Cherry red dr martens and mixed grains

Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaw!

I just won an auction on dr martens 3 eye cherry red shoes!!!!

I managed to get them very cheap with my ebay sniper app. I only have to pay 36,96€ in total, including shippin and that for shoes that are almost new. Im very happy about it. Now i can switch between my black ones and these. And i have special plans for the cherry red ones *diabolic laughter*

I plan to treat them with black shoe polish so it will create an interesting effect. Im sure this looks good and also more "left" when i combine that with the rainbow shoelaces. And i will polish them very glossy as well. :-D

Btw.: My black dr martens are my most favourite shoes right now, i just look so good in them. :-D *sigh*.
I also bought 3 tins of shoe polish, "Erdal". The frog of the brand wears a crown, just the brandlogo is so lovely silly:

I like the old style frog better.
However, it hope its good enough for all my leather shoes and also to give the red ones a good effect.

Here is a picture of dr martens that are treated with black shoe polish. Looks really good!

Even wearing all black always i think i could go with darkened cherry red shoes.















And i think these shoes are the better candidate for the rainbow gradient shoelaces.

This time i prepared extra healthy basic food:

It contains:

Black rice, black lentils, lentils, kidney beans, millet, wheat, rye, barley, oat and spelt.

I let it soak for about 16 hours (to reduce the phytic acid by 90%) and cooked it one hour.

Then i ate a bit from it, and let the rest cool for at least 5 hours, to create some resistant starch.

I think its really true, since i let my food cool down for hours, i need to eat much less and are full for much longer!
I think, its really good to do it and everyone who is health concerned should do it!

I wonder if cooling for a day can reduce the phytic acid to absolute zero...... Could be true.

And it tastes really gread when reheated and lightly roasted in a pan. I wonder if reheating can destroys the resistant starch again...  But i dont wanna eat some ice cold grains when i come home out of the cold!!! :-D You know?
 Here it is, still steaming:

Believe me, that food is very healthy for the nerves and also the mind. It enhances creativity, a very clear awareness of anything, much concenrtation and a very very good mood!
If you suffer from stress, or depression or a lack of concentration, or a burnout, i can really recommend it! But you have to eat it often for these boosting effects. It works.

Eat it with mixed vegetables for best effects. Eat apples and nuts as a dessert.

I belive good food can make people more intelligent! (and much more happy)

Dr Martens 3 eye 1460 - I love them!

Hello, Friends!

I seem to be really in luck with shoes! 😀

Today i got some dr martens that are really new! The owner only wore them twice, they have no signs of wear. I only had to pay 54€ - for shoes that cost 150€

I'm soooo glaaad, you can believe me that!
I think i never owned such high quality and expensive shoes before...
Usually i joke how little money the clothes i wear only cost.

• Trousers 3€, jacket 8€, shoes 12€, scarf 0,50€, gloves 1€, etc :-D (don't worry, i have style tho)

 But I really want to look good and not poor. I wanna be treated well. In my city, people judge each other based on simply perfection. How good do you look, how slim/thin are you, how healthy do you look, and of course how good your clothes are... Its very, very superficial here and you are treated so well how good you look. Its sad, but a good look is required to have a good life here... (Its not munich where i live)(Thanks lord, I'm sure munich is even worse!!!)

But enough talk, now i show you the shoes:

As you see, they are perfectly like new:

They really suit me. Do you know, why i prefer 3 eye shoes?
They let me look slimmer. I don't have very thing ankles^^ In boots my ankles even look stronger. That alone lets me look... sturdier. You know what I mean?

If I wear just low shoes, my ankles look the slimmest, because they are only covered by the sock. This is my hint for people with strong ankles^^.
I also think I look a little bigger as in boots.

 

 Its number 1461.

 Thats my food today. Minced beef with many vegetables in redwine sauce. I used merlot. Served with chicory and balsamic cream.
It tastes great and because there are only a few small purple potatoes in it, its very low carb.

Resistant starch from Potato tornados - terrible idea

Hello!

Because i cant help myself but to really doubt that cooling for 5 hour will reduce the calories of ramen by half, i decided to make resistant starch from a snack that i really love - potato tornadoes!

Potato tornadoes are a wonderful fastfood, even suitable for weightloss if oil is used sparse.
i bought an oil sprayer just to bake low fat potato tornadoes! i can really recommend oil sprayer for everyone who wants to bake with only little oil.

The other great thing of potato tornadoes is, that they are healthy. The potatoes doesn't need to be cooked, to dispense their vitamins in to the cooking water that will only be poured away. The best thing to cook potatoes is to sizzle them with very little oil or to bake them with very little oil or even no oil.
Please don't bake potatoes in tin foil, I'm not sure that the aluminum isn't going into the potatoes. Please avoid ALL aluminum, since its considered to be a potential cause of neurodegenerative diseases.

Here some arousing pictures of delicious potato tornadoes first of all:

Oh dear, they are so yummy!

The top is crispy like potato chips and the other areas are soft.
A perfect composition!!!

I spray them thinly with the oil sprayer and sprinkle some potato fries spices on them. Paprika, curry, onion, pepper, cumin, chili, garlic and so on...

