Things I’m Up to and Interested In

News I’m pleased to announce: Primal Kitchen® took first place in several categories of Paleo Magazine’s annual “Best of” awards, including Best New Product (our ketchup and mustard), Best Paleo Food Company, and Best Paleo Lifestyle Company. Thanks, everybody!

Podcast I enjoyed: The story of the man who survived incurable brain cancer.

Phrase I found clever: “Benevolent pseudo-diabetes.”

I’m impressed: 89-year-old Joe Stockinger deadlifts 405 pounds. Twice.

I have to add the “correlation is not necessarily causation” caveat: Countries with more butter have happier people.

Question I’m Asking

How many unintended physiological consequences would a robotic tail trigger in the human body?

Recipe Corner

• Chorizo “rice” bowls. Or you could use real rice, if you go for that sort of thing.
• Joe’s Special Frittata is actually pretty simple but still very special.

Time Capsule

One year ago (Aug 4– Aug 10)

• Mark’s Resistance Band Workout at Home– My real basic, real quick way to workout in a pinch.
• Alcohol While Keto?– Good idea?

Comment of the Week

“The parking lot at Target is on a slight hill so I park at the bottom, and then I can ride the shopping cart like a scooter all the way back down to my car. I’m going to be 61 soon.
Joy and delight!”

– That’s the spirit, Jen!
