Grokfeast in Nebraska
What a great Primal Sunday!!! I started this morning by going to my garden in the rain and picking the vegetables that I would be using for my 2 salads. After preparing those, I finished the morning by rubbing a pig’s butt with a seasoned rub. I cooked it all day long, and my house smelled awesome!!! Whomever says pigs stink has never rubbed their butt with such a delicious rub!
After our guests arrived, we primed ourselves for supper with some good old fashioned potato sack races. I figured we may as well use EVERYTHING we have so as not to waste anything, so the potato sacks ended up coming in handy. After everyone was winded, we settled down to enjoy our feast. Our feast consisted of BBQ Rub Pork Butt, Bacon Broccoli Salad, Cucumber/Tomato/Onion Salad, and Baked Peaches with Almonds for dessert. All the food was a hit, and the only creature we had to protect ourselves from while eating was a Tiger (aka: family cat).
We ended the evening with a game of Hide & Go Seek/Tag in the dark. You start off by having someone count, but instead of just finding the hiders, you have to also tag them before they get to base. This game is guaranteed to give everyone a belly full of laughs (even when that belly is already full of great primal food!) and lungs full of fresh air from the quick sprints. A perfect way to end a great night with friends!

I want to play tag with a bunch of primal adults… on the playground…. maybe at Primal Con 2012?!
YAY Nebraska!!!
Where in Nebraska? Are you in Omaha by chance? We have a group that get together monthly and we’d love for you to join us!
That would be so much fun! But, we are south of Lincoln.
(
I’m in Omaha, too. Does your group just get together for Primal meals, or do you go to farmers markets, etc, together, too?
Paul
I’m in Omaha, too! I didn’t know there was a primal group here!! How do I find you guys?
My wife and I are in Omaha, NE and are just beginning to embark on the primal blueprint, and we would definitely be interested in meeting up with like minded people!
Let’s go primal!
Would love to get that bacon and broccoli salad recipe from you
Any of you Nebraskans out in the west part of the state?
I am central. What part of west are you?
If you are in Omaha, please consider joining our meetup group at http://www.meetup.com/paleomaha/
It’s hard to find us paleo folks in the middle of all this corn-fed beef!
