It was such a mess. I almost got the first one and she freaked and sprayed me with dirt. So now my eyes are streaming from the dirt in them and I'm spitting it out of my mouth, and it starts to rain. I dust off a bit and manage to catch her and stuff her in the coop, then go after the other one. By the time I catch her it's really raining so when I pick her up she coats me with mud. And this is not chucks of dirt, this is the fine dust that has settled into her feathers that she manages to spray me with and it sticks to my wet face and arms. I think only a mud spraying device could have been a more effective dirtifier.

Jyesss's kids are now going through that stage where she's counting the moments until they move out. . .. . . .... :P

Not sure what that could be. Be careful! It might burn!

Its been cloudy here but no rain on the radar. Got ready to go out & plant some flowers. Opened the door and it started pouring! Guess I'm not supposed to garden today.

Just got back from the Chimacum Farmer's Market where I purchased half a cow from someone who is lucky he was born into a farming family.... :unsure::ph34r:

As a bonus I got to hear Ravel's Bolero on banjo. :huh:

Was watching the last few laps of the Indy 500. When I first started watching, a guy named Baguette was leading! Since his first name wasn't Gluten Free, I hoped he wouldn't win. He didn't. He had to make a pit stop.

Okay, I'll ask the obvious question - HIH is that going to fit in your refrigerator? And was it the right or left half?

I'm assuming that Jyesss has a good-sized chest freezer.

Hmm. Left or right half. . . . . ....is one better than the other? I suppose that would depend on whether the poor creature was right or left-handed - - its dominant side would likely be ropey and tough, with all that used muscle matter... . . . . . ... ..

Right, then, so anyone who's considering butchering me for their freezer, call dibs on my RIGHT half, as I'm a southpaw.....

I'd want the back half, cuz you have to feed the front half. :ph34r:

It'll be a month before we get it. They actually take the cows in for "processing" per order. I'm dividing it up amongst me, BE, and some friends of mine.

OMG :lol:

Love how they have the "starter" products.. . . . . .but DH would need the industrial, "sewn around the edges", reinforced model.. . . ..

Or, wait!! He should probably just move to the big guns - - that suit at the bottom of the page that you just zip around your entire body.......

      New Study Finds 1 in 10 Celiac Patients May Have Additional Autoimmune Disorders (+Video)

      Kinda glad I read this and some related materials. My celiac symptoms seem mild and I sometimes question if the hassle of the gluten-free diet/lifestyle is worth it for mild symptoms. This is one of the answers to that. gluten-free diet can delay onset/progression of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome, but cannot reverse it.

      Interesting I read that toasted kasha groats have nutty flavor which I thought like oatmeal with banana and yogurt. Yes quinoa I have for dinner looking to switch oatmeal to buckwheat for breakfast. I have to look into amaranth

      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat...

      The basic seems more like oatmeal. You can also add yogurt banana to it like oatmeal right. I see rinsing as first step in basic recipes like this one https://busycooks.com/how-to-cook-toasted-buckwheat-groats-kasha/ I don't understand why since kasha is toasted and not raw. What about buckwheat flake cereal or is this better to go with.

It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat it plain, like rice, with chicken stock or other savory things, or with coconut milk. Since coconut milk works, I would think yogurt would work (with the quinoa). I went to the link you posted. I really don't know why they rinse the kasha. I've eaten it for decades and never rinsed it. Other than that, her recipe seems fine (that is, add the buckwheat with the water, rather than wait until the water is boiling). She does say something that I forgot: you want to get roasted/toasted buckwheat or you will need to toast it yourself. I've never tried buckwheat flakes. One potential issue with flakes is that there are more processing steps and as a rule of thumb, every processing step is another opportunity for cross-contamination. I have tried something that was a finer grind of the buckwheat than the whole/coarse and I didn't like it as much. But, maybe that was simply because it wasn't "normal" to me, I don't know.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease can have neurological associations, but the better-described ones include gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, headaches or migraine, seizures, cognitive symptoms, and, rarely, cerebral calcifications or white-matter changes. Some studies and case reports describe brain white-matter lesions in people with celiac disease, but these are not specific to celiac disease and can have many other explanations. A frontal lobe lesion could mean many different things depending on the exact wording of the report: a white-matter spot, inflammation, demyelination, a small old stroke, migraine-related change, infection, trauma, vascular change, seizure-related change, tumor-like lesion, artifact, or something that resolved on repeat imaging. The word “transient” usually means it changed or disappeared, which can happen with some inflammatory, seizure-related, migraine-related, vascular, or imaging-artifact situations.  Hopefully they will find nothing serious.
