Default Secret instructions.....

.....which you will have to eat immediately after reading. Low carb, of course.

Instructions written on a pork rind.....

Some poetry in that, no?


Low carb haiku:

Poem on a pork rind
oh, that crunch between my teeth
gone before midnight.

Actually, I'm not sure that changing the grocery stores is the way to go. I'd much rather go cross country, and in every town and city, round up the lowfat dieticians and processed-grainfoods advertisers and promoters, and in the public square, lash them to chairs with rawhide, and force feed them pork rinds, and great big steaks, gobs of butter and hollandaise made with extra egg yolk. Full fat cheese too. And have a video camera handy to catch them on the sly later when they slip back for second helpings thinking no-one's watching! < Wa'il, we need an "evil grin" icon >

It's a two pronged plan of attack! Round up the "pushers" and infiltrate the grocery stores.

After lashing and force feeding the dieticians et al in the publc square, we could play pie in the face - using real whipped cream of course - and throw pies at CEO's of junk food companies, sugar barons, and whoever is responsible for Hagen Dazs <sniffle>.

Then after that, we'd have a big bonfire made out of bags of potato chips and roast pure beef hot dogs over it, chanting "down with carbs, down with carbs!"

And then, and then....

Think it's time to have a coffee and contemplate Rachel's low-carb haiku.

Assuming we ever leave, never mind survive the trip, I (we) will be in downtown Toronto, visitintg with the ILs... after driving from Victoria to T.O., that is. Does a volkswagen semi-camperized w boneyard parts cargo van qualify as more so or less so than a bus tour of the prairies in July ?!?

Oh, DANG I'd rather be in gastown! Don't tell the ol' man but he just doesn't COMPARE to a lashing of dieticians! ROTFLMAO!

I'll just wish my lemon-garlic artichoke hearts in your general direction, and see what I can rummage up in ketostix colours for the fateful day!

Just paint a purple and pink stripe on it and it will become the Magic Bus! A dirty job, driving from Victoria to TO in the Magic Bus, but somebody has to do it!

Why don't you get a crash test dummy as a stand in and come to the 'que instead?

Great Plan, think he might not notice for a while but the dog will! LOL! Nah, too late... Rent-A-Dummy is all booked up

On the other hand, if the transmission never makes it back into the van... well, I'll call ya

Ahhh! The Prankster thing is catching on. See, we could all have different code names and secret decoder rings. Maybe even a few Sea Monkeys and x-ray glasses?

Judi, I thought Agent 99.5 was hysterical!

Judging by the merry prankster line of mania going on this last while, I think there may be a heretofore unspecified effect of lowcarbing: drugfree hallucinations (or getting high with a little help from your friends). Rolick on!
I've been lurking through the BBQ line as I wasn't sure when I would be going away for some R&R with nature. As it turns out, it'll be next week. If I'm back in time, I'd like to join in. Just in case, is there a general line of food that would supplement what other people are bringing?

I'm going to make Thai BBQ Chicken. Boneless - not skinless! - chicken marinated with cilantro, garlic and black pepper. This is the funnest dish to eat. You wrap the chicken with lettuce leaves, mint, cucumber and cilantro Then you dip it in a sweet and sour sauce with peanuts and eat it. Very yum!

I'll make dessert too. What does everyone else want to bring?

I also promised Wa'il that I would make ful mudammas. If you want to find out what this bit of exotica is (and to recieve your secret decoder ring), you'll have to come!

If I'm back in time from holiday, I'll bring something salady. Greeny, goat cheesy, nutty, etc. Directions to your place will come via e-mail? Parking nearby? If not, I could catch a False Creek Ferry to Roundhouse and walk over.

Yes I will Skinny. I'll be sending instructions en masse next week. It's taking place in Gastown.

I will remind everyone that there will be a few dogs involved. If you have a dog, you are welcome to bring them. If they are male, they have to have been neutered. If you want to bring a friend, it would be great! Post here again so the numbers can be tallied up so everyone knows how many to prepare for.

Hi Karen,

Count me in. I'll see if a friend wants to join me, but for now, it's just me. No dog...just 2 cats...Sam 'n Ella.

OK! So this is the roster for the potluck...Anyone else coming?

Wa'il
Rachel
Ruth
Skinny2 + friend?
Karen
3 of Karen's, struggling LC friends
2 low-carb dogs

So that's 7 or 8 people and 2 dogs confirmed.

Maybe...Liz, Mrs.Yogi...

What are y'all thinking of bringing? Rachel I never got back to you about if you should bring something else besides whazzed up dip for pork rinds. The answer is sure!

Karen
