It's another Lizard! I mean, newsletter. This one is about food, as you can see. If you can't see, click on the picture and it will come up big enough to read. Nutrition is a really complicated, nasty, multi-layered issue. So I had a few things to say about it. Go see in the newsletter … Continue reading Caring for Your Lizard – Nutrition

Caring for Your Lizard – Sleep
It's another newsletter edition! Click on the image to see a larger version. I'm talking about ways in which we can convince our screaming inner toddler to go to sleep already. Not with coercion but with love. If you are interested in a conversation about the ways in which we can calm that toddler and … Continue reading Caring for Your Lizard – Sleep
Eating Weeds
It rained, and it rained, and it rained. These days, Winnipeg is starting to remind me of Piglet's tree. There's only one good thing about it - everything is turning a brilliant, startling, emerald green. Spring in Manitoba is a brief affair. The winter will usually last six months in a good year, and this … Continue reading Eating Weeds
Running, Again.
Some of the oldest posts on this blog are about running. I have such a love-hate relationship with that activity. I no longer aspire to any kind of distance running (my Primal sources say that's not healthy anyway), but I'm going to run a 5K today. In this blog post from August 2011 I talked … Continue reading Running, Again.
Fantastic Forest Foraging with Savour Winnipeg
Last September I had the pleasure of partaking in a forage expedition with Savour Winnipeg, in conjunction with outdoor educator Barret Miller of FortWhyte Alive. In honour of their new season, here are some pictures and reminiscences. While most of the forage experiences take place in the Assiniboine Forest, the season's grand finale is at … Continue reading Fantastic Forest Foraging with Savour Winnipeg
Dreaming of Fruit
It’s the Winter That Wouldn’t Die. Below-normal temperatures, piles of snow everywhere. Talk of a big flood, again. But I’m dreaming of summer’s fruit. The apple trees in my yard are still bare, still holding on to last year’s apples that didn’t get picked. I’m sure the birds who stayed here through the winter appreciated … Continue reading Dreaming of Fruit
A Paleo Passover – and I’m on a Jimmy Moore podcast!!
OK, so Pesach didn't exist in Paleolithic times. Our ancestors were shepherds, with agriculture thrown in once they settled down. But the fact remains, they didn't eat processed food. They baked their own matzah and they didn't attempt to game the system by making fake substitutes for their everyday food. I was hanging out on … Continue reading A Paleo Passover – and I’m on a Jimmy Moore podcast!!
#blogExodus – Matzah
Ah, Matzah. The bread of affliction. Sales of Kosher for Passover prune juice soar at this time of year, as the flat bread made of white flour and water leads to widespread dietary distress among the faithful. It is particularly an issue for those who try to maintain a gluten-free lifestyle. Matzah is quite literally … Continue reading #blogExodus – Matzah
The Booch is Back!
I'm so excited. After weeks and weeks of brooding on my kitchen floor, my kombucha is finally ready for second bottling. If you've been following me for a while, you know that I am quite passionate about lacto-fermentation. I just love those little lactobacilli, and I consider them a major part of my healing. Last … Continue reading The Booch is Back!
Why Purim Will Kill Me
I love Purim. I really do. I love the costumes, the celebrations, the insanely bloodthirsty story. I love making Mishloach Manot for our friends. I love coming home from shul, arms full of the Mishloach Manot our friends give us. But that's where my problem begins. My name is Hadass and I am a sugar … Continue reading Why Purim Will Kill Me
