Activities
- What are " three haddock and some whitey slicey'? In the olden times miracles used to be bigger. Although there’s no knowing if those miracles actually happened. Once Charlie, Ben and I tried to share a bag of fish and chips from Marley’s. It stretched the very limits of our friendship – and Marley’s is known for its big portions. How some bloke called Jesus managed to share three haddock and some whitey slicey with 5,000 people, I do not know. I guess people wanted to believe it had happened.June 17, 202031
- What does the last sentence mean? Our teacher, Mrs Walker, once said that if she finished the school year without strangling one of us it would be a miracle. At the end of Year Six all my class were still alive…at least I think they were still alive. Dylan Katano disappeared midway through the autumn term, but I heard he went back to Japan. Anyway, my point is that Mrs Walker was wrong. Not strangling one of 6W is not a miracle – even if we were a handful.June 17, 202030
- What does 'banging' here mean? This is a recipe from my friend Mary Shenouda, aka @PaleoChef on Instagram. I’d never tasted chicken liver before trying Mary’s dish, but it made me an instant convert. It is both delicious and a “banging” source of nutrients including choline, vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin A.March 19, 202020
- What does the first sentence mean? Cue the opening chords of “Eye of the Tiger.” (Prefer “The Final Countdown”? That works too.) You’re about to take an inventory of your kitchen and clear out the foods that are no longer serving you. Grab a garbage bag and get ready to load it up—this’ll be fun!March 18, 202040
- Is "Trader Joe' here the supermarket? Let us think back to a time before food delivery apps and diet gurus, when “Trader Joe”was the guy guarding the only salt lick in a hundred-mile radius and “biohacking” was something you did to a fresh kill with a sharpened stone. Government diet recommendations (or governments, for that matter) wouldn’t arrive on the scene for millennia, so you’d have to make do, as your ancestors did, with intuition and availability. As a forager, your diet would consist of a diverse array of land animals, fish, vegetables, and wild fruits. The chief calorie contributor would by and large be fat, followed by protein. 1 You might consume a limited amount of starch, in the form of fiber-rich tubers, nuts, and seeds, but concentrated sources of digestible carbohydrate were highly limited, if you had access to them at all. Q: Trador Joe IS the name of a supermarket. But in this context, as "a sharpened stone' is mentioned, I assume that "Trador Joe" might be a trador named Joe? Am I right? If so, why the trador is called Joe instead of other names?February 15, 202030
- What is 'nonstick coating' here? Remember those delicate, chemically reactive polyunsaturated fats from chapter 2? They are great for creating that nonstick coating on your skillet because they oxidize and bond to the iron so easily—the exact process that happens in your blood! It’s almost impossible to get a nonstick coating with olive oil or saturated fats because they are more chemically stable and not easily oxidized.February 5, 202030
