I can’t imagine eating less than 10% fat yogurt 
(They are the things tend to go on sale here, it seems…? But I never really focused on mostly water items. Greek yogurt is actually something. More sugar than protein so inferior thing but still not some mostly pointless sugary water to me as all the other yogurts.) Actually, I am no yogurt gal (I only bought a tiny kefir in every 1-5 years since ages. I love sour even if it’s a watery sugary little nothing), I am into sour cream but that’s too fatty for me (okay, I just eat less of it) and the last one (and my old fav!) wasn’t creamy enough, it was too dense… I have a new fav now, the one that is the same brand as the milk that resembles the best raw home milk I ever drank (not quite that, obviously but close. HOW it doesn’t have UHT flavor I have no idea). Not like I usually drink milk, I mean, we buy milk once a month, Alvaro uses most and I try and nope. But the brand is nice and I love the sour cream.
But now I have greek yogurt and I have no idea what I will do with it. It’s super sour, great for my not sour enough dry quark but the latter will run out earlier… I just don’t fancy it as a dessert, the yogurt, I mean. What do people do with yogurt I wonder… Maybe I can put it on scrambled eggs like sour cream… Or into soups or IDK.
I made the “Stefánia” almost-frikadeller! With mixed results. Alvaro loved it. I was more critical. But it’s basically pretty good 
It was horribly unsalted to me (perfect for Alv). It’s annoying, I need to go back to normal somehow, clearly with eating more salt. Just salt my food 3 times don’t seem to cut it. The food becomes fine but I will dislike the next normally salted dish again. And it’s a very bad feeling to take a bit and it lacks a lot of salt so it’s inedible…
It was a tad much work, I will just mix the eggs in next time. Yeah, it’s prettier but I don’t need that and it breaks apart and the bites aren’t uniform. And putting the sticky meat stuff around the 5 eggs took time. Not a big deal but it’s too much if I don’t gain anything from it. But I wanted to do it properly the first time so it’s fine for now.
I think it needs way more paprika even though I used what all recipes said. It’s not red enough. Maybe this dish usually isn’t but I started this as a big frikadeller and I put more into my frikadellers… And no garlic while I remembered Mom always made this really garlick-y and I liked that… So nostalgically I felt it a tiny fail. While Alvaro enjoyed his. Sigh. But it’s good, sure just these old memories interfered. Traditionally it has an onion in it too but I really don’t think it’s important. I put spices into it and they contained a tiny onion powder anyway…
And I just don’t understand why the original recipe and the normal Hungarian frikadeller recipe use buns soaked in milk. It doesn’t do it any better. Maybe a wee bit cheaper but I am not even sure about that… Very unnecessary but I know that since ages.
Mine just had meat, eggs, spices and it was like the original. Minus the garlic. Oh the traditional has breadcrumbs outside…? No idea why. It gets roasted just fine, it’s meat. I don’t think Mom used that. Mom actually had many recipes cooler than the common one. She made super eggy, super good pancakes, I just went a bit further with skipping the flour and milk altogether. I saw zillion pancakes with almost no eggs in it. It’s an important ingredient, yes but it’s used extremely sparingly. People make many pancakes from 1 egg. Mom probably made a few, or that was me after I made them a bit eggier as a teen…? Now I am at 1.25 but these are all very very thin pancakes.
Why am I talking about pancakes? It’s possible I miss them as I kept eating them sweet lately and it was better to just stop. So I haven’t eaten pancakes since too long. I liked them with head cheese but I decided the head cheeses I can buy aren’t good enough, I don’t like cheesy ones, I got bored with sour cream savory ones so my pancakes started to trigger xylitol (we don’t have anything else) and I resist. So no pancakes for me except on emergency off days when I either eat that or something totally carby or starve because eggs and meat are impossible to eat. It seems I can;'t get bored of them now, not even one group let alone two so I am pretty safe at the moment. But I miss my pancakes a little, maybe. But if I don’t NEED them, it’s not justified to eat them.
