Roll Call! and Query (always a query)

I'm really not sure what appliance I use most often. I do make ample use of

my electric wok. I've also been depending lately on my bread maker to do

final kneading for me. The dough becomes elastic in half the time it would

take me. Now if I could just make the reset button work. I also frequently

use my coffee grinder for grinding nuts and spices. In the past year I've

given away my electric mixer, slow cooker, electric griddle, electric roaster,

electric waffle iron, electric sandwich maker, electric can opener, electric

food grinder, and electric iced tea maker. I seldom use my blender. At least

this past year I've seldom used it. I most often use it for making butter from

heavy whipping cream, and for making fresh coconut milk. I haven't made

either in the past year.

 

I had to think all that through. I use so many things automatically. So I

guess I use my wok, coffee grinder, electric heating pad (for salt rising

bread and croissant dough), bread maker, oven, and stove most often

and probably about equally. Blender and coffee maker are used infrequently

this year.

Yeah, that's true...although, it's mostly when I go out to eat that I lapse.

I don't bother buying meat for the house, since it's pretty expensive and,

well, I live alone. Usually by the time I get to it, it's gone bad, you

know? One cool thing is that my work has free salad at lunchtime, so I've

been partaking of that a lot more lately.

Fatty foods contribute to it really, and most meat based things are really

fatty in the bad way for acid reflux. I also haven't been eating all that

well lately (for other reasons) and have ended up making a lot of pasta with

jarred tomato sauce. And with acid reflux, tomatoes are on the no-no list

(along with other high acid fruits and veggies, soda, and potatoes). So, I

have find the list of good foods and get back in the habit. This also,

unfortunately, cuts out spicy foods for awhile, but I can gradually add them

back in after it clears up again.

 

Oh, and speaking of chiles, I don't remember if my spicy stewed black beans

are in the recipie files, but for that I usually use one seeded and one

unseeded jalepeno. I think they give the best flavor for the dish, although,

I'm now kind of curious how it would taste if you used different chiles.

Hmmm...makes me want to head out to Berkeley Bowl tomorrow!

 

Anyway, I'll try not to lurk much, but things are rather hectic lately, and

like I said, I haven't been cooking very creatively lately. But if I come up

with something new, I'll let you know!

Hi,

I just wanted to suggest that might be of help,as this has helped me a lot

in my acid reflux and so with other patients that has come to us in alternative

medicine.First stick on non fatty vegie food,avoid much use of pepper,drink

cabbage or potato juice and in the morning on empty stomach drink lemon juice

with lukewarm water well my acid reflux is totally gone now after 18 yrs of

taking antacids and other pain relievers.This is just a suggestion,as i have

proven it effective,but what am sure is being on vegetarian food helps me a

lot,real healthy.
