Need recipe for kale (sm)
I have never tried Kale before, and frankly, green beans and broccoli are getting OLD. So I got a bunch of kale the other day and would like to fix it tonight. Anyone have a good starter recipe for it that would be a good way to introduce new kale eaters?
thanks.
spinach - yes,
my books say never steam it but to blanch it in water 1-1/2 minutes, cool promptly in cold water (equal amount of time), drain, freeze. (leave some head space)
BUT, i have lightly steamed my swiss chard, thrown it in a collander, sprayed with cold water (if you don't cool it, it keeps cooking), and then drain/pack in baggies (flatten them out so they stack well) and then when I use them put in steamer again and steam until done -- and chard is very similar to spinach -- and it works great. I figure i don't loose as many vitamins in the water that way.
I have never frozen spinach myself...
but you can buy frozen spinach, it's cooked first and then when you 'cook' it you are thawing it/reheating it.
As for mushrooms, I sautee them first then freeze.

Canned meat - the spinach of Dog

I do something similar but alternate cheese, cubed ham, and broccoli. There is also sm.
melted butter involved. We love it.
Beef stroganoff over fettucini, broccoli, dinner rolls.

Found a list, and this one includes broccoli but in large amounts.

I put the egg and cheese in a whole wheat or veggie wrap with some cooked spinach

Carrots.
Both my dogs adore carrots. Makes a great snack, cleans the teeth. Especially good for the one who acts ravenous all the time but would get pudgy if I let her.
carrots
My vet also recommended carrots but warned me that most dogs won't eat them. Fortunately my dog loves them more than raw hides. I just wash them off and break them in half or thirds.
roasted carrots
Preheat oven to 400
Place baby carrots on a cookie sheet (one with sides), drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper
Roast in hot oven until fork tender...about 30-40 minutes...yummy and easy!
Oh that's right! Carrots have sugar don't they? sm
Peas do too, another of my favorites right along with the oranges, bananas and grapes I have in the fridge. Sigh. Guess I had better get a book on low sugar cooking since I will be taking high doses of corticosteroids again real soon. That will certainly send my glucose into orbit.
Not sure about that, but I thought fresh carrots are usually used. What about
salt in canned foods? That would be my concern with taste, etc.
use frozen carrots in soups/stews/roast
I always use frozen carrots and celery and onions in my soups, stews, roasts, gravy, etc. You can either thaw them in the fridge (probably the upper part of yours) or in the microwave before throwing into the pot...otherwise start them at the beginnig of the recipe so they have a chance to get a head start over everything else and thaw that way. freezing veggies is a great way to 'use' them before they go bad. we don't eat a whole bundle of carrots or celery before the go bad so when i know they are getting close i chop them all up and freeze them. same with bananas for banana bread and the fixings for salsa. :)
cause and effect
I used to give people the shirt off my own back, and I learned the hard way to cut it out! It's good you can't help them--you'd be throwing away your own hard-earned resources if you did. Let them earn where they want to be. If these people truly did nothing to create their plight, why didn't they check out social services or Catholic charities months ago? 90% of the time a hard-luck story was created by the person telling it. Speaking for myself, my best life lessons were because I had to dig myself out of a world of I created my own self. Others deserve the dignity of doing that--and as someone already posted, it can be done. Just takes patience and self-discipline.
well vin has that effect on me too LOL
x
nor can you be certain that there is any effect at all.
I know that my HUSBAND is the one who wanted our son circumcised and I am sure that it was not to psychologically damage him.
Pasta with zukes, carrots, onion, garlic, basil...sm
sauted in olive oil, with a garden salad. All of that (except the pasta, of course) from the garden. You guys posted lots of yummy plans.
That should have been effect, not affect. Sorry.
A common effect...sm
According to the Ohio State University Extension, it is because there was excessive preheating--longer than 5 mins. I assume they mean while the tomatoes were being heated prior to being placed in the jar. From experience, it does not affect the taste. As long as the seal is tight, they should be fine. Just shake the jar before opening. Welcome to the wonderful world of canning! Did you get tomato bits on the ceiling like I do every year? 
The new tax went into effect this week
Cigarette companies told the store I buy mine that they decided to put it in before its mandatory. Really nice of them. They just want to make that extra $$. Took the cost up $10 a carton and mine are generic.
PA wants to tax extra too, which would be another $5-$10. I would quit but I've tried to quit 6 times and now smoking MORE. Nothing worked. In reality, though, I don't smoke that much. They burn away. I light up, start doing something, and next thing I know, it's down to the filter. That's worse than smoking IMHO.
I'm afraid to try Chantix. My son had horrible nightmares on it and I already have bad nightmares at times, so don't need to add to them.
I absolutely envy anyone that can quit. I will try again some day, but right now. I don't think I want to go through the withdrawal I go through. BTW, I've been a smoker for almost 50 years.
I think this may be the "Daughtry Effect." sm
The theory is that Chris Daughtry went home because his fans became complacent, believing him to be bullet-proof. This may be what happened with Adam.
At the same time, this week, a news story went out that there has been a major feud between Adam and Kris, who were former roommates in the mansion but had to be separated because of fighting. The feud purportedly stems from Adam being loud, pushy,gay,and big-city and Kris being a quiet, unassuming, conservative Christian from a small town. I don't know the validity of this but the story has been everywhere.
This would lead some fans who would vote against Adam for being either gay or pushy...I suppose to punish him.
Frankly, I could not care less what either of their sexuality is or what their personalities are behind the scenes, and I'm speaking as a conservative Catholic. I am rooting for Adam because he is who I would most like to hear on the radio and whose CD I would most likely buy, although to be honest, I've never bought a single Idol CD.
I really wasn't all that surprised last night.

