I’ve covered opening green coconuts, and briefly touched on opening browns ones in the comments on the same post, but recently my friend James over at Survival Punk made coconut bars and had an adventure getting the coconut open and the meat out. Apparently, this + this = the need for this. 🙂 Doing what I can […]

My take on “Rabbit starvation”
Stumbling around, I came across a very nice website called The Wannabe Homesteader, and found some great info about starting tomatoes. The next day’s post was about rabbits, specifically, Why Rabbit Meat is Not The Best Survival Food. The author raised the question, “..should a person include rabbit meat as a back-up plan for survival situations? […]
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
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” ? […]
Thrifty Food Buys for 31`July 2012
This weekly post will revolve around stores in my area, and food that we eat. Saving money by buying in bulk is no good if you are storing food you will never eat. “Eat what you store, store what you eat” will be my guidelines. Since I try to eat “Paleo”, this means very little […]
Quick Dehydrator Biltong
Biltong is a cousin of jerky, but incorporates vinegar into the process, and omits nitrates and nitrites, common preservatives found in jerky, at least today’s version. Another difference is that biltong is typically not smoked, something I thought I would miss. I don’t, though I would like to try a bit of smoked biltong eventually. […]
Crock pot pulled pork and Paleo Tortillas
I LOVE barbecue pork – ribs, pulled, sliced, it really doesn’t matter. But being the only REAL meat eater in the house, I’ve long since given up on spending time with a smoker or charcoal grill. I get my fixed whenever I can, wherever I am able to, and not as frequently as I’d like. […]
Copycat Larabar recipes
I was doing a job for a friend of the family, and found they were also Paleo eaters. The wife mentioned Lärabars, and I was unfamiliar with them, but inquired about where I could get some to try. Trying one, I was like a kid in a candy store. Just sweet enough to take the dull […]
New Weekly Feature, Thrifty Food Buys for 18 July 2012
(yeah, the name sucks, got a better one, send me an email) I just realized I had yet another Wednesday night conflict – my next post, or go through the flyers posted tonight to see what I’ll be trying to stockpile for a rainy day. Then it hit me, why not

Paleo Mole Crab Poppers or “With Baited Breath”
I love to fish, it’s a serious distraction to me. And while I try to learn as much as possible, I’ve grown to understand that they call it “fishing” rather than “catching” for a reason. I was fishing late one evening about 18 years ago with my oldest daughter, catching small
