Roast chicken with (I think) kumara and brocolli:

Recently I've been looking at traditional french cooking and a lot of stock/sauce making. I made a huge batch of sauce espagnole and froze it to make demi glace and other sauces, I won't bother taking a picture as brown liquid isn't particularly exciting.

EDIT: Oh also tonights dinner was fried basa (which the internet tells me is catfish) with coriander and lemon on sauteed silverbeet and garlic. Last night was tofu burgers which ended up being really tasty.
Tofu burger pro tip: curry powder, and lots of it. Didn't take pictures of either of those though because I'm silly.

Look, calling all Dada's: just WHAT can you do with rice? I was thinking how rice pudding (eg Risella) are damn good (okay so they put all that extra shit in stuff like that but it makes sense that u shuld be able to make good stuff with basic ingredients) and I got curious, like BASICALLY you COULD make it within "paleo frame" (several sw starts violently gagging) but you just have to make sure the rice is indeed peeled & cleaned and that there are no stains of other grains in it (why the heck make rice porridge if youre gonna write MIGHT INCLUDE STAINS OF X GRAINS huh??? its not rice!! celiacs burst into flames etc)... and then I thought that shit, japanese/eastern/chinese whoever should know what kinda stuff you can do from rice...! DADA should know what to do with rice...!

So like what CAN you do with rice to make wonders with it?? does dada or anyone know?? dada meticulously spends the next two posts about how to make glue from rice...

Look at Indian cooking (Biryani) and Middle Eastern cooking (Polow is the Persian one, but they're mostly spelt similar - pulao, polo, paolo etc).

Couple of favourites:

(You do not need to splurge on saffron, but it is pretty and smells nice)

Rice is awesome.

A thread filled with delicious shit I can't eat = torture.

Like I may just fuck it and order some bento boxes from OBENTO (a really nice restaurant in Bristol), but it'll have to be at a time when I can devote like a week to just recovering.

And yet I can stuff myself with chicken skin and processed meat absolutely no problem? FUCKING CRUEL TRICKS LIFE

Skin is one of the best parts of the chicken. Try wrapping some processed meat in chicken skin and grilling it till it's crunchy, maybe?

haha this is true.

short answer: basically anything. Anything that takes the slightest effort to digest. Currently ok food is: meats and sweets, with a small amount of non-granary/wheat heavy baked goods

It would seem that food that takes no effort to digest would be bad for a diet. In that you are missing out on burning the number of calories it requires to go through the process of digestion.

You should just go with foods that are literally impossible to digest. That way you only have to eat once, and then you have no room left in your stomach so you are always full. If the food still doesn't digest by the time you reach your target weight, you could probably have it removed surgically so you can start eating again.

Haha dude but my target weight is three stone heavier than my current weight.

Every calorie I burn is ONE STEP CLOSER TO DIELACKOFENERGY lol! The impossibletodigest plan would make me weigh even less

Although admittedly my totally-a-photo-of-me avatar does belie the fact that I'm 7.5 stone XD

Wow, that one genuinely surprised me.

I never heard of a diet that restricted what you are allowed to eat in order to GAIN weight. I just assumed the ability to gain weight was something anybody could accomplish with enough willpower and a diet of literally no-holds-barred with extra helpings of dessert after every meal.

Like if you try to go off your diet and eat the wrong kind of grain or whatever, do you just immediately drop a half a stone and then have to go back to square one?

Lol dude it isn't a DIET for the purpose of weight. I have a digestive condition that means I literally cannot digest certain things. If I eat them, I get intense pain and am pretty much out of action for a while (I was hospitalised last time I ate some pasta for example). Plus the foods I CAN eat I don't actually absorb the majority of.

Summarised: my innards are fuckef.

That is incredibly sad. The fact you are even visiting this topic is a true testament to your bravery in the face of overwhelming adversity.

My heart is with you, but especially my gut. My gut is with you. You can still eat frozen custard right? (It's 50x better than ice-cream, so if I was unfortunate enough to be on the verge of death by de-calorization, that would be the first place I would go in pursuit of some fat-laden wiggle room)
