Totally belongs in the "things that may sound dirty to some" spot.

OMG.....have I a hairy stamen?? :unsure: ...Or are they supposed to be hairy? I suppose it depends, as do many things, upon which country you are in.. .... . ....

North Americans cannot abide hairy stamens, methinks. . . ... :huh::lol:

Susan Boyle is SUBO? GAHHH! :lol::lol:

OMG - yesterday a big old laaaaaaaaazy bumble bee flew into my yard :lol: I snackled and called out "oh Lloyd, LLOYD, is that you????" but he didn't answer so, I guess it was someone else.

....Have NOT seen Lloyd 'round these parts in a couple of days. . . ... :unsure: ....could he have high-tailed it to CA in that time? Actually, he could have just died. How long do bumble bees live? Some insects are around for less than a day, methinks......Lloyd: FOUR YEARS, and counting. :rolleyes::lol:

I made that orange-almond cake referenced in the starbucks thread ---- DROOOOOOLLLLLLL

I had to take some to my neighbor to keep from eating the entire pan in two days. She and her mom thought it was so good they came over demanding the recipe.

Seriously tasty.

I must try this recipe!

Stupid question--are the oranges peeled before you boil them?

mushroom Proficient

Here I is anyway. Got nowt much to say though.

Don't see many Lloyds where we will be next week, but lots of grey squirrels, Douglas squirrels, big fat ground squirrels (I guess in some places you call them prairie dogs--issay the same thing?) and plenty of mountain jays, quail, some bobtail rabbits (and CATS :o ). If we decide to fill the feeder on the tree all hell breaks loose, with the squirrels devising means to get at it, the jays making tremendous commotions and swinging wildly to and fro (I hate those noisy blighters) and generally scaring the heeell out of the wildlife populace, and the ground feeders getting the most because the jays knock it all on the ground and the rabbits and quail and other little birds and other peace-luvin critters sneak in when no-one's looking....probably won't fill the feeder! :(

The antarctic express made another unscheduled stop yesterday, shooing us on our way with more snow and hail so that we had to light the Tulikivi to keep ourselphs toasty. Shoulda left weeks ago. Guess I should think about packing somethings?? do you think?? :rolleyes:

Hi all B)

Got naught but wanted to say hey ya'll :D

Mark and I took a nice walk tonight after dinner--down by the canal. It was hot today, but cooled down nicely by this evening and it seemed less humid.

Went to Starbucks today and got a little adventurous :P I had an Awake Tea Latte--I told the barista about my cross contamination concerns, so he frothed the skim milk in a disposable cup and didn't use a spoon--just poured it in. It was delicious--and I got to order a "fancy" drink!! :rolleyes:

Not stupid. I had to look it up. Don't peel them, boil them whole. When they are all gooshy take off the stem bit, and cut them open to get out any seeds. I also added a shot of almond extract to mine, but I have this thing about never doing anything the same way someone else did it.

5.1??? Were you even conscious?

This would be a good time to explain that Canada uses a different scale than the US.

5.1 mmol/l would be 92 on the US scale of mg/dl. To convert, multiply/divide by 18.

Nowt else to add tonight.

Think that orange cake recipe would work with honey instead of sugar?

I was wondering if agave would work as well. I think you might need to increase the almonds by a bit, maybe 1/3 of a cup? Or bake it a bit longer, or in a larger pan so it's thinner.

I think you could also decrease the sugar/sweetener by about half and it would still be fabulous.

I'M BAAACK!!!!!!!!!!

Been MIA for days and only had 7 or 8 pages to read......WIH? :huh:

We've been having computer issues. Have a laptop, now.......we're ignoring the desktop computer til it decides to get it's act together<_<

Brian got his leg Friday and he hasn't sit still since then! :lol:

I can nae keep up with him, cuz I still has pneumonia :( . I used the last of me prescription Sat. Went to the doc today cuz I'm still coughin with stuff rattlin around in me chest and makin me dizzy and not breathin up to par. He says it's not any better.

Soooooo........another 10 days of a stronger antibiotic, then back to the doc. He says it's not bad enough to require hospitalization. At least there's no more fever and the coughing isn't as frequent.

How are the bug bites, Suze? Bed bugs are makin the news lately.......practically an epidemic. That was my DD's problem......not lupus of the skin like the doc said. She originally thought it was fleas......so they bombed they're apt. Then had the manager bring in an exterminator. Then went to a dermatologist. Didn't know it was bedbugs til they moved out and found a nest of them under the boxsprings! :o Never had problems before they moved into that apartment.

Nik!.........is your visitor here, yet? :P See...........that is why 50 is so awesome! B)

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
