Nice pics Except the excessive amount of package but I can’t always avoid that myself and I am happy that my staples don’t come in plastic boxes (they come in plastic but only what is necessarily and not a box. the best is when there is a single, 3-5kg slab of meat with strong so thicker but tight plastic around it). Long ago I made photos after my big shoppings, now I just put everything into the fridge. It was impressive yesterday though, I bought 4 slabs of pork (that’s about 8kg), catfish and mouflon and processed stuff too.
You there have some stuff I never saw here but most are familiar, of course, I just never ate them as they are too expensive. (I don’t want to die without eating steak once at least… My frying some cheaper beef slices years ago is not something I call steaks in a not very wide sense. But I am still not that curious yet. It must be in a steakhouse though, I need to know the goal before I try my non-existing skills at that! maybe that is the meat where technique matters. I normally have the opinion that good meat is good even if I make it not skillfully and without much care but I am sure there are exceptions. And it’s known that my usual “fry the hell out of it” approach is far from making proper steaks - even I left that approach in some cases… Still the best with fatty pork, mmm.)
My shopping is sooo different. I need meat in bigger amounts, I don’t go shopping often.
12oz steak is a cute size (if we consider it the main part of a meal, not just one part of a single course of a single meal on a day with multiple meals… I eat so differently from normal folks now). A safe amount for me as I may or may not be able to eat a big one.
looks good. But all properly fatty steaks look good to me and beef in general, some more than others, such a deep red color, it’s still exotic to me.
I almost thought you are prepared to go carni but it seems the trusty mushrooms and vegs are there Seems low-carb enough for me even with the onion but I am horrible at guessing macros and don’t know how much do you eat from it (then I saw the new photos… yep, doesn’t seem sooo much, my body wouldn’t complain for sure). I used to eat up veggie dishes right away most of the time, I just shared with my SO… Making enough veggie dish to last for 4 days always were a challenge (I even had some one-meal cooking and we didn’t even get satiated from it) and it was time consuming too quite often. It’s sooo much better with meat. Yeah, it didn’t help we didn’t have meat back then…
Your food looks quite nice, sour cream in sauces and whatnots is one of my fav things to do and even though I don’t feel like eating mushrooms anymore, I have some very warm memories of them (I still don’t like white champignon not from the wild, I feel them almost tasteless. still have a tiny taste and properly made, it’s not bad at all, we just choose some other mushrooms for our own cooking. I still have some jars from the time I found a ton of mushroom in a forest for weeks)… Sour cream suits mushrooms wonderfully… Even chicken stew here often has sour cream in it, it’s a thing and quite good… Mmmm. I almost miss sauces and wetter dishes now. I tend to eat roasts and fried meat, barely even touch sour cream nowadays.
Next time I bring photos, I promise…!
