Carnivore Dreams – Beans and Lettuce – Mother’s Day Wishes

I think I might have made a mistake buying climbing beans --didn't know I was -- and they need to go into the garden soon or they are going to get sad -- and I am at LEAST ten days from being able to put them out there, maybe two weeks.  My tomatoes are also …

Carnivore Dreams – Auto-immune issues and Melatonin

Relief. I have figured out my gastritis issues. I have had allergies all my life.  I have Hashimoto's disease which is where your body attacks its own thyroid gland.  I've been suspected of having an auto-immune problem that attacks the liver, though since I was on the carnivore diet I felt great. So I just …

Carnivore Dreams – Deadfall

Dead-fall She woke, tried to roll over, but her arm was trapped beneath his massive body. He smelled of sweet grass and sex. Her arm was long past prickly; a dead weight attached to her shoulder.  Was it part of her body or his?  She tugged, heaved backward with no luck.  Rather than wake him, …
