Nestled on a bend of the Vltava River, the beautiful town of Český Krumlov is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe. It's also the site of a horrific true crime! (Oo, let's get those true crime junkies in on this!) Rudolf II had troubles, and the mental illness of his son Julius only adds to the load. But the decline and fall of Rudolf II and the murder of Markéta Pichlerová is only part of the story.  We're also going to talk about the Defenestration of Prague, one of the defining moments in European history and the event that kicked off the first Great War of the early modern era. Melissa Joulwan of the Strong Sense of Place podcast - a podcast dedicated to literary travel and books with vivid settings - returns to talk about visiting Český Krumlov and eating so many delicious Czech foods, including wild bluebery dumplings!

They say a giant man of clay sits in the attic, waiting for centuries for his instructions.  The story of the Golem in Prague is one of the classics of western storytelling, yet did you know that the temple where the Golem is rumored to be is a real place? The Old New Synagogue, one of the oldest active synagogues in the world, sits in the heart of Josefov, Prague's Jewish district. In this episode, we'll talk about Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who ruled from Prague, and his fascination with astronomy, alchemy, and mystiticism. We'll discuss the fascinating people he surrounded himself with, including Chief Rabbi, Kabbalah Expert, and supposed Golem-maker Judah Loew. Joining me for this episode is Melissa Joulwan, one of the hosts of Strong Sense of Place — a podcast and website dedicated to literary travel and books with vivid settings. Melissa has lived in Prague for seven years and shares her favorite spots and treats, including větrníky, glorious caramel cream puffs.

Readers have heard of the big 5 publishing companies that include Harper Collins, and Penguin/Random House. But there is something really special about university presses. Unfortunately, they don't often get the attention they deserve. Sarah Munroe, Marketing Manager and Acquisitions Editor at West Virginia University Press, is our guest this week who talks to us about what makes a university press special and how they operate differently from the big 5.    One of the unique things about them is that they can and do feature more diverse voices and topics than what major publishers are willing to put out there. Former guest Neema Avashia, author of Another Appalachia, was published by WVU Press and she is just one of the diverse voices that readers can find at smaller publishers. WVU Press has made some pretty important headlines lately after their author Deesha Philyaw's book The Secret Lives of Church Ladies became a finalist for the National Book Award in 2020.    While we definitely book nerd out with Sarah, we hope you stay tuned to what was supposed to be her 3 in the Third Degree where we asked only one question but learned a ton about her abiding love for dinosaurs and how they were part of her wedding ceremony with her husband.  You can find WVU Press at their website, www.wvupressonline.com and on instagram and twitter @wvupress and Facebook at West Virginia University Press.                                                                                                                                                                                  Follow us on Facebook at The Perks of Being a Book Lover Instagram at @perksofbeingabookoverpod For show notes for any episode, go to our website at www.perksofbeingabooklover.com.    Books Mentioned In This Episode: 1- Another Appalachia by Neema Avashia 2- Bad Tourist by Suzanne Roberts 3- The Secret Lives of Church Ladies by Deesha Philyaw 4- Deer Season by Erin Flanagan 5- Even As We Breathe by Annette Sanuooke Clapsaddle 6- Ghosts of New York by Jim Lewis 7- Foote: A Mystery Novel by Tom Bredehoft 8- Lioness by Mark Powell 9- Curing Season by Kristine Langley Mahler 10- Kindred by Octavia Butler 11- Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin 12- Moon Witch, Spider King by Marlon James 13- Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James 14- The Kill by Richard House 15- City of Brass by S.

It is amazing how the same issues reappear, so after getting questions on Thyroid issues in the Facebook group I went searching for an episode that Andrew and I had done back in the Ironman: Year One day - Episode 20A to be exact - so a very long time ago. I know the intro, format, levels, etc are different, but this was always one of my favorite episodes. Thanks to Andrew for saving these things!

