I have never been an athletic person. For “athletic” credits in high school we were allowed to count “marching band”. Four years of marching in the fall covered the requirement. My husband and children were all athletically active in high school.
Not a fan of mushrooms? Don’t write off mushrooms until you’ve tasted Lion’s Mane mushrooms. I will admit that although I enjoy eating mushrooms, I don’t like the way they feel in my hands. To be honest, they give me the creeps. I suffer the agony of washing them with my hands to indulge in the taste. Surprisingly, the Lion’s Mane mushroom doesn’t freak me out as much as they have a completely different texture than the standard mushroom. The flavor and texture are quite different, too. I rate five out of five stars and highly recommend them as a substitute for steak. Yes, I said use these mushrooms to satisfy your craving for steak.
The study of humanity across the millennia, more often than not, takes the mind into a visual portrait of time rather than recognition of actual historical facts. For example, the belief that cave men existed can be debated across timelines for eternity, yet it is not their existence that captures the imagination. Instead, it is the visual portrait of strong, masculine Neanderthals hunting animals in the wild then cooking that meat over an open fire near a cave that likely captures the mind. Similarly, the vision of vast herds of Bison stampeding across the plains ahead of natives hot on the trail of their meat supply and a youthful rite of passage into adulthood that conjures the feeling of vitality, and freedom. To this day, the sense of strength that meat and freedom provide, continues to drive humans into the wild to do what they have done for millions of years. Truly, the sweetness of nature, the thrill of the hunt and the instinct to survive is burned deep into the soul of man. There is something about the combination of blood shed and freedom that is liberating and tangible and no doubt created to be this way – God Given.
