Tobbe Posted January 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Tuesday Jan 8 Food Log Breakfast - 08:50 Kitchari Lunch - 15:45 Kitchari Later lunch than I wanted, but I had been running errands all day... And smaller bowl than I wanted too! But it was all that was left. Going to cook a new batch for dinner. Dinner - 19:00 Kitchari 1.5 bowls, and closer to my lunch meal than usual, but as I said, didn't have as much for lunch as I would have wanted. Had broccoli in this batch. Not a bad choice! Perhaps mainly because it was a bit of a change in taste and texture Evening food - 22:10 Kitchari Was even more hungry after dinner, so I had a small bowl of kitchari in front of TV. My wife again went for the sweet stuff. Yesterday wasn't too bad, she had sweets I don't like too much. But tonight she had cinnamon buns and gingerbread cookies. I'm generally not a super fan of cinnamon buns. But the smell in the kitchen when she thawed those in the microwave oven was so nice! Really made me want to have some. And as you probably know by now, I'm a sucker for gingerbread cookies And it's not even that I didn't enjoy my bowl of kitchari, I still find it tasty. And if my wife hadn't gotten the sweets out I wouldn't even have thought about having that. But smelling the scent of the cinnamon buns, hearing the crunch as she bit down on the cookies. Man, it really made me want to have some sweets too I wouldn't ever want to live without her, but in cases like this, living alone would have been so much easier 1 Quote Challenge 21 - Tobbe Goes Running in the Dark | Challenge 20 - Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF | Challenge 19 - Tobbe has Nutrition and Fitness Goals | Challenge 18 - Tobbe is like Jace | Challenge 17 - Tobbe Keeps a Journal | Challenge 16 - Tobbe Builds an E-commerce Site | Challenge 15 - Tobbe and the Journey | Challenge 14 - Tobbe Goes to Sleep | Challenge 13 - Tobbe Kills Zombies | PvP - DailyDare NerdFitness Edition | Challenge 12 - Tobbe tries not to do all the things | Challenge 11 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi in South East Asia | Challenge 10 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi | Challenge 9 - Tobbe Gets Productive | PVP - The Last Darebender | Challenge 8 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 2) | Challenge 7 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 1) | Challenge 6 - Tobbe becomes a Recovery Warrior | Challenge 5 - Tobbe fights the dinosaur | Challenge 4 - Tobbe catches up and pleases his wife | PVP - Rise above the pull-up bar | Challenge 3 - Tobbe eats like a ... | Mini challenge - Students gonna ranger | Challenge 2 - The Necessities | Challenge 1 - Let's get this challenge thing going | The Intuitive Eating Support Group | TODO 2019 PvP | Battle Log (>>) Link to comment
Tobbe Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Wednesday Jan 9 Food Log Breakfast - 09:15 Kitchari Lunch - 15:00 Kitchari Thanks to @Arkania I realized that I had forgotten to add cilantro to my kitchari. Didn't have any fresh cilantro, so I used all the frozen we had (not enough) and dried cilantro as well. Nothing even comes close as tasting as good as the fresh stuff, and to be honest, the dried cilantro is pretty horrible in comparison. But I'm the only one in the family who likes it, and I can never finish the fresh cilantro before it goes bad. So I very rarely buy it.

