I’m so happy for my brother and his wife they finally got married. Yes, the same brother who almost died of extreme psoriasis 2 years ago as documented in www.eczemacure.info got married yesterday. The reception was a buffet lunch. I sat at the vip table to be served by waiters. This is how I kept my raw paleolithic diet despite being in a social occassion.
I scanned the food early on. I found ox tongue. That would represent a cooked paleolithic food. Then I saw waiters frying blue marlin soaked in soy sauce and a separate lemon butter sauce. The raw blue marlin would serve as a raw paleolithic meal. Blue marlin is a big wild ocean fish. So as not to freak out my seat mates, I had the waiter sear each side of the sliced blue marline for 5 seconds each side. I got 3 big slices and took it to my table in front of my seat. Reserved for me. A few minutes later all the fish had been fried / cauterized to the liking of normal folk.
So there I was at the VIP table first accepting some soup from the waiter, tasting 1 spoonful only for graces, then waving away the next waves of food being offered, just accepting some ox tongue, then digging in to my main meal which was lightly seared blue marlin fish. No tummy aches, no feeling bad due to toxins. The meal was good enough.
Being in a social occassion does not mean I have to sacrifice myself to conform with the herd. You can make choices. If someone asks, tell them you are on a special diet for health reasons. They won’t mind.
As a side note, I got my kids their lunch and I got them plain rice, ox tongue and blue marlin. That was what I judged as paleolithic enough. My kids are still rice addicts but I didn’t give them much rice this time.
