citizenkerry:

Look at this dum-dum ID, which I bought for $3 in downtown Memphis. I just *knew* it was the kind of long-term investment that would pay for itself, and that’s how I justified spending money on an otherwise useless piece of (albeit laminated) plastic. So I showed this to the TSA lady at the Memphis Airport, who laughed and said, What a good looking man you are! Then she paused and said, You know, I love Elvis…I was adopted by my grandmother and she had pictures of all my relatives on the wall. On the bottom row, there was a framed picture of Elvis. He was the only white man on our wall, and for years I thought he was one of my cousins.

**And that is my favorite Elvis story I heard all weekend in Memphis.**

Paleo Memphis: Update: First Paleo Memphis Meet Up :

paleomemphis:

There were only four in attendance but the first Paleo Memphis Meet-up was great and I appreciate those who took time out of their day to attend. My daughter and I met a couple Memphians at the Poplar-I240 Starbucks and talked for over an hour and a half about all things paleo!

We talked…

paleomemphis:

Here’s a great info-graphic about the genetic dwindling of major food crops. I agree with the original post in that we need many more varieties of crops that can sustain ecological and atmospheric changes.

humanformat:

redescubri:

Biodiversity means a robust response mechanism against natural and man-made disasters. With our food supply’s genetic diversity dwindling, we risk catastrophic collapse of food systems if we don’t have the variations that can respond to such shocks.

Monsanto and other Big Agriculture players want this reduced scope because it allows them to corner the market, own patents and control what we eat.

Preserve heirloom varieties, cultivate what grows best in your area and share locally to ensure that we don’t subsume our independence and vitality to our corporate masters.

Note: This info graphic only leads up to 1983! I assume that the modern numbers are even less.

We create such dangerous problems.

wyeoakmusic:

Dear Memphis,

Jenn’s voice is still questionable, so Wye Oak will not be performing tonight at the Lamplighter. Instead, you will see the first and only performance of SLOWER DANS, featuring members of Wye Oak, Lower Dens, Crazy Dreams Band, Lexie Mountain Boys, and Roads to Space Travel.

Lower Dens will still perform as per usual, as will Young Greys.

In a statement crafted by SLOWER DANS’ mouthpiece Squawk Nard:
“We are proud to present our starquake epic “Testicle Money” to the people of Memphis Tennessee. In this time of upheaval and calamity we felt it was important to bring our unfolding trilogy of transformation, healing and rebirth to bear in a location of critical pyramid energy focus and inward-looking reincarnativity. SLOWER DANS’ persistent unfolding and reinvention of self finds its mirror in the history and magic of Memphis and is honored to present our magnum opus on this tender night.”

The first Paleo Memphis meet-up is scheduled for March 3rd, 2012 from 2-3pm at the Starbucks on Poplar at I-240 near the Olive Garden (Google Map). The meeting will be very informal but I hope it will provide an opportunity for people to get to know other paleo enthusiasts. I plan on…

I found this recipe on Everyday Paleo and I wanted to share because it’s so simple to make and very hearty. It’s so simple because it only has 4 main ingredients; frozen chicken breasts, a can of coconut milk, a can of diced tomatoes, and a cup of chicken broth. Then you add in a few…

paleomemphis:

There’s no shortage of paleo-friendly breakfast casseroles on the internet but I wanted to share what I cooked up Monday night. I love having a hearty breakfast available during the week that’s both easy to heat up and keeps me full until lunch.

I’ve never cooked kale but after learning…

citizenkerry:

Yesterday we went to the Peabody Hotel in Memphis to watch “The Marching of the Ducks.” This is a real thing—every day at 5pm the ducks march out of a marble fountain in the lobby, into an elevator that whisks them to the “Duck Palace” on the roof of the building. (More to come on this.) Not surprisingly, there is an amazing stash of duck paraphernalia in the hotel gift shop. Guess which one of these fowlbulous items I actually bought? (Hint: I’m always trying to make people smile when I do yoga.) (I mean, no I’m not, but I think this will help you guess correctly.)
