Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Minestrone soup is classic " glop " , for example. The veggies change with the season in addition to tomato, garlic, onion, Italian seasonings, and beans. Interesting about the mechanic comment below--my husband's hobby is working on cars. Glop is good for us :-) Kathleen > I was wondering the same thing it sounds like something my mother used to feed us.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Glop - Her husband calls her bean/rice dishes and vegetarian food " Glop " . That's why I jokingly said " Glop is good " . Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 But it still is Glop. My sister and I had a chat about this last week. Vegetarian food is just so darn SOFT! There is nothing toothsome, nothing to chew, that is what we both miss, not the taste of meat or chicken, we are tired of the mushiness of rice, pasta, beans, tofu and veggies. And neither of us like the " fakes " like Morningstar Farms or Boca, etc. make. We don't have any interest in eating meat, we're just looking for something other than raw carrots to chew. Anyone have any recipes with a little " resistance " to them??? Janis , Reed Deborah <debjreed wrote: > > Glop - Her husband calls her bean/rice dishes and > vegetarian food " Glop " .

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Why not try wheat berries. I have a recipe for wheat berry curry. It should be in the files. Just substitute wheat berries for rice or couscous or pasta in almost any recipe. You can also use wild rice. Gb \ , " jandor9 " <jandor9 wrote: > > But it still is Glop.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Debbie, This makes sense. " glop " is much easier to digest than many raw and " hard " foods. If the food does not digest, it turns to toxins. Also more nutrients are extracted.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 His blood sugar is lower because of complex carbs and the slower to break down sugars in cooked or uncooked grain and veggies, not because of the mushy texture of the food. Yes, cooking breaks down the food so it is easier to digest in most cases. But unless you are an infant, have diviticulitis, no teeth or ulcers, or some other medical issue, there is no reason not to eat raw foods. They act as digestive system " scrubbers " , which is a very good thing. The raw food, being harder, scrapes undigested soft " stuff " (which by the way, does decay), from where it is stuck on your intestinal walls. This is why most intestinal cleansers have Psyllum seed HUSKS...undigestable hard cellulose fiber...in them. The undigested cellulose in veggies does not turn to toxins because it doesn't get digested, it just passes thru you. Like corn, Tomato skin and seeds, etc.? People and animals on raw diets don't have toxins swarming inside them because they eat uncooked food. They have less, food moves thru them faster because of the uncooked veggies and they have cleaner intestinal tracts to boot. Janis , " greatyoga " <greatyoga wrote: > > Debbie, > > This makes sense.
