I freeze mirepoix all the time, but I use it as a convenience when I want to get soup on very early in the morning. I just dice up the onions, carrots, and celery and freeze in individual portions. I just cut up the veg and straight into the bags it goes. The reasons I do it separately are...

Thanks for the reply. I'm happy you finally got some good ones. As of last week no change here. Only a guess on my part that the growing conditions may be the cause. I've gotten carrots that had that a totally inedible center core. With carrots though it was only two separate individual...

I suspect you have more and better access to produce in Florida, than I do in rural Iowa. I know what you mean about avacados. Year before last it was late Fall and they were all bad, from every source. Stopped buying them altogether for several months. I hadn't been able to find anything...

Do you know the country of origin for the bananas? Here I think all the ones I've seen recently are labeled as coming from Guatemala.

No question, they are bananas. Plantains are usually larger, the outward appearance is slightly different from the Cavendish as they ripen, but one sure way to know is plantains are much more difficult to peel. We also buy plantains on occasion. I first notice this back in November as one...

Past 6- 8 weeks all the bananas I've been able to get seem to have a fibrous core to them. The riper the fruit the stiffer the core. Makes no difference if the bananas are conventional or organic. This does not meet with spousal approval so I find myself filleting bananas for her. Have tried...

I've popped it in a microwave. Came out fine, it's smaller than our regular popcorn. Didn't make enough of an impression on us to pop it again. As a grain, we enjoy it from time to time. Availability locally is more of an issue.

I can tell you what my wife's experience was. Diagnosed with an A1C about 9.5, glucose level in the 230's. She also has some neuropathy in her foot, that at the time she didn't mention. First diagnosed 9 years ago with her Medicare wellness check up. Initially we did what the dietician and...

HA HA HA, haven't thought about this for years. Just to skew the topic a wee bit. I found Yahoo answers to be quite an eye opener into human nature. When I was just getting started with my first computer I was trying to find information on something, I don't recall now what, and ran across...

I could only guess how that came about. I was quite surprised when I saw it and the amount of support it had, that's what made it so memorable. The way the survey worked was one had to read through the answers already posted, if yours was already there then you added your vote to it...

Well, HI! Right back at ya, Chryssie.

I live in farm country. This isn't even close to the anti vegan, anti wfpb propaganda that farmers are regularly exposed to. The exposure to these ideas come from everywhere and virtually from any industry that has any connection to commercial farming. In a non- scientific survey of...

Trump will likely be the next republican president of the US. No great defection from the republican party has occurred over the events of early January, this would indicate that the majority of their membership at least support the actions of insurrectionists and in fact it seems to have...

Isn't socialism actually closer to the message that Christ brought than capitalism or nationalism? When someone is against legal abortion ( a woman's choice if you prefer) yet they will gleefully advocate for the death penalty--often for ridiculous offenses, or threaten those with opposing...

Freesia, These sound good to me. This is the sort of thing I'd make as a treat, the only difference would be I'd add a date or two for the sweetener and use frozen raspberries. I have to make most of the food we eat because so many things aren't available where we live. I can resist...

Freesia, Do you think you could go for a few days substituting fruit for your regular snack treats? I have quite the sweet tooth, but I satisfy it with fruit. Any fruit you can eat out of hand doesn't take much prep--other than making sure it's with you when you want it. There are snacks...

By whom?

I've really come to enjoy oats as a grain. The savory recipe sounds good to me, but I've only had a commercial imitation cheese once, and it was horrid stuff. I haven't tried the better types because I don't have access to them where I live. I always eat my whole groats either plain or with...

Raven, The trouble with getting old is....can't remember much of anything. It's been too long ago. Actually, I did ask my wife and she really can't remember for certain either what we had for breakfast on regular basis. I believe that I still wasn't eating breakfast before her diagnosis...

I have a tremendous sweet tooth. Fruit now is my main source of a sugar fix, and I eat a LOT of fruit. In fact, I eat a lot. In case anyone is curious, my A1C last April was 4.9, but I'm not a diabetic. Just a little history. When my wife & I first began changing how we ate we were...
