Are you on the ‘Making a Murderer’ train yet? I swear it’s the only thing people are talking about at my gym right now. There’s no chance of entering a conversation that doesn’t utter the words “Steven Avery.” Luckily, I’m on the train so I have something to connect with people about. Sad, but true.
Let’s talk about this. Because this sh*t is so confusing. So SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t seen the whole season yet, turn away. Honestly, after I finished the season, I started looking up Buzzfeed articles and reading about other suspects. You finish the season and you’re just not satisfied. There’s just no way to feel 100% about him killing anyone. WHO TO BELIEVE. It felt like so many pieces were left out the entire time.
And then you’re left there, on the couch, wondering how many other people are in jail for a crime they didn’t commit. That’s a frightening thought.
You know what I hated the most during all 10 episodes? The prosecutor. His voice is one of the creepiest voices I’ve ever heard. On more than one occasion, I mentioned to my fiancé that he is totally molester. No doubt in my mind. And BOOM, he gets fired for sending gross text messages to a minor that was from a domestic abuse case he was working on. How gross is he? How can you trust someone like that? Ew. He’s so gross.
This has become a really intense blog post. I tend to not talk about things that upset people. Like religion or politics. I leave that sh*t alone. But I still upset people by cussing. Can’t win it all. But ‘Making a Murderer’ has to be talked about it. Do you think he did it? Let’s chat this over.

For the bulgogi
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons freshly minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1/2 pear, grated
- 1 tablespoon coconut vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 pounds flank or hanger steak, thinly sliced against the grain
For the spicy pickled cucumbers
- 1 cucumber, sliced very thin with mandolin

GIRL. My boyfriend and I watched the show in 3 days and then all I wanted to do was read Making a Murderer theories online! Reddit (don’t go there, it’s a never-ending rabbit hole) has me convinced that Scott and Bobby very likely could have committed the crime. But even if you think Steven and Brendan are guilty, you pretty much have to agree that those trials were a sham. And yes, Ken is a creep.
Also, this recipe looks amazing.
The Reddit feed is insane. There’s a dropbox folder linked in it with the entire transcript of Brenden’s testimony (among other things).
Oh my gosh my in-laws and I went through that show all New Years Eve. It was an incredibly unproductive day but you know how those Netflix binges go (#cantstopwontstop). I thought for sure Steven Avery was innocent and then I looked up all these other articles about evidence they left out of the documentary and now I’m more confused than ever. Hellpppp.
EVERYONE is talking about it! I haven’t watched yet because we’re in the middle of a Game of Thrones binge (I’m only like 5 years behind, right?)… so yeah I basically skipped your whole post, thanks for warning me of the spoilers. That beef bowl looks bomb.
GAH, so conflicted about that whole thing. I read a couple articles each day and still go back and forth. Regardless, it was not handled correctly and that whole justice system there is messed up. Did you see the the Buzzfeed article comparing Kratz’s voice to a sweaty, limp handshake? So spot on. 🙂
OMG THAT IS SPOT ON!! he’s the creepiest person i’ve seen in a while
GET IN MY MOUTH.
Could you suggest a different type of vinegar for this recipe (it does not necessarily need to be paleo)? We’re about to move and I’m trying to clean out the pantry. Thank you for any suggestions!
rice vinegar, if you aren’t sticking with strict paleo!
I love Bulgogi! Last time I tried to make it paleo the marinade lacked something but since I didn’t measure anything I had no idea how I was going to try again. So excited to try this! Thank you!
I live in east central WI so the Steven Avery saga is old news to me. I find it incredibly crazy that it’s created such a fever across the Nation. I feel so sorry for the Halbach family as they now have to relive this horror. We’ve had some crazies come out of WI that’s for sure! Hello Jeffrey Dahmer!
i can’t imagine being part of her family and having everyone talking about it all over again. it’s crazy i had never heard about the case in the first place.
On Episode 5 and it’s all I am thinking about. Ken is gross, I told my hubs last night he was a chimo. ICK! At least now I am thinking about dinner!
Thanks for turning me onto VS sports bras and tights. Grabbed the free pair of sports pants today with purchase of the bra! Score!
These bowls look so delicious! I love Korean food too–so spicy and flavorful!
