The Left (like Michelle Obama) is still stuck in the long discredited calories/fat = obesity paradigm.

It is absolutely the carbs rather than the fat that will kill you.

Being out west I get ground bison. 4 ounces with small cubes of butter pressed into it to keep it from drying out. Cook at 400 degrees on a griddle plate grill and it’s crusty outside, and juicy inside. Very lean. Toast the buns face down on the griddle, cook some green chile, add cheese and you’re good to go.

I’ve never had bison, but I’ve heard that it is very good. I like the idea of having it cooked in butter with green chili peppers and cheese.

I can get it locally, they even had a herd at Founder's Ranch (Cowboy Shooting Championship Range) about 6 miles down the road from me that broke out and wandered the hills for a few months.(you do not round up buffalo)Here's part of their property, that's what it looks like in my neck of the woods. I'm pretty much a fixture at their sporting clays range, but I also shoot Cowboy long range (think Quigley Down Under).

Sometimes Costco has ground bison and it's pretty good. The butter keeps it from drying out, it's very lean (not as much as elk though). Not sure if you can find actual NM green chile, but I think some is exported in cans or pouches. Here it's a fall tradition to get a sack or bushel roasted.

I saved that and will try it. I don;t know what else is in the horsey sauce, but it’s a favorite.

I am making a tour of the cabernets these days, a glass or two about 5 nights a week. Enjoying it immensely. I have tried some of the dark chocolate and liked it. Perhaps I will pick up a bar?

Any brand you recommend?

We should start a wine thread. the good the bad and the ugly.

[wardaddy]

Same as me

I’ve got a different take on low fat diet but if you get the results then God bless ya

I’m 58.5 but I’m just effing dealing with six oh anyhow

It is what it is

It’s late August or early September no matter how I slice it

Born with bad congenital heart crap but I’m still here and live a lot

Got young kids and still chase my 8 years younger wifey around

I hate whiners and i can’t retire anyhow

Social security would be appreciated

It’ll pay the mortgage

[SamAdams76]

Lindt 90%, Green & Black 85% and Endangered Species 88% are the brands I usually get. I usually pick up what's on sale so long as it's at least 85%.

For comparison, your basic Hershey milk chocolate bar is only 11% cacao and even their "dark chocolate" bar is 45% cacao.

A serious dark chocolate bar starts at 65% cacao and at 85% or better, you are in the big leagues.

thanks and happy happy!

” I prefer raw cabbage, but steamed or in caldo de res is okay, too-there are very few veggies I don’t like either raw or cooked...”

My daughter in law cooks us all a corned beef and cabbage dinner every St, Patrick’s Day. Yum!

I never even heard of kimchee.

Kimchee is one of those oriental foods that service members sample either while stationed in those countries or in places like Cali where there is a large oriental population.It is basically fermented vegetables-usually napa cabbage-with hot peppers, onion, etc. A lot of people like it, but I can’t get past the rotten smell...
