I have been making these for years - I don’t know why I haven’t posted this one yet. When my family and I go to the beach, we always make these because they are so portable. They beat regular hard-boiled eggs because they need no extra flavoring - the flavoring is already in them.

OK, this time I think I did it.  I Googled it, and NOBODY has used “Carbin’ Footprint” as far as I can tell.  I’m copyrighting it here and now, so if you want to use the term legally, send me an email and we’ll talk.

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.
