Loving this coffee grinder



My new coffee grinder :> much more high tech than the coffee maker. Time savings like mad. Loving it.

Breville BCG450XL Barista Control Conical Burr Coffee Grinder.

Scooped it at Electronics for Less (Canada) for under 100 bucks (sale I think).

(and I know this grinder sucks relative to the real goods out there.. maybe someone can buy me a Rancilio Rocky grinder…)

More than a few paleo veggies



I’m not a fan of vegetarianism but even with paleo(-ish) diets people often react that there wouldn’t be enough variety. I found this following list I formatted from wikipedia a while back sitting in a note file. Not totally inclusive but tried to include most common vegetables to make this a practical list (also excludes herbs and spices):

Cruciferous Vegetables

(bulb and stem) kohlrabi

(green/leafy) arugula (rocket) brussels sprout cabbage Chinese cabbage (bok choy) collard greens kale mustard (greens and seeds) rapini turnip (greens) watercress

(root and tuber) daikon radish turnip (root) rutabaga

(fruiting/flowering) broccoli cauliflower

Non-Cruciferous, non-root vegetables

(bulb and stem) asparagus celeriac garlic leek onion anise fennel

(fruiting/flowering) artichoke celery cucumber eggplant* peppers* pumpkin squashes tomato* zucchini

(green/leafy) beet greens chard dandelion greens endive lettuces radicchio spinach

(sea vegetables) dulse kombu laver wakame

Root and tuber vegetables

carrot beetroot ginger parsnip sweet potato water chestnut yam
