The bacon deviled egg salad looks terrific. A great shortcut: Rather than chopping the egg whites separately, put the whole peeled eggs into a bowl and chop them up with a pastry cutter. The yolks will fall out on their own and get mashed up in the process.
Fun fact – I didn’t know a pastry cutter was for anything other than chopping eggs (or that it was called a pastry cutter) until I did a 4-H cooking project to make pie in 1984. It was always used for egg salad at my house.
You make me want to invest in a pastry cutter! Do you have other uses for it?
You know, you’re right, 7 percent really isn’t that bad. Always going to be idiots in the world. 🙂
The bariatric microbiome link goes to the story about the rabid raccoon.
I just finished “The Biology of Belief” by Dr. Bruce Lipton (was a challenging read but fascinating and was well worth getting to the conclusion) and I’m now reading “You Are the Placebo” by Dr. Joe Dispenza. I’m changing my opinion about “the power of the mind” being an exaggerated, flaky new age concept, if anything I think we underestimate the power of the mind to literally bio-engineer the results we want. Couple that with making sure we have the right epigenetics environment (diet, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, using green cleaning supplies, fresh air, sunshine etc etc) and we have the power I think to more often than not overcome negative genetic predispositions.
Added to “Things I Never Needed To Know” – how much pee surrounds me in the pool. Ewwwww…….
Speaking of cholesterol and its protective effects, any comments on this bulletin by the AHA: https://localtvwjw.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/cir-0000000000000510-full.pdf ?
Heads up: The link to the bariatric story actually links to the raccoon story.
Speaking of high cholesterol, I’d be interested in your comments on this bulletin: https://localtvwjw.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/cir-0000000000000510-full.pdf
Alternatively, between zero and seven percent of US adults enjoy giving snarky answers to survey questions from strangers.
You should have seen the results of the anonymous drug/alcohol/sexual activity surveys we took in high school. Man, it’s a wonder we lived this long.
The raccoon incident was 15 miles from my home here in Maine. Nearby we also had a rabid fox attack and bite the tire on a moving pickup truck two days ago.

Lots of carbs for this Frisbee athlete… 😉
Coconut Oil has never been healthy – this new study is making the rounds Mark. Please share your thoughts and counter arguments/articles so I can send to people hawking this story http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-40300145
He did – in 2008. Search the site for “Definitive Guide to Fats” and it should give you all the ammo you need.
“Coconut oil is as bad as butter and beef fat…” In other words, not at all! 😉
And they’re missing the point. As Mark has discussed and Chris Kresser discusses on his website, it’s not the LDL number that is the problem, it’s the LDL Particle number that we need to be aware of.
I’m a proud member of the seven percent of Americans who get a kick out of messing with the people who make up dumb surveys.
Have a nice blog
