Cooking with Peter 3 - Bro's Night

Last year we planned, cooked, filmed and ate a whole Pizza Burger which we though would be delicious. It was, however it was the ugliest food on earth and was falling apart by each second. The reason why we planned it was because Bros love food, and well we though we could be creative as well. Last Friday we made it again, and needless to say, it was beautiful. We put bacon weave, cheese, tomatoes, chicken nuggets and a huge ground beef pattie in it, allowing it to be called The Pizza Burger. We all worked hard on it for as long as 5 hourss including shopping and fooling around, figuring a way to cook it. My mom made us the pizzadough this time which was fluffy and white and perfect. The bacon weave was fried in a toast maker, onions were caramelized in a pen, the pizza was cooked in the oven but only after we cooked the meat well. I actually thought th pattie will fall apart, but after we cooked it with a lid on, then without for about an hour or so it came out pefrect, stiff. We were all proud of our first pizzaburger and so decided to meet more often to cook something epic together. Here's the only but amazing picture Neda took :) (She is considered as a Bro along with Shaun, Daniel, Stefan and Me)

Cooking with Peter 2

I actually don't know it is a Hungarian meal but I only heard us doing it so far. If I had to translate it it would be 'Layered cauliflower'. By its name it usually has layers in it(Layer of cauliflower,layer of sourcream, layer of bacon and fried breadcrumps, then repeat). And if there are no more layers, cover the whole thing in cheese, than put in in the oven and let it cook until the cheese gets crispy and brown. So we made it, but unfortunately I only realized I didn't take pictures only after the cooking, however I tried to get a normal shot with my phone on one of the slices.

It was actually amazing. I finished about 5-6 of these slices today... My next food might be anotherone like this, but called Layered potatoes, which has the same structure, but includes slight differences which make it a whole different :)

110kg - earlier than I thought

On one of my chest-days at the gym I decided to go ahead and try 107.5kg benchpress. It was'nt easy but I did it and I thought why not try 110kg? So I did, and I suceeded. I needed Shaun's help to spot me in case I drop it but it went okay. I was still concerned though... I decided not to reflect it on my blog, since I wasn't sure if it was a one-time thing or I really can do it. The next time we hit gym with Shaun I went straight for a 110 and just for the sake of proving it I recorded it. Now I'm confident about posting that I did bench my goal, stepping to the next part. I think the reason why I could do it was the big change we decided to make in our workouts. Instead of the regular 4sets/8-12reps we are going for 10/3reps which is basically rather strength training than bodybuilding (there is a difference :)) Anyway, I hit my goal and my next one is to bench 112.5kg in about a month or two. It's harder than one might think but I'll do my best :)

Here's the video of my benching my last goal:
