First, here's the animal that was killed for our dinner last night. It was back in September when my brother took that mule deer and there's still meat in family freezers. In fact, I'm using two pounds of the ground tonight for spaghetti. Here's how it went down. I first took the rou...

In this final post on supplementation (vitamin and others), I'm going to put out the exceptions to my general stance -- that's not necessarily strictly against it, per se -- that most of it is probably unnecessary. But first, a quick review. In part one, I laid out the general position...

This is not Paleo, but it's not crap, either. About 3-4 times per year I can't help but prepare my favorite dish: Masaman beef curry, which you can get in most Thai restaurants, but none as good as mine. I've been eating and making this for myself for 20 years. When I go to a Thai restau...

A while since I've done this. I really don't want to make it a regular thing, but rather something I do, simply, when I feel like it. I've spent a lot of time this weekend in the mountains thinking and deliberating about where this blog goes over time -- including my entrepreneuria...

Here's an old favorite that I cooked up last night. It's a "mom" recipe (except for my own stylings) and I've been doing it for years. This is very high on the comfort food scale. It has only four primary ingredients: two long polish sausage (polska kielbasa, preferably gluten,...

A number of people have asked me for the supplements I take, so I'm working on that now. May not be ready for posting until tomorrow, however, as I'll be getting in the car soon for a drive up to the mountains. In the meantime, dinner last night was Atlantic Cod poached in a coconut milk gre...

" How a Clash Between Our Genes and Modern Life Is Making Us Sick ." Freshly downloaded to my Kindle 2. Here's some of the descriptions and endorsements. ~~~ Human beings have astonishing genetic vulnerabilities. More than half of us will die from complex diseases that trace directly t...

I had wanted to do another installment of held over questions from readers this morning (sorry, folks), but I just have to get this out now. Actually, I caught wind of this a few weeks back, set it aside, forgot about it, and reader Ankit brought it to my attention in email last night. Before I get ...
