In some big recipe site, as I recall. One guy started evangelizing and posting recipes. I think he's published a couple of books since.

I like sous vide and did it for a few years and my mad scientist methodology made it exponentially easier than conventional cooking.  But my laziness evolved and now I'd only do it for a large rare roast beef.  Everything else is done in the rice cooker.

RC introduced me to Sous Vide, and I use it 5-6 days a week now.  It's so efficient.  Drop dinner in the water, come back and eat... when I'm ready, not the food.

Might have to try it again soon.  Sounds like less hassle than it used to be.

>less hassle

Less, yes, if you do like the recipe sites say. Waaaaay less if you go rogue like I did.  But, again, I took what I gleened from sous vide and applied that to the replicator and now it's truly a sidebar process.

"After that, hit the start button, and your role is done."

That's what I've been trying to tell you guys. Hit the button, walk away.  Really, it works.

Thanks for the recipe, Viking.  Kinda carb-y for me, but maybe I'll try it on the grandkids.

>Kinda carb-y for

Me too, been toying with some low carb pancakes, however I guess it'll take too much work for you.

>sous vide
I actually backed the Anova cooker Joe mentioned above. Waiting for 2 of them in the mail.

>low carb pancakes

The Atkins low carb pancake mix is pretty good.  I got it through Amazon here in the US, but not sure if it is available in the EU.

How are your low-carb diets going?

Brad

I lost a lot of weight, started craving carbs, eventually I started brewing beer as a hobby and that pretty well ended the low carb diet.  Gained back all of what I lost but because of beer, had fun doing it.

Doing pretty well overall over time.

Being sick as a dog just for 4 days just put me under 93.5 kg - down from 114 kg at my highest 3,5 years ago. Strength-wise, going low carb is not ideal, but using the Carb Backloading protocol seems a good fit for me. Basically just eating your carbs - if any - at evening and especially not be fore training.

Nice job Rumbas.  Yeah, I know, low-carbing makes it hard to lift with intensity.  I haven't gotten very scientific about it like you, but I've upped my fruit a little and it seemed to help me in the gym.

>>low carb pancakes

This sounds ridiculous, but try the pancakes made out of crushed pork rinds. They taste like really good crepes or pastry.

Thanks for the idea, Rumbas. 

>>carb-y

I didn't have any pork rinds or heavy cream, but I found some almond flour from my Atkins days. I tossed in a couple of eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and splenda. Hit "white rice" --worked!  Low carb, relatively low calorie, pancakes.

I found some quinoa flour from my Atkins days. 1/4 cup quinoa, 1/4 cup water, 1 egg, yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and splenda. Hit "STEAM" --white rice setting was overcooking. Fast, 16 carbs, 200 calories. Pancake was large, about 10 inch diam x 1/2 inch thick.  This would work for carb cravings.
