This is my only “regular” weekly post, and it revolves around stores in my area, and food that we eat. We practice “Eat what you store, store what you eat”. Since I try to eat “Paleo”, this means very little food that includes any grains, legumes, or refined sugars. This week, a little change, I […]

A simple recipe: Three plant Edible Landscape Salad for Florida
I heard about this,and want to look into it for several reasons. First, it offers almost year-round availability here. Second, each plant is tasty from the samples I’ve tried so far. Thirds, its highly nutritious, as well as Paleo! The three ingredients are
“Visiting Unknown Places” – Discount Tackle in Ft. Pierce
Florida is FULL of unknown places, or at least places that most folks will drive by for years, and not realize what a gem they’ve been missing out on. Fishing spots, restaurants, mom and pop stores, shady rest spots, and other great places to add to your list of places to have been, at least once. […]
First try at Flounder Gigging
I went gigging Sunday morning around 2am. Me, a couple flashlights, and a three prong gig. The plan was to sneak up on some flounder and sheepshead and invite them to dinner as the guest of honor. I’m very glad I went, even if I went alone.
Build Your Own Pole Spear
I won’t call spearfishing my “current” obsession, but I’ll call it an ongoing one. Most of my trips have been in rather shallow water, using only a mask, snorkel, and pole spear.

Pork Fat Rules! or “How to Render Your Own Lard”
Paleo gold! Well..how about ivory? Whatever, its TASTY stuff that I’ve been trying to get my hands on for a while. Yes, I know you can buy it at any grocery store around here. But did you know every can I’ve looked at in every store in three counties all contain “BHA and BHT” ? […]
Emily’s Hot Bean trick, or “Knickerbean 101”
My youngest daughter, Emily, has been talking about “hot beans” for a couple months now, and has been wanting to show me a “trick” you can do with them. Being a practical joker myself, I looked forward to whatever she was going to show me. And while the trick itself is very minor, it does have […]
Long Term Power Loss, and How We Practice For It
I saw on TV today that another tropical depression was heading in my general direction, though currently not projected to hit near my home, but close enough to adversely affect local weather for a week or two. Flipping through the channels, I ran across an episode of the Simpsons where Bart was trying to deal […]
