I love bubble tea too! Chia seeds are a nice sib but they are tiny -- not the huge, chewy tapioca balls you typically find in bubble tea. But they're good anyway!

LOL! Must go shopping for telescoping desk legs now!

One of my favorite recipes ever! There's just no better bread/cracker recipe out there IMO! BTW, I've always been too lazy to add the optional sprouted peas. Did you do that part?

I'm not a good sleeper either, and I do these things all the time to help myself out:

1. Camomile tea
2. Lavender and/or geranium oil in a hot bath, on my temples, spritzed on bedding.
3. Epsom...

Hey,

I lived and gardened in Austin for 20 years. Now I live 20 miles outside of Austin.

Those books that were recommended are great! Just keep in mind that Austin has a unique climate. ...

I'm not crazy about a lot of recipes I try either. How different all our tastes are! I agree with the other poster who likes a few very intense ingredients rather than lots and lots of different...

Yes! I have his book and have made lots of his recipes. They look much more complicated than they are. He uses dozens of different spices sometimes, which makes the ingredient list look crazy. I...

I'm with you Rowan! That micronized zinc oxide is some scary stuff. Even mainstream scientists are worried about it. I read a long thing in Scientific American on a plane a few months ago that...

Some info about freezing:

Commercial frozen veggies are blanched before they're frozen.

Seeds can be frozen and then still sprout. In fact, a group I belong to had a scientist from the...

Hey!

I'm near Austin. Where is Little Elm?

I've heard you can make a coconut water kefir. Wonder if you could do the same with yogurt? Just use a starter + coco water?

Even 100% juice concentrate has been pasteurized. :(

Sadly, all liquor is distilled -- that is, all liquor is cooked. Don't know about the beer making process except that when Mr Asil used to home brew, he used a cooked method. But maybe there are...

Hi there,

I don't have osteoporosis and I don't know what I'd do if I did. It's a very scary condition and several people in my family, both grandmothers and my mother, suffered greatly because...

For ten years I lived 5 minutes from lots of great shops. Then I moved to a rural area, at least an hour from any type of store at all, and 90 minutes to stores with a decent amount of organics. At...

Well, I had my thyroid irradiated but that usually doesn't kill off the entire thing -- it just takes out some part of it and it's unpredictable as to how much. SO if I started needing less in the...

I think we are talking about saffron. If so, it's way more than color. It has a delicious, subtle flavor, much nicer than turmeric, IMO. In cooked, we used it all the time in rice dishes,...

Ha! Me too! I can get so lazy! And to top it off, raw recipes are a bit of a gamble -- I find I like about 1 in 5 that I try. But I've found a few that I really like (for me, Alissa's flax...

Hi! Thought I'd join this thread.

1. My sweet husband, who can do so many things and shows his love by *doing*.
2. My mother, who stays strong in illness.
3. My father, who tenderly cares for...

Hi!

I agree not to worry too much about spinich as long as it's raw. But I was also wondering if you're able to make your own sprouts so that you can have some variety with your greens. It's...

Hi! I live in a hot and steamy climate too! I've rarely had troubles with mold or fermenting, though, unless I leave things too long. Do you not have air conditioning? Because this should control...

Hey! I don't have kids but my husband is the same way. :) He loves most raw foods and eats very high raw. And most of the cooked foods he eats (at least those he eats at home :) ) are the best one...

I think it's pretty impossible to find good mangoes in the winter. They're pretty delicate fruits. I'm not really sure how finding summer fruits in winter works. Where are they coming from? ...

Lately I've been liking marinated, then warmed in the dehydrator, veggies on a bed of lettuce. They remind me of my pre-raw days when I used to get this great pan fried potato with garlic over...

Well, a few years ago I got really sick -- Graves Disease, very severe, which among other things caused my thyroid to go into overdrive. I lost quite a bit of weight, had heart palpitations, and...
