Things You Should Know About Introverts
From MeetTheIntroverts.com 1) We need to recharge alone.
This right here is the cusp of the entire introvert v. extrovert debate (if there is one, anyway) – Introverts need to be alone to recharge. We tend to get completely worn out by socializing. This is basically what it means to be an introvert.
2) We don’t hate being around people, but we probably hate crowds.
I love being with people, but if you drop me into a large crowd I instantly feel like I’m alone and invisible. I try to avoid situations where I feel that way, so I may decline your open invitation to some random event. It doesn’t mean I don’t like to be around you, it just means I like to have more control over my surroundings.
3) We don’t mind silence.
I can sit beside you in silence and not think we are having a bad…

Real Women of Philadelphia: Creamy Cauliflower Soup with Bacon, Cheddar, and Chives
Animal-Assisted Therapeutic Interventions (a.k.a. Bring your spoiled animal to work day!)
Love this post!
I bit my tongue.
It may be hard for many of you to believe (especially those of you who know me well), but I actually bite my tongue a lot!
Okay…maybe I didn’t completely stay silent…but I kept my smart-ass comments quiet enough that only my wife could hear them.
Okay…I mostly kept my, aforementioned, comments quiet enough that only my wife could hear them…then we had our lunch break and I ranted for the allotted hour about how the speaker had a great understanding of the human-psychological/legal sides of using animals in therapeutic settings…but how his understanding of animal behavior, and the history of domestication of animals was almost completely incorrect, and pure piffle! PIFFLE I say!!!
(I also, intermittently, ranted about the quality of the “bison-burger” I was eating and how “chef’s apparently don’t understand the meaning of “medium-rare” these days”, the recent study featured in a Scientific…

How to Roast a Pie Pumpkin for Puree
It’s fall, my favorite season in Michigan!! That means it’s the start of Comfort Food Season – yay! Time to give the slow cooker residence on the kitchen counter for the next six months and fire up the oven for slow roasting large hunks of meat and baking cinnamon spiced (gluten-free) treats. Yes, this is my happy place.
So I know there are thousands of tutorials on roasting pie pumpkins for puree. Why am I throwing another one out there? Hmm…why not? This method works for me and better yet, it’s really easy! Equipment required is minimal and pretty basic – a sheet pan, parchment paper, a large knife and cutting board, a spoon, an oven, and a food processor or heavy duty blender. The food processor may not be in everyones kitchen, but don’t fret, I will give you other options!
So, another question – why not just use…

Homemade Mayonnaise
Making your own condiments is so easy, it just doesn’t make sense to buy them. Especially when you can control the quality of ingredients and avoid all the nasty fillers, preservatives, vegetable and seed oils, soy, and high fructose corn syrup. Mayonnaise is quick and easy. Literally everything in the blender, less then a minute, done. Because homemade mayonnaise is made with a raw egg, it will only keep for about a week, but it’s so tasty it’ll be gone way before that!
Homemade Mayonnaise
Ingredients:
- One whole pastured egg
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 cup olive oil
What to do:
Place the egg, lemon juice, and dry mustard in a blender and blend for 5-10 seconds. Continue blending while slowly pouring the olive oil into the egg mixture. Blend until thickened, about 20-30 seconds. Store in a small glass jar or storage container…

Turnip Latkes
No carrots daikon, or applesauce; maybe add cauliflower…
A few days ago I posted a recipe for “Primal” Breakfast Casserole. It’s made with turnips and it was delicious! Although turnips have a slightly sweet flavor, they were a great substitute for potatoes in that dish. A few days later, Mark’s Daily Apple posted a recipe for Vegetable Latkes. The Polish girl in me cannot resist a good potato pancake – preferably slathered in sour cream or applesauce. Not very low-carb, but so good… Anyway, I had a few leftover turnips and decided to try out this recipe. I was pleasantly surprised. Although not exactly like Grandma’s or The Polish Village Cafe’s, these are a very good replacement for low-carbers.
Turnip Latkes
Ingredients:
- 3 cups grated turnip, carrot, zucchini, daikon radish
- 2 eggs, beaten
- pinch of sea salt
- pinch of black pepper, freshly ground
- Ghee or raw milk butter for frying
What to do:

Why you should not do low carb, especially whole foods low carb…
Why anyone would even consider a lifestyle change is beyond me. It’s so much easier to not change anything and sit wallowing in self pity when we feel bad about this or that or that or this or what ever seems to be holding us back from getting a grip on happiness.
Rumor has it that there are Type 2 Diabetics who have totally lost symptoms of their disease while losing weight and having super spectacular blood sugars by just changing their lifestyle, cutting out sugar, starches, and grains.
Don’t try it though, it’s just not worth it, and there are no doughnuts.
Besides, I read on the internet that “low carb weight loss is just losing water weight” and we all know that if it’s on the internet, it is true. Just look at my before and 2 year anniversary pic:
On the left is December 2010, right is…
