I've been fixated on tuna poke bowls lately, but it's expensive to eat out, so I've been making my own. Frozen ahi steaks are much cheaper & you can get 2 bowls from a 6oz steak. My homemade spicy bowl w/ sriracha mayo, avocado, edamame, cucumber, cherry tomato, scallions & rice.

I slow-roasted a 3lb pork tenderloin at 325° for 1.5hrs then at 250° for another 2.5hrs. I used the following Kinder seasonings to crust it: The Blend, Hickory Brown Sugar, Wood-fired Garlic, Buttery Garlic. I made giant baked potatoes with an olive-oil-salt crust. Results:

Take 3 TBSP of the above dressing + 2 tsp of garlic chili crisp oil + 3 TBSP rice wine vinegar + 1 TBSP sugar substitute (sugar for non-beetus folk) + 2 tsp sesame seeds. Mix well. Add 10oz matchstick carrots + 1/4 cup of raisins. Marinate 1 hr.

Enjoy your fusion carrot salad.

Will Jiri fight like a moron with his hands down and his chin high, or will those stinging nettle whips and new college degree lend themselves to some sort of enlightenment? #UFC320

To avoid all the horrifying news that never seems to cease, I made a pot of 3-meat chili (venison/beef/chuck stew meat). I don't like beans, so I use hominy instead. Note the cheese pull from the cheddar I put in my bowl. Simmered for 6 hours in my slow cooker. 👩‍🍳

What are the latest moves the Saudis are making in boxing? How much have promoters come to depend on their $? Why haven't the fighters been paid their antitrust settlement $ from Le v. Zuffa?

@heynottheface & I discuss all this in our latest episode. 2/2

How much has Conor McGregor made w/ the UFC? How about if that number gets totaled with his outside business ventures? What if it was compared with other top tier UFC stars? What if it was compared with the absolute bottom of the roster? How are his business ventures faring? 1/2

How close does Conor get to that $100M he's asking for? Could the Paramount+ purchase of TikTok end up being a platform to push agendas for TKO? Was Tom Brown's letter still a draft when it was released? Why is TKO targeting a specific committee for the new Ali Act bill? 1/2
