Peggy,

That would be awesome if you could find it! I used to can a lot of tomatoes -

and I mean a LOT - but I never ever tried to make plain old tomato soup. I

guess because - like myself - my kids liked 's and we were all just so

used to it. I always used my canned tomatoes for chili. ;-)

> Hi ,

>  

> You reminded me...my Dad always had a garden and my Mom always canned whatever

we didn't eat fresh. She would make tomato soup by opening a jar of her

home-canned tomatoes (and NOT put through a sieve, thank you very much!) and

adding a pinch of baking soda as well as some milk. This was a huge favorite in

our house, and she told me that the last meal my Dad requested before he died

was a bowl of her tomato soup.

make the very best tomato juice in the world, also. It was thick and we used it

to make sloppy joes. Tasted just like Manwich tastes. She always had so many

compliments on it - should have taken the recipe to the patent office, huh?

I think you will like the Healthy Juicer as a starter. I have one (my first

juicer) and it serves the purpose very well. I juice wheatgrass and all kinds of

greens, cukes, celery, beets, fruit, etc. in it w/o problems. Occasionally if

you have an unusually stringy piece, it will kind of just go round and round the

auger, but it's quick and simple to get it unwound. If it gets really hard to

grind, just reverse the handle for a couple of turns and that usually solves the

problem. I don't think you can beat it for the money.

Oh my, can you be sure you have your camcorder going when they do? That ought

to make a great video!

I have stopped using my dishwasher as much but there are days when I make so

much of a mess that I go ahead and use it. It's either that or the dishes will

be stacked in the sink and then it will be hard to care for my sprouts. ;-)

I have also started a bokashi bucket and I got a composting crock to sit next to

the sink to put all my " trimmings " in. It takes awhile to get used to putting

them there instead of down the disposal or in the trash can.

I just made a great supper for myself. I'm going to call it " Refrigerator

Ragout " because I used all the veggies in my fridge that I thought might go

together: onion, zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant, spinach and the last of my

alfalfa sprouts. Boiled some butternut squash and had the " ragout " over it.

Yummy.

Wish me luck, I got my new Easy Sprouts and my wheatgrass supplies yesterday and

I have two different sprouting mixes going and enough wheat sprouting to start

my first 5x5 of wheatgrass. I'm going to see how the first batch goes before I

start any more. I also need to figure out when to get a juicer. I'm leaning

towards the Healthy Juicer to begin with.

AND GUESS WHAT I MADE TONIGHT???? Banana Ice Cream.

Easiest thing I have ever done. I bought some nice ripe bananas. I cut them

into chunks and I froze them. After they were frozen, I took them, placed them

in my food processor with a splash of my fat free milk and I added some splenda

(stevia would be fine.

I turned it on.

IT MADE ICE CREAM.

I then took portions and froze the portions.

I took the soft serve kind of ice cream that I just made and put some in a dish

and gave it to my husband.

He is now in love with banana ice cream. I tasted it, but of course, as a

diabetic, I wouldn't eat it. But tomorrow, I'm doing this with my frozen

blueberries, pouring them in my popsicle mold and I'll make blueberry popsicles.

This is so cool I can't tell you.

I've never done this.

I've actually made banana ice cream. AND IT TURNED OUT WONDERFUL.

Oh My!!

You're still going to get your organic seeds on line. My personal opinion is

that the organic movement is going to grow even bigger. There are a lot of good

people working towards that goal. Monsanto will fall. I hope that it's within my

life time.

Re: dancing and dentists

TOO funny! That's exactly how I grew up eating and then making " spaghetti

sauce " too! Undiluted 's Tomato Soup. I thought it was the only way to

make spaghetti for several years after I got married. I haven't done or thought

of that in years.

>

> Oh, I'm an expert all right. I married a man who, when we first got married,

told me " I like spaghetti with undiluted s Tomato Soup " . I said: " you

like WHAT?? " He said " that's right, just open a can of s Tomato soup and

pour it right on the cooked spaghetti " . Now who was I to tell this man what he

liked or did not like. This is how he was raised.

Guess what Melody bought this morning? Last week i saw an infomercial for this

gadget 'THE SALAD CHEF "

Now this thing is right up my alley. I love to find easy ways of chopping,

dicing and storing. I went online, watched the videos of this item, THEN I READ

THE REVIEWS. Everyone LOVED this product but HATED the customer service and

that they all got screwed by the company that sells this on their official

website.

