Out here grass fed beef is around the same price as buffalo. I would rather buy the buffalo as it's much healthier, very high protein omega 3 and low fat.

True, Adam, though I imagine its easier to get milk from a tame Holstein for butter,than a buffalo !

I can't stop laughing, Les. I had this funny, optical illusion thing going with the teapot. I can see it now though. Thanks!

Hi White!

We sure don't see much buffalo here, Adam. It's always nice to try different meats.

I'm thinkin' so, Sharon! Too funny.

Lol Sharon although it would be kick to try milking one.

O man I'm sorry Patrice maybe one day I'll send you some overnight of course.

Im sure it would be a kick, alright !

Ive heard that you can't roller skate in a buffalo herd, either.

But the steak is good low carb meat

It sure is

Okay, I decided to tackle to low carb cauliflower potato salad thing. Walleyehunter01 mentioned cauliflower potato salad and it sounded good, so I did some studying of all the existing recipes I could find and came up with a recipe of my own. I think this will be really good. I tasted it before it even went into the fridge for the flavors to combine and it was good then!



We'll have some with supper tonight and I'll report back. I'll have to see if my recipe needs any adjusting!

In an attempt to improve on perfection:

You could spin or roll your raw eggs a bit to center the yolks. Or, simpler still, is to store them tip side down. That is especially useful for those free range eggs that should be held a couple weeks to ensure easy peeling of the shells.

I agree, T-Rex. Always pointed end down. That makes a nicer deviled egg too, with the yolk more centered in the wider end of the egg. Thanks!

I really liked the cauliflower potato salad. It worked out really well. That would be a perfect side to go with some brats or burgers too!

Here was a wonderful low carb meal the other night. I had to revisit the browned sage butter and this was perfect. Cornish game hens grilled with some smoke and covered with browned sage butter, and bacon wrapped asparagus.


We had a nice little side salad with that - with our first green onions from Zim's garden.


Man, that was good!

Oh boy that looks amazing

Very good Patrice, I am one of those that has to watch the carbs. Also salt. Do you know of any salt substitutes that will make food taste better? I need someting like that. I've tried several salt substitutes but none of them does the job for me.

I've been buying great, well marbled rib-eye steaks at Safeway for $4.77 a pound for the past week or so. I've never seen rib-eyes so cheap. No reason to not be eating low carbs with steak prices like that.

Lovely lovely stuff Patrice !!!

I want to make that cauliflower potato salad !!

It looks delicious.

I have two cornish game hens that are wanting that Browned Sage Butter all over them too.

Avocado and Leeks or Scallions do so well with everything.

I just found out about the many amazing properties of dandelion greens- I picked a bunch from my yard and put them in cold salt water to lesson any bitterness from the big leaves- it worked great. My salad was absolutely wonderful. I will be eating these forever more in future times. I had no idea the value they have in all ways for health-and cancer fighting too. No wonder so many centurions harvest them worldwide every day.

Waggler, ya can't beat those prices.

I have a local butcher who deals in Angus steaks that I love too.

Black & Gus......lovely names

Thanks, Adam!

You know, Madtrapper, I am a salt eating maniac. Everyone jokes that I salt my food until it's the right shade of white. One thing that I've found that makes food seem to me like it needs less salt - rather than a substitute that is supposed to taste like salt - is lemon. any recipe or sauce that has a kick of lemon juice seems to help for me. Might be worth a try. I also buy the Salt Sense that is 33% less sodium because it's a blend of potassium chloride and sodium chloride. It still has sodium, but less than regular table salt. It's not bad. I hope that helps a little!

Wow, Waggler! $4.77 a pound. That's the kind of deal where you have to go buy up a bunch to wrap up and put in the freezer. Nice!

Thank you, Sharon! I'll get the recipe for the "potato" salad together if you'd like it. That browned sage butter actually stands out more on poultry than it does on red meats. It will be hard to beat those game hens., I went and picked up two more yesterday!

Thanks Patrice, I'm afraid you won't be using all that salt for much longer. I have tried lemon pepper, but it doesn't seem to do much for me, maybe I just need to put on more.

Here's my first real meal since Saturday. It was low carbs until I started adding tortillas.

On the way from the dr i bought this. ..Bottom half of chicken (rotisseried), Spanish rice, and burracho beans, lettuce, Pico de galleo.

So many nice meals to admire

Patrice, I would love that recipe please for the "potato salad" ! Thank you !

Earlier you mentioned an interest in the Kerrygold butter- Im not sure but that it is probably required to ship cold. I would think there is some near to you- have a look in your grocery outlets first- and many times, you can request a special order and they will gladly do that. Or maybe they will have their own special Wisconsin version of grass fed butter. I wouldn't be surprised a bit if thats the case.

Wisconsin has all the neatest dairy products !

As for that Ruby- she needs a good talking to ! Tell herself one day those wee peanuts will be all big girls and they just might decide to keep her out !

Kerrygold is sold on Amazon. But an article I came across says Kerrygold is illegal in Wi. because it does not meet the " 32 quality points that each butter specimen must meet before gaining state approval. Grass fed dairy probably has a legal significance greater than any scientific advantage.
I have no problem cutting all sugar out, hardly eat it any how but giving up tatters and onions and biscuits is hard to do.
Lemon pepper don't help me either madtrapper, lemon juice or grated lemon peel does replace salt in my taste. Cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar will too on some foods.
