Smith Meadows Farm at Dupont Circle

Smith Meadows Farm is an eighth generation grass farm and they sell beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. I am so happy they come to the Dupont Farmers Market. Today, I scored beef LIVER, ground pork, lamb shanks, ground lamb, ground beef, and beef sausage with basil and garlic. I am going to make the beef liver tomorrow and cannot wait!

Walking Berlin

We explored the wonderful city of Berlin, Germany, last week while I was on a mission trip for work. The city has a painful past, but a vibrant vibe. The weather was ideal (60s and then into the 80s). It is very walkable and there is so much to see, parks to enjoy, and tons of cafes and shops. I highly recommend it.

English is not everywhere, as you might expect from a capital city or major European city. I was happy that our hotel (Radisson) had extensive allergy information at their restaurants--very helpful! Steven tried many pastries and treats. I ate more than my weight in pork, liverwurst, and chicken. So good.

ED#27 Cleared Pork

Steven bought a pork loin seasoned roast. I weighed out 8 ounces and rinsed it thoroughly, then added my own safe spices. Additionally, I had avocado, cabbage, onion, broccoli, and lots of coconut. Steven didn't finish all of the spiced meat, so I snacked on another ounce or so and within minutes, I had a headache. I'm sure it was from the "smoke flavoring" or some other "natural flavor." The last time I did the elimination diet, I was not able to tolerate smoked meat at all. The good news--pork is back on the plate.
