Re: A new sprout lady in your midsts

[Guest guest]

Not silly at all.  I eat a LOT of sunnies and soaks, and have them growing

constantly.  Most of the sunflower lettuce is tender if I pick it soon enough,

but starts to get a bit tough if I don't.  I juices up a batch of tough ones

once, just because I didn't want to throw them away, and it tasted delicious, so

I just started doing it every morning.  More of an accident gone right, lol.

Yes, PLENTY of commercial seafood available, but they treat fish with an

antimicrobial that I am highly allergic to, and the last 4 times I ate

commercial seafood, I ended up in the hospital!  Also, most farmed fish is fed

soy and corn (duh, WHY feed a fish soy and corn?) , both of which I am also

allergic to, and farmed fish are given medications and antibiotics. 

Unfortunately, I have learned the hard way that the ONLY way for my food to be

safe for me to eat is to grow it or catch it myself.  I live very close to the

best fishing in the country, but I only go fishing when the mood strikes me or I

am craving fish.  Otherwise, I am pretty content with my veggie diet...at least

I stay out of the ER, lol.

Try the fish at this site. Pricy but very good!

http://www.wildplanetfoods.com. They only have canned fish but it can be bought

at local grocery stores. I tried a few and they were quite good. No additives at

all !!!

I also did not know store fish was sprayed with gunk. Maybe that is one of the

reasons I don't like store bouht fish. I live near the coast so if we want

fresh fish we get it from the boats or a few select stores that get it direct

from the fisherman. I have not seen any live fish for sale however! A rule of

thumb, if you can smell the fish it is old and yucky!!

Hi

Oh my goodness, the prices of their canned fish!!! And there are shipping

charges to boot. When I saw Five bucks for a can of tuna I said HOLY COW. But I

did some digging to find a show near me and it indicated SHOP RITE.

So, you know Melody, when I go to ShopRite again, I'll go down the tuna aisle

and buy a can. I bet it will be the best tasting can of tuna I ever ate.

Thanks much

Melody

Yah, the shipping sucks! I can get the fish slightly cheaper at the store and

NOT pay shipping! It is still pricy so I eat it as a treat!

Melody,

There are some freshwater/ocean fish whose heads needed to be hit hard to knock

them down. Catfish and mud fish have to undergo such treatments. Mud fish

jumps. Can you imagine if the fishmonger just bagged it? It would be jumping

with the bag all over the poor guys vehicle. LOL.

Did you know if you gently stroked the lobster on its forehead it would go to

sleep? Try it.

[Guest guest]

All I know is that poor fish two a lot of bangs on the head before he stopped

flapping around.

And you want me to stroke a lobster on it's forehead??? Seriously?? I HAVE TO

GET A VIDEO OF ALAN DOING THAT.

But first I have to go and find a live lobster somewhere.

lol lol lol

Thanks again, that'll give me lots to try. Appreciate it.

Add to that list: Carnation petals, Chive flowers, Daisy petals, Daylily petals,

hibiscus petals, honeysuckle petals, lavender flowers, rose petals and sunflower

petals. Caution, make sure that none of these have been sprayed with or fed

poison to dissuade insects.

I just put a handful of sunflower greens in my Vitamix and buzz it up with a

little water. I haven't tried it in my Champion, but I am sure that would work

too.

This is a great series of 3 videos of how to sprout wheatgrass, peas,

sunflowers, and buckwheat w/ soil in trays. I have the link to the second

below....great info on planting seeds in trays, especially the sunflower

seeds which don't need soil on top of them , and do better weighed down in

early stages.....

Oh, can't say yet, I haven't bought them. They have this big box in the

store and I have to go and look. Before I buy them, I'll see what kind they

offer then I will come back and post here. You can then say " that's a good

one, or ..not that type "

Wonderful, !  Let me know how they turn out.  I keep several trays of

sunnies on the go at all times, so I have fresh greens daily.  I adore them!

Today I tried CHOPPING my sprouts in my new gadget The Salad Chef. Now this

things chops and dices everything. When I put my sprouts in the bowl I have to

take a fork and make sure they are all separated or else when I start eating, I

could grab a big forkful and stuff it in my mouth.

So I took a bunch of sprouts, placed it on the chopping blade, slammed the top

thing down, EXPECTING THE SPROUTS TO BE CHOPPED AND FALL THROUGH THE BLADE

HOLES, right?

Didn't happen. Instead the sprouts got stuck and never fell through. I had to

MANUALLY take out the sprouts, trying to get each and every one out of the blade

thing and the whamming thing. I'll never do THAT again.

So, for the rest of the sprouts, I found an easier way to chop them up. Worked

like a charm. Can you guess what I did.

I took my kitchen shears and SNIP SNIP SNIP, and they all got chopped.

Now THAT'S a way to make a salad

Hey , thanks for that link. I loved chopped salad and my wife bought me

one of those and I didn't know how to use it properly. I tried to chop the salad

fixings on the chopping block. It didn't work, so I put the thing away. Now

after seeing the video, I can use it.

LOL, EW!  When they first came out a few years back, they had a demo video that

they were playing at a kitchen shop-I couldn't resist!  Love it!

I ordered sunflower seed yesterday and am going to try them too. With all the

leftover soil I have from my raised beds, I decided that it makes sense to try

sunnies and arugula.

I cut the first tray of wheatgrass tonight. I was afraid that it would get too

big before my juicer gets here and I'd rather have it a bit too " young " than to

go too long. I'm planting a new tray every night now so I should have my " shot "

a day all worked out.

Our Farmer's market opened today. I'm ashamed to say that I'd never gone

before. I was always too lazy to get up and get there on a Saturday morning.

There's a gal who has micro greens and it was all I could do not to buy a whole

flat (8 5x5 trays). I restrained myself and only bought one 5x5 tray of cress.

She said that her method is to cut them first as " micro greens " then let the

seeds that didn't make it through the first time grow until they are bigger and

those are considered " baby greens " . ;-)

Micro greens and baby greens are wonderful-I harvest at least a tray a day, and

it is so much fun to see them grow so fast-nice to " plant " something and eat if

for dinner in just a short time!  I hope you enjoy yours!
