I was jumping up and down today because OUR forecast for Thursday and Friday is...........((((drumroll)))...........+ 4! (That'd be, oh, what, 38 F?)

:o don't tell Leesah that 38 = 3 + 8 which equals...... 11 *gasp* :lol: :lol:

heading out now but just have one last refrain running through me head:

♫ "fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive goldennnnnnnn Twaaaaa" ♫

:lol:

Thanks for making me smile, psillies. Having a bit of a meltdown today.........just get me through Christmas and the rest of winter, and I'll be fine.

I can't believe ya'll got through the entire song before I could join in <_< .......but that's OK......I got nothin, anyway. I figured there should be kittehs in there somewhere.......someone want to help me out?

I thought the Twa were small enough to live under Nikerler's stairs? :huh::unsure:

Brobd-WHAT??

Talked to my lil buddy Nicole today, on her 1st Bday of teen-dom, and was surprised that .. .. .well not that she wanted an mp3 player, but that she specifically said SanDisk - not iPod!!!!!!!!!!

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii work at SanDisk :o , and it still seems strange that a chip company makes consumer products.

[Edit: D'oh!!! Got that inadvertant italicizationizing again . .. ..and after quoting Em .. . .imagine that! :P ]

:huh: Ooops! Leeeessssaaaa, (and all you other psillies); I didn't mean to hog all of the fun with the lyrics, but it was just......just......just so much fuunnnn!!! NO reason it has to stop with 12. I thought this place was for outside reason and logic. I hope so anyway.

Sorry you are having meltdown today, too, Leesa. Maybe it's cosmic. Maybe it's only for names that rhyme, like, Leeesssa, Treeessa.....there are other people out there whose names rhyme with ours and they are all having a meltdown today. Tomorrow will be fine (okay?).

G'nite all of you. You have all made my day (to not be a total loss). That doesn't sound quite right. In any event...you make my days bearable. Thanks

By the way, no Kittehs, no kittehs, I should at least have virtual kittehs! Can I share some of yours?

flourgirl Apprentice

I just thought of something. Is Twa, still Twa in the plural or do you add an "S". Like......Twa's the night before Christmas.....

Ha!! Yer right! :lol:

Actually, I think the Twa people are Pygmies. .. . ....maybe five feet tall?

Brobd-WHAT??

:lol: The magical land where Gulliver washed up ashore and found himself amongst looming giants was Brobdignag. It's a great name. . .. ..

Must go say it in front of the mirror.......

Oh Lisa, HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you ever thought about getting one of those lights for SAD in the cold and wintry months?? Not suggesting you have SAD, but I wonder if it would help during the time of year when there is less sun and warm weather?

Good Morning fellow Sillies :) We got some snow overnight. Didn't we have enough of the damn stuff last winter. I guess Mother Nature is helping the city get the record for precipitation for a year. It can't take much more for the record considering the snow and rain we've had this past year.

Happy Birthday Suzie :)

      makes sense. sometimes you learn one path and never question it until you see someone take a different path
    • xxnonamexx
      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 
    • Aretaeus Cappadocia
      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 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.
    • xxnonamexx
      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. 
    • Scott Adams
      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.
