Is Going Gluten-Free the Next Fad Diet?
2011-09-18 05:04:00 I discovered by accident about 10 years ago that I was gluten-intolerant. I just stopped eating anything that contained it and never looked back.

Is wheat MURDER or SUICIDE?
2010-09-05 02:58:00 A week or so ago, somebody in the letters section of a Salon article linked to a post in this blog. I spent most of a day reading it from (raw vegan) start to finish in order to get the background for the technical posts on the China Study, something I had actually never heard ...

Gluten-free dinner: fruit and cheese plate
2010-06-11 07:01:00 I was out ambulating, as I am wont to do. This takes a bit of time, given to thought.

Gluten-free breakfast: sausage rice
2010-06-09 22:51:00 Today I cooked up a batch of brown rice (1 cup dry rice) in the rice cooker, chopped up some leftover Italian sausage (2 sausages), and fried up some chopped onions, red pepper, and jalapeņos together in the sausage dripping. Yum. It made 3 hearty servings. I’m not on a low fat diet. Amazon.com Widgets ... More About: Breakfast , Free , Rice , Gluten Free , Sausage

Gluten-free breakfast: cereal, bananas, and cashew milk
2010-05-31 19:02:00 As part of my continuing series about what a gluten-free person can eat for breakfast… I just felt like making cashew milk last night and having cereal with those ripe bananas this morning.

Progress update on the no-heartburn diet
2010-05-26 06:08:00 Back in February I told about how, after a few sleepless nights with heartburn (common to those with gluten intolerance), I swore off eating at night altogether. Added to my habit of not eating until noon (I often sleep late), this meant I only eat between the hours of noon and 6:00 or 7:00 PM. ... More About: Diet , Update , Progress

Quick and easy Thai curry sauce
2008-08-13 05:04:00 Definitely quick and easy. Authentic? Not remotely. I’m not Thai , don’t blame me for liking this. Spicy? Somewhere between spicy and really, really hot. So if you like Thai food, you’ll probably like this. If you haven’t had Thai food and aren’t into spicy-hot, it’s probably not for you. 1 can Thai curry paste, any ...

Whipped coconut cream
2008-07-16 18:07:00 Years ago I used to belong to a Yahoo coconut oil group, where people would discuss the miraculous health benefits of coconut oil and ways of consuming more of it.

Chocolate coconut sorbet
2008-06-05 06:16:00 A reprise of sorts. That coconut sorbet recipe has been incredibly popular, and I thought I’d take it to the next level. So I made it with chocolate.

Gluten-free vegan chocolate waffles
2008-03-23 18:50:00 I know it’s been a while, but unlike other times of redolence and maybe debauchery, I’ve been working hard trying to perfect recipes worthy of posting.

Types of rice
2008-03-01 19:53:00 A reader asked me about sweet rice flour, which he had been unable to find in his area. I suggested looking in Asian stores for “glutinous rice flour”, which is another name for it. Sure enough, he and the clerk finally found it, although they were at first understandably concerned by the resemblance of “glutinous” ... More About: Rice , Types
Toasty Triangles
2008-02-29 21:11:00 I’m not sure what to call these babies.

Askesis, Philosophy, and Carnivorism - the Blog
2007-12-01 18:41:00 I have had more than an idle interest in what they call Paleo diet, particularly as I’m of an evolutionary bent, and I believe that many more things can be explained through evolution than commonly are considered. In theory, the Paleo diet attempt to recreate the diet that our species evolved on, given that we ... More About: Philosophy , Blog
Candied pecans
2007-12-01 04:06:00 I made a crustless pecan pie for the holiday. The inspiration was in the right place, but it was very hard to dish up and eat. The pecans on top were truly addictive, though. So today I thought it would be a good time to try a variation on caramel and pecans. I toasted 2 ... More About: Pecans
