Now initially you might think you don't need or even want to know about
butyrate (ˈbjuːtɪˌreɪt) noun,
any salt or ester of butyric acid, containing the monovalent group C3H7COO- or ion C3H7COO–, and when you then bumped into this, having first found out it is in butter, you might well panic:

But then you would realize that lately it has had a great rise in reputation and helps maintain your biodome and aids in the production of key neurotransmitters that help both our gut and our brains to work. Apparently we make it when bacteria in our bellies ferment high fibre carbohydrates, but it is also, and here is the punchline, found in butter! The highest food source for it. I am relieved, and think I will just butter up everything!
At least these verbose scientist think so:

I found a sale on chuck roast for 3.89 a pound. That used to be the regular price, back in what apparently were the good old days, so we took it.
A couple of nice NY Strips for tomorrow. 8.99 a pound. Not exactly cheap, but not horrible, and they were great looking so I grabbed them.
Wings were priced out of this world, so I’ll have to shop elsewhere maybe Saturday. Ribs are already in the freezer, waiting for their 15 minutes of fame. Those babies were 2.69 a pound a few weeks ago. Can’t beat that for baby backs.
Doug Casey at about the 46:55 mark: “… a depression is a good thing…”
Wow. That tells you pretty much all you need to know about these MF’ers.
Paraphrasing the Great Casey:
“I don’t want to pay taxes to keep some old widow from dying of starvation, homeless on the street. If she didn’t manage her affairs properly, screw her. If she’s going to die, she should just get on with it and decrease the surplus population!”
Oh yeah, and “Buy my book!”
everything is about done. i need to make some rice, and then if i am more motivated than hungry i’ll take one more picture of it all on a plate. i am having black beans, Mexican rice, pulled pork, all from scratch, with some hand grated Wisconsin cheddar and fresh Pico de Gallo, and also some fried corn tortillas.
i have been wanting to do a beef roast for a while, but i am a cheap bastard now, especially since guys like Casey, Sinclair, and the great steaming Turd helped me lose all of my retirement money. so next time beef prices are reasonable, i’ll do this all over again… but with rutabaga and some other Northern European ingredients, out of respect for both my Grandmas, RIP.
fuck you Casey for that last comment, and i can’t wait for you to get your Karma. you expats hiding in South America if/when the “SHTF” will be even less popular than the Nazis that hid down there. how cocksuckers like these guys have screwed thousands out of millions, and haven’t been capped yet just shows you how upside down the world really is.
but not today. i need to enjoy my bounty… and it ain’t about money at all.
time to eat. i will have great leftovers too.
It got down to 45 here last night, 65 in the house. I’m sitting here with a sweatshirt and socks on, holding my teacup for the warmth. And this is…August? It’s a crazy world alright.
On the bright side, my popcorn is going absolutely gangbusters. Barring some catastrophe, it should be a record crop. Tons of apples too, though they look a little buggy, even though I sprayed a lot.
I have 6 pounds of leaf lard in the freezer, waiting to be rendered out. That will make all my apple pie crusts, and then some. Peckerwood, even though Black Earth Meats got shutdown, I was able to get some from Stoddard’s in Cottage Grove if you are interested. I’ve fallen in love with their breakfast links too.
The ladies are having a grand time in NYC. Saw a show last night, had Famous Original Ray’s pizza, shopping, etc. We are sending dueling food pictures back and forth by text.
Metals are dumping this morning. Don’t know why, since I haven’t been watching the news, but do they really need a reason? Monkey attack, lol! What a load of crap. 🙄
Somehow, I just really don’t see this catching on.
China’s ‘beach balaclava’ goes global
Day Two of the Meatapalooza
New York Strips, about a pound each. Sprinkled with garlic salt. Left to sit while the coals get ready. Grill. Bam.
Oops, we forgot any side dishes. 😈
We’ll make popcorn later, does that count? It’s a whole grain.

And actually, I have prepared Hoppin’ John on Jan 1 for the last 4 years. I need all the good luck I can get.
The Meatapalooza continues. Chicken wings. Very simple. Butter, black pepper, and Lawry’s Seasoned Salt. 400 degrees until crispy enough for you.
I’m the only one in the family who likes some heat, so I keep these low key, and just add a little chili oil to my own plate.
my first crush. i was two.
some old dire straits. hi all,..sending love,
hello Pete.
Been playin’ this b to b 10 or so times and I think it bears a repeat since I’ve decided it’s the song to be played at my funeral………………not just yet though.
“So let’s tot up instead what is going, and could go, right. Actually it is a pretty long list, just not a very newsworthy one. Compared with any time in the past half century, the world as a whole is today wealthier, healthier, happier, cleverer, cleaner, kinder, freer, safer, more peaceful and more equal.”

Meatapalooza: The Final Chapter
Baby back ribs, falling off the bone. If the rest of the family were home, I’d take some of these and sauce them up. But The Kid and I are both “No Sauce” people.
Last one.
The crew gets home late tonight. I’ll do a big breakfast for everyone in the morning, then Chinese lunch with Grandma, then back to reality. I suspect everyone will be stuffed to the gills by then.
just in a David Grey mood. not sure who mixed this but, check out all of the stuff flowing in.
Dude, I checked out your link and have question about a certain photo that stood out to me. In the am with the caffeine rush. Hi and best to all,
In a recent post I was harping on the point that in order to have any sort of meaningful chart you need three things to start. Without any one of the three, somebody is messing with you.
1)Total Returns. i.e. interest and dividends reinvested.
2)An inflation adjustment. i.e. “real” returns.
3) A log scale. Otherwise it’s just dumb.
Here’s an article with a big chart going back 200+ years, that satisfies all three criteria. And surprise, surprise, gold doesn’t come off looking very good.
Oh…Snap!

I love this quote in the article:
“As investors, we also always have to be aware of our innate and very human tendency to be fighting the last war. We forget that Mr. Market is an ingenious sadist, and that he delights in torturing us in different ways,” said Barton Biggs.
ready for your question Pete.
Dude, there is a photo of a tapestry (?) hanging on a barn. I was wondering if that is on your property ? and anything else you might be able to tell me about. Beautiful colors. Thanks.
they are called barn quilts.
i have no idea what happened to the Dude.
Grandson’s T-ball game. Yeah, that’s a barn quilt. Lots of barns here have them, I believe it started in Ohio. Sadly, my barn was too far gone to save and I tore it down in 2006.
Dp- didn’t know you had two kids
