Vee's Journal

That they do....not being married to a butcher, I talk to the guys at the Supermarket (some trade-trained fols behind the counter) and they carve off a slab of rump maybe 35-40mm thick if you ask.. 4m in the grill and it's done to perfection. Just cooked up a batch, it'll keep in the fridge for a few days, esp if you keep it out of the juices. Yum, yum, YUM =P~

which supermarket?

New World Thorndon - the butchers there seem really helpful. Ain't necessarily cheap, but I figured it's worth it. The steak cuts that are pre-packed are real skinny and dry out too quickly.

Gipp St Butchers, Karori, and Village Meats Khandallah are also good, and Moore Wilsons too, probly.

Nice pics Vee! Seems like we have a few budding photographers in the forum :grin:

If this doesn't work I'm getting liposuction and implants. :shifty:

:pfft:

I'm so curious about these powdered egg whites. How do you use them? When you say you have them as a shake, what does it taste like (apart from salty!). Probably not as yum as a flavoured protein shake? But they look like they have more protein I think.

Hmmm, might have to try them!

That's where I get supplies :pray: Their red meat is all pre-packaged. You can get a whole fillet and cut it to size. Or you can buy fillet already cut to very respectable thicknesses, i.e. restaurant stylez. Chicken they do at the counter etc.

Thorndon is good too. Chaffers also does the biz. Nice lady behind the counter, nothing is too much to ask etc 8)

I used my what-used-to-be omelette heater upper AKA grill to cook Le Schnitzel this evening:

Yeh they don't taste that nice drinking them as is, but I am now a recovering vegan back to eating le meat, eating has become for function only!

You mix the powder with water and they are instant egg whites, there's nothing else added to them just dehydrated egg whites. I think they have a similar protein content as my isolate. I'm trying to cut back on shakes and have more real food, so this is the convenience of a shake but real food contents.

That's why I liked the frozen liquid eggwhites - that same real-food theory. These are frozen/ pasteurised to get over the raw-egg-white thing, so safe to use. 300ml equals 10 whites, no wasted yolks, one-litre bottle keeps in the fridge. In Wellington, you can get them from Sync gym (above Whitcoulls, Lambton Quay, about 7 bucks for 30-egg 1l bottle.

I'm LOVING the change, SO bored of fish and I can eat meat for brekkie, never fancied a can of tuna for first meal of the day!