I have not heard of that as a side effect
of the surgery. LASIK is surgery on the outer surface of the eye, and the lens that clouds in a cataract is deeper in the eye, inside a little capsule. I think the eye doctor is going to say it's unrelated.
How old are you, by the way?
how about the *sponge* effect with a mixture of--sm
a light sage green and light brown? Leave the ceiling white or off white. Or just do one wall with the sponge and the rest a light green or beige.
The ripple effect or Karma
I feel for the people who come to get advice or even vent and they get such negative comments when the person giving the negative comments does not know the entire situation. I once posted wanting to know if anyone knew of any self-help books for people who are in difficult marriages and how to feel good about yourself and all I received were posts saying divorce, take the kids and leave, etc, etc. I was not in a situation that would warrant leaving. But I too have read the posts below and there really are some terrible posts from people. I often think about a news story I heard awhile back about some lady who posted something on the internet about some girl and how she wasn't a nice person and didn't deserve to live (or something like that - don't know the exact wording right now), but this girl ended up killing herself because of that. When I see a post from someone who is down on themselves I try to post a positive message letting them know how important they are to the people who love them. I just don't understand why people get so much enjoyment out of posting "nasty-grams" and hurting others. I do believe in Karma and the Ripple effect and one day this will come back and bite them in the you know what.

You know, that was about the only side effect I did have was vaginal dryness, but that (sm)
seemed to have fixed itself over about a year afterwards and I have not had any problems since. Luckily, that is one of the easiest side effects because they make stuff like that even for women that are not post hysterectomy. :)
It had the opposite effect on me, I couldn't even get through 1 week. I might be a fluke, though.

