This year’s sock monkey is nearly complete. Been sending status updates to focus group, @drkknits and @mrs_sockvictim. They like it. 🙂

@AusVintageGrrl @drkknits Thanks Tia – fascinating! I’m not full-on paleo; I still have some dairy. But lots of science there. Reading…

---

@AusVintageGrrl @drkknits Wait, no string beans? No salt? SCREW THAT. We have those things. 🙂

RT @mwells121: Right-wingers are less intelligent than left wingers, says controversial study – and conservative politics can … http:/ …

RT @Slate: Want to put Planned Parenthood out of the abortion business? Donate to them: http://t.co/0Rv8m4hB #slatepitches

@KathrynElliott @gusseting Interesting. Hadn’t heard of it. Are “spaghetti squash” available in Oz? I’ve never found them here.

New churrasco joint sharing the venue! Bring on the MEAT. (@ Millennium Bar Pizza Resturant) http://t.co/bZLDjeNL

---

@toastman Now if you go there, you get $25 AYCE meats.

---

@toastman Damn. And this table has an empty chair and everything! (If you want to have us over for sous vide, we won’t say no.)

---

Ola Rio in Chippo: surprisingly decent local churrasco! Top marks for beef, lamb, and chorizo. Okay chicken. Not so hot on the BBQ ribs.

@drkknits Oh noes! You can cancel if you’re not up to it.

---

@drkknits Snook and I are cranking through 3 dozen a week. So many eggshells.

---

Waiting for the Snook. In view of a sausage sizzle. In the rain. This is seriously harshing my buzz.

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits My cholesterol and BP have always been fine on it. Dr K knows more about the scientific research.

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits But the diet is just low-carb in the sense of eating real meats, veg, fruits, and nuts. Avoiding grains & legumes.

---

@drkknits We just get the Lindt 85% block. Single square usually is enough for me!

---

Hourlong walk home from work with the Snook in the rain. There’s my moderate aerobic activity for the day, AND a spontaneous play session!

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits High carbs = insulin spike. And they make me feel terrible and bloaty and ravenous. Protein and fat fill you up!

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits I’m actually reading an interesting ebook on it. Will share it with you.

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Some argue that year round access to fruit, for example, is not how our ancestors would have eaten. #cavemanpower

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Let me assure you, there is no seasonal fruit in Indiana in winter. 🙂

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Regardless, fructose is an -ose = sugar. They give OJ to diabetics in shock. Might as well be a Coke, really!

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Well, that’s why I sent you one of the latest books on the subject. 🙂

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Here’s an intro from the NYT: http://t.co/JifxZvWB

---

Woke up in the middle of a dream that I found a manga version of “The Dark Tower.” Now I’m disappointed it wasn’t real.

---

@brittanieshey I still use Google Reader, despite them tearing out all the best parts last year. #bitter

---

Gearing up for first bike commute in the wet!

---

@gilmae Ugh. North Sydney sucks, dude.

---

Amazing what a difference some fresh air and exercise in the morning makes. I am in a better mood with more focus than in past 3 days.

---

The Snook’s office has free cake today. Some of my co-workers are going to Pancakes on the Rock for lunch. EVIL CARB TEMPTATION ABOUNDS.

---

@stufromoz Very sorry to hear it. I’ll keep my eyes open for you…

---

@drkknits Nice one! I’m not having a Good Day today. Hungry. Annoyed. Hot.

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Been working in the kitchen for past hour.

---

@drkknits Kitchen. Had to get veggie box, then do loads of dishes, then cook dinner. And I’m just not feeling well. 🙁

---

@drkknits I dunno. Tummy was back to being a little stressed. I had to refill my Nexium Rx, so maybe too much acid. Feeling kinda pukey.

---

#paleo dinner: Pork-Stuffed Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breasts (yes, really), Carrot Mash, and Pak Choy. http://t.co/5f9APEZ4

---

@eileenDCoE Maybe AFTER I finish the low-carb challenge. 🙂

---

@randomknits I like that chair!

---

@hexsteph Ha, yes, and I blogged all about it. I’ll find you a link
