boeuf
December 10, 2008So evidently when you experience a massive increase in physical activity, your body starts craving different things. It’s also possible I just am working out a lot more, dropping pounds, and somewhere in my little brain it’s more justifiable than it was before. Either way, enter: beef.
Previously only really eaten on special occasions, such as BBQs (see last blog entry), I’m now eating red meat slightly more frequently. I still have the requisite health concerns, as well as my moral ones. My other consumption habits have begun leaning strongly towards free range, cage free, local and organic. Why should beef be any different? On the contrary, it’s probably even more important. Plus, you can follow the “Snickers and a Diet Coke,” logic here. Add vegetables, and suddenly your steak dinner really isn’t so bad, is it?
My lovely friend Greta semi-recently introduced me to Marin Sun Farms beef, only available locally (read: Palo Alto) at Country Sun Foods. Go buy some. The steaks are great and the ground beef is phenomenal. When Greta made mini-burgers with this beef, I was dumbstruck. I’ve never been a huge fan of burgers for the burger itself, it was always about the toppings for me. Marin Sun beef changes everything. But only if you have money in the bank, otherwise you should probably eat something else. This stuff isn’t cheap.
Slightly overcooked Grass Fed Beef with Herbs and Yellow and Green Bean Salad (revised - yes, I must add feta to everything). Until someone pins me down and convinces me otherwise, I’ll continue to assume this is healthful and eat it semi-regularly. The bean salad is a fine light supper on its own, if you aren’t very hungry/are crash dieting for some ungodly reason. But why would anyone do such a thing?
