Oh, well. Perhaps what they say is true, that there's no such thing as bad publicity. Via conditioning guru extraordinaire, Keith Norris, here's a Voice of America segment from a few days back. Not perfect by any means, ... http://freetheanimal.com/2010/03/more-modern-cavemen-in-the-news.html I just adore Thai Massaman curry. Here's a couple of examples. From the other day, an appetizer dish for friends: meatballs. I used Justin Owings' recipe, with one modification: 1/2 tsp fennel seeds in addition to everything else. And, yes, this recipe makes for an awesome meatza base. I especially ... http://freetheanimal.com/2010/03/everythings-better-with-massaman.html So the interview went well, I think. It's up in the archives already and is about 15 minutes in length I'd guess. You can access it at the archive page, where you'll need to put in the date & time: March 9, 2010; 10:00 PM. It begins at 34:00, so, if ... http://freetheanimal.com/2010/03/the-rob-breakenridge-interview-am-770-chqr-alberta.html Well I suppose I shouldn't chastise the host of the radio show even before I'm on. See the 10:30 slot. It's a one-on-one I'm told with Rob Breakenridge. I suppose I'm going to have to work in my criticism of the "caveman" style, if I might. So I was very pleased ... http://freetheanimal.com/2010/03/they-had-to-say-caveman-dammit.html ~ Very interesting post by Dr. Stephan: The Paleolithic Mind. I think it's worthy to consider that just as we evolved on certain foods we evolved in certain social structures. To my mind, individualist, anti-authoritarian philosophy is an attempt in part to regain our evolved social heritage, just as the various ... http://freetheanimal.com/2010/03/links-quick-hits-5.html Well one post I've been drafting just won't die, in terms of getting the thing finished and just this morning new info from a favorite source to incorporate. In the meantime, some meals. First, after Sunday's take at the Farmer's Market I got right to work on a brisket in ... http://freetheanimal.com/2010/03/two-meals-grassfed-brisket-twice-cooked-scallops-sous-vide.html First of all, I'm going to be blogging about a crock pot brisket & fennel. Most amazing smell as this is cooking, ever. Can't believe it. See the last post on grassfed beef. So as I'm enjoying that smell, perhaps Rotor & Nanuka ("Nuke") are too because they're so friendly. Perhaps ... http://freetheanimal.com/2010/03/sunday-afternoon-with-scotch-doggies.html I recently got an email from a reader asking that if grassfed beef was out of the question budget wise, whether a paleo dietary style still ought to include meat. Of course, a resounding yes. I think that most people will gravitate to higher quality once they experience the results ... http://freetheanimal.com/2010/03/is-grassfed-beef-too-pricey.html I'm really happy about how my parents, having been paleoish now for going on a couple of years, probably, have followed the same path as I. Now they're into farmer's markets, grassfed beef, pastured eggs & so forth. After a fairly late dinner and cards with friends, I didn't hit the ... http://freetheanimal.com/2010/03/weekend-farmers-market-pics.html Given his poor, childish, counter-productive behavior I kinda hate to plug the one of his works that's unparalleled: The Great Cholesterol Con. While there are a couple of other books along these lines, Anthony Colpo's book is the most comprehensive, well researched, and really serves as a great reference. I ... http://freetheanimal.com/2010/03/isnt-it-time-for-anthony-colpo-to-get-a-life.html
