Nathaniel has perfected what he calls "Medium Rare" Pepperoni chips. For a more crispy texture leave them in for one minute..but he thinks 55 seconds is the perfect chewy/crunchy texture.

Well total miscommunication with the pig for lunch today. 😂 We thought we ordered the whole pig but maybe because we ordered so much other food or because there was only 3 of us they brought us one PORTION of pig and not the whole one. It was probably all the food we needed because we also had blood sausage, fried bacon, octopus, and a bunch of cheeses...but I was bummed I didn't get a picture with one. 😂😂 I took this before from someone else's table thinking ours was on the way still. They cut the pig with a plate to show you how tender it is. The skin was absolutely incredible. They only season it with salt and then pour over some of the broth it's cooked in on your plate. Such an incredible meal.

This is such a good episode!! The first half they talk statins and the prescription drug/medical industry. Highly recommend listening.

I’ve just gotten home from a week in Colorado with my daughter and family. They eat really clean so I had little problem staying food sober. I’ve been wearing a CGM through December and I can say it’s been a big help keeping me honest. I plan to do BBB and E plus fish in January so just hoping to remain stable through December. At least one more family event and then I’ll be through most of the food exposure. I’m actually looking forward to a very clean January.
