Diabetes and Birthday Cakes

I agree with huney_bumper about the whole meal before the cake bit. What you have to understand that people with diabetes/boderline diabetes, is that their bloodsugar is not regulated very well by their bodies. He may have high blood sugar at night and very low blood sugar in the morning. It all depends on how active the person is and how they eat on a normal basis. If he is just trying to lower his bloodsugar and is not diabetic, and is doing well, I suggest that you have the cake (any cake!) in the afternoon and then take him for a walk around the block.

I would also suggest asking his doctor if he did a history on his blood sugar or if it was just a sample the day of the visit. People's blood sugar varies throughout the day depending on food consumption and activity. Its not like your cholesterol that takes a lot of work to get down.

Ok, here we go, I asked Matt who is fave singer was and the answer was Harry Chapin, so this is what I came up with for him:

“Sunday Morning Meat”
“A Better Meat To Be”
“Cat’s in the Meat” or “Meat’s in the Cradle”
“Meat is Red”
“Mr. Meat”

“Victuals & Bovine” (I had a little help from a thesaurus for that one, Victual is pronounced ‘vittle’, meaning something fit to eat, and you know what a bovine is. This is a take from the album Verities & Balderdash which I’m sure you have heard of.)

Here is the definition page for Victual click on the little speaker icon next to the word.

Or you could go the Meat = any word you want. Like if you like, say Neil Young:
Everybody Knows This is Meat, After the Meat Roast. On The Meat, Tonight's the Meat. Meat Never Sleeps or Roast Never Sleeps, Landing on Meat, This Meat's for You, Harvest Meat, Are you Meat?, Prairie Meat, Living with Meat.

I think you get the meat, I mean idea.

Happy for him, but don't like the name. The Butcher's Block is better than that. There were so many great suggestions! One more:

Matt's not been in here in a couple days, but it looks as though it's going to be "A Butcher's Blog". Yeah, he's pretty jazzed about getting it going!

Some of those name are pretty awesome. I like the idea of keeping a simple but catchy name, nothing too silly.
As for the possible content:
I don't eat meat, but my boyfriend, who knows nothing about cooking or food or meat, does. I try to teach him what I know to make him more adept to cooking meat, but one area I can't really help him in is buying the stuff or figuring out what to do with different cuts. I think it would be helpful to someone like him to see some section where the subject is catagorized by cut. Perhaps including recipes and techniques for each.
Perhaps keep at least some of it simple and geared toward people who don't spend too much on groceries (like my boyfriend).
Good luck!

"Matt the Knife" is a good one. Nice going!

And that would be another good topic for a butcher's blog: knives.


From Talk

I see a lot of "votes" for A/The Butcher's Blog. But I kind of hate it. It's way too typical. IMHO, I think you should pick something that is a bit unusual/catchy, but not way out there.

From Talk

Nobody asked me, but if you ever get to be a star on the Food Network you ought to be called "Matt the Knife" as suggested above.

I also highly recommend godaddy.com.

@onepercent99 ... I use godaddy.com for domain registrations and hosting. They also have tools for installing WordPress as your blog right there in the admin tools. Best service I've been able to find. Throw me an email if you'd like more info: dave(at)micuisine.com

I also like "A Butcher's Blog" the best, but if you go w/"The Butcher's Block", how about "On the Butcher's Block"?

From Talk

@gibson and anyone else that would like to help me here....where can i register that name?...thanks

From Talk

You should keep it simple, but make known who you are and what you're blogging about.

How about "Matt on Meat"?

From Talk

starting a food blog ........

I think "A Butcher's Blog" is the perfect name for the content you intend to share. The local butchers in a family run grocery store where I live are my most valuable resource. I love MelsDiner's suggestion of showing us how a butcher cooks along with the best cuts of meat to use for a specific cooking method.

abutchersblog.com is currently available.... so register it asap and become the pioneer in butcher blogging. Fantastic idea & good luck!

i really like "the galloping tenderloin."

or how about:

Beef is the New Black
The Butcher Diaries
I Brake for Beef
You Can't Beat This Meat

From Talk

starting a food blog ........

Stop & Chop
Swap Meat
Choprite
The Rolling Bones
crafty carnivore
Glad to meat you
Meat and greet

Good luck, and let us know the outcome!!

"Lovely Matthew, Meater Maid"

[LPC wonders if that's a little too much ...]

From Talk

Similarly ...

"The Smelly Butcher"
"Bust My Chops"
"Bull Testicles for Dinner"
