Hey kids! Here’s a fun and exciting experiment you can do at home!

Paging Mr Wizard …
And we’re back!
After a minimal amount of hair-pulling and teeth-gnashing, LCV has returned to an InterTube near you! Seriously, things went fairly smoothly and I think I’ve gotten most of the bugs chased out.
We’re moving!
Over the next week or so I’ll be moving LCV to a new hosting provider. I don’t feel it’s appropriate to do business with a company whose CEO feels it necessary to kill animals and then brag about it. The fact it’s a species under threat just earns him extra sleaze points. So I’m going … Continue reading
Broccoli Pasta salad
Pasta salad on a low carb blog? Isn’t pasta just packed with those carbs we’re trying so hard to avoid? Not if you choose the right pasta.
Broccoli and Mushroom salad
I don’t know what the weather’s like where you are but around here it’s hot, hot and getting hotter. So standing over a hot stove is right out of the question and to be honest, eating anything hot doesn’t sound all that attractive. I’m on the lookout for new salads to try and this one … Continue reading
Shirataki noodles – a vegan, low carb food

Shirataki noodles, usually made with tofu as well, are from Japan and are made from the devil’s tongue yam or konjac. I’ve never tried the pure shirataki noodle but I’m told … Continue reading
Three bean salad, take one
This is the first of my Pantry project recipes and it’s a pretty traditional three bean salad. About the only significant change I’ve made is to substitute chickpeas for the more common wax beans. Honestly, I don’t care all that much for wax beans but if you like them, feel free to sub them back … Continue reading
Introducing the Pantry project
I’m going to be posting a few recipes from my Pantry project and I thought it would helpful if I explained a little bit about what I’m trying to accomplish. A while back I noticed I didn’t really have much food on the shelf, I was pretty much buying what I needed for the week’s … Continue reading
Top 10 low carb nuts and seeds
I decided to look at what nuts and seeds are lowest in carbs. I’m eating a lot more nuts as a snack these days and I wanted to see which nuts or seeds were lowest in net carbs. All of the values are based on a 100-gram sample, which is actually quite a bit, and … Continue reading
Is Kosher helpful to vegans?
It’s Christmas day and I’m writing a piece about Kosher food. Is this multiculturalism run amok? No it’s just that things are slow at $WORK and I’ve just learned something interesting. And I’d like to share that with everyone out there. Like most folks, I suspect, I was vaguely aware of Kosher food. I had … Continue reading