Tobbe Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Thursday Jan 10 Food Log Breakfast - 10:40 Kitchari Lunch - 14:50 Kitchari My recipe called for ½ inch fresh ginger. Some other recipes call for up towards 2 inches of ginger. So to this bowl I added some dried ginger, just to see how it would have tasted with a bit more ginger. It was alright. But I might have overdone it a little bit It tasted almost only of ginger But a little bit more than ½ an inch wouldn't have hurt. This was the last bowl of kitchari. Absolutely not tired of it yet Tiny snack - 17:15 Three frozen raspberries Dinner - 18:10 Thai meatballs, peanut sauce, rice noodles, pak choi salad with carrots and sugar snap peas We had friends over, and they brought food that they cooked here at our place. This is what they made, and it was delicious! Thanks friends Dessert - 19:20 A cup of tea and a blood orange Finally tea again! Best part of going off the kitchari cleanse/detox/reset/whatever My wife and our friends had chocolate cake with raspberries and whipped cream, but I wanted something a bit more healthy. Evening snack - 22:30 Pear/vanilla protein cake with raspberries and fresh pear. My wife had more of the chocolate cake etc, and I wanted ice cream, cinnamon buns, gingerbread cookies, whipped cream, berries, banana... But I got to my senses and had a protein microwave cake instead with some fruit. Now that I had been good for so long with my mono-diet I didn't want to go all out on the sweets the very same night I stopped with the kitchari 1 Quote Challenge 21 - Tobbe Goes Running in the Dark | Challenge 20 - Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF | Challenge 19 - Tobbe has Nutrition and Fitness Goals | Challenge 18 - Tobbe is like Jace | Challenge 17 - Tobbe Keeps a Journal | Challenge 16 - Tobbe Builds an E-commerce Site | Challenge 15 - Tobbe and the Journey | Challenge 14 - Tobbe Goes to Sleep | Challenge 13 - Tobbe Kills Zombies | PvP - DailyDare NerdFitness Edition | Challenge 12 - Tobbe tries not to do all the things | Challenge 11 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi in South East Asia | Challenge 10 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi | Challenge 9 - Tobbe Gets Productive | PVP - The Last Darebender | Challenge 8 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 2) | Challenge 7 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 1) | Challenge 6 - Tobbe becomes a Recovery Warrior | Challenge 5 - Tobbe fights the dinosaur | Challenge 4 - Tobbe catches up and pleases his wife | PVP - Rise above the pull-up bar | Challenge 3 - Tobbe eats like a ... | Mini challenge - Students gonna ranger | Challenge 2 - The Necessities | Challenge 1 - Let's get this challenge thing going | The Intuitive Eating Support Group | TODO 2019 PvP | Battle Log (>>) Link to comment

If *cough*someone*cough* didn't constantly tempt me with eating sweets things right next to me I don't think I would think about the sweets at all.

Yes. I'm actually thinking of making it again tonight. We'll see. Definitely a good snack option if/when I feel like something protein heavy.

I would have preferred a more "proper" meal with meat/chicken/fish and vegetables. But this is what was served, so that's what I ate. And I can't really remember anymore, but I think I had another serving with more pancakes. Dinner - 16:30 Chicken and veggies in cream sauce, mixed salad, rice and red quinoa, blanched broccoli with melted butter We didn't plan to stick around for dinner at first, but mom had already prepared this, so we ended up staying for dinner as well. It was very tasty Evening sweets - 23:00 Gingerbread snaps with blue cheese, small cup of mulled wine.

And to be honest I really struggle to eat with the chop sticks I need the practice! I know I'm holding them wrong, but whenever I try to hold them the right way the lower one just keeps slipping off of my ring finger So what I do is keep it on my middle finger, but that leaves just my thumb and pointer finger for the top chop stick, so I don't get as much control as I would like... Dinner - 19:00 Saffron chicken pie and a side salad. I don't like eating pie. I mean, I love the taste, but it doesn't fill me up as much as I would like for the amount of calories that's in it. Kind of like pizza I guess. Evening sweets - 21:45 Gingerbread cookies with blue cheese.

