THE PERFECT HUMAN DIET

The USDA is now advocating a plant-based, very low-fat diet. What can we do beyond writing letters? Here’s a chance for you to help get the truth out. I blogged about a fantastic documentary called “In Search of the Perfect Human Diet” in a previous post after I had a chance to preview an excerpt: http://carbwars.blogspot.com/2009/10/in-search-of-perfect-human-diet.html. Some of the world’s leading scientists in human evolutionary nutrition were involved in this international endeavor, including: • Dr. Loren Cordain (author of The Paleo Diet, Colorado State University)…

Bill the Butcher

We have a new butcher shop in my area called Bill the Butcher. William Von Schneidau is a master butcher and professional chef who says his mission is to bring truly great meat back to the neighborhood. He sells local, grass-fed, dry-aged meats, free range poultry and eggs, natural pork, wild seafood and house made bacon, pate, and sausages. He also features dairy products from a local creamery that come in glass bottles (with a hefty deposit) and fine wines and cheeses. Every time I’ve…

FINALLY FINISHED!

The manuscript for the new book went in on Friday of last week. I missed the deadline, but not by too much. Now I just have to sit tight for a while and wait to see if I get a thumbs up on it as it is, or if I will need to make revisions. Wish me luck!

UPDATE ON BOOKS AT AMAZON

Amazon is selling Carb Wars again. They say it can be delivered by December fourth. Thanks for your patience.

NEW BOOKS ARE IN!

Amazon has been out of Carb Wars for some time now, thanks to a snafu at the fulfilment center. A second printing is now finished and a shipment of books went out to them last Wednesday. It should be delivered in the next day or so. However, the Carb Wars page on Amazon.com still says it takes 1 to 2 months to get a copy and warns that if you order one, it will not arrive in time for Christmas. I hope that message will…

LOOKING FOR CARB WARS?

Due to an inventory mistake at the fulfillment center, Carb Wars is temporarily sold out. A second printing is underway and more books should be available soon. Amazon does not have any books in stock, but will continue to take orders. (My Amazon page now says, “usually ships in one to two months,” but it shouldn’t take nearly that long.) Regular bookstores may still be able to get copies from Ingram by special order. The Cookbook Marketplace, www.cookbookparketplace.com, also has a few left and they…

THE EVOLUTION OF THE MOOSE by AIDAN

Guest blogger Aidan, age 10 BACTERIA HORNUS MOOSIUS REPTILLUS MOOSASAURUS MOOSUS MAMMALIUS MOOSE SPACEUS MOOSUS MOOSUS CYBORGUS I apologise to any of you who have been checking my site and finding no new posts while I’m maxed out as the deadline for my book approaches. Above is something I thought you might find amusing. Aidan, my grandson, drew these pictures for his grandfather, whose favorite animal is the moose. (c) 2009, Judy Barnes Baker

HOW THE OTHER HALF EATS

Menu blogs have become popular with low-carbers; Jimmy Moore chronicles every bite, usually with pictures, and many of his readers are following his lead. Even Dr. Michael Eades did it for a week on his Protein Power blog. Now Ruth Reichl, famous restaurant critic, author, and current editor-in-chief of Gourmet Magazine, has given us a peek at a few of her daily menus and a chance to see how our choices stack up to an unabashed gourmand and foodie. She patronizes the world’s best restaurants,…

OK, THAT’S ENOUGH SNOW AND CHRISTMAS WRAP UP

It’s still snowing. We’ve been stuck at home for most of the week. We put chains on the tires in order to make it to my daughter’s house yesterday, but we had 6 more inches of accumulation while we were there and the trip home was a bit dicey. Today we got another 5 or so inches more than what you see in the picture above. The Seattle area seldom gets more than 2 feet of snow and they are not equipped to deal with…

WHAT’S YOUR OMNIVORE SCORE?

“The Omnivore’s Hundred” was posted on the British blog Very Good Taste by Andrew Wheeler back in August. It is an interactive meme for bloggers. He lists 100 things that he thinks every good omnivore should have tried at least once in his/her life. Some of the items are ordinary, some are dangerous, some are exotic, and some are just plain bad. Check out his list below and see how you do. So far he has had 1,111 responses. I have eaten 64 of the…
