The Meat, The Meat, The Meat

As MacArthur would have said if he had had a Bar-B-Q show on PBS. So, as my wife was in a cultural panic, her husband telling her what we should eat, in bewilderment I asked her, “Is it that hard to understand? Buy protein, not root beer popsicles and fudge bars.”

So she came home with a peperoni pizza.

The Metro Mountain Bikers’ monthly meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday, evening at Magellan’s/M2 on Main Street in Waukesha. If we go and buy a pizza it will be a thin crust.

The best spaghetti sauce I have ever had is made with ground venison. So I bought some ground elk at the Winter Farmer’s Market Saturday, located in an auxiliary building at the Milwaukee Domes. You can sign up for their weekly e-news letter to find out what is available week to week. Parking is free.

I also bought some beef liver from a grass fed cow, or rather from the farmer that took his liver. Last week we got us some Lamb at the Farmer’s Market. Real Lamb, less than one year old, unlike the mutton from New Zealand that I heard has been marketed as Lamb here in the US. Sweet savory mouth watering Lamb, and that was just the stew meat my wife put in her curry. It was delicious; Wisconsin Lamb. They give a special feed to the Lambs a few weeks before slaughter to create a consistent flavor as they supply many restaurants. It includes some grains, so it isn’t bulletproof, as in the diet, but did I mention that it is delicious.

You can also buy fresh farmed fish. Farmed fish is also not bulletproof. I almost bought some trout but since my wife hasn’t been around the last few days it wouldn’t have been cooked up too soon. In a documentary we watched on the Paleo Diet; “The Perfect Human Diet”, they found that modern man from the Paleo period, existing together with the Neanderthals, outlasted the Neanderthals. The only difference in their diet, determined from bone testing, was fish. In the orient fishing is often considered a form of meditation.

You can find much of what is at the Farmer’s Market at a place such as Whole Foods or The Outpost, but the open market is a nice way to start a Saturday. You can find locally grown fresh vegetables, better than organic (you have to check that stand out, there every week), and stuff like Hickory Syrup (the syrup guy only comes in once a month).

I went to the gym today. A bit of weightlifting, and some chocolate whey protein mixed, in non-homogenized batch pasteurized cream on top whole milk, when I got back. Whey protein is bulletproof. A first entry in my fitness log for 2015. For now I will keep my log on my Yahoo Group page. I was debating whether to transfer it all to a spread sheet on one of my older computers. Yahoo has really been dumbing down their features over the years. They had a perfectly good spreadsheet function that they changed to something that freezes up and cannot collate by date; only by order of entry.

Now I have one more fudge bar to dispose of.

But not before the $86 question: What were my three most favorite WORS races? Still the same question. Check out the Charity Jackpot Page link in the sidebar to possibly triple the amount.
