Some food things:
Microwave potatoes. Take a potato, rinse it off, nuke it for 5 minutes.
Cut it apart, add a ton of butter and cheese and jalapeños. It’s really good.
Take the traeger pill. Brisky: salt and pepper (more pepper than you think, but also more salt than you think). In the smoker at 225 until it hits like 170F internal. Wrap in pink butcher paper, keep going until 203F internal. DO NOT take it out before this. Keep it in the butcher paper and either put it in the oven on warm, or into a cooler for 4 hours AT LEAST. The second part, referred to as a "rest", is required. People skip this step, and their brisket sucks as a result. You HAVE to rest it just like you have to actually cook it. Also: trim it if you are a commercial smokehouse and making sausage, or trim it if you really want to dial in the texture profile of every bite or make sure that customers are getting a consistent bark/fat/meat ratio. If you are a backyard BBQist, then it doesn't really matter if you mess up the trim. Trimming is fine, but do not sweat the trim.
Delight your friends and horrify your cardiologist.
Picanha: sous vide it at 129F overnight. Cut off steaks and fry them and eat them with cut up fresh jalapeños (the hotter the better) and more salt than you think. Don’t tell anybody because Picanha used to be cheap and it’s going up in price as it gets more popular.
Raw Milk: I hate to admit this but it tastes better. A LOT better. I hate admitting this because as a backyard chicken keeper, I also have to admit that store bought eggs are better than backyard eggs, and taste absolutely no different and I would challenge anybody to prove me wrong on this.
That potato recipe sounds like some fat fuck shit, but eh, I can get behind the rest.
On the topic of food. Getting an air fryer and a rice cooker has been a game-changer for me.
I cooked up a whole seabream, and some jasmine rice in a grand total of 15 minutes end to end. I drizzled some "Prik Nam Pla (I added a small amount of sugar in addition to what the recipe says)" over the rice and fish, and it was excellent. I could easily see people paying a bunch of money at a Thai restaurant for a similar-tasting meal. The fish was perfectly cooked with potato chip esque crispy skin and moist flesh.
That's a good thing. Fat people don't get fat by eating food that tastes bad.
