Wow, what a way to start our tour of food history. This is just a quick "Hello!", as our journey through time begins. What I hope to achieve here is to have some fun as we learn about what, and how, our ancestors ate, and hopefully begin to understand what we're eating today. And since I've always loved dress up, I will also be including a menu set in the time period, just in case you want to party like it's 2 million B.C.E.!
This month our time machine is going way back, as the focus is on our earliest cooks - the hunter-gatherers of the Stone Age. We will be visiting with our new friends Homo habilis, Home erectus, Homo sapiens, and Homo sapiens sapiens.
As part of my research, I came across The Paleo Diet, created by Dr. Loren Cordain. The premise of this diet appears to be basically, that if the cavemen didn't eat it, neither should we. The exercise recommended, also reflects our oldest ancestors. Since I have 50 pounds to lose, in keeping with this month's theme, I decided "What the heck? Let's try it this month and see how it goes." I'll let you all know.