Did I say it was a very fatty pork chuck? It was and some fat escaped the loaf. I will cut off the fat next time and use it for scrambled eggs or something. I don’t think thigh is fatty enough… But maybe it would work, filled with fatty dry sausage… That’s totally a thing here, not for this dish but for various smoked meat products. Smoked sausage filled smoked pork. As if the chuck fattiness wouldn’t be enough but it is not for everyone and sausage is a super beloved item. I guess you don’t have everything in sausage flavor there, it’s a pork country thing…? Cheese spread with sausage, cheese with sausage, we have them all. If something that comes in many savory flavors doesn’t have sausage flavor, it should have paprika flavor at least. It may be bacon flavor for you there… Or brisket flavor, I got such chips from Australia… We have some bacon flavored stuff but those are probably Western ones… I like bacon flavor too. Artificial bacon flavor is good. Food industry can’t do most flavors well artificially but they can do bacon. Sometimes bacon is a lie, yep.
Look at all the fat in my chuck! Perfect for a roast. Less perfect for today’s meal, apparently 
But only a bit too fatty, I needed most of it.
I lasted pretty long with my 1200 kcal OMAD dinner but when I got a tiny hunger at lunchtime, I didn’t want to wait. I had my dish to try out anyway (it’s so simple and it’s a fancy holiday thing! Mom only made it at Christmas and Easter. I liked it as it was PORK. why she almost never made pork I don’t know. maybe she strongly preferred chicken. I don’t.).
So I ate and got perfectly satiated with not the foggies idea idea how many calories It was a nice meal and probably perfect for TMAD.
Carni day #5 and everything seems right. Only tomorrow looks lowish-meat this far but I have different things (emergency tuna, for example. the salmon spread is boring now) and I will buy pork in the morning as I run out of it all. Yes, pork sounds fine. I just don’t want a big roast yet.
@Karen18, IDK why you didn’t learn yet but I think we all did the same. I even have a paper about being intelligent (I think) but it doesn’t help Okay, I learned it regarding chicken but sometimes we are just forget things or getting hopeful…
I know I am hungry after 1kg chicken so I don’t even try to use it as food if it’s alone. But turkey and pork and eggs seem to work. I need more experiments. I would gladly experiment with turkey in the near future, actually… Lovely just not as substantial. My current hypothesis is that all birds are like this to me. Well, all the normal birds here. I am curious about some red bird meat like emu… Maybe that’s different. Hungary has some emu farms… None nearby but when we visit my aunt, there is one not too far… I planned to get some emu liver last year but we need to keep it cold for many hours and we don’t have such boxes yet. Maybe this year.
IDK why your luxurious food doesn’t bother me Financial things easily trigger me lately but that’s true I basically eat what I want and I only need to modify/train my own wants a weee bit… And anyway, if I really wanted something fancy, I could eat it once. I just don’t feel it’s worth it now. And well, I have beef in my freezer. It’s already so very recklessly luxurious that I should be content for a long time (and I bought cheap organs and some of the cheapest cuts. but I like those and always wanted to try brisket!).
But I really will eat my shrimps or prawns already, maybe next week I just put the little packet away and forgot or when I saw I had something else and didn’t fancy it nearly as much as more pork… I am a pork and egg maniac I know. They seem completely impossible to bored of at the moment.
But it’s 90g shrimps or prawns (no idea about the difference, saw pics but forgot those and it’s the same to me) per person so I need to use it well… Still didn’t decide about my dish. Alvaro will put it into rice along with veggies, all fried but the rice. I will use eggs. And next time a soup.
I shouldn’t just come and chill with a full stomach, I never stop.
and power to you for doing Cross Fit. It sounds intense.
. The fage I have is 2% and 5% fat. It’s my favorite
I really only got chicken out the past couple of days or so because I have quite a bit in the freezer. I can’t resist picking up any meat that’s reduced which all my freezered chicken is ! Cheap skate me lol
