Today is my 14yoās 100 day Carniversary! Sheās really proud of herself and I think she should be! Sheās able to recognize which foods donāt work well with her body or cause weight gain/inflammation. 3 weeks ago she gave up cheese and whipping cream. She hasnāt faltered since. Sheās an inspiration to me! (Iām 11 months in, but didnāt do nearly as well as her when I first started!).

My gran used to make an amazing rabbit stew. I rarely see it for sale these days. Same for neck of mutton though I think with both if one goes to a good butcher he will get it in for you.
The idea is in my headā¦ note to self ā¦ asked butcher next time I am shopping there!

Itās like all the other stews in Hungary. paprika. I fry some onion in fat (itās a must, thatās why I donāt eat stew in November unless I relax my ways, itās totally possible, I will be elated with 2 stricter weeks but we will see, it was easier than I thought), I think the norm is making the onions transparent a bit, I prefer frying things more 
it should work without onion, I just canāt imagine a stew without it and donāt want to try this blasphemy yet. Then I add the main thing (rabbit here but it works just the same with boiled eggs cut into pieces) and lots of paprika. A little water, salt at some pointā¦ I think thatās it but actually Alvaro makes the stews. But I doubt I forgot anything. Sure, people put spices and other stuff into it but itās not needed.
Nowadays I look at recipes and I find them so excessively complicated. It was the same with liver pate. I just blend the fried liver with some more fat and thatās it. I even tolerate the lack of onion despite liver always comes with onion in my mind. They are great together, thatās sure. If I relax my ways, onion in meat dishes which are almost unimaginable without it will be the first I add back.
But experimenting is good, I simplified many recipes that wayā¦ Sometimes one omits something and it instantly gets better.

Itās dangerous popping in the food pic thread when I have roasted pork in my ovenā¦ Nope, it wasnāt so much, I already ate the bigger half of my share and I just tasted itā¦ Kind ofā¦
I broke a record again (tracked protein intake. well my tracking is quite sloppy nowadays but I am good at eating protein for sure especially if meat is involved but I ate high protein on vegetarian keto too).
I think I proved I can eat on carnivore at this point so I wonāt eat any time I am physically able from now on, being afraid of sudden die of starvation or somethingā¦ It would be nice to eat 1-2 times a day as itās natural for me. I got back my joy of food and appetiteā¦ So I am hopeful I can have proper sized meals again. I wasnāt really hungry today (it has nothing to do with my intake, I ate quite much. proper short women dieters aim for 1000 kcal lower, I just met such one on the Hungarian forum I visitā¦ poor, poor soul, seriously). So I still have this skill.
But I am very satisfied now and a bit in love 
A bit sad that my roast will disappear tomorrow but itās life. I will get some other meat eventually (well, the next day I guess :)). I have liver but after the chuck roastā¦ Itās just doesnāt have the same charm. But I didnāt try the recipe I found yetā¦

I donāt eat onion ever, carnivore or no, so I would definitely be omitting it
Shinita
#349
Yep, you wonāt miss it then 
Itās different when someone grew up with it and adored it but itās really a mandatory ingredient in proper Hungarian stews. But I will try some stews without it, well, paprika and whatever I make the stew from will be there, it canāt be badā¦ 
Just maybe lacking. We will see. I never respected recipes anyway.

Duck!
Working in the city away from the chickens. No eggs for me unless I buy them. But I am spoilt and only want my eggs straight from the chickenās clacker freshness.
Breaking fast this morning was 2 roasted duck marylands (leg and thigh together?) and a 150g wheel of double brie cheese from an island off the coast of Tasmania (has to be my favourite cheese).
2 black coffees as I once again scale the paper mountain.
I am looking forward to get back to the home routine. Even though Iām staying āon planā I gut feel that that a regular routine combined with the foods creates a complementary and effective optimal environment.

Belgium style is very similar and also has a cup of brown beer added to it. Thats how we will cook the rabbit stew today.
So I guess Iāll have to make shure I do not accidentally eat a piece of union or I will fail the Nocarbvember Adventure and be tortured by the guilt and nightmares.

DUCKā¦yum
Yes I agree with ya FB. ZC puts us into a āreal natural eating patternā that suits our bodies. Some love OMAD, some are 2MAD but in the end, whatever we are, a nice eating routine does suit zc people best along with good fresh cooking at home, vs. just buying whatever processed for us stuff. I have your gut feeling also 
too funny!
Holy Moly that pic is a nice sight to see!!
----------------good NoCarbvember morning
food yesterday was
12 oz NY Strip steak
cheeseburger patty
chicken breast
So store put NY Strip steaks on a good low sale. I am buying a ton of them. Freezer is very low. A headline news was a meat plant in some state was mandatory shut down due to covid case increase and I almost can āsee some writing on the wallā and I am stocking up for just in case. I live on a steak per day definitely! The meat plant is suing the state but I just see trouble looming and I am not getting caught with low freezer supply. So out to buy today.
Turkeys are very very low price but none of us like it enough to buy and stock up. Wish I loved it LOL cause price per lb would be stellar but if ya donāt enjoy it?
Still holding my down 2 lbs for NoCarbvember.
Other than that just cruising along in fine form on zero carb.
Nothing different, as usual for me, so far so good!

My beautiful fast breaker picture I always take apparently didnāt save

#356
ohhh how did you do on the hot dog chiliā¦you been ākinda more spicelessā right? so wondering if that bit of spice nailed ya or not LOL
I used to put a tablespoon of cocktail sauce over my shrimp and just slather a tad of taste on it til one day that darn horseradish crap made my gut burnā¦end of my story is I dumped a tiny bit of cocktail sauce from my life I hate a burny tummyā¦so wondering how ya did on that chili sauce. Hope ya did great, cause a tad of spice sometimes just āhelps usā transition thru when we want some type of taste change just causeā¦

It didnāt bother me at all thankfully! I will eat a little serving of it each day or until I decide to throw out the rest. I didnāt mean to unthaw it at all when I did (thought I was thawing my husbandās chili), but didnāt want to re-freeze it since it had completely thawed. I hate wasting food and since this is my special recipe for hot dog chili, itās really clean. Maybe Iāll actually make hot dogs tomorrow and eat the chili with a wiener I have some really clean hot dog wieners in the freezer.

Sure! 1lb of ground beef, 1.5 cups of water, 2-3 teaspoons of salt (or to taste), 1.5 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 6 Oz can tomato paste, 1tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Simmer on low for about 30 minutes. Not purely carnivore, but very clean ingredients and so flavorful!
