I will do any number of very unbiblical acts for a chicken pot pie.

In celebration of National Nacho Day yesterday: “Carnivore Nachos”

Pork rinds topped with ground bison, grassfed sour cream, a blend of shredded cheeses and some egg whites for extra protein.

I didn’t make this…

…but I SURE enjoyed it!

Still staying silly carnivore, so I went to Texas Roadhouse and got a full rack of ribs, no sauce. For my sides I said “All I want are the hardboiled eggs that come on the salad: can you get me a bowl of that and we’ll call that my 2 sides?” Dude actually hooked me up and got me TWO bowls of the eggs: one for the salad course and one for the meal. I also asked for some real butter, which is the white stuff in the container on top and dolloped on top of the eggs.

It was absolutely delicious.

Also, I’m asking for this for Christmas. I already own the first book and it was amazing.

Brah. Why aren’t we neighbors?

The egg thing is brilliant, and now I need that book also. I’m reading Redwall to my son, and we got the cookbook for that.

I have a feeling we would be fantastically awful influences on each other, haha. But if you’re ever in my neck of the woods I will gladly have you over to enjoy the fantastic beef that Nebraska has to provide.

Glad you enjoyed my “egg hack”, haha. The biggest thing I’ve learned switching to this way of eating is that SO many places will work with you if you ask.

You’ll LOVE that cookbook. Or, at least, I loved the first “Heroes Feast” book. We still make the “Halfling Oatmeal Sweet Nibblers” in our house. Wife and kiddo love it. And if you actually play, a really cool idea is to make a dish to munch on during the gaming session.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

I currently play an elf barbarian who was adopted by orcs as an infant after they massacred the village. Removed an eye to Gromesh, red leather armor, +2 white dragonbone greatsword. Orcish racials.

That’s a great backstory. At risk of taking this topic and making it a DnD one, your elf had to have been raised by several generation of orcs due to their vastly differing lifespans, which I’m sure made things interesting: growing up and watching his “parents” constantly dying and having to get passed off to a new set while he was still struggling through his own growth. The perfect fuel for a very tragic and damaged barbarian.

Time to start a dnd thread. Gotta level up str and con.

Back to the food porn.

The “shrimp and hot root soup” is still a favorite of my dads to cook when the family gets together

Shrimp and hot root soup looks good. Any suggestions for a shrimp alternative since my son is allergic?

Personally I’d use almost any white fish. Should work as well with anything tender, e.g., “sole” or cod, as it would with a denser fish like mahi mahi, halibut, swordfish. Would stay away from oilier fish.

I didn’t know such a thing existed. I loved the Redwall books, and always thought their meals sounded great.

They’re great. Some of ya’ll did not read books as children where more characters died than Game of Thrones, had better food than Food Network, and it shows.

Have had some unexpected down time and a need to clean out the freezer in anticipation of hopefully a good hunt, so been killing it for meals


4 lamb chops (air fried) with egg whites, pork cracklin and grassfed sour cream


Air fried pork ribs with egg whites and grassfed sour cream


7 air fried chicken wings with the usual suspects (all air frying has just been spray duck fat and salt…and delicious!)

3 piedmontese grassfed new york strip kabobs, applegate farms bacon, Don Lee farms chicken sausage, and a 5 vital farms whole egg/2 egg white omelete with some jarlsburg swiss on top and new zealand grassfed cheddar on the inside

Happy hunting! May your aim be true, and the backstraps tender. :yum:

This was a 3kg ribeye joint - sous vide’d it for 6 hours at 49C then sliced it into steaks and finished it off on a very high heat for one minute per side
