    My turn to ask for prayers

    Prayers, thoughts, and angels sent to you, your wife, and the family, Doug. The spirit of those that pass often have surprising ways of letting us know they are at peace. My condolences for the loss. Celebrate her life and the treasured memories she left with each of you. Ray

    What are you watching ?

    Tour de France on Peacock. No Paris finish this year due to the Olympics. Stage 10 of 21 complete. Kind of a yawner so far, but I've watched it every year since 1988. Only highlight was Mark Cavendish breaking a long standing record of OG Eddy Merckx' 34 stage wins. Mark reached 35 total career...

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    Two new favorites from The Distillarium in Yakima, WA: No Man's Whizkey Barrel Strength Rye, and Cask & Spin Barrel Strength Triticale Whiskey. Both are great neat, but really open up flavors with a little water. The triticale, a wheat/rye hybrid, is different and quite unique. The locally grown...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    Test results: hbA1c dropped from 6.3 to 6.1. Total cholesterol climbed by 30 points, but that is not concerning to me. Weight is down to 249.8; that's the good news. The bad is I haven't eaten much since popping positive for Covid earlier last week. (Wife brought it home after socializing)...

    This brisket raised temp way to fast

    Toss out your dependence on meat temp. What you have described so far is thermodynamically impossible. An 11 lb brisket cannot absorb enough heat energy in a 220°F chamber to reach the meat temps you listed in 4.5 hours. Switch to "feel" at this point. Heck, crank the chamber temp up to 300°F+...

    At An Impasse: Looking At High-End Kitchen Knives

    This is an old thread that's been resurrected, but lots of good info. My most expensive knives were $75 each (Zwilling). The rest are a hodgepodge of cheap to decent knives I've either bought or inherited over the decades. They were manufactured in Spain, China, Japan, and the US. Once I...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    The two doctors on YouTube that I've found who provide the best information and training for what I've done so far are Dr. Ken D. Berry, MD, from Camden, TN, and Dr. Sten Ekberg, DC (chiropractor) from just outside Atlanta, GA. They don't use the tube to sell you anything. They might have...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    I was a skinny kid until 9 years old. That's when my dad started making good money and mom started cooking only on weekends. Weekday meals were sugary breakfast cereals and frozen foods. I became a fat kid. Been fighting weight ever since. Both my parents gained weight, too. I had muscles and...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    I'm now sneaking up on breaking into the 240's. I'm back to eating 35g-100g of carbs a day. I just feel better. First week of June I added intermittent fasting (15‐18 hours fast per day) and only eating 2 meals daily, mostly eggs, healthy fats, meat, fish, nuts, and leafy greens. I don't get...

    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    $10/dozen for fresh-laid eggs this morning at a farmer's market. Who knew eggs were such a gold mine? Pasture-raised, organic eggs at Costco are $3.34/dozen when the 60-count are purchased. I buy one every 8-9 days.

    NEVER change grandma's recipe - EVER.

    Dan, I feel your pain. My wife can cook and bake as long as she has a recipe. I've seen her improvise maybe twice in 46 years together. I taught myself to cook after force-eating uni food my freshman year. I had my mom write her recipes on computer punch cards. I've think I've still got 'em up...

    NEVER change grandma's recipe - EVER.

    That cracked my Italian half up, Dan. My German wife, who can only cook if she follows a recipe, insisted I write my recipes down. It's kinda hard to measure what's in my palm, or how many container shakes, or when my brain recognizes "that's enough" of this or that, or number of pinches, or...

    Updated w/Erickson Collection (P-51, B17, Corsair, Skyraider…)-Living Air Museum-Historic Aircraft ….Spruce Goose, SR-71, F-117, & C47A D-Day Flyer

    Great pics. The Evergreen museum can EASILY be an all day event. Love that place. My pics are on my computer, not my phone. Boeing's museum up the road is worth the trip, too. Here's a couple pics of the two sexiest WWII aircraft ever built, the Vought F4U Corsair (namesake for the A-7E I flew)...

    Ahhh. A bit of carnivore heaven rib steaks about to hit the coals on the Kettle. That's a 9x13" pan and the steaks are 2 1/2" thick. $9.99/lb at Costco. 28 hour dry brine with Mont Steak Seasoning. Mmmm....

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    Addendum to my post above: For the last 1-2 weeks of starting my day with 6 scrambled eggs in either clarified butter, bacon or chicken fat, I would not be hungry for 5-6 hours. Today, after posting above, I ate my 6 eggs around 11 AM. My wife came down for lunch at 1215 and I was cooking 4...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    Update: I've been reducing carbs while moving closer to a 0g carb/carnivore program. I've cut out most veggies, but occasionally eat a thin-cut slice of whole wheat bread with butter and guacamole. (See pic for carb/protein/fat average daily intake in grams). I have more energy. My brain fog...

    Long Joke If You Have Time, I Apologize In Advance

    I resemble that remark! At least my hair lasted 40 years longer than my dad's. My doc started out supportive, but turned to canned responses once I started having success without following the pharmaceutical route. My wife has endured daily heart palpitations her entire life. She was an...

    Long Joke If You Have Time, I Apologize In Advance

    I hear ya, Dan. I'm in a plateau stage right now. If I eat carbs the weight creeps up. Another interesting thing I noticed going low carb/carnivore, my gums don't bleed anymore. Teeth have never been a problem for me but flossing always made me look like I'd been in a boxing match. No longer...

    Cleaning stainless steel

    I just learned about Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser from a chef on YouTube for cleaning stainless steel cookware, stoves, etc. $2.48 / 21 oz at Home Depot. I had All Clad stainless steel pans I'd put in the garage because they were disgusting looking. A couple minutes each with BKF and they look...

    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    A 60 count package of eggs at Costco is $9.99, or $2/dozen. Since I eat 5 eggs a day, that's my go-to. 15 minute drive to get there. I used to hate going to Costco. After 4 months of going roughly every two weeks, I don't mind. Plus, we started eating more grass-fed beef. The result? My Winco...
