the cholesterol myth has been finally debunked (took them a long time) but you can eat more eggs now!
salmon is great but you're surrounded by water and don't need an overpriced piece of fish that was flown halfway across the globe-- much less if it's farmed (yuck). sardines and anchovies are great and local; and small fish at the bottom of the food chain has little or no mercury and it's safe to eat and superhealthy. so you can go visit a fish market & see what's good & fresh & cheap. BUT if you don't like fish (dios le da nueces al que no tiene dientes!) omega pills will do, ha ha ha.
industrial chicken in america is a rather nasty product. that tray i baked yesterday oozed more fat than the mutton i had cooked earlier. and it's just a weird-tasting meat (not like free range/ organic chickens, which are delicious). i hope you get good chicken at home. mine was well cooked but... gross. industrial chicken just makes me unhappy.
and yes i cook all weekend for the week-- made a giant onion frittata, tons of granola, a gallon of yogurt, a huge pot of black beans, a tray of bird parts... i'm set ha ha ha.

never had kale.
was der bauer nicht kennt, frisst er nicht.
everyone in europe and their grandmother is afraid of the american chlorine chicken invasion. I have to deal with bad quality chicken on a daily basis, such a weird bone structure - devo-dinosaur mass-produced fucking things.somehow it's
anyways... making a nice batch of chicken stock is my favourite thing on earth.
it's the smoothest of all the stocks there are.
mom made traditional easter fawn on sunday while I had a edible wild herb and plant monday kitchen session at her house.
suprised on how fucking awesome houseleek can turn out. nobody seems to know that you can eat this stuff. it's like a mild artichoke of some kind... basically it pretty much looks like an artichoke without a stem (botanically it's not a thistle though). long live the sedum!
took some of them with the roots with me to vienna now... gonna grow some and continue experimenting.
