Carnivore Dreams – Snowy Wednesday

Just kidding. It is snowing, but it's not sticking. It's been a couple days of apartment books and bill paying and pill filling and laundry. Tomorrow house cleaning. So many people are in and out of here, it seems like you get constantly interrupted with health issues. I stopped and watched Governor Witless who at …

Carnivore Dreams – Day 12 maybe?

My great grandfather's boat, last steamboat in inland waterway. I didn't include the new fridge. A week from today we close, at 2 p.m., on our refinance so we can keep the house in the family. It's spring and the deck needs staining, trimp touch up, landscaping, garden planted. But at least this is as …

Carnivore Dreams – Thoughts

Jordan Peterson (no I know this is not Jordan; it's Ernest) said "to not say what you think is to kill your unborn self" to deny yourself or some such thing. I'm certain that's the drive for those of us who become writers. It was certainly true of Ernest Hemingway, who started every writing day …

Carnivore Dreams – Moving Forward Day 12

Photo by Alex on Pexels.com It's going to rain all this week, they say. Some wildflower seeds are germinating out there; I planted them today, along with some petunias under my grow lights in the basement. I harvested some of our first leaf lettuce from the aerogarden and mixed it with some store romaine for …

Carnivore Dreams – Hemingway again

I like the young photos of him. When he still had his illusions. I have a special place in my heart for him because in highschool, we were given an assignment to copy him and the teacher read mine to the class. I was so embarrassed I had to leave because I was in love …

Canivore Dreams – Easter Dinner

Courtesy Steele House Kitchen Red Wine Braised Leg Of Lamb • Steele House Kitchen Happy Easter or Passover or Independence Day or just Sunday if you don't celebrate. It's a lovely Easter day here in upper Michigan, warmish, low 60's. Trying this recipe. Never done this flavor profile with lamb. Wine, tomatoes, tomato paste, raisins, …

Carnivore Dreams – Day 10

Maybe. Well, I probably won't post much about politics going forward- after this -- because it should be painfully clear what a nightmare we are now embarked upon: A president with Parkinson's (or Lewey Body Dementia--I'm familiar with it all--the falls, the mask face, the stuttering, the losing words, confusion), open borders to criminals and …

Carnivore Dreams – Diet Ponderings

Going to do one of these for Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, D'Argtanan couldn't get the bone in on time, but it should be ok, they say. I also ordered racks of lamb, so will decide which I feel like doing. Some rice and veggies for those guys. Ok, I upped my ribeye consumption. My latest try: …

Carnivore Dreams – Day 9 sort of – a cheat and ruminants

Well, our neighbor made us banana nut muffins which I resisted for days. Had one small one last night. And I also had some flour mixed in with the gravy on the pulled pork. Both bloated me and gave me a terrible side ache. But my new plan is to eat just ruminants. Theory is …

Carnivore Dreams – Diet Ponderings

Sean Baker is the doctor who essentially started the Carnivore Diet movement. I don't remember his reasons for moving to this diet, but most people seem to make a journey from Paleo, to Keto, to Carnivore, probably because they can almost feel the rightness of it. I did not feel much better on Paleo and …