It seems that you think you are paying $39.95 but once you input your credit

card number, there is no submit button. It just takes the info and BAM, charges

your credit card, adding all kinds of charges to the price. Most people wound

up paying at least $89.95 (because they add extra postage fees for bonus items.

Some people wound up paying $200 and one guy said " is this item worth the $200? "

well, yeah, it's great but they had some nerve doing this. No one is able to get

their money back. I've been looking into this item for about 10 days now.

I knew I could not trust the website that sold this item.

I just walked into Walgreens, went over to their AS SEEN ON TV aisle, and lo and

behold, there it was sitting on a shelf.

I picked it up, paid $39.95 and it's not on my kitchen counter.

You know I'LL MAKE A VIDEO when I open the box and start using this.

I also grow stevia.  It is a bit hard to start from seed, but I started some

years ago from a seedling and have been saving the seed from year to year. 

Once grown, you can easily dehydrate it and powder it.  I have noticed it has

become more popular in the last year or two.

use stevia now. I got some seeds and am going to plant it in my herb garden.

Since I am totally opposed to the use of artificial sweetners, here is a version

of your ice cream I discovered while doing a raw vegan diet. I don't eat

chocolate so I use carob powder.

Raw Vegan Ice Cream:

Very ripe bananas

dates soaked

cacoa nibs or I use carob powder

raw honey if desired or needed (not vegan and not usually needed)

Put bananas in food processor and puree. Add soaked dates and nibs or carob

powder. Blend. Freeze stirring occasionally.

I have taken this to work and shared with omnivore co-workers and they LOVED it.

Hi ,

 

I bought some Stevia seed at the Longevity conference a couple of weeks ago.

They're from a company called blackbirdnaturals and their address is

www.blackbirdnaturals.com Their profits go to organic gardens, specifically Food

Forest Projects. I think they're in MN. Anyway, I got about a dozen seeds in a

small tin and I don't want to waste them. What tips can you give me about

growing them? Appreciate any and all!

 

I also bought a set of 8 organic heirloom seeds from them and am eager to get

started with those. They are: English breafast radish (radish for breakfast? I

don't know, but...), Chatenay carrot, Siberian kale, lemon cucumber, chioggia

beet, and arugula. The orach spinach and cherry tomato seeds are listed as wild,

organic, open pollinated.

 

If you have a minute or two, take a look at their site. I watched some of

the videos and was impressed. Talked with at the conference, as well as

a couple of the girls, and they were all very knowledgeable and

truly dedicated. Wish me luck with the seeds!

 

Peggy

 

ps...anyone else with any knowledge to impart is welcome to jump in here, too!

Dates are a dried fruit--a very sweet dried fruit. (More abundant in stores

around Christmas time.) Put them in a small bowl of water. For 5 bananas, use a

dozen dates...more or less...

If you can't find dates, you can use raw honey. Not the stuff at regular grocery

stores--raw honey. Or agave nectar if you want to be vegan about it.

Just steer clear of the artifical sweetners...even the ones they claim to be

" made from real sugar " ...they are horrible for diabetics and everyone else for

that matter.

Peggy, you made a wonderful choice with your selection of seeds!  All of those

are great veggies, and relatively easy to grow-the red core chantenay carrots

are wonderful flavored carrots, but they are quick to bolt.  I will be happy to

give you tips on the stevia and other veggies.  I am too whipped to do so

tonight-been on a 200 mile round trip unexpected road trip today-came back with

nothing but an extra teenager and a new bag of sprout seeds, lol. 

===========================================

Melody, talk to you Dr. about Splenda. My Dr. told me not to use it anymore. I

use stevia now. I got some seeds and am going to plant it in my herb garden.

AND GUESS WHAT I MADE TONIGHT???? Banana Ice Cream.

Easiest thing I have ever done. I bought some nice ripe bananas. I cut them into

chunks and I froze them. After they were frozen, I took them, placed them in my

food processor with a splash of my fat free milk and I added some splenda

(stevia would be fine.

I turned it on.

IT MADE ICE CREAM.

I then took portions and froze the portions.

I took the soft serve kind of ice cream that I just made and put some in a dish

and gave it to my husband.

He is now in love with banana ice cream. I tasted it, but of course, as a

diabetic, I wouldn't eat it. But tomorrow, I'm doing this with my frozen

blueberries, pouring them in my popsicle mold and I'll make blueberry popsicles.

This is so cool I can't tell you.

