I have been living the Paleo lifestyle for over 5 months now, and I am finding it easier every day to now think about how much I miss bread.

Tomolives, Pickled Green Tomatoes, or “What to do with excess veggies”
Late last summer, I had a bid of a personal riddle: I hate waste. Growing things in a garden has been a battle for each veggie produced. Somehow I had a glut of green cherry tomatoes as I was about to clear a bed in order to plant fall crops. And in my typical fashion, […]
My next project: Canned mullet (Part 3, The Verdict)

My next project: Canned mullet (Part 1, The Plan)
(This one goes out to Mike & Shawn – one will laugh with me, the other will laugh at me) In a previous post, I mentioned spearing a mullet, cooking it over a fire, and eating it. And enjoying it, much to the humor (and horror) of my friends that witnessed it. Not being one […]
