What I ate: May 8, 2013

Breakfast: Chorizo breakfast burrito with chorizo, onion, green pepper, jalapeño, and egg.

Snack: 1.0 oz. Sriracha chex mix .

Made a fresh batch of dry rub that I use for things like pork spare ribs.

Speaking of ribs, prepped a package of pork back ribs, coating them in dry rub and vacuum sealing. They'll rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours or so.

Cooked 1 pound of ground beef for taco seasoned ground beef. Divided into 3x 3.2 oz. packages for nachos and 1x 4.3 oz. package for tacos.

The original package was 1.33 pounds, the remaining 5.3 oz. I vacuum sealed and froze for those recipes that need a small amount of ground beef.

Made a batch of chana masala . The first picture is before cooking down, it's not actually that soupy when done.

Made a batch of homemade loose chorizo sausage (updated recipe).

Lunch: Beef with snow peas stir-fry with rice.

Snack: 1.0 oz. pretzels and a Saranac pale ale.

Dinner: Mom's shrimp tempura, previously frozen.

And 2 glasses of Kaiken malbec.

Weight at beginning of the day: 122.4 lbs. Weight at the beginning of the next day: 122.4 lbs.