I agree. Facing reality 24/7 is the only side effect of quitting pot
Must be something more. Get him to a physician so he doesn't cave in. Then, I'd reevaluate your relationship as you may not be as in love with him as you think.
A baked yam or sweet potato is supposed to have the same effect, providing you don't

It's in the blood.
If I were you I would go to the ER.. Blood
in the urine is an indication that the kidneys are involved.
Or was it from your period?
How can you stand the pain in your inflamed urethra and ureter?
yes, they do do lab work on the blood, --sm
as well, and those results would be available within a very short period of time. Maybe you should continue your studies in the forensic pathology area, if that is what interests you.
I can as have had low blood pressure in the
past and you can feel extremely fatigued, you can have dizziness from it running too low. When mine would run extremely low, say 80/60 or so, I used black licorce as this I found out years ago will elevate blood pressure. So tired with it, that I know.
blood tests
HIV...period...
You might want to get some blood work
A lot of time women have thyroid problems, and this can cause you to feel tired, very disinterested in sex, cannot lose weight et cetera, or there may be a hormonal imbalance that can also cause this. I would recommend talking to your doctor or gynecologist and get them to write a script for some lab work.
taste of blood.....
yea alot of people say that. I have heard it numerous times, but then I see shelters take in hard core fighting dogs & turn them into loving pets & working dogs for the community such as lawdogsusa.org so I believe this is a myth.
Gee, didn't mean it was NOT in the blood but stating that it would have
shown in the autopsy quite quickly in the organs, as that is what I thought the original poster had inquired about.
Point out he can get a blood infection and die - sm
if he does not get his teeth taken care of. He must have some rotten breath too, yuk. Guess you don't do much kissing either. I went out on 1 date with a guy with bad teeth, gross, I did not want to kiss him goodnight and barely did, never dated him again because I was so grossed out.
Have your blood sugar checked! I'd nod off (sm)
to the point that my nose would actually touch the keyboard!! While funny, it was also a symptom. I had undiagnosed diabetes and would just "poop" out when my blood sugar was too low (or even too high!). According to my doctor there's more undiagnosed diabetes out there than you'd believe!
Check the blood pressure often, have my own
cuff and last check was 106/70 something and no headache at all. Was thinking yesterday wonder what the wait would be going to the emergency room, that bad. The last visit to an ER was about a year ago and I spent the entire night waiting to be seen, was admitted the next morning. I am not 1 just to go to be going, has to be really severe.
New cause for blood pressure increase sm
Typed in a report today: His blood pressure is 160/100, however, he attributes this to his wife's driving.
Typical male remark, LOL.
Blood pressure - when to be alarmed
Hey, folks. Need your opinions if you don't mind. How high should bp be before one becomes alarmed, and what is a reasonable expectation of your doctor's response when you visit him/her with an elevated bp? Should we be concerned if bp is above:
A. 120/80
B. 130/90
C. 140/95
This isn't a quiz, not really. I am just wondering for myself personally. Also, let's throw in that the pt had been under a significant amount of stress over the last few months which is now lessened pretty much to 'normal', and that the patient also has had a couple of migraines in the last couple of weeks prior to the bp shooting up - with no hx of migraines.
Appreciate the opinions.
Sincerely,
A paranoid hypochondriac HC

Cord blood banks
Does anyone know of a reputable blood bank where new mom's can store their baby's cord blood? Also, the procedure for doing this? Thanks for your help.

Have you ever had your blood sugar suddenly
I was just wondering, because I think that's what happened to me today just as I was finishing up with getting a little exercise this afternoon. Usually a piece of meat or cheese and I'm completely normal again, but this time it's much slower to go away. Just as I was about to call it a day anyway, I suddenly got very weak-feeling and slightly nauseous, & a little light-headed. Sat down until it passed, then skipped going to the market afterward, like I'd planned, and came home. While driving home I was sweating so much that in about 10 minutes I was soaked. I came inside, had some cheese and some slices of chicken, then lay down, using a big bath towel as a blanket since that's what was handy. Soon that was soaked, too. Felt better about 30 minutes later, took a hot shower and had some dinner. Now I'm almost back at baseline. I've had similar spells very occasionally in the past, but they always cleared up within minutes of having either some protein or a banana. Does that sound like a hypoglycemic episode to you? I'm not diabetic, in fairly good shape, not overweight, and do tend to eat a lot of sweets.
This little smiley shows how quickly it comes on, and how it feels!
