@SisterMae - lets just say you’re invited to a rare outdoor winter gathering
@plantinthewindow - heh

@Bels_Kaylar - nothing I read really helps even that seaweed stuff… but my lament is the trygliceride reducer gemfibrozil – is thee culprit the beans just wont aide the cause

@Bels_Kaylar - yes, I live 12 feet from the house furnace fan

@SandraErickson - mmmmmm perfectly warm and soothing soup (least I warned passers by)

@godfatherofgreenbay - you know i liketyheir sweet italians buour groers here hae abetter hot one linkand grind – the brats tobefair are okay store or johnsons- edge tothe storeainly for taste and alue

@SherryAngeLMysteriez - refried beans or bean pastesimilar to that of a bean paste for sesame dumpling is critical to easy Mexican food American Style.  however, leave the sugar out. . add some garlic.  – refried beans are a base filling for burritos of all manner include just bean alone- tacos for lent period which is part of catholicism I am not catholic.. and of course totadas.  beans unmashed are for rice and do well enough…and by unmashed some of them are about a third of them actually as such makes a rich soup/sauce however this gets out of indian cooking as in indian  native emerican and into african/creole. 

@mlbncsga - I hope you hae said in your area- it is becoming this years hot ingredient- and yeah lets hope I stay silent about it

@moniet - oh lol, one upon a way back when – I did up a post on the magical aphrodisiac, Garlic.  I wass first interested in proof it was considered as such- then what it does in the real world of biology…the second thing of study showed nothing much out there but that it eliminated lower intenstinal complaint gas and belly aching… this i got quite the laugh at as such is in a weird way an aphrodisiac… a mate not complaining…magical indeed that aphrodisiac?  the drawback was and still is bad breath and later a n odor excreted like all chemicals of strong scent through our pores… but the trade off is clear, someone not belly-aching about it   remember it said nothing about virility just lack of gas and complaint after dinner…how very very sexy.

@moniet - I’ll try to remember magic foods and share some if I can find credible resources.  cilantro/chinese parsley is goode but how good was the hard to find source. pomegreanates are in the superfoods group and interestingly all the seeds are dgrown in a fractal – a fancy mathy thing – but super foods are mono-nutrient sources and thus ultimately are not any good nutritionally without a lot of other things…even a simple hamburger is bread and meat two things and thus boring but posessed of enough variety to be ultimately healthier as a on a nutrition intake thing.  however that source requires a trip to the library as I hav e to cite a non internet based source.  it may not seem like much but one occassionally must know whats  the dose – when tryng to compare food as medicine… happier heathen is a whole plant kind of fellow and i liked and sold essential oils for a spell- but before you get your hopes up, it takes ages to demonstrate how fricken boring but required that essential oils are medicine and yay. I CAN find the measurement sources… but ultimately making this a short blog is tough.  needless to say the outcome of the efficacy of essential oils as an alternative source of medicine is poor as choices go being that the effective chemicals? produce effects you don’t get isolated as well as within pills, thus marjoram oil =hich is a tranquilizing – muscle relaxant also is a diuretic or pee pill – but at $45 for 225 doses of which at the time I was 1/4 heavier is 2-6 drops or divide 225 by 2-6and allllll of a sudden you’re paying for muscle relaxants which are the black market price or more than going to a doctor.  not to mention tranqs don’t help a person move around all motivated  

@moniet - its a cousin of oregano – so now ya know.  – as for herbsI dont knowI’ve bought and used more cilantro  garlic blend for the spices

@moniet - lol – I said that because lettuce isn’t in herb cabbage is in the veggies along with the non-typical greens… I’ve 10 days into this month and have used more cilantro than red crushed pepper so by use of HERBS ciilantro – If I’d tossed in a bottle of horehound – then maybe i could say horehound is the herb of choice

@moniet - horehoundhorehound-dried outside of kandy – kough drops; there is adding this to root beer which is fairly straight-forward to brew – I havent tried