Tobbe Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Wednesday Jan 16 Food Log Breakfast - 09:45 Quark, kefir, berries and nuts Lunch - 13:20 Semla Easily top 3 of the best sweet treats I know! Read more further down Snack - 16:00 Gingerbread cookies Dinner - 18:50 Tiny serving of leek and potato soup Got to save room for another semla later in the evening, after the kids have gone to bed Evening sweets - 22:00 Semla So, so good! Miscellaneous So, about the Semla. A friend of my wife's was coming over, and offered to pick up a semla in a bakery on the way here. But both my wife and I are very picky when it comes to semla. The ones you buy always disappoint. So instead, my wife baked her own for us! A semla is a wheat bun made with a yeast dough that is flavored with cardamon. You then cut off the top of the bun and, using a spoon or a fork, you remove some of the bun in the bottom, creating a hole that is filled with almond paste mixed with some milk and the bun you removed. On top of that you put whipped cream. And then the cut off top. Finally the bun is dusted with confectioners sugar. Above you see what a semla looks like when cut in half. Normally when you eat a semla you take the lid off, scoop up some of the cream with the lid, and eat that first. Then you eat the rest of the bun with the almond paste mixture and the whipped cream. But then you get only bun + cream when you eat the lid. So what we like to do, and that you can see if you look closely enough, is to put some of the almond paste mixture on the underside of the lid of the bun. That way you get the full semla flavor experience also when eating the lid We also like to flavor our whipped cream with some sugar and vanilla. And the almond paste should be home made, with parts of it made with roasted almonds. It's also important not to make it too smooth. We like it when you get a little bit of crunch of bigger pieces of almonds (but not too big!). It's also important to have some bitter almond flavor in the paste. The bun itself should not be too fluffy. When you buy a semla at a bakery they usually get this part right, but when you buy just the buns in a grocery store, and fill them yourself they are always too fluffy. On the other hand, when you buy a semla at a bakery there's a big risk that the bun is too dry, because they make all the semlor early in the morning, and then they sit out all day before you buy it... And they often cheat with the almond paste and add apricot kernels because that's cheaper than almonds. But it also doesn't taste as good! And the cream is usually whipped too stiff, and overly sweetened. Lot's of things that can, and will, go wrong when buying semlor instead of making them on your own. That's why we take the time to do them ourselves! Freshly baked semla buns Blanching almonds for the almond paste Almond paste. Made parts with blanched ground almonds, and parts finely chopped roasted almonds with the skin still on them. Mixed with sugar and a tiny bit of water. Before filling the semla you mix the almond paste with the bun that you have removed to make room for the filling, and some milk to get a creamy consistency 1 Quote Challenge 21 - Tobbe Goes Running in the Dark | Challenge 20 - Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF | Challenge 19 - Tobbe has Nutrition and Fitness Goals | Challenge 18 - Tobbe is like Jace | Challenge 17 - Tobbe Keeps a Journal | Challenge 16 - Tobbe Builds an E-commerce Site | Challenge 15 - Tobbe and the Journey | Challenge 14 - Tobbe Goes to Sleep | Challenge 13 - Tobbe Kills Zombies | PvP - DailyDare NerdFitness Edition | Challenge 12 - Tobbe tries not to do all the things | Challenge 11 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi in South East Asia | Challenge 10 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi | Challenge 9 - Tobbe Gets Productive | PVP - The Last Darebender | Challenge 8 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 2) | Challenge 7 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 1) | Challenge 6 - Tobbe becomes a Recovery Warrior | Challenge 5 - Tobbe fights the dinosaur | Challenge 4 - Tobbe catches up and pleases his wife | PVP - Rise above the pull-up bar | Challenge 3 - Tobbe eats like a ... | Mini challenge - Students gonna ranger | Challenge 2 - The Necessities | Challenge 1 - Let's get this challenge thing going | The Intuitive Eating Support Group | TODO 2019 PvP | Battle Log (>>) Link to comment
Jett Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Ooh, semla kind of sounds like a Swedish version of a cream puff. But nicer, because it's impossible to eat cream puffs without making a mess, and I always feel like they're missing something, flavor-wise. Maybe it's almond paste. 3 hours ago, Tobbe said: And they often cheat with the almond paste and add apricot kernels because that's cheaper than almonds. Apricot kernels? With the super high cyanide content?! I would definitely make my own semla, too... Quote Current Challenge | Daily Log Link to comment
Mad Hatter Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm so impressed you're baking your own semlor! I'm not a massive fan, but I could be convinced by those for sure. 21 hours ago, Jett said: Apricot kernels? With the super high cyanide content?! I would definitely make my own semla, too...

I'm not a massive fan, but I could be convinced by those for sure. I leave the yeast baking to my wife, but I gladly do everything else. I don't mind spending an hour or two baking semlor, they're so good they're worth it! Just come here, and ask for them, and we'll make you one (or however many you want ). I've looked up a new recipe for the buns that I think will be even better. Can't wait to get an opportunity to try it! (Still have two un-filled buns in the freezer from the first batch that we need to eat first.)

Tobbe Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Thursday Jan 17 Food Log Breakfast Nope Lunch - 11:00 Salad with three boiled eggs Dinner - 17:45 Post-workout smoothie Same recipe as last time, but this day I made it in our food processor instead of in the blender. In the food processor it gets an even thicker consistency. Even more like soft serve ice cream than in the blender. But it also doesn't get as smooth. There are still noticeable pieces of both oats, ice and frozen banana. Only had these two things to eat today. Was still feeling a bit bad about all the semlor I ate the day before, so I compensated by eating less today...

Jean Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Damn! I had taken kind of a backseat only to check on your log today and... blast you for making me hungry! Congrats on the challenge thing. Hope the delicious looking food is treating you well and that your family is doing well. 1 Quote Legally bound to hug people in need.
