full for a long time and its only around 300 calories depending on how much I make.
*not for those of refined tastes*

That, er... that is literally almost pure carbs and fat.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Yes but its only 300 calories, and I don´t have to eat for hours afterward whereas lets say something 50/50 protein and carbs (sandwich for instance) would be around the same amount of calories but I will be starving an hour or two later and I´ll break and eat more. With this I don´t have to eat as much to feel just as full


also potato diet is a real and very very successful thing and that is literally straight carbs.

No...?
Potatoes only just can't supply all your nutrition. They just can't.

They're actually surprisingly nutricious. My parents apparently lived off of a diet of potatoes and peas for quite a while because my one sister had pretty bad allergies as a kid.

The Irish diet was potatoes and dairy for a long time.* If you have a source of proteins (peas, dairy) next to it, and eat them with the skin which contains a bunch of micronutrient, they're fine.



*Was a lot more healthy than the potato-less diet they switched to later.

[GiglameshDespair]

I'm not saying potatoes are bad for you. I'm saying a pure potato diet can't provide you will all the nutrition you need.

Then it's not pure potatoes, and thus irrelevant.

But neither is what Cryxis was eating, or what anyone was proposing.

[penguinofhonor]

A potato diet that is "literally straight carbs" as Cryxis described sounds like that to me. The first search result for it describes eating nothing but potatoes for 3-5 days, and promises rapid weight loss (over a pound a day) combined with miraculously alleviating other minor bodily issues.