The Clothes Make the Girl #SANE with Melissa Joulwan & Jonathan Bailor

Ep. 261: Can't Stand the Smell of Burning Flesh!   In this episode, Stacy and Sarah answer a question from a vegetarian mother who wants to put her daughter on the Autoimmune Protocol, but doesn't like to cook meat Click the picture above to be taken to iTunes   If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 261: Can't Stand the Smell of Burning Flesh! Intro (0:00) News and Views (0:41) Welcome back! Stacy's feeling much better now! Meanwhile, Sarah jinked herself by thinking about her family's resilience against illness and her daughter got a stomach bug. Paleo won't make you impervious, but it does help! Mostly, chronic illness is what's most affected. Stacy says that eating #morevegetablesthanavegetarian is one of the best factors in her strong immune system. Our paleo isn't a re-enactment, its simply choosing the foods that best promote the health of our bodies. Choosing nutrient density, avoiding what makes you sick. In the end, it is a very vegetable focused diet. Recent health studies show that it's not just 5+ vegetables per day but even 8 or more servings for ideal health! Fiber is great for gut bacteria, and the great vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals are wonderful for health! Sarah says that her paleo is a plant based diet composed of 3/4 vegetables, eating the rainbow! But paleo isn't vegan! Meat is a healthy, important, nutrient dense food! Question from Claudia: "My 16 yr old daughter who has had eczema since early birth, along with severe respiratory and immune issues. She missed over 100 days of school spring 2016 due to flu, turned to bronchitis, turned to pneumonia, turned to mono. My daughter loves grains/beans (I know the worst thing for her), but eats mostly whole, plant-based food with me, plus chicken. She doesn't eat much cheese or crave it the way I do. I have shared custody with my ex husband, and she said crying to me on Christmas Eve, even if I eat perfect with you, I can't at my dad's because he doesn't support it. Help...I know my daughter needs to be on autoimmune protocol, but refuses to exclude grains and legumes. I can make her chicken but can't do red meat, never ever could tolerate the smell of cooking flesh. Not total hippie, not about animal rights, though I do love animals. It's about the smell of burnt flesh and Vado vegan response." (16:36) Stacy says there are ways to not create the smell of burnt flesh: slow cooking or braising, for example. Or using premade broth. There are ways to transition to AIP that will help her with her nutrient deficiencies in things like B12, K2, etc. Transition first away from grains and beans, like using less harmful grains like white rice. Start with eggs and seafoods as proteins first instead of moving right into red meat. More vegetables to replace beans and grains. Then when she's with her father, ask for something simple like chicken and rice casserole. But it's a huge change to go straight to AIP! Start slowly! Sarah sees a need to have a conversation around food with her daughter about figuring out how to change to a better diet. Paleo is definitely something to try for eczema! Sarah found paleo that way! Eggs, Dairy, Grains are all common links with eczema Try a paleo diet with rice and may be with soaked and well prepared beans. But not peanuts or kidney beans! Instead of red meat, try shellfish and fatty fish instead for the same nutrients! Sarah recommends going dairy free as well. Try Paleo Principles, Real Life Paleo and The Paleo Approach as well! Track your nutrients with stuff like MyFitnessPal or Chronometer. Having data will help her have a conversation with her dad. At 16, she can also take ownership of cooking and shopping for herself as well. But she needs the education to want to buy in herself as well. See Planning ahead podcasts: TPV Podcast, Episode 205, Melissa Joulwan and the Weekly Cookup and TPV Podcast, Episode 182, How to “Do it All” In a Healthy Way Empower her to set her up for success. Broiled fish might be a good choice, as well as cooking outside to eliminate the smell. Use an aluminum pouch to contain the smell. Familiarity is crucial to our preference for foods.

That year, she also underwent a thyroidectomy. In the aftermath of the surgery and recovery, she became particularly interested in how diet affects hormones, body composition, mood, and motivation.

