Thanks for the explanation Richard! I'm glad that incorporating some dairy is not a complete "no no" as I may end up incorporating some lower-lactose dairy into my paleo meal. I completely agree with you that cheese, creme fraiche, butter, etc. is much better than any fake stuff you find on many dinner tables these days.

Julie:<br /><br />Technically correct, but many Paleos incorporate dairy in some measure.<br /><br />The reason behind it is just like for grains, i.e., we weren&#39;t domesticating and milking animals until very recently in our evolution. And, in fact, lactose intolerance was universal until 8,000 years ago, an example of &quot;rapid evolution.&quot; At 3-4 years of age, we&#39;re genetically

Ryan- Maybe if you guys weren&#39;t moving to NY, I could make you a steak au poivre too. ;-) <br /><br />Richard- I was ramping up for Friday with this one...using more butter than I normally would. That&#39;s one thing I&#39;m confused about though- butter must not &quot;technically&quot; be paleo either, right? Since it&#39;s just churned cream? The technical paleo cooking fat would be actual

Julie:<br /><br />By my count, that dish is 99% Paleo. :)<br /><br />Creme fraiche isn&#39;t (dairy), but I use it all the time anyway -- and plus I&#39;m just about headed to Whole Foods for some raw whole milk. I&#39;m always telling people how much better creme fraiche is for cooking than sour creme.<br /><br />A fun variation might be to use coconut milk. I use it a whole lot (for curries,
