OMG that is the best stuff ever. I'm going through withdrawal from pasture butter.

Eh...I didn't really do much substitution. I didn't do well with carbs so I just stopped eating them and starting eating more veg, more fruit and more meat. There are some decent pastas out there - Trader Joe's brown rice pasta is good. But as far as bread-like products, most of them suck. And since sugar doesn't…

Oh I totally get it. I rarely tell people I eat Paleo, because that would imply I follow the actual Paleo diet. Those claims are ridiculous. The only "diet" I would ever suggest is learning intuitive eating. It requires eliminating highly processed foods, because they're engineered for maximum addiction, (aka…

I'm allergic to wheat, and rice generally gives me horrible acid reflux and sometimes headaches. I'm ok with corn and rye, although I don't eat much of either.

Ah yeah, I don't generally eat dairy, with the exception of butter and occasional goat cheese. Cow's milk doesn't agree with me.

I eat pretty damn paleo, but that's because it's what agrees with me. Most grains make me feel wretched, and too much of any kind of high-carb food makes me sick.

I'm pretty sure there's some latitude in what people choose to publish. I doubt anyone's forcing these on him.

This is one of the things about the gifting season I'm not that familiar with, since I don't celebrate Christmas. But I do know how frustrating and hurtful it is when people don't hear you. It really sucks.

Graciously say "thank you" and then donate it to a women's shelter or food pantry. Both always really need toiletries and/or treats.

Ugh. It reminds me of the two time in my life I shroomed. There's the part that happens after you eat them, before the fun starts, when you're slightly nauseated, a little disoriented and REALLY spacey.

It drives me insane. That is the one thing I really dislike about this city and the area in general.

Ugggggghhh. Chicago is so frigging racist. It's awful. So sorry.

I don't get the whole "people feeling something is racist doesn't make it racist" angle.

I declare 2013 The Year of The English Pelvis. So it is said and so it mote be!

Benedict is Cumbawkward. Tom can hiddles me any time. Seriously. Any time. Call me, Tom.

The dream headache! Isn't that the best?