Melody, I just buy whatever dates are available (preferably at the Farmers

Market, but they're really pricey there, so usually it's CostCo). Cut them in

half lengthwise and take out the seed. Put them in a jar or a bowl, cover with

water (cool), and leave overnight. Mine are usually very soft by morning. I do

this when I'm making almond milk. I was soaking the dates and almonds together,

but someone said that isn't a good idea because of the enzyme inhibitors in the

almonds getting into the water. They don't look wonderful after soaking, but

they're still very tasty and the grind/blend up easily after their water bath!

 

Good luck!

Peggy

Okay, sounds good. I'll give it a try. Please explain how one soaks dates and

for how long. Do I buy fresh dates, or freeze dried dates? I've never had dates

before so I don't know anything about dates.

Thanks

chocolate so I use carob powder.

Raw Vegan Ice Cream:

Very ripe bananas

dates soaked

cacoa nibs or I use carob powder

raw honey if desired or needed (not vegan and not usually needed)

Put bananas in food processor and puree. Add soaked dates and nibs or carob

powder. Blend. Freeze stirring occasionally.

I have taken this to work and shared with omnivore co-workers and they LOVED it.

BTW, a friend sent me a beautiful cookbook (can't remember if you're totally

raw) and there's a neat-sounding recipe for Little Quinoa Patties in there that

I plan to make tomorrow. Knowing your passion for quinoa, here it is, in case

you're interested: sorry, I also don't remember if your allergies extend to the

other ingredients, but if so, I have no doubts about your ability to find

substitutes!

 

Cook 2 cups well-rinsed uncooked quinoa with 3 cups water and 1/2 tsp fine grain

sea salt in a med. saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, decrease the heat, and

simmer for 25-30 minutes until the quinoa is tender and you can see the little

quinoa curlicues.

 

2 1/2 C cooked quinoa

4 lg eggs, beaten

1/2 tsp fine-grain sea salt

1/3 C finely chopped fresh chives

1 yellow or white onion, finely chopped

1/3 C freshly grated Parmesan or Gruyere cheese

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 C whole grain bread crumbs, plus more if needed

water if needed

1 T EVOO or clarified butter

 

Combine quinoa, eggs, sea salt in a bowl. Add chives, onion, cheese, and garlic,

stir. Add bread crumbs, stir, and let sit for a few minutes so the crumbs can

absorb some of the moisture. You should have a mixture you can easily form into

twelve 1 " thick patties. Adjust moisture with water or bread crumbs, but err on

the side of moist.

 

Heat oil in heavy skillet over med-low heat. Add six patties and cook 7-10 " or

until the bottoms are deeply browned. Turn up the heat if they're not browning

after 10 " . Carefully flip the patties and cook second sides for 7 " . Cool on wire

rack while you cook the remainder.

 

Or you can keep the uncooked mixture in the fridge for a few days and cook the

patties to order!

 

 

The book is called " super natural every day " by Heidi Swanson and is a gorgeous

book with lots of wonderful pictures and great-sounding recipes.

If you want to get the spinner, you have to go to the Salad Chef official

website. Just google Salad Chef and you'll see the link. But be very careful.

Every single review I've read HATES THE COMPANY THAT SELLS IT, but LOVES the

actual item.

If you buy this in the store, it doesn't come with the spinner. And if you buy

it online, you pay SEPARATE S & H for the smaller blade and the spinner. So that's

how they get you.

Some people actually had their credit cards charged $200 for this item.

can you believe that?

So how do you get the spinner or any other items for this?

I am a person that likes the whole set of things.

Re: Re: dancing and dentists

Guess what Melody bought this morning? Last week i saw an infomercial for

this gadget 'THE SALAD CHEF "

Now this thing is right up my alley. I love to find easy ways of chopping,

dicing and storing. I went online, watched the videos of this item, THEN I

READ THE REVIEWS. Everyone LOVED this product but HATED the customer

service and that they all got screwed by the company that sells this on

their official website.

It seems that you think you are paying $39.95 but once you input your credit

card number, there is no submit button. It just takes the info and BAM,

charges your credit card, adding all kinds of charges to the price. Most

people wound up paying at least $89.95 (because they add extra postage fees

for bonus items. Some people wound up paying $200 and one guy said " is this

item worth the $200? " well, yeah, it's great but they had some nerve doing

this. No one is able to get their money back. I've been looking into this

item for about 10 days now.

I knew I could not trust the website that sold this item.

I just walked into Walgreens, went over to their AS SEEN ON TV aisle, and lo

and behold, there it was sitting on a shelf.

I picked it up, paid $39.95 and it's not on my kitchen counter.

You know I'LL MAKE A VIDEO when I open the box and start using this.
