Last night we had our families Christmas dinner and gift exchange. (work schedules). For the last ten years or so we do a 4-6lb prime rib roast. This year my sone knocked it out of the park with the roast. I'm not sure where the notion struck but I ate a small helping of green beans (my all time favorite food) and maybe a spoonful of creamed potatoes. I think it was more of a shocker for the family than for me. It was not like a craving or anything I put any thought into (other than thinking about a sweet potato once per week prior to a heavier/longer workout at the gym). I hadn't made any plans to eat anything other than meat but it sort of just happened.
The green beans tasted just like I remember (really awesome) and the cream potatoes were pretty good too.
I am not sure if I didn't eat enough or I didn't work out hard enough/long enough but I don't think I really seen any difference with my energy level during this morning's workout. I will see how the rest of the day goes but I got thru a longer leg workout without any lack of energy and didn't really feel any out of the ordinary burst. Unless something else drastically changes today I am not seeing the benefit of the carbs in regards to lifting. Again, maybe I didn't eat enough or go hard enough, but today was like any other day while eating carnivore.
I had gone from May 8th, 2024, til last night without a vegetable or fruit or anything along those lines and I guess that streak/stretch is over.
I don't this gets me kicked out of the club, maybe some probation or something, but I still think I'm on the carnivore path.

Lamb loin slow smoked.

Smoked wild hog shoulder.

Speaking of deer…

Rollin smoke today as I smoked up a couple of lamb rib racks.

Busy day cooking today.
First up was bacon wrapped smoked venison backstrap.

Next up was beef tongue. First time cooking it. Boiled it until tender and then sliced it and pan fried it in tallow. Wow, this was tender and delicious.

Last was some beef cheek meat. Slow cooked in the crockpot with a little beef broth. Extremely tender and fatty. 😋

A whole chicken for breakfast

I ran across some skins at Walmart, made by Macs and they are pure skins, this is what I ate, and they are very filling, I was just wondering if anyone has heard of them? They are an acquired taste, but I love them.

I've had chicken the last 3 days, because we bought it in bulk and it needed to be eaten.
And I've actually gone UP on the scale. Nothing drastic. But I've said several times in the past that when I eat chicken, or lean meat with insufficient fat, I tend to gain weight.

Nothin beats catching your supper. 10.6 pound blue cat.

Two big beautiful filets and a bunch of belly meat.

Egg washed, coated in pork rind panko and deep fried in tallow. Heart attack style.

First batch done and more to go.
Good eats right there folks. Fresh from lake to table in just a few hours.
