Comment on Europe! by maiyacy

Haha, so funny, because when I was in Prague I had the HARDEST time finding food to eat. It was five years ago, and I was still eating grains, so I essentially lived on a box of Cheerios, fruits and veggies for a week while playing 12 softball games. Oh, and Czech beer, obviously (never before a game). It was awful, except for the night we went to King Solomon Restaurant (kosher!) near the old Jewish cemetery and synagogues/museums (which are amazing, by the way). At the time (2005) there was no beef around (all the mad cow scare stuff), so just chicken, venison, duck, etc.

Glad you’re having fun! We miss you!

I agree with Kitch about the Zone blocks…no matter how much I hate the Zone and all its wickedness. It really does give you a sense of how much of each macro you’re eating.

you listen to Robb Wolf’s podcasts at all? Super great stuff

IF is definitely fun and useful. Make sure you eat lots of delicious meat and saturated fats and some yammy/berry goodness. Them’s my rules

Tara — it’s pretty easy to be all over the map with calorie intake what with a busy schedule and constantly trying to mix it up.

Having started out Zoning myself when I lost all my extra weight — I usually find myself thinking in terms of blocks, even when I’m primal. I’m not trying to keep Zone ratios, but it’s helpful and gives me an idea of where I’m at. On the flip side of things, I think I tend to be pretty boring with my food choices for that same reason.

That said, I’ve been trying to kick it up a notch at least 2x per week and cook a recipe based meal of some sort. So far so good and it’s fun.

Nice!

I have been playing around with a lot of spices…created a spice rub with chili powder, a little cayenne pepper, cumin, and a lot of spicy Israeli paprika. Put it on my skinless chicken breasts and holy moly was it good! Last week used za’atar, a fantastic Middle Eastern spice with hyssop, sumac, and sesame, on some boneless, skinless chicken breast.

I brought back about $50 worth of kosher bison and extra lean beef from New York a couple weeks ago, and made my first batch (some ground beef). Boy, did I miss red meat! If I talk myself into it, I *might* order some kosher grassfed beef online.

Max introduced me to Elana’s Pantry, a gluten-free cooking blog, which has a lot of great recipes as well.

The most shocking part of this post is that you cannot finish a SIDE salad. I usually order the “Main” Salad w/ double meat. Then I go searching for snacks.

Let’s hear it for the Kumamoto! They’ve got all kinds of things going for them!

Priceless.

And of course, color me intrigued.

I don’t know what I would do without sashimi at Fuji’s or Sushi Nobu! I had a work meeting at Crepeville and was very happy with the do-it-yourself omelettes without cheese. I can’t eat meat out, so I tend to stick with sushi, Crepeville, or Pluto’s when eating out, especially now that tofu is out of my diet.

Not in Davis, but in general (or if you’re in downtown Sac), P.F. Changs has a new gluten-free menu has lots of good options if you must eat out.

And Amanda, thank you for sharing that extra-special piece of information. Now I can sleep soundly.
