    Food for thought for the day.

    The men of the Lewis and Clark expedition averaged 9 pounds of meat per day, Elk or more accurately the American Wapiti was by far the most common meat they had during their trip. The nutrition facts for elk meat (for 9 pounds) is as follows. 4680 calories, 54g of fat, and 900g or protein.

    Gee I wonder how they didn’t have complete liver and kidney failure?

    Notice how low the fat amount is, this was a problem for them and they would supplement their fat intake with, bear fat, beaver fat, salmon, and whale blubber. They also would eat the marrow from the bones of the animals they killed, along with the organs of the animal which would add to the fat content of their meals.

    The job on base I will be employed with NCI Information Systems Inc and the position is an IT position, job title System Administrator. AT&T I will be contracted through Collabera and the job title is an IT position, job title Level 3 Proactive Support and the job with Save A Lot is a direct hire. It is also an IT position and the job title is System Administrator.

    I am filling out the paperwork for the job on base with NCI, that is where my heart is telling me to go after lots of thinking, pondering, "sleeping on it", etc...........

    I'm with cbarber. I'm not quite "there" on Offal yet. Although I have started looking at ox tail & thinking "Hmm... that might not be so bad if cooked right"

    LMAO! I bought a few lbs of oxtail at the market last weekend... having the last tiny bit for lunch today. If you cook it right it tastes just like a regular beef roast!

    It's spring... and any excuse to whip out the egg nog is a good one! What better than St. Paddy's & Easter? Here is my Primal/Paleo recipe for SUPER NOG!


    1 half pint heavy whipping cream
    6 eggs
    Vanilla
    Nutmeg

    Separate eggs from whites. Whip whites, set aside. Whip cream until thick, then mix in eggs and spices. Fold in whites. Drink! Enjoy

    1280 cals, 25g protein, 7g carb, 116g fat (64 saturated)

    This is a quick, fast way to get your protein & fats in. If you have it in the morning, you'll very likely not feel hungry until dinner. It's been that way for me! :)

    I have whipping cream, eggs, and swiss cheese--just trying to find time to make a crustless quiche.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day, all! I listened to one of my Celtic music CD's this morning to get in the mood for the day. Sure wish I could watch my DD Irish dance today.

    My great grandfather immigrated from Ireland. Everyday I have a reason to be in an Irish mood! ;)

    today I'm wearing my "Everyone Loves an Irish Girl" t-shirt, and this morning I had on hubby's Lucky Charm cereal pajama pants.

    Corned beef and potatoes are in the crock pot. I will have kraut instead of taters.

    Oh and we found mint chocolate gelato at the grocery store last night that has very few ingredients. I will have a bite. I've been begging hubby for an ice cream maker for years. He hates my 5 ingredient rule, so I think he's close to breaking down & getting me one soon!

    My grandma use to make liver a lot. I might have to play with it a little. Anything can be buried in a soup. Heck, I'm going to concoct a soup/broth from dried anchovy, long choy(bok choy but it midget form), and curry paste over the weekend Not sure which paste yet. Depending how strong the broth is I may turn in to a creamy soup with coconut cream/milk. Maybe a little tamarind to sour it up.

    Liver is really good when cooked properly, and really yucky when overdone. I haven't had any in a long time (family wouldn't eat it), but might have to get some.

    My crustless quiche Lorraine turned out well. Cut into 8 servings, the calorie count is perfect for a breakfast dish for me, and the sodium is reasonable, even accounting for the bacon and cheese. The recipe calls for added salt, but I had made a notation to "use less", so I eliminated it altogether, and it tasted just fine.

    Pam, I just noticed the crossfit part of your sig. :laugh: :laugh: Soup experiment in progress. Holding off on curry paste need to use up some Jalapeno. Added Carrots for color. Might have to open a window. Them little anchovies are a bit stinky.

    This is an amazing recipe! I made it for my husband and I last night :smile:

    It is a little time consuming, but very, very worth it. I reccommend doubling the recipe like I did so that you can have extras to grab and go!

    Another step taken to get my head used to seeing more fat in my diet. Bumped to 50%. Carbs knocked back a bit more to 20%(the morning English muffin will have to go when I am out of them).

    Dropping the oats starting today. They were good while they lasted.

    I've only had bread once this week, and it really makes keeping the carbs down to 100g much easier.

    Anyone here read Omnivores Dillema? I was reading a thread about nutrition books and this one kept coming up. So did the China study, which I know about. Just wondering if this is another hack book or something worth reading.

    Just driving by to say "HI".... getting ready to take a vacation later this week so work is hell with all the "prep" for being gone.... :grumble:

    Planning on making some "floopsie bread" tonight and then making sandwiches to take with us Thursday when we travel... after that it's "best judgment" as everything will be eaten out. :noway:

    The next time you are craving Oatmeal (or still strugging to give them up), try tossing 1 oz of each of almonds, macadamias, and hazelnuts in a food processor, grind them up, toss with some heavy cream, and warm it up. Serve with a little more heavy cream and cinnamon. It's delish!

    That does sound good. I don't really miss oatmeal. I was adding it in as a way to wean myself off the other crap I was eating. Somehow that makes it easier for me. As of this week my only starchy carb is sweet potatoes. I may go off those for awhile starting next week.
