Good think he keeps it very low carb and especially, no starches of any kind. :)

Photographic Evidence: Low Carb is Over!

December 30, 2013 38 Comments

The low carbohydrate diet is deserving of ridicule in this area until it makes these critical distinctions. It never will, of course, and therefore, will always remain rather ridiculous.

Tahoe Travel, Food Pics, a Book, and The Quintessential Major Award

December 25, 2013 18 Comments

Headed up to South Lake Tahoe end of last week for three nights. Not a bad view.

That was at the brand new The Landing Resort & Spa. So new, in fact, that we were there on opening day and were the very first guests to check in. My valet ticket was 0002.

The owner is Greek and so naturally, the restaurant is Jimmy’s. They weren’t quite prepared to open that first night, but we were on hand the next night for their opening under a limited menu. Bea and I shared all three dishes.

Guess what? Denise Minger’s book is finally done: Death by Food Pyramid: How Shoddy Science, Sketchy Politics and Shady Special Interests Have Ruined Our Health. My copy has arrived. She’s next for a review, after I get to John Durant’s book, and then Chris Kresser’s.

Here’s Denise’s own blog post about finally finishing it.

I made gluten free French toast this Christmas morning as a special treat. Can’t even recall the last time.

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/8 cup water
  • 1 TBS butter
  • 1 TBS honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 cup tripple sec (orange zest will work too)
  • 4 slices of bread

Put the butter & honey in first, nuke to soften, mix everything else in together, dump in a baking dish and let your bead soak up for about 30 seconds per side. I cooked it in the same fry pan I cooked the bacon in. Drained the fat leaving just the coating and the bacon residue, then added an additional pat of butter.

Finish off with a pat of butter on each slice, toped with pure Canadian maple syrup that you’ve heated (I nuked 1/2 cup for 45 seconds and that was perfect).

Finally, we had Christmas eve dinner at the house of good friends last night who served excellent cornish game hen with wonderfully crispy skin. I didn’t get a picture of that, unfortunately, but I did of their Major Award.

I’m told it’s fra-gee-lay. That’s Italian.

OK, have a nice Christmas holiday with your family. Bea & I are headed off to visit some family for a few, then it’s the rest of the afternoon seeing Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street. It’s 3 hours!!! The last time I saw a Christmas day movie in the theater was actually Scorsese’s The Gangs of New York. I’m expecting no less of a spectacle.

A Brief Word on Resistant Starch Critiques

December 22, 2013 82 Comments

Inevitably, critiques of resistant starch are beginning to show up here and there. This is a good thing. Everyone—and I mean: EVERYONE—is highly biased, cherry pics, etc.

Must Read. Type 1 Diabetic’s Resistant Starch Experiment With Continuous Glucose Monitor Data

December 21, 2013 60 Comments

This is so huge that I'm beginning to believe that what Tim "Tatertot" Steele and I have been promoting in therms of Resistant Starch via nearly 50 posts and thousands of comments since last April, may constitute nothing short of a revolution for 300 million diabetics worldwide, 30 million in the U.S.

About FreeTheAnimal

I'm Richard Nikoley. Free The Animal began in 2003 and as of 2020, has 5,000 posts and 120,000 comments from readers. I blog what I wish...from lifestyle to philosophy, politics, social antagonism, adventure travel, nomad living, location and time independent—"while you sleep"— income, and food. I intended to travel the world "homeless" but the Covid-19 panic-demic squashed that. I've become an American expat living in rural Thailand where I've built a home. I celebrate the audacity and hubris to live by your own exclusive authority and take your own chances. [Read more...]
