Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I dson't know if you have access to a freezer, but I have successfully frozen drained left-over black-eyed peas. If you freeze them spread out on a tray and then bag them, you can add handfuls to stews and soups. Welcome back, BTW.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 What an awesome idea! Will give that a try. My freezer comes in very handy. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 If the cows are fed the same antibiotics and hormones and are milked by those awful machines that get pus in the milk, I would definitely opt for the pasteurized milk... but if the cows are treated well and aren't milked by those horrible machines I think it would be much better than pasteurized. I recently tried raw milk cheese and it was wonderful. Where in Texas do you live, if you don't mind me asking? I grew up in Texas in a town near Abilene called Hawley, then married and moved to San Angelo. As much as I didn't like it at the time, since moving to Illinois I find myself missing things like cactus and mesquite trees! Next summer I am going to plant two gardens, on for vegetables and one for cactus. Not that fall here isn't beautiful- it certainly is. Momma <southernbelle wrote: Hello all.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 There are plenty of safety concerns associated with raw milk. I think that raw (hard) cheeses ars generally safer, as it becomes evident if the desired bacteria or pathogenic bacteria have taken over during the aging process. Raw milk and fresh soft cheeses could carry things that you could not detect, such as listeria (which can cause stillbirth). This is why pregnant women are warned to avoid fresh cheeses made from unpasturized milk. Before pasturization, many people died from diseases carried in raw milk products. (This is not to say that pasturized milk is necessarily good for you, either.) It is mostly the very young, very old, and those with a compromised immune system that are at risk.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Sorry I didn't respond right away. I was bouncing for a few hours and had to come to the site to get the responses. The lady sent me some info this morning. She sent me a document from the owner of the farm stating that the cows are only given antibiotics as a last resort and the cow's milk is not sold during the time that they are on antibiotics. The farm is also getting it's certification for organic but it takes time to do this and will be in place shortly. It is a family owned farm nearby. Some of thier milk is also sold to Borden. They also sell cheese, butter, etc. We have never tried raw milk before so we are ordering a small amount to begin with. I was happy to find them since i can't even find organic in the nearest town. We live in Canyon Lake, Texas. We recently moved here from San Antonio. CL is about 45 minutes north west of SA.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Gasp, San Antonio! My favorite Texas city... I wish we could find some raw milk, just to try it. We've pretty much cut out milk since we found out our daughter stopped getting ear infections once the milk was gone... we still have cheese occasionally, and I just had some raw sharp cheddar and it was sooo good! I think as long as the cows are clean and well cared-for, the chances of anything being wrong with their milk are very small. momma <southernbelle wrote: Sorry I didn't respond right away.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hi there IMO pasturized milk is always safer than raw milk but here is something that u can try if u want to go with raw milk Boil it really well before u use it. In olden days (and even very recenlty in some rural parts of India) the custom was to use raw milk directly, in fact I have had it when i was a child. but the main thing to note is we never consumed it as it is, we always boiled it and cooled it to desired temperature before using it. this way it distroys any harmful bacteria in the raw milk Shree 3a.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I just wanted to introduce myself since I'm new. My name is Elizabeth I am from North Georgia. I was moved to become a vegetarian after reading " Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating " . I has been slightly difficult for my because right now I am working at a fast food restaurant til I go back to college. After a few days everyone got used to me ordering double cheese burgers minus the meat with tomatos instead. Thanks for all the great recipes you all have posted, I can't wait to try some of them out. I have a couple of questions though. What is TVP? Does anyone know of any good natural food stores in the North Geogia mountains? What major grocery food store chain carry Tofu and the like? I know that my local Ingles has a few things, but other than that I am in the dark. Thanks for any help in advance that you can give me.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi Elizabeth! I'm Yaya! It is wonderful that you decided to go vegetarian! Tofu is sold at almost all grocery stores even if they are discount Grocery stores. What part of North Georgia do you live? There is a health food store in Marietta called, Life, Grocery, and cafe Natural foods,1453 Roswell road. It even has a vegan resturant inside of it. There's also a place in Atlanta called, Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe, 672 Highland ave. It sells all kind of things as well as specialty foods. Well, I hope that I've helped a little. Again, I don't know what city you are near. I think that Whole Foods may be there as well. Ask around. That is a well-known health food store.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi, Liz, We are in the Chattanooga, TN area. The Kroger supermarkets have a nice selection of items. Many of the Walmarts are carrying a better selection than they use to. Green Life is the natural food store in Chattanooga, that is amazing. I know there is a Wild Oats in Atlanta along with a wonderful Co-Op. We have not done much exploring in GA, yet.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yaya, thanks for the information. I live in White County. Marietta is quite a drive for me, but if I am ever in the area I will definitly check it out. The reason I was asking about the grocery stores is because I went into my local Ingles and they had a very limited selection of Morningstar products, and I couldn't find any Tofu, TVP, etc. , " yaya_licious " <yaya_licious wrote: > > Hi Elizabeth!
