Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Grass Fed Beef

The Dr. Weston Price website is a fascinating treasure trove of information about healthy fats. This article explained a lot about grass fed beef, why it is different, and how to age it and cook it yourself.

News to me: the omega-3 fatty acid content often trumpeted by grass fed champions is not very much higher than grain fed beef, and both are very low. Message: eat a varied diet including grass fed beef and cold water fish.

Grass Fed Ground Beef and Weekend Grill


The raw milk people had some beef on sale this past Wednesday. I decided to break out my cast iron grill because my roommate was out of town and would not be there to witness the massive amounts of oil spattered all over the room. I use grapeseed oil to grill, and I love burnt cabbage and broccoli. The beef tasted very nice especially at the great price.

Heirloom Zucchini


I didn't know that zucchini is one of the most genetically modified foods until recently, so when I saw organic heirloom zucchini at the Farmers Market, I decided to try it since it was the same price as the rest. It was green and white with thick skin and a coating of soft reddish spines that rubbed off when I washed it. The taste was, of course, very similar to normal zucchini, but stronger. I had it with spinach and sole.
