Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hey guys! Thanks for all the answers to my must-have books question. I'll have to check them all out! A couple of questions, what's the verdict on fruit? Or is it individual - some work for you, others don't? I love fruit and I definately crave it. My other question is what do you guys do for breakfast? Here's my story - I usually make myself some oatmeal at work and eat it at my desk. Ideally I need something that transports well, which cancels out miso soup. Have you guys found bancha twig tea at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's? Thanks in advance!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Twig tea does come in tea bags from a couple of different companies. You can order from the mail order or ask your health food stores to stock it for you. Special orders at Whole Foods often take one day. I love breakfast and share many of my recipes in my breakfast cookbook. Most mornings I have whole grains and tea. In the beginning I did the miso soup and greens with my grain but found I'm one of the rare folks who gets hungry all day long eating miso soup for breakfast and after many years of greens for breakfast they too have subsided and I have them at other meals. Keeping baked goods in the freezer makes it easy to take something out and heat it up or steam to defrost one or two days a week. I also have a lot of fast and easy recipes for waffles, pancakes and things. One guy I dated loved to take mochi waffles with us and then since my waffle iron ($7 from target) is so small with just took the waffle iron with us and the heart healthy batter that I have in that book doesn't need to be refrigerated for hours and stays great so we would travel with that instead of mochi. Pacific Bakery just sent me two new flavors - Multigrain seed bread and a cranberry date bread. Both would be an easy breakfast by steaming a slice or two. Yesterday I tried the seed one with a sweet vegetable spread and it was wonderful. Depending on what you are working on you might want to mix it up with the grains. Once client I had had been macro for 20 years but wanted to lose some weight and couldn't understand why it wasn't working for her. I showed her all the things she was doing to keep weight on and one of them was eating too many oats for her body. She dropped the weight easily after that... > > > > > > > Hey guys! > > Thanks for all the answers to my must-have books question. I'll have > to check them all out!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 emilie, , for some reason is not giving you the direct line to Kukicha (bancha twig) teas at Simply Natural. If you are a coffee or caffeinated tea drinker then you will probably want to boil your kukicha strong (more bitter) and either use a tea bag or boiled loose twig kukicha in any pot which will make for strong, more bitter (yang) tea. If you are like me (who has had about 5 total cups of coffee in my more than fifty years and even less caffeinated tea, and therefore) preferring a naturally sweeter kukicha tea, then you might wish to add your loose twig tea to pure (spring, deep well, or purified) water in a glass infuser pot, bring to a boil and then turn off to steep and drink after the amber color comes to your infused beverage. Anyway you like it, please consider letting our friend at Simply Natural provide you with what you need, first over any of the other online purveyors of natural, organic, and whole macrobiotic foods and goods. Thank you, very much. Bruce Paine wrote: You can get it online from us at www.simply-natural.biz and we are much less than the kushi store.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Somehow that just seems so wrong to me...! Is there another pickled substance other than sauerkraut that could be subbed? --- Bruce wrote: --------------------------------- Hi , Tamara! When I was working at the Kushi Institue back in 1986, we (thenon-teaching staff) used to gather in the dorm kitchen in themid-afternoon and snack on open faced sauerkaut-peanut butter and ricecake sandwiches! Quite substantial and nourishing! My feeling is that the peanut butter be creamy and as always,everything should be organic! Bon Appetite!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 That was more than I wanted to know. Now I'll bring a bit of sex into it to make it more interesting:  Endosperm is formed when the two sperm nuclei inside a pollen grain reach the interior of an embryo sac or female gametophyte. One sperm nucleus fertilizes the egg, forming a zygote, while the other sperm nucleus usually fuses with the two polar nuclei at the center of the embryo sac, forming a primary endosperm cell (its nucleus is often called the triple fusion nucleus). This cell created in the process of double fertilization develops into the endosperm. Because it is formed by a separate fertilization, the endosperm constitutes an organism separate from the embryo.
