The triple (+1) version of the double I ate last time. A little too much for just a normal day, but after a long day in the mountains, this would be perfect. What I ate today to cleanse.
Presenting the 120/80 + 1 from Big Al’s: 60/40 patties 60% beef, 40% bacon, doubled up. +1 bacon on top. bonus: truffle fries! Not pictured: the Reuben dog Lindsay and I ate shortly afterwards.
Actually, they are not Phil Robb’s ribs. He got the recipe from a guy that he used to work with in Phoenix while at Honeywell-Bull named James Ljunggren. Phil simply made them famous in southwest Fort Collins, and I’m posting the recipe here for posterity. For quantity, assume between 1/3 rack-o-ribs per person to 1/2 [...]
I rode a fair amount today so I finally felt justified in eating the infamous Double Down. Apparently you can get them in grilled form too, but if you’re going to KFC, you may as well go all out. The couple in front of me briefly considered mixing the “buns” and getting one grilled patty [...]

Maybe a tiny bit, but only because of the lack of data. The article then goes on to say things like: The hexane limits are precautionary. No study [...]
Today, I present the recipe for the quick and dirty chicken stir fry dish I make rather often. It’s quick, tasty, cheap, and paleo. Total cook time including prep is less than 30 minutes, and total cost is less than $5 per person per meal. Ingredients from store $4 – one package chicken thighs, look [...]
I’ve recently switched from fish oil to krill oil for several reasons, all of which can be found on Michael Eades’s Protein Power blog post Why krill oil?. The summary is that it’s much more potent than fish oil because the good omega-3 fatty acids it contains are the same shape as the fats in [...]
As part of my paleo diet experiment, I’ve also been taking a lot of fish oil pills. By “a lot” I mean 10g — that is, 10x 1000mg — pills per day. Of course, before I started, I did what any sane person does these days: pseudo-research on the internet, reading random websites and taking [...]
