It's 4:45ish and I'm now getting around to writing this. I have a feeling that this will be the method of my choice. (reporting the last meal with next day) That depends on how my evenings with school go.

In regards to last night's dinner, hey, it was a free day, what can I say. And ordinarily I wouldn't have eaten so much potato salad, but Grandma Williams made the hands down best potato salad.

I'm getting fancy with the spices! Tarragon, turmeric, coriander, and, the most potent, cumin. Hopefully soon I'll experiment with my curry. But back on the spices, I'm exploring recipes that call for those spices, so it's fun to experiment with the flavors. Today's Puerto Rican stir fry called for the last three, but in hindsight, could've used more salt. It was incredibly aromatic, but not nearly as tasty.

Well, I thought of a topic: resources - where I am getting all of my information and basing most of my decisions off of.

Everyday Paleo (cookbook by Sarah Fragoso)

The Paleo Diet (general book by Loren Cordain, Ph.D.)

The websites above are used in decreasing amount from the top down. I use marksdailyapple the most because I found it first and therefore, think of it first when I have a primal question.

Robb Wolf owns a gym, wrote a book that I'd like to read because he seems more down to earth that mark, and endorsed the cookbook above.

Nerdfitness: don't go there unless you consider yourself a computer/gaming/science nerd. There really isn't much there to benefit from.

If you do go research this topic by using any of the above, what you'll find, especially with marksdailyapple, is that this diet is natural, unprocessed, and extremely high fat. Example: dairy is not promoted here because, let's face it, a caveman would not have taken a cow hunting just for milk. If you choose to use dairy, it is recommended to use whole milk with omega3's. Or just whipping cream.

But don't worry, and keep in mind, take everything with a grain of salt. As a comparison, The Paleo Diet (TPD) vs marksdailyapple, TPD goes through nuts and oils ranking them good and bad by ratio of Omega3's to Omega6's. Marksdailyapple does not. (Omega6's in this context are bad polyunsaturated fats. You already get a bunch of them already) The cookbook is more like marksdailyapple, but I agree with TPD and Robb Wolf (Omega3's are better) and so the coconut oil is out.

I'm... distracted. And jumbled. I guess I need a specific question in order to provide a specific topic. Border's and guidelines are so nice. Especially for the engineer.

Ask a question, get an answer.

P.S. Back for more: I'm reading more Robb Wolf, and he seems like the most "normal" guy drinking coffee, working out, and so on. Caffeine is a taboo to a lot of primals.
