I've recently spent some time looking into the Paleolithic diet. The Nom Nom Paleo Blog, with its show-stopping photos, could make a believer out of anyone. The diet's starch-free regimen could offer some relief for my autoimmune bedevilments. Aw shucks, I decided to give it a go.
I found out that it's easier to get excited about recipes, and even to shop for the ingredients, than it is to cook them all up. But even so, I've made headway. I made the much adored Braised Cabbage the other night. I didn't have lard so I used ghee. I really liked the outcome but hubby wanted a saltier flavor. Should have used that lard.
Today I was at Trader Joe's with my shopping list. Seeing no evidence of lard on the shelf, asked the stocker, "Do you carry lard?"
The look on his face was priceless. I may as well have asked him if they carry ax murderers or pedophiles.
"No," he managed to huff.
I guess this is one Portland hipster who is not up to date. Meat-heavy Paleo eating, along with full fat cheese and lard, is the new vegan. Get with it, dude.
