Cooking in our Cave: October 2009
http://cavecooking.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Cooking in our Cave. Sunday, 11 October 2009. A commenter asked me what I found to be the greatest benefits as a woman doing Primal eating. I started to post a long answer in the comments and then I decided I'd also like to do a post. Not all of these benefits are exclusive to females, of course. Benefit 5: Less severe PMS/cramps. Sorry boys, this may be TMI for you. My moods are much more even, I don't break out, and my cramps are much better. Not gone, mind you, but better. I'm not perfect. I drink...

Cooking in our Cave: April 2009
http://cavecooking.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Cooking in our Cave. Wednesday, 15 April 2009. Not that I'm anywhere near being ready to date again yet, but I freely admit that with a break up comes some old fears. My former SO was really, really supportive of the way I chose to eat. But not every former SO has been that way. I've been called controlling, anal, unable to relax. After all, why can't I just chill and have a couple slices of pizza? Why do I have to insist on ordering a salad with chicken? Don't I realize I look disorderd? There seems to ...

Cooking in our Cave: March 2009

Cooking in our Cave. Monday, 30 March 2009. Of breasts and thighs. Aren't I naughty ;)? I'm talking poultry today, because I had a revelation over the weekend. The chicken breast: much maligned by foodies, the dieter's cut when boneless and skinless, the safe order in restaurants, etc. The chicken thigh: much praised by foodies, the dieter's nightmare no matter what, the rarely seen option in restaurants unless you just see 'chicken' listed at your local cheap places. The trick with cooking a thigh at ho...

Cooking in our Cave: She returns!
http://cavecooking.blogspot.com/2009/10/she-returns.html
Cooking in our Cave. Friday, 2 October 2009. Wow, I seriously doubt anyone is even checking here anymore :). But I was googling something today and a link to my poor little defunct blog popped up and it felt oddly like running into a friend you haven't seen in a long time. Slightly awkward, but nice too. Besides, I couldn't let that slightly self pitying last post be my final statement. Not my style :). I like my dairy. It tastes goooooood. You know what tastes really good? In any case, the gai lan is re...

Cooking in our Cave: Low and Slow
http://cavecooking.blogspot.com/2009/04/low-and-slow.html
Cooking in our Cave. Tuesday, 14 April 2009. The credit for the cooking technique I am going to discuss today goes entirely to Richard at Free the Animal. I love his blog, and I highly recommend checking it out if you're at all interested in Primal eating. He and I have gotten into it a bit over CR, but he is a very reasonable, rational, and generous blogger. As a side note, I should mention I have never gone through a vegetarian phase. Dyed in the wool carnivore here, folks. To each their own. Serve wit...

Cooking in our Cave: Sunlight makes me happy
http://cavecooking.blogspot.com/2009/10/sunlight-makes-me-happy.html
Cooking in our Cave. Monday, 5 October 2009. Sunlight makes me happy. So, off the topic of food, but generally Primal, let's talk a little about the Sun. When I lived in the Northeast, or Midwest, I spent at least three months out of the year miserable and cranky. The cold got to me, but it was really the lack of sunlight. Even today- perfectly blue skies, but I couldn't go out without a sweater. And yet, here I am, writing about my good mood :) It's not even that I get to go out in the sun very much...

Cooking in our Cave: January 2009
http://cavecooking.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Cooking in our Cave. Thursday, 29 January 2009. Care and feeding of sick SOs. Between getting everything packed up (finally) and the SO's bout with some bug (vibrio, salmonella, rotovirus- hey, it's anyone's guess. I vote vibrio, but only because it sounds cool), I'm only up to a short one today: what to feed nauseous sickies. But I think it causes you and the sickie more stress than necessary if you get into a battle of wills. Just a thought. Wednesday, 28 January 2009. It's all in our heads. Much of ou...

Cooking in our Cave: December 2008
http://cavecooking.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Cooking in our Cave. Tuesday, 30 December 2008. Very brief mini rant. I must have had this conversation a million times, and I'm going to summarize it briefly:. 1) Peanuts are NOT nuts. I know they have 'nut' in the name. Chickpeas have 'chick' in the name- do you think they're little peas made of chick? I thought back and it was true. Now granted, San Francisco is probably not unique- in all urban areas where one can walk a lot and have access to high quality food, obesity rates are likely lower....
