[QUOTE="Borzoi, post: 1034901, member: 254256"] Update: Everything's going according to plan still. After discovering Januvia was behind some of the joint pain I'd been experiencing lately I've made the decision to discontinue using it as of tonight. It put an abrupt halt to my weightlifting a few months back, and I spent thousands of dollars on physical therapy, xrays and body scans to just realize it was a side effect of medication. I kind of feel like an idiot, I wish I'd done a little research when the pain first started about a year back. Regardless it'll be better to continue with less medication reliance-I'll really be able to better gauge what my body is doing with as little medication aiding it going forward. Foodwise I've been having fun with the constraints. I got it in my head to make something resembling a meatball and after multiple failed experiments I've created [B]Newcastle Meatballs![/B] [img]http://i.imgur.com/f3fYCw8.jpg[/img] Using the theory of wet and dry ingredients, I sauteed one part flavorful mushrooms (eg. Chanterelle, portobello oyster mushroom), roasted eggplant, garlic, onions, seasoning, parsley and beef stock and combined it with 3 parts well roasted cauliflower in a food processor to create a nice paste. I formed those into patties by hand and baked them till relatively firm and let cool. Not the firmest in texture (takes a lot of experimentation), but finished in the pan they taste delicious. I had a lot of misfires figuring out ratios, but this is the first one that's maintained it's form well.
