    Whew finally broke a 66-day weight loss plateau. Went to the farmer's market and saw fresh figs. Couldn't resist. Decided to make the following, a recipe I've been making for about a year. It's not an exact recipe, so it's easy to make. Keto Bacon Onion Fig or Apple Jam This make about 2...

    Keto Dark Chocolate Fat Bombs

    So, I'm into my 22nd month of a low carb/keto/carnivore-ish/intermittent fasting diet. For some reason my weight AND muscle mass has increased by 5 lbs since May, but my measurements have remained the same. I'm not complaining. I'm 70 and losing muscle mass with age, aka sarcopenia, was...

    Sous Vide Jumbo Chicken Breasts

    I've never been a fan of the jumbo boneless/skinless chicken breasts because they always tasted tough and stringy to me, no matter how they were brined and/or prepared. They are commonly found in my area at Costco and WinCo. They were on sale recently, so time to see if the sous vide machine...

    Price Fixing in meat (all types), eggs, and dairy industries

    The investigations are starting on artificially inflated prices in the above industries. I just read a third article today about why prices are so high. I have no problem when supply/demand are impacted by market forces, but to artificially jack up prices, manipulate supply/demand, and collude...

    $20/lb for Select grade Prime Rib? Nope.

    Every year around Christmas I buy a 3 to 5 bone Select grade prime rib. I slice it into Cowboy steaks, vac-seal each one, and throw them in the freezer. My wife and I get two meals off each steak. The price has varied from $6/lb (3‐4 yrs ago) to $9/lb last year. This year. The lowest I've seen...

    Pork Loin Ham-ish Not Quite Jerky - OMG!

    I've been lazy making my own jerky, but after turning a top round roast into jerky recently, I went thru it in record time. Beef was too expensive at the store, but whole pork loin was on sale. Time to make some pork jerky...or so I thought. I cut the 8.54 lb boneless loin into 3/4" to 1"...

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

    I don't really have a sweet tooth, but loved carbs like bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, beans, etc. More than a decade ago, my 6.7 A1C labeled me as pre-diabetic. Doc prescribed Metformin. Nothing really changed, but at some time afterwards, I started suffering from crippling anxiety. It got so...

    Anti-inflammatory Effects of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - WOW!

    I have lived with major inflammation and agonizing shoulder pain for years. I purchased enough ibuprofen to supply an aircraft carrier, which made me wonder what I was doing to my kidneys. Last night I saw an ad on YouTube that claimed a ton of "too good to be true" health benefits of extra...

    Simple Way To Eat Your Veggies - With Sausage and Stovetop Stuffing!

    I really don't like eating cooked veggies that are steamed, nuked, or cooked on the stove. They taste bland to me and no amount of seasoning makes much difference. BUT, my wife insists I need them for fiber and vitamins. I agree, but still am not a big veggie fan. Roasting is okay. They are...

    Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny - Fun movie!

    Don't listen to the media downers. I had ZERO interest in seeing Dial of Destiny after the Crystal Skull mess, but my wife really wanted to see it, so we did. I gotta tell you, it was fun. Sure, it was a lot of shoot 'em up and totally implausible scenes, like diving to 300' on a hooka rig...

    Easy Breakfast Sausage Rolls

    One of my favorite YouTube channels is Glen and Friends Cooking. Recently he made sausage rolls using puff pastry. I wasn't about to make puff pastry, and when I got to the store I learned they didn't carry it. As I stood looking at the canned biscuit section, inspiration hit. A cheap can of...

    Chicken Cracklins - Who knew? And why didn't you tell us?

    I like salty snacks, have for decades, but have gotten tired of chips, crackers, nuts, etc. No high blood pressure problems to worry about. Weight? Need to lose plenty, so was looking for something new that doesn't pack on the carbs or spike my blood sugar. Jerky is great, but time consuming to...
