Are we dead yet?

Can’t blame you for wondering, and to tell you the truth, we weren’t sure ourselves for a while. What with layoffs, office closures, resignations, desk moves, and a new computer system that’s about as intuitive as making baklava… from scratch… without a recipe… we are happy to to report that that we’re still kicking — and cooking.
That being the case, I figure it’s about time I got back to slinging food in this forgotten little blogspot.
Just to get the conversation rolling, did you hear the one about Wagyu beef?
According to some fellow named Russ Supplee at Greg Norman Australian Prime (a beef company) a hunk of Wagyu beef is “good” for you — even better than a chicken breast. He says it’s a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and that the fat it contains is lower in cholesterol than chicken fat.
“Wagyu beef… is shown to have potent anti-carcinogenic properties, reduce heart disease, diabetes, asthma, body fat gain and increase immune system response, as well as being an anti inflammatory agent.”
Ya think? A hunk of fatty beef is health food? Delicious, yes. But good for me? At 25 percent fat, I don’t think so. I say since we aren’t dead yet, let’s just keep it that way for a while.
