This was over 3 months in the making. I stumbled across the notion of making an old fashioned pickled egg - I had heard that these ued to be a staple in bars in the early part of the last century, which somehow conjured up romantic images of simpler times.
It’s got to be good.
THE EXPERIMENT: [...]

Do you think of yourself as a crackpot, dear reader?
The survey that I put up 2 weeks ago shows that a lot of you have been on low carb for a while - and you’ve lost weight doing it. And part of the reason you visit the site is to hang out with other folks [...]

When we last left our hero (that’s me), he was at the end of a one month experiment trying to determine to what extent his drinking habit had sabotaged his effort to lose weight after returning to a very low carb regimen. After abstaining from his routine two or three martinis per evening for four weeks, he’d [...]

This is a low carb blog, but some people turn up here for a variety of reasons, one of which is to be entertained in some [...]

The idea is simple: take your TV, your DVD player, your video iPod, your XBOX 360, your laptop, your PSP, and say goodbye to them all for seven days. Simple, but not at all easy. Like millions of others before you, you’ll be shocked at just how difficult - yet also how life-changing - a [...]

As a kid, my family was not a beef stroganoff family. I don’t think my Mom ever made the stuff. I’d certainly heard the name, but had no idea what it was.
A while back I came across a recipe for beef stroganoff that used cabbage as ‘noodles’, which I thought interesting. I finally got around [...]

I’ve come to recognize the sad simple fact that I will never in my life have an original thought. I thought “Graze Anatomy” was pretty clever; apparently, so have a lot of other people (Google it and see). Oh well, on with the post…
For a variety of reasons, I decided it was time to look [...]

Oh, I’m on the Drinking Man’s Diet,
It came from a book I was loaned.

I eat the vodka straight.
The lyrics are from Allan Sherman. For those of us not exposed to this fellow, [...]

Apparently, there are people out there that find this amusing enough that they actually read this stuff, which still sometimes amazes me.
If you’ve read for any amount of time, you probably [...]

The following doesn’t have a whole lot to do with low carb per se, but it does regard some things I’ve been posting about recently, so there’s some relevance if you’ve been hanging around the blog lately.
First off, I’d like to thank my generous host, LCC, for gracefully pointing out that my post tone was taking a [...]