Her first cookbook Well Fed appeared on the Wall Street Journal best sellers list, and she’s the author of the recipes in the New York Times bestselling book It Starts With Food by Melissa and Dallas Hartwig.

LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 201 - We’re LISTENER-SUPPORTED: - - - - - - SECRET HEADLINE: - - - - - - - Zucchini Pasta with Chicken & Pistachios Recipe from Well Fed Weeknights: Complete Paleo Meals in 45 Minutes Or Less by Melissa Joulwan This recipe is an homage to the pasta recipes that show up on food magazine covers every spring. You know the ones: They feature a bowl of pasta flecked with herbs and golden chicken—and smiling, painfully chic people gathered around a picnic table on a hillside, all bathed in dappled sunlight. It makes you want to immediately pack a bag and buy a ridiculously expensive last-minute ticket to Tuscany. I’m here to remind you of a few key points: (a) Plan your trips more deliberately than that; (b) You are equally as stunning as those people; and (c) This recipe is a mini vacation anytime you need it. Serves 2–4 Total time: 35–40 minutes Tools: spiralizer, meat hammer, colander INGREDIENTS: NOODLES: 2–2 1⁄2 pounds zucchini 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper CHICKEN: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4–6 ounces each) 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or ghee 1 teaspoon salt 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper AROMATICS: 2 scallions 7–10 fresh mint leaves 1⁄4 cup shelled pistachios 1 tablespoon lemon juice Prep the noodles. Julienne the zucchini with the spiralizer. Place the noodles in a colander and toss them with the salt until the strands are lightly coated. Set the colander in the sink to drain while you prep the other ingredients. Cook the chicken. Pound the chicken to 1⁄2-inch thickness between two pieces of plastic wrap with the smooth side of the meat hammer, then slice it crosswise into strips. Warm the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, 2–3 minutes. Add the chicken, sprinkle it with the salt and pepper, then toss to coat it in the oil. Spread the chicken in a single layer and let it cook undisturbed, 2–3 minutes. Flip with a spatula, separating the pieces and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes on the other side. Continue to flip and cook the chicken until it’s browned and sizzling on most sides, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Prep the aromatics. Thinly slice the scallions, mince the mint leaves, and coarsely chop the pistachios. Add everything to a bowl with the lemon juice, mix with a fork, and place nearby because the next part goes quickly. Finish the noodles. Place the olive oil in a small bowl. Peel and crush the garlic, then add it to the bowl with the oil. Add the cumin and pepper to the bowl, mix with a fork, and set it nearby. Rinse the zucchini noodles under running water, drain them well, and squeeze them in a clean dish towel to remove excess water. Return the skillet you used for the chicken to the stove and reheat it over medium-high heat, 2–3 minutes. Place the prepared zucchini noodles in the dry pan and sauté them until just tender, 2–3 minutes. Push the noodles to the side of the pan, and reduce the heat to medium low. Add the garlic oil to the pan and cook for 20 seconds, stirring constantly. Push the zucchini noodles into the oil and stir gently until they’re coated. Turn o the heat and add the chicken to the noodles, along with the mint-pistachio mixture. Toss to combine. To serve, divide the pasta among individual bowls and arm everyone with a big spoon to twirl the strands.

Melissa is into the weekly batch cooking process and writes about it in both books as well as her blog. Melissa uses this process so that she can decide on the spur of the moment what to have and prepare very quickly. She divides it into two sets of food kinds: Recipes and Piles (Hot Plates). More on Hot Plates here. They're essentially throwing together meat, veggies, spices and sauce very quickly. She just has a series of prepared "piles" of ingredients you can quickly throw together in a stir fry.

She also says that people eat 1-2 servings of fruit and 2 cups of vegetables per day. Eat Like a Dinosaur has a favorite cookup recipe, Halupki Casserole. Yes, me and my brothers all raced through dinners. But it was because there was only ever enough to give seconds to two or three of us! And we liked eating! And there were 4 of us!
