The wheel of life turns! When my parents bought their house about the late forties there was a chicken coop at the end of the garden. They never used it though some of the neighbours kept hens. And bantams.

I just heard from our old neighbours, the yuppie couple who we sold the house to have just bought a henhouse and installed some chickens . . .

We tried the “raw pie” this week, as we got blueberries relatively cheaply at the local mega-lo-mart. Unfortunately, as written, the recipe is just TOO sweet – cloyingly so. Probably has something to do with the two cups of dates (one in the crust, one in the “matrix” of the pie), as dates contain a LOT of sugar.

We rate it as “pie fail”, sorry.

Man, seeing that omlet thing makes me sooooo sad. I grew up on a farm and we had CHICKENS!!! it was awesome, but sadly at the time i just saw it as a pain in the A$$ because i had to go out and pick the few dozen eggs every day and then wash them, (yes, the eggs were literally laid that day, and i washed the $H#T off of them and i was pissed because i had to clean the crap off them and put them in cartons and put them in the fridge. It actually made me hate eggs as a kid.) Now that I have learned about the primal lifestyle, it makes me so sad that i thought that way as a kid because my parents don’t live on a farm anymore and i don’t either and i don’t have access to those UNBELIEVABLY good eggs anymore. Our chickens were as cage free as they could possibly be too. we would open the chicken coop when the sun rose and they could go absolutely anywhere they wanted, and at night they would all go back to the coop and we would shut it to keep the hawks, fox’s, skunks, etc. out. I miss that lifestyle so much now. a freakin “omlet” just isn’t gonna come close to cutting it anymore. I need to find a farm around here….

Hello Scott, You say you ordered the book several months ago, but the Primal Blueprint has only been available on Amazon for maybe 6 weeks or so. Maybe you tried ordering another book? We don’t have any record of an order placed on Amazon for “Scott Miller” for The Primal Blueprint. Also, The Primal Blueprint has never been out of stock on Amazon.com. I’d like to help you get to the bottom of this. Feel free to call our customer service line at 888-774-6259 and we’ll figure this out.

John, you do realize the Onion article is a parody, right?

“Maybe I can’t help it — maybe it’s genetic. Whatever it is, it’s time I accepted myself for who I am, instead of always holding myself up to society’s unrealistic standards,” Lazar said.

in other words…

“working just doesn’t jive with me, so I’ll be lazy and rack up my already climbing credit card debt.”

I don’t think she’ll be singing the same tune when the debt collection agency shows up at the door…

Man, I want some chickens so badly! Someday…

A guy here on base had some chickens but the housing office made him get rid of them because “livestock” can’t be considered pets for some reason.

The city council here in Sarasota, FL is holding hearings to see if they will overturn the no chicken law. A lot of people spoke in favor of doing so.

The chic chicken-houses at Omlet are fascinating. More and more people around where I live (country and city -dwellers alike) are starting to keep chickens. I’m sure it won;t be long before I start to see these popping up in people’s yards. Great link.
