Guest guest Report post Posted December 18, 2005 We alwaysd buy about a month's supply of nuts at a time and keep them in the fridge. I have noticed that if you buy them weekly the best before date tends to be the same for weeks on end anyway, so you will be buying from the same batch. Might as well keep them fresh in your fridge rather than go back weekly to buy the same nuts from the warmer shop.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 19, 2005 I do, but figger that during the summer (re nuts), my house is around 90 degrees or so! Speaking of vehicles, I ask fraggle-who-knows-most-all a question. I saw an advertisement (actually, someone gave me a small portion of the ad) where a business can get at least $15,000 credit on taxes. I looked on www.irs.gov and didn't see anything telling what that might be about. I understand that the so called green tax credits ended already. I'm not up to going to the dealers to try to find out what that's about and of course they don't wanna give info over the phone.fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote: wot vehicle use..i walk to the store...bulk,...nuts..in my fridge? where??and..if they were in the shell, they don't need to be in the fridgeah..wotever...hahahaha..i give up...i don't keep nuts in the fridge, never seen any reason to, didn't know of anyone who did, er would want to...if you keep nuts in the fridge...have fun...hee hee>Peter <metalscarab>Dec 18, 2005 3:01 AM> >Re: Re: Introduction>>Hi Fraggle>>> why is that crazy?????????>> i buy bread every week>> i buy beer>> i buy tofu>> i buy veggies...>> i buy fruit....>>It seems crazy because you don't need to - you could buy in bulk and save>yourself some journeys... thereby helping the environment through less>vehicle use...>>BB>Peter>>>>>To send an email to - > Links>>>> >>What God had done for peace on earth, what man destroyed from day of birth They are concerned with feelings; they're just ashamed to cry And one mans plan to push the button makes other sacrifice The serenade is dead and now the only question's why?

Guest guest Report post Posted January 2, 2006 The other day I got out a huge bag of almonds I wanted some with a banana after my workout (doc said I should hit the recumbant bike and wait 2 weeks for the treadmill, but 2 weeks longer before I'm allowed to dance, boo hoo) and they had gone rancid. Dangit! Our house has been in the mid to low 60's since it got cold here. I was so disappointed! I used to keep our nuts in our chest freezer. They wree really good frozen, extra crunchy. I think I'll go back to doing that.Peter <metalscarab wrote: Hi Jonnie > I do, but figger that during the summer (re nuts), my house is around 90 degrees or so!

Guest guest Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Hi Debbie, Welcome! this is such a great bunch of folks who are very generous with information, recipes, support and encouragement. I've been here a few months and consider it a comforting home. I went vegetarian about six months ago and have been a vegan about a month. Today I threw out the last non vegan bag of cow's milk chocolate chips. I scattered the chips all over the garbage bag so I couldn't get 'em out again. <G> I know myself! So, no more chocolate chips for me until I buy the vegan semisweet ones. I don't really like semisweet but I can learn to, I reckon. Anyway! Said all that to let you know I understand it can be hard at times to be vegan. But it's soooo worth it in every way! Your chili sounds good, sans the hot stuff. I'm a hot stuff coward.:>) Bron On 1/5/06, Debbie Larsh <luvmyhounds5 wrote: > > Good afternoon > I just wanted to introduce myself, My name is Debbie I live in Flat > Rock, MI.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Welcome! Glad that you found us. It is a mix group of people with great input and advice. I am a strict vegan meaning that there are no food or products in my house that contain animal ingredients or were tested on animals. That includes clothing. Of course there are things that are here that have been processed with animal by-products....like glue in the furniture or wood that used things of animal origin in their making, but I didn't know any better when I got them. So you just do the best you can with what you have on whatever path that you take. I am a Jewish Buddhist....so I say anyway...don't blame it on either of them though. We considered adopting a retired Greyhound and looked into it, but we have a little tiny dog with bulgy eyes, LOL, half Italian Greyhound and half Chihuahua named Chickie for the banana. How original huh! And then we have three cats all rescued, one from a pet store that I forced in to giving to me when they wouldn't treat her medically. She is Minnie Mouse, my soul mate. I am lucky, everyone that I live with are vegans so I have a sweet time eating. We have a wonderful totally vegan restaurant here that is to die for...THE LOTUS GARDEN...kind of a joke in here since I rub everyone's nose in it. I am in Oregon and there are a number of us here who are too. Two of us live in my area and we get together to pig out at THE LOTUS GARDEN.
