I forgot to pick up my pastured eggs CSA. At least I know it would go to a good cause (my farm donates the food that is not picked up)

I'm feeling deprived....by lack of hunger!

I love food so much, always have. I used to snack, nibble and binge on whatever I wanted. This "waiting till I'm hungry to eat again" is trying my patience. I know there's a steak or a roasted chicken waiting for me, along with a tasty salad topped with avocado, eggs and bacon, or a chocolate coconut smoothie, or some roasted veg...I don't even crave the processed crap food anymore. I want bacon-wrapped whatever and I want it now. looking at primal food porn just pisses me off. There are not enough meal opportunities in this lifetime to try all the recipes I've bookmarked

I raise eyebrows when I buy a shawarma and leave the pita bread on the side.

My friends go blank when they ask about eating primal. Then, after some seconds, I get the standard question: "so you don't drink beer?... What do you eat then?"

I remember the first questions/requests I made at this Mexican shop by my folks' house: Do you cook your food in Lard? And I'll have the carne asada plate, no beans, rice, or tortillas. They asked me if I was sure, two or three times..

Yep, I get the same thing at our local Mexican restaurant! Usually fajitas work for me, sometimes get a taco salad and just leave the fried tortilla bowl. But ALWAYS get the questions!

Shopping is too quick now - i dont get to spend my free time reading the brightly coloured, beautiful packaging in the supermarket isles.

An i no longer get to wash and recycle the plastic trays that supermarket meat comes in, and i miss teasing the dog with the bloody pad that they stick under the meat to soak up the watery blood

I wanted to make some humorous complaints, but after a full minute of contemplation, I only could come up with loose clothes. No complaints from me! Hehehe.

It does get expensive to replace wardrobe

And I don't get the exercise of walking up and down every aisle any more. One trip around the perimeter of the store and I get my butter, eggs, meat, and produce all in one loop. I guess I'll just have to spend more time walking outside in the fresh air and sunshine.

I don't know what to do with all my butter knives. Now that I don't butter toast or make sandwiches, they never get used and are wasting my drawer space.

I just had to exchange the smaller size jeans I bought for an even smaller size jean as the former were already baggy a week later when I got around to putting them on. Geez. The gas money and time it took. . .

I still use mine for softer cuts of meat & to fish refrigerated bacon grease out of the jar (easier to put in the pan and the wider-than-a-steak-knife surface area works pretty well). I use it for butter into the pan sometimes too, since it's also refrigerated.
