And for complex carbohydrates go for tequila...
My breakfast today:
Three eggs sunny-side up. Whole wheat bread for help with the running yolk. Chunky tomato sauce in place of salad. Here is the sauce recipe:
Chop and saute one medium onion and a couple of garlic cloves with a pinch of salt. (Use canola grapeseed oil).
Dice a few tomatoes (I always reserve end pieces of tomatoes after slicing for sandwiches etc, so that I can use them in a sauce later).
After your onion/garlic is golden-brown, add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of dried basil. Depending on your tomatoes, you may need to add a tablespoon of brown sugar to counteract the tartness. And a dash of tabasco, of course, for the fire-eaters among us.
Cook it down till the tomatoes are fully cooked, but not mushy. Serve on a side of the eggs as a ragu, or work it into the eggs as a shakshooka.

Not-your-real-name-Shmueli,
your recipe sounds good, I just don't know what the water in the rice cooker will do to the tomato dip flavor...or the dip to the rice cooking.
But even more importantly, my mother always warned me against cooking with strangers. Certainly, against inviting them into my kitchen.
You can read more about me here and here. So far, I gathered that you don't really identify with pornography addiction and compulsive masturbation, but that you do have questions that you're ashamed to ask your Local Orthodox Rabbi. I also gathered that you're so ashamed of whatever it is that bothers you, that you won't even discuss it on an anonymous internet forum hiding behind a fake name. So that doesn't give me a warm cozy feeling about standing elbow to elbow with you next to a hot stove, handling knives etc.
Do you see what I'm getting at?
There are great recipe-exchange sites out there, as well as cooking blogs un azoi veiter. But this one's primary purpose isn't this at all.
I'm glad you found the GYE, and I am grateful for your input on my thread. I would like to encourage you to take a courageous step forward and properly introduce yourself.
You will see that we (perhaps) have more in common than passion for healthful eating and indulgencies of the palate.
With love and respect for a fellow traveler,
Mottel

thanks, it is indeed pretty good.  the water doesnt do much to the flavor other than dilute it, along with the rice.  so while the dip on challah packs quite the delicious taste punch, its much more subtle in the rice, although it smells fantastic while cooking.  cooking is not really affected.

like your sig says, baby steps, baby steps.  first step is to come to the site.  from what ive seen of the threads ive looked at, it doesnt seem uncommon at all for someone to lurk for a while before posting.  im doing that, only instead of not posting at all, im posting off topic. 

(dont worry, my knife skills are good enough that i never cut myself anymore, let alone others...)

look i never listen to matisyahu with a beard or without, or to any goyishe music for that matter, but sitting in the kitchen supervising your mexican workers all day, sometimes burns songs into my subconscious y'know?
ain't no one not gon' break mah stride....

Shmueli,
I didn't mean to push, just to encourage. Whatever suits your palate, y'know.
Have you read the "GYE in the Nutshell" while lurking? You find it on the homepage, and you may find yourself and some answers there, too.
Hatzlocho,
Mottel

If Mottel's not going to I'll have to:
Piping Hot Cholent Likovod Thursday Night [oh! by Mottel it's still thursday morning, I guess that explains it....]
Specially imported all the way from the Cholent Thread
Oh! and kentucky fried [i don't care about the type of oil, if it passed my supervision it's kosher] chicken!

So as I am eating my buckwheat kasha for breakfast this morning, I thought I'd share a funny story.
Two Shabbosim ago, I had a fellow "recovering pervert" from out of state for Friday night seuda. The following week, even though he was still in town, and staying in a dorm or hotel of some sort, he kindly declined my invitation to come again. So I was thinking: it must be my FOOD!
We had seared tuna (very rear, just "touched" by fire) which he didn't eat. The mayo in a salad dressing was Lite, which needs some getting used to. We served a beet salad with walnuts, whose dark-purple look can easily scare a faint-hearted New Englander. And ceviche with red snapper and lime overtones is certainly not something you find on a Boro Park Shabbos table.
That is in addition to real dark wholewheat chala (home-baked, k'muvon) exuding strong rosemary fumes, gefilte fish with zero sugar and a wasabi sauce instead of chrein, and my strong insistence on staying at the table for a really long time, drinking and talking. 
We served no soup this time around, although I doubt that he would have enjoyed parsley root flavored chicken soup, or a halibut chowder, or a spicy Tum Yum soup with bean sprouts and mushrooms which we serve here every so often.
And when it came to (crock-pot-steamed) chicken it came along with wild rice mix (black and white) and sweet potato pie. He didn't even touch that...
Oh, well. We tried. I suppose I should have warned him that if he wanted a greasy noodle kugel, over-baked breaded chicken, gefilte fish made entirely out of bread and sugar-water with a faint smell of fish added to confirm the name, and Cole slaw consisting of dead cabbage strings swimming in a pool of mayonnaise, he should have gone  to the corner delicatessen and got his own d4mn food.
And why do they call it Delicatessen when nothing there qualifies as delicate and it's more honest to call what they serve "fressen"? I say that unless they change the name to "Grobefressen by Chaya Eidel" they are really misleading the public and could be subject to Truth in Advertising law suits.
Hugs, but no kisses,
Mottel.   

Mitt Mott for Prez!

down with grobefressen and gefilte fish impostors

ps. can i come for a meal? and can perverted recoverers come too? pea-covered converts? quivering sherbert?

I'd like to come too.  Could you at least get something chocolaty for dessert?  Yes, it needs to have sugar in it!

I forgot to say that the guy didn't take his chances with dessert and asked to bentch and be excused before we dished out a banana cake spiked with nuts and sunflower seeds for extra fiber and infamous omegas.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. And I like you, even though I just met you.
And kissing may lead to dancing (nusach acher, apropo kitchen: spooning may lead to forking).

I am sure we can train the Whitehouse chef to cook broccoli...but the truth is, I hate broccoli AND cauliflower. So can I still be president, Gevura, pleeeeeeze?

What, and put the national debt on your plate?  :o

hmmm, national debt with some fried onions....I can caramelize the onions even, with brown sugar and a pinch of cayenne pepper...

Now Serving:
Chocolate Covered Green Elephants


A Note to those concerned about the Kashrus of this product:

As a kashrus mashgiach who [occasionally] likes chocolate I have done a lot of research into the halachic ramifications of chocolate consumption, and this is what i found:
A. All Milk Chocolate is Kosher [especially if it contains nuts]. Even with no hechsher, Milk Chocolate does NOT require a hechsher.
B. Most Pareve Chocolate is Kosher, with orange-peels doesn't require hechsher.
C. Regarding Chocolate Covered Green Elephants in particular. This product is mehudar in that it poses no problem in terms of a bracha:
chocolate is borei pri ha'adamah according to some poskim as it is the desired outcome of the raw cacao bean which comes from the adamah. therefore some in the bardichiver kehilla were always makpid to eat some pineapple [making a haadamah] and drink some woodford [shehakol] before eating chocolate. but now that the chocalate is only the tafel to the ikkar which is green elephants [not to be confused with green eggs and ham which is certainly treif], and green elephants is a definite adamah [because beheimos are gidulei karka] we have no sheila of a bracha!

[what are you looking at me like that for, it's almost purim ;D ]
