Liese, here's a blog post by an athletic woman who is trying the Paleo diet: [link]
She really likes it, although I know there are questions about the, um, philosophical/anthropological underpinnings of the theory. Still, more vegetables and less processed carbs sounds like a great deal to me.
In fact, I just started making dinner, which will be pancetta with sauteed kale and scrambled eggs. But I will probably have some TJs macarons for dessert...
Green olives have almost no net carbs, so they make a great snack food on a low carb diet.
I am looking at recipes to make a shopping list for the nanny tomorrow. I need a board name for the nanny, maybe Poppins or McPhee, since she's British.
I'll post things that sound good.
Oh, I like McPhee.
oh the weather map looks like a pretty rough batch is passing over NOLA now - yellow and orange patches.
My favorite easy crock pot meal involves throwing frozen chicken thighs in with 1 onion, 1 can of coconut milk, tomato paste, curry powder, cardamon, ginger, cayenne pepper and 1/2 stick of butter. In 4 hours you have butter chicken!
that sounds yum.
Stay safe NOLAns!
I DID know that The Tennessee Waltz was one of TN's state songs. I was born there. But, I mostly hear the Homer & Jethro parody version when I hear the melody. Thanks, Daddy!
The family car was a Volkswagen Bus from the time I was 4 until I left home for the Army at 20. My father tried to teach me to drive stick, off and on for a year. It took my Mother 1 weekend. We yelled at each other a lot, which my father never did, but I was damned if I wasn't gonna prove my mother wrong and get the hang of it just to shut her up!
eta: Instead of yelling, father just flinched a lot.
msbelle, it is MAJOR YUM!
I have contemplated paleo (or something similar) but not actually tried it.
Who has suggestions of awesome places to see/shop at/eat at in Portland, OR? It has been decided upon as the last-minute replacement for New Orleans. Not quite as exciting, but easy to get to. And tax-free shopping!
My plan is to stay home the next few days, try to get some crap done (like oil change for my car) and then go try to have some fun in Portland.
