That’s 19,341 elevation. One of my offspring lives and works in Aspen CO. He climbs fourteeners for fun. But the offspring is 27.5. This dude is 88!

This blog started as a repository for family recipes. Over the years since inception this thing has become a mash up. I’ve spent the better part of my working life learning about what kills people. My other blog didn’t feel like the right place for stories like this. So if we’re passing along article links about food you’ll find plenty here.
I hope readers find this type of information useful. I’m not going to discourage anyone from eating nasty fried fast food chicken nuggets processed in China from unsanitary chickens raised and slaughtered in Chile.
It’s your personal choice.
These restaurant burgers are over the top – Nutrition Action
Mac and cheese, chili, eggs, hash browns, omelets, buffalo wings—probably not what you’re thinking of when you hear “burger toppings.” What happened to the good old days when a burger was a patty, a bun, and maybe some lettuce, tomato, and mayo?

I like the 2900 calorie platter!
What’s In Your Hot Dog?

Where do we begin? The results of this study were surprising to these authors. Although the absence of identifiable squamous mucosa definitively refutes the oral and anal mucosa hypothesis, the truth, if possible, seems much worse. The surprising lack of skeletal muscle may have been depressingly expected; however, the wide variety of tissues present and the extensive amount of fat making up the majority of the specimen were not. And as stated before, the origin of the recognisable vegetable matter does not bear thinking about, but one result of this study is that these authors may never eat hot dogs again.
(Not) Your Grandmother’s Dressing – the day after at 10pm
Seriously?
(Not) Your Grandmother’s Thanksgiving Dressing must have been a hit. I wanted to make half the recipe. The Boss vetoed that. I recommended making a half recipe to The Architect. He ignored my recommendation too. I admit it. I was wrong.
I wonder what would happen if I doubled the recipe next year…

Chunky, creamy, or powdered? A nutritionist chimes in about powdered peanut butter.

I saw a huge plastic container of this stuff in the store the other week.
I also saw peanut butter flavored beer in another store this week.
Think I’ll stick with regular old fashioned salted roasted peanuts and a nice craft beer that tastes like…beer.