Then i bake them at 392 degree Fahrenheit until toe top side get brown edges.
better don't bake them too crispy, because it WILL be higher in acrylamide then. (Which is so far, the only disadvantage of this delicious snack)

 Another picture with my hand as a measuring scale.

To home make these precious potato snacks, you only need such a crank:

If your skilled with your hands, you will be able to make very good potato tornadoes, just with that. That thingy only costs about 1$.^^ (I recommend to buy a few, because mine broke after 4 month of frequent use^^)

I'm sure, that's the cheapest link:
 Buy spiral cutter for only 0,75$

And here the oil sprayer, too:
Oil sprayer 6,65$

Cheapest link i found.
Btw.: You cant use a normal spraybottle to spray oil, believe my, i already tried it.

Metal skewers 10 pc 3$

(the same that i have)

These are the potato tornadoes that i baked yesterday evening.

I intended to put them in the fridge overnight.

I was skeptical.

They look really nice in the box, though.





















(The picture is taken immediately after their were baked)


Now i came home, looking forward to eat yummiest potato tornadoes with lots of resistant starch and even their calories decimated. ^^

I opened the box, that has been in the fridge the whole time:

Here's how they changed:


























I ate a few and unluckily I'm not very pleased. No crisp anymore. And the taste is also not good. Its hard to describe, but somehow the tastes remembers to raw potatoes. Also the consistency became somehow floury in a way that wasn't good.

Conclusion:
I'm not very happy to announce that potato tornadoes doenst commend themselves as a good resistant starch fastfood.

Quinoa with buckwheat with whole grain noodles

Recently i really like the above mentioned food!

It is very satisfying to eat it, the taste of buckwheat goes s0 well with quinoa and even whole grain noodles!

You now wonder, why in the world i cook whole grain noodles together with quinoa and buckwheat?

If i cook them this way, i don't have to pour away the cooking water with all the vitamins infused in it. I always hate to pour away cooking water of anything healthy. Bought a steam cooker, too that's why. :-)

Back to quinoa, buckwheat and whole grain noodles.
It all has the same cooking time. I like combining some nice whole grain cereals or pseudocereals or lentils with the same cooking time. I think the different spectres of vitamins and nutrients complete each other and help to enhance bioavailability furthermore. :-)

Also the taste of it gets more balanced out! It tastes great and satisfying just with butter and salt.
Just buckwheat could have such a weird aftertaste... But this even tastes good together with other grains.

It is really really healthy. Its definitely not low carb, but at least is has complex carbohydrates that make you sated fr very long.

It surely has a lot of b - vitamins and other good ingredients. Its pure food for the nerves.^^
I'm sure it contains much trypophan, too.
Tryptophan is the substance many hormones of happiness are synthesized off. :-D

(Maybe that's why I'm happy?)

Here is a pic of it:

 Now, when i see that picture, i can assure you it tastes better, than it looks^^

 I could have added red lentils too, their cooking time is about 12 minutes.
Nothing special, but combined with vegetables and some good meat or fish its surely a great way to make more out of the meal.

I maybe have pictures of alike food, ive got to look....

Here, thats something i also really like to buy:

 6 different cereals in there. Its not expensive. Surely a good thing for health. (in the background is my messy kitchen^^)

Diversity is a good thing! That's why i suppose to mix different grains together. Also different kinds of lentils are good together, even though some lentils will be softer and others stay harder.

And now another very, very important advise:

All these precious grains contain phytic acid! That's a substance that binds minerals and leads to the lack of these minerals. It also reduces the bioavailability of vitamins and nutrients.

To reduce the phytic acid to a good amount, let the grains soak in water at least for 12 hours. Over night at least.
Then pour the water away and cook the grains.

A better method is fermentation, but this is too much extra efforts for me, the industry and convenience food pampered capital city modern citizen.^^

Uggh, by such sentences i feel my concentration fade away......

I'm really tired, sick and unwell.

I have to take my pain medication.

Next day:
I don't no why, but this food is so delicious that i want to eat it today again.
In the morning (13:27 is morning for me^^) i cook a larger amount of it.

I will eat a little bit and put the rest in the fridge. When it cools down for several hours, some amount of the starch will transform to resistant starch.
Resistant starch can´t be digested and wont make you gain weight. But it makes your stomach full for a long time and is very good for the guts. Resistant starch feeds the friendly bacteria in your intestine, having a positive effect on the type of bacteria as well as their number.
Resistant starch has a lot of benefits:
This includes improved insulin sensitivity, lower blood sugar levels, reduced appetite and various benefits for digestion. And even more benefits!
If your into nutrition and especially weightloss, you should get in touch with resistant starch. Its an effective way to improve the healthy value of a meal, reduce the calories and still eat the absolute same amount. Isn't that great? :-D

Here are the different resistant starch types:

• Type 1: Is found in grains, seeds and legumes and resists digestion because it’s bound within the fibrous cell walls.
• Type 2: Is found in some starchy foods, including raw potatoes and green (unripe) bananas.
• Type 3: Is formed when certain starchy foods, including potatoes and rice, are cooked and then cooled. The cooling turns some of the digestible starches into resistant starches via retrogradation (3).
• Type 4: Is man-made and formed via a chemical process.

Sure, my quinoa, buckwheat and whole grain noodles mix has not too much starch by nature but some.
Producing resistant starch works better with higher starch foods, like potatoes and stuff.
