Paleo Fudge
I made a Paleo Freezer fudge last night
I brought it to work
I forgot to take photos and now it is all gone.
I kind of followed a recipe/kind of didn't
throw about 1 c coconut oil in a stand mixer bowl whip till fluffy, add 1/4t vanilla, 1 c cocoa powder and whisk till well blended, add in 3/4 c chopped walnuts 1/4 c raw cocoa nibs stir only till just mixed in.
Freeze in a pan lined with plastic wrap, bring to work. I used a plastic take out tray that's about 4" x 7"
It gets runny after about 2 hrs
My original test recipe I added goji berries, blanched sliced almonds and I salted the top with Fleur de Sel. <

Arabian at the Knights
We had a great event to benefit a local vets group.
Getting Arabian at the Knights was a night of fun, food, dance and music held at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Charlestown.

there's a Fire
For my Birthday I got a couple of Best Buy certificates and turned them into a Kindle Fire.
I love it!
Been reading like a maniac.
I had already been reading ebooks on my PC, but now I can bring them with me as well.
But the apps are what crack me up.
This is what I did today

New TV console
President's Day
I went to work briefly and then went and got Minstrel Krampf and ended up at IKEA where we met my sis and her posse. (The Naz and The Captain).
Our IKEA game plan is to use them to visualize a kitchen that we will likely source somewhere else. Custom solid wood cabinetry is often the same price or even less than many IKEA options and it is SOLID wood, a better value choice for the house. So we checked out the kitchens and got the kitchen planner guides and took some pics.
I also thought I wanted to start and expedit shelf wall in the future bedroom.
After some time in that department we decided to just grab another BILLY bookcase
It was packed! I have never parked on the top deck before, and the people, oy! Crying babies ruled the day.
We also found a small leather chair that Herr Krampf liked and we were going to get one, but by the time we got to the pickup area we just weren't feeling it, so we skipped that. We did end up with a completely unplanned purchase of a glass console that was never ever on the radar. It's now the TV stand. Photo later when it's full. Got a duvet cover and a bunch of CHEAP pillows for "camping decor" and some odds and ends.
We ate smart too.
Lox, salad, meatballs with vegs. and no jelly. Not quite the same, but not quite the carbs either!

Comment about success
Sorry, no photo.
Success comes in many forms.
The latest success in my kitchen was the crock-pot haggis for Dave's Birthday.
It was his big request, so he gets it. It's not like he asked for a 5 layer yellow cake with butter cream frosting and sprinkles. Not Paleo, but at least the grains were steel cut oats and I used about 1/2 of what the recipe called for. About one cup spread between what I think will be 8-10 servings. It still tasted great and we're thinking about even less grain in the next one because the oats really stood out. I guess one you stop eating grains for a while they become more noticeable. Instead of Neeps'N'Tatties I smashed a cauliflower and instead of a sweet and sour jam based sauce I did a mustard cream sauce with a splash of scotch. We also had a shot of scotch - the first alcohol I've had since New Year's. That alone seems a little strange. We usually have wine with dinner at least once a week.
