OT: Anything Goes 33: What'cha Drinking?

Don’t a lot of the nutrients get pulverized in the blending process and then become non existent?

I know that’s the case with overcooking certain vegetables.

Does it lower just the nutrients or everything, including the fat and carbs? IIRC, cooking meat and fish actually increases everything.

From what I’ve read about the smoothies, I couldn’t find a definitive answer on how much is lost. What I did read is that oxidation decreases the nutrients. They said the only way to get all of the nutrients from fruit is to eat it right off the plant. Once they are picked, they begin to lose nutrients. It was also said that if you are making smoothies, the best thing to do is make it and drink it right away. If you pre-make it and leave in the fridge overnight, it loses something. I liked the smoothie I made last night though, one banana, about 8 raspberries and a spoonful of peanut butter.

I also read that rinsing berries strips them of nutrients, but I mean, you should probably rinse them in case they have pesticides or something.

Yeah, enjoy the weather.

Not looking forward to next week.

Any random recommendations for Palm Springs?

We were there last year, rented a house with our own pool which was nice. The aerial tramway is pretty cool but it is f***ing cold up there. None of the restaurants we went to really stood out. Beautiful area.

I've made the momentous decision to not replace my busted laptop and just stick to a tablet for my internet needs. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that, aside from web browsing, a laptop is almost only a game machine for me, and compared to what I play on console it'd really only be for the massive time sink that is Civilization.

So, why not save money and time? I'll stick to console gaming and just get a keyboard for my tablet and be done with it.

Golf.

 

[hawksrule]

Golf.

Did you buy a set of clubs?

 

[RayP]

Did you buy a set of clubs?

Not yet, maybe this spring. By the time I was ready to the season here was pretty much over.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

High of -5 on Wednesday. f***. That.

 

[RayP]

High of -5 on Wednesday. ****. That.

That sounds absolutely awful.

 

[TorMenT]

High of -8 next Wednesday in Rockford.

 

[BK]

High of -5 on Wednesday. ****. That.

With or without windchill?

 

[BK]

Golf.

Unfortunately I can’t golf as I am here for a weddiGM. Couldn’t even sneak our tennis rackets with as we have the kiddo. Sorry should have noted that.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

High of -5 on Wednesday. ****. That.

I don’t mean to brag, but it was -40 where I am the other night.

 

[BK]

I don’t mean to brag, but it was -40 where I am the other night.

Where?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I don’t mean to brag, but it was -40 where I am the other night.

Don’t live there.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Where?

Canada, but like not even that far north. The weather is trying to kill us currently.

 

[BK]

Canada, but like not even that far north. The weather is trying to kill us currently.

So basically the same thing as Minnesota except better syrup (except Vermont which has the best Maple syrup).

 

[ChiHawks10]

With or without windchill?

Without. The forecast in Chicago for the next week is f***ing brutal.

 

[Blue Liner]

Without. The forecast in Chicago for the next week is ****ing brutal.

It's legitimately awful, even by Chicago winter standards. Brutal.

 

[BK]

Sounds like the same for MN. I think Tuesday/Wednesday forecast is like -23 without windchill.

 

[Teemu]

Already icicles inside my house

 

[ChiHawks10]

Sounds like the same for MN. I think Tuesday/Wednesday forecast is like -23 without windchill.

Yeah, I think we have like -10 on Tuesday without windchill, and -25 overnight low. Then like -16 on Wednesday, and -30 overnight. The next week+ is basically single digits or low teens for the highs and below zero overnight.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

We survived the polar vortex. This is nothing.

 

[Illinihockey]

Cannot believe my kids school didn't get cancelled today. 2 degree outside temperature at 8, -10 windchill. I think they're looking at Tuesday when its supposed to be a high of 7 and thinking that day for sure is getting called.
