Liverwurst is one of my favorite ways to eat liver.

Well, I set an 8 year PR in the overhead press.
Must be the onion power.

Upping my 3lbs of onions per week to five.
Are just plopping an onion into your blender when making a protein shake? I'm not sure if it will go best with the vanilla or fruity pebbles whey...

I'm just chopping them up and eating them raw with stuff.
Green onions and green eggs and ham.

I seem to have found the tipping point for my ability to metabolize onions.
Yesterday, I ate 4 home made hamburgers using 1.5 lb / 24 oz of 90/10 grass fed beef -- 2 for lunch, 2 for dinner. Each burger used 6 oz of hamburger.
I used 1/2 white raw onion across all 4 burgers.
Last night I felt wired, my pores, sweat and skin smelled of onions, and I had trouble sleeping.
It reminded me of the ayurvedic description of onions, which I had previously poo-pooed:
Hurm, sounds familiar.
Maybe before I just wasn't eating enough onions to get the described effect.
So time to lower the dose a bit.

So heads up, quercetin is neuroactive and has similar but less potent effects as caffeine... but a half an onion shouldn't have all that much.

It might have been the cumulative dose over several days that peaked last night.

Liver and onions to build testosterone, fried taters because they are the best, and carrots to get rid of the estrogen.
