Thur April 9, 2015 {As for me and my blue foods}
I broke rules. I broke them well. I broke them because I had nothing better to do then to break rules. Broke.
I like breaking rules. I think I like breaking rules. Breaking rules are like the only things to do. Brake.
I 've broken rules. Broken, no breaken them. Breakening them.
I breaked them. Breakeninged em.
Um ive breaken-ing-ed-um-ish-ly

Sighs, I don't know what to do with aytundra. Sometimes the taste buds and guts speaks louder than the article-reading-brain.
so hard to meet theoretical goals.
so silly it is to be in such a place.
perhaps. i wish. perhaps.
goals damn goals.
wish goals ifs.
discard them.

*Samosa from a friend. Oh no they are sabotaging me again! help!. lol
F: "Remember last time you gave me a mango juice, now I owe you a mango juice."
A: " You do? why? "
F: " Because you finished somework for me."
A: " Hey you've brought samosas, I already have your samosa. no need for a mango juice."
F: " Heat it up, it tastes better that way." [friend leaves]
Aytundra is left to her thoughts. ( {hmm heat? 95 C? bringing summer to cells, never.}
[eats the samosa cold, and not warmed by a microwave.] )**
----
Pretty cool the dates are so close.
Last year April 11, 2014, I ate a samosa, and ate late in the day because of work.
Same thing this year on April 10, 2015. I ate a samosa, and ate late in the day because of work.
But these 2 days are so different in terms of everything else of foods in the day around that samosa.

April 11, 2014
- Oatmeal with Orange Yam, peeled off skin of yam, boiled in water.
- Apple raw, peeled and sliced.
- Almonds
- glass of water (Note: all water for food use has been through reverse-osmosis).

---9 hours later (Seriously if I do not eat, I might as well be doing a Warrior diet except in an un-Wai version.)
- Potato Samosa, a samosa consists of a fried skin of wheat pastry triangularly wrapping boiled potatoes and some spicy seeds (don't know what that spice is), reheated in microwave. ***This food item was brought to you by, the courtesy of a new microwave friend,...um they are really trying to sabotage me.

---1 hour later
-Steamed Rice White.
-Green Chives boiled.
-Fish in soy sauce, ginger and scallions
-Chicken wings
- Fruitopia purple coloured juice.
- Chocolate almonds.
.

A year ago I started this diary. Listing everything I ate (well almost all days except for 3 to 5 days that I archived, and some entries that I edited out for the name of food brands or food names for the food components itself instead (makes it easier for me to place on nutrition calculators).)

I've upgraded the reporting format.
Scale:
I got a kitchen scale 2 days ago, and now I report in grams.

*{Three oranges sat in my back pack for 4 days, 2 of them developped a small spot of fungi on the skin, and they smell a little bit like nail polish. They were sweet though.}
**{Two oranges sat in a basket for 3 days, purchased from a different store, and had thicker skin, they did not smell, they were sweet, and juicy.}

"A big mess"!
Is that what you think of my new goal for eating foods?
It is nice to have your opinion on that.
lol, my skill testing question actually contains most of the answers to the prizes.

3) 1 Detailed Explanation of 1 of the factors of why I keep diary.

{365 * 3}
I keep a diary because a long time ago when I was a child, the rumor was that if you can keep a diary for 3 years consecutively and daily without fail you can become a good writer. I've always attempted and started paper diaries but nothing ever lasted for more than a few weeks. This might be the longest diary I've ever kept, though it might not count as a diary, because it has an air of interaction.
I always like the element of surprise when others respond and read this diary. I don't think I can ever go back to a bland paper diary, simply because paper just can't talk back.

Making diary entries seems a lot easier than doing the wai diet.
The other saying is that "if you can spend over 1000 hours spent on a subject, and you can be an expert at anything you choose."
"This is boring, we all know 100, 1000, 10000, etc makes better samples exceterrra, only literary-aytundra can spend so much time believing in these number myths. No need to believe, just trust stats." - Stats aytundra.



4) 1 Detailed Explanation of 1 of the factors of why I am convinced to switch to eating strangely.
<95 degree Celsius
I asked about temperature a while back. What temperature to slow cook meats? At that time I did not have a reason to explain or to convince myself that something at or below 100 degree Celcius in water was bad.
Then I was reading Dime's post on pressure cooking on the thread: Warming up raw meat. Trying to convince myself that pressure cooking was bad. On various websites, protein coagulation was explained as the mechanism that makes food sterile in pressure cooking, but I didn't really believe that, blah sculps of protein clumping together stops cell growth? Proteins I feel like they are very good at folding and unfolding and then folding back, clumping?, nah that feels like proteins hugging each other and they can unhug later. But DNA strands going apart sounds bad, and at temperatures with proteins and everything colliding at high speeds. I think the DNA strands will be like a christmas tree strangled with ornaments and ribbons of decorative proteins.
A few weeks ago I chanced across that bio-chem textbook again on PCR techniques (page 1117 Organic Chemistry, McMurray 7th edition), and 95 degree Celsius is the temperature to keep double stranded DNA apart. Running along with that thought. DNA strands seperated does not sound too good especially with Maillard reaction products forming at higher temperatures after boiling point, I imagine that these DNA strands will be more susceptible to Maillard products acting on these seperated strands, perhaps higher chance for some damage.

[Aytundra]

Sorry guys for not posting daily. I'll post catch up entries later.

Since I've been starting/trying to eat raw fish for a while now ( >6 months ago).
I'm gonna talk about fish today.
What do you guys think?

Aytundra & Fish Preparation:
This is how aytundra stocks and prepares her fish for the past 6 months.
- When the store has salmon on sale I buy them.
- I wait until the tray has freshly cut salmon, usually in late afternoons or weekends when other numerous shoppers have depleted the supply of fish, and I can see them make new steaks of salmon.
- I usually buy my salmon in amounts of ~2000 g.
- When I get home, I take the fish out immediately (and refridgerate them for 3 hours then take it out for division, if I get lazy) and divide them in cubes of ~50 g.
- I do not ever wash the fish before refridgeration. Washing might move bacteria from skin to the meat. I stick with a general idea that raw foods for refridgeration should not be washed before keeping it for a length of time in the fridge. You know that general knowledge that pre-washed bagged salad from supermarkets are always not that free of bacteria idea.
- I wrap them in cling wrap or plastic wrap, and I place it in a plastic bag, and into the freezer.
- I freeze them for >10 days usually.
- I eat from my old stock of fish cubes.
- Each bag lasts me for about 10 times or 10 days of fish eating.
- I eat fish on average 3 times a week.
- When I eat fish cubes, I take wrapped cubes and place it on a ceramic plate in the fridge for 1~6 hours to defrost it. Usually 6 hours, but sometimes I eat it straight from the freezer after steaming it for a few minutes.
- When it is time to eat fish, I discard the plastic wrap, and dunk it into a cup of RO water to rinse it, sometimes I run it under cold tap water.
- When it is washed, I put it back on a ceramic plate. I place the skin side of the fish on the plate, because the skin will stick to plate later and not the meat.
- I warm it for a few minutes (3 - 10 min, defrosted long time - defrosted short time, respectively.) by steam from heated water.
Before I eat it, I peel off the skin and depending on how long I warmed it the center can be slightly warm or icy cold and raw.
- A few times I've eaten it totally raw after rinsing it with water, when I am too lazy to heat up water.

[RRM]

Better than using steam, would be using the oven.
I think that will warm up the salmon more evenly, and at lower heat exposure.
