So there I am, in the pig pen, with little piglets running to and fro under my feet, squealing. I'm lurching back and forth, holding a roasting pan upside-down over my head, swooping down with it at intervals, and all the while seriously wondering why I ever agreed to this scheme in the first place!

Since Glorious Spouse and I have become low carbers, the thing I miss most about stuffing the Thanksgiving turkey is getting rid of last year's Christmas fruitcake. Designated-drivers not withstanding, there should be bumper stickers that read "Friends Should Not Let Friends Give Fruitcakes."

It's a time where there's just one traditional excuse to pig out after another! How am I going to deal with this?

The grilled strip steaks will be juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The smoky aroma and the charred crust of the meat from the grill give it a delightful texture that will make your mouth water. The green beans will be crisp and refreshing, with a slight crunch and bright green color that will balance the meat's richness. The dish's sweetness will come from the strawberries, which are juicy, plump, and bursting with flavor. The combination of the savory steak and the fresh green beans with the sweet and tangy strawberries will create a perfectly balanced and delicious meal that will satisfy your taste buds and keep you satisfied for hours.

My results are a testament to the fact that low carbing is not "A" way of eating. It is "THE" way of eating if you're interested in living long and being healthy.
