Make your stock from chicken bones and skin and just grill the chicken and throw it in when your ready. If you use a slow cooker you are basically boiling the chicken and overcooking the fuck out of it. I hate chicken that shreds.

Thanks for the tip.

Also, corn tortilla > flour. Every time.

There are some flour tortillas that are fucking magical, but finding them is so infrequent for me (even at the mexican supermercado).

You honestly need to make your own corn tortillas. Store bought corn tortillas are total fucking garbage. Homemade tastes nothing like store bought.

This is how I feel about flour. I've made them both from scratch and flour tortillas in all their lardy goodness are definitely the ones I prefer.

Corn tortillas always taste mealy to me unless they are fried/baked into shells. I've never had a soft corn tortilla that I liked.

Speaking of corn, apparently people in some countries don't know how to eat corn on the cob

I had some chicken thighs I was originally gonna make coq au vin with but wasn't feeling too well and didn't want to cook for 6+ hours yesterday so I just went into my spice cabinet and threw stuff into a bowl. It came out way better than I was expecting and now I wish I had measured but I'm gonna put the "kinda sorta what I remember" spice mix here for great justice.

Equal parts Paprika, Garlic Powder and Cumin. 3/4th part coarse salt. 1/2 part Cayenne powder. 1/4th part mustard powder and fresh ground black pepper. 1/8 parts Cardamom and Sage.

I coated each side of the thighs heavily and quickly fried it just enough to crust up the spice coating, then roasted it at 250 for an hour. I'm going to be trying to recreate this often. It was really, really good.

I only use flour for Burritos and I make Tuco approved burritos so no way I can make one that fucking big.

No carbs and no fats? Are you drinking nothing but protein shakes? Are there even any foods that exist that have both 0g of carbs and 0g of fats?

just lean meats and leafy veggies holly crap, and i only found one protein shake brand that didn't have a 1:1 ratio of carbs to protein
Amazon.com: Body Fortress Super Advanced 100% Protein Isolate, Vanilla, 1.5 Pounds: Health Personal Care, it was actually 1:15 which was pretty amazing.

in the morning it's either plain cottage cheese or egg whites, musta thrown like 2lbs of egg yolks down the drain ha. Then it's whatever lean cut i got in the sous vide, with a veggie mix and bone broth.
