Onion rings ...fried of course
Cheese Coney with onions... vegetable .
With hot sauce ..clears out the blood system.
2 glasses of reisling...on my first.... now on # 2..


Keith Richards made it to 80 so what

fascist dictatorship after a dirty election
and his administration is made of grifting
billionaires and Fox News shit bags so

Fats! Cheese, cream, beef fat, pork fat, butter, ice cream, and sour cream.

And now nutritionists are telling us to eat lots of good fats - like spoonfuls of butter. I use lots of cheese, butter, cream cheese in my cooking.

I have switched to cooking in organic beef tallow which is healthier than cooking in chemically processed seed oils.

We were told to not eat many eggs in the past & now eggs are a superfood and many on the carnivore diet have at least 6 or more a day.

Used for improved focus because many have foggy minds.

We have nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and it appears nicotine can improve how those receptors work .

Many who never smoked are using patches to feel good - it promotes dopamine release.

I just bought some & I do believe I am happier!

Former smoker. If I ever get a terminal diagnosis, the first thing I'm going to do is buy a carton of smokes.

I've been eating a lot of skinless chicken, salmon with broccoli and blueberries. I hate it. I had to make some bacon to wash down the nasty healthy food taste.

He told me I can eat anything.

But if it tastes good, spit it out.
