Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 I tried this, modified, last night. Sounded very interesting originally ... and the result was far from disapointing .... now to make it for company. Changes made ... for any vegan's eyes that may be reading this ... or those concerned about Alzheimer's (this is not meant as a healthy comment as I do not want to antaginize people not concerned ... so please do not take it as such) The changes: I sauteed the onion, etc. in Dole's Peach/Mango/Orange Juce (available in almost any supermarket that carries Dole juces... except some Winn Dixies down here). Thereby eliminating the need for butter or margerine .... also therefore keeping the pan temperatures at or below the boiling point of water ... less transfatty acids created) I used unrefined (Spectrum) Olive oil in with the 'bread crumbs' ... but made my own " crumbs " from wholegrain bread not containing partially hydroginated oil (another way of saying margerine) or any preservatives. Aluminum foil is a non-existing entity in this household .. as are any other aluminium containg foods, pans etc. Alzheimer's ..the reason. T avoid the foil, and because I have the plants outside my dinning room window, I wrapped the stuffed onions in banana leaves. The same as I do when I make my favorite desert ... stickey rice with banana, black beans & coconut milk ... steamed in banana leaves. If you do not have banana leaves available, many supermarkets carry corn shucks in the Hispnic section. They are used to wrap many Mexican and other Caribian Island recipees. They will work also for the onions. I tie the babana leaves on with strips of the leaves. You could also use cooking string. I want to also try this using wildrice in liew of long grain rice & mango or papaya in liew of the apple. maybe even a dash of plum wine to round things out. Should add another dimention to the great taste. Thanks again for something very different.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 I wanted to comment that Alzheimer's disease is not caused or the chance of increased by the use of aluminum. That theory has been proven wrong in the most recent years. I remember this because I worked with Alzheimer's patients for two years. But the deposits in the brain are found in increased amounts within the diseased...but that can be, by speculation, a direct result of the Alzheimer's and not vice versa. Just wanted to let you know ~Christina CartwrightMama to Damien Nikolas 11/9/99 (hosp. natural) & Vladimir Legion Faust 11/26/01 (unassisted) When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.- George Washington Carver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Christina: I would love to find that this is true. However, I am still inclined to chalk that up to propaganda. There are too many " powers that be " , each with their own ajenda in DC. Many things that are harming us are being allowed to go 'unrecognized' as a result. The aluminum argument you state has been around a long time. To my best knowledge, it is limited to this country. When confronted with test results years ago, these 'protectors' of our health disclamed the results as the testing " did not meet US standards " or some such bunk. Untill I see this published in journels outside the US, and where major pharmacuitical and other aluminum using industries to not have the " power of the lobby " , I will then begin to believe. If you feel the gov't is here to protect the common man (no gender implied), ask yourself ... " When is the last time I herd a warning in a drink milk add .... " Use of this pasturized substance will cause your body to not absorb calcium. Use of this substance artifically fortified with vitamen D may deplete your body of vitamen K [potassium] " I know I have never heard this, yet I know this information has been well published.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Christina: I know the just posted reply will raise some folk's back hairs so to say. I just posted a copy of a posting from " Not-Milk " in my " It's here for controvercial subjects " group. I did not want to post it in this group as some people here might be offended by the topic ... Flo Jo death being used as an example ... I loved watching her in track meets. If you would like to read it, there is a hyper link (URL) to take your there in my signature file at the end of this posting. There is also a link to notmilk in the posting if you wish to read more.
