Uncheese

[Guest guest]

Mark,

 

Basically, I think we are on the same page. Personally, I do not eat buttered

popcorn at movie theatres or fried tofu at every meal. This is a vegetarian

forum and not a health forum.. I have probably sent in more posts on health

than anyone else on this forum. I try to help educate people but not criticize.

At the same time, people on this forum are big enough to make their owh

decisions on what they eat. I personally do not eat eggs. However iff someone

has a recipe for 10 eggs and only eats one tenth of the recipe then that only

equals one egg. Moderation is the key. People spend time sending in recipes

and typing them up. I would send in more too but it takes time to type them. I

respect them for sending the recipes in. If I don't like it for anyreason I

just bypass it. My mother always said to me " If you can't say something nice,

then don't say anything at all. " This can apply to this or any circumstance

unless someone says something immoral or

dangerous or another type of circumstance.

 

I am not sure what you mean about the urine therapy. Urine therapy is NOT a

part of Ayurveda although many Ayurveds may prescribe it. Are you referring to

another part of Ayurveda? You are right in that Chinese medicine does prescribe

animal parts sometimes.

 

I am just like you in posting. I do not post a recipe unless I credit the

source or modify the recipe or make it up myself. I am anxiously awaiting your

modified or appropriately credited recipes.

 

I would also like information on pus count in cheese. I never heard of that.

 

Yours in health

Actually, when I moved recently, I did put all but around 20 cookbooks

(the ones then in a pile on a kitchen table being most used) into

storage! In my old house, the whole collection took up half the kitchen

wall space. I stopped working on my online bibliography when I hit near

200, and could eye count the rest.

 

I'm not going to debate butter, ghee, and dairy on this List (nor the

incredible fat content of some of the recipes I've seen). I needed to

think a bit about this last night and get more in tune with where the

people on this List are coming from. I will point out that popcorn isn't

junk food if air popped and no fat and/or salt is added. I'm familiar

with Aryuvedic theories, though, and they are interesting, but not my

cup of cardamon tea. I've yet to reconcile the Chinese and Indian views

of nutritional needs/approaches. There are some bizarre ideas (at

least to a Westerner) as to what to eat on both sides, ranging from any

number of living crawling things to one's own waste water (to put it

delicately).

 

We all have our biases and interpretations. But, I believe the

scientific literature regarding saturated fat is pretty much irrefutable at

this point in time.

 

That being said, some of you twenty and thirty year olds will soon

discover that as you get older, ya can't eat as much fat calories (and

probably sodium) and not pay a price one way or another. In your twenties,

you get eat a box of light bulbs, down a keg of beer, devour a 20 "

pizza, stay up all night, and still run a marathon in the morning.

 

Enjoy it while you can!

 

As to posting recipes, I rarely post a recipe from a cookbook unless

I've modified it, have permission, or in some cases, fully credit the

author/book. Probably comes from having talked one-on-one with so many

authors and see how hard the work on their recipes and how altogether too

often they are passed around without credit, and without purchase of

the book source. Some authors are quite free about this, others are very

very tight. To each their own, I guess.

 

I'm more interested in general concepts and ideas these days/ze. Via

search engines, and the wonderful proliferation of veg recipe websites,

online databases, and blogs, finding specific recipes and/or ideas (for

me) is usually faster through judicious use of key word searching.

 

Best to all, Mark

Hi Doris asparagus

 

If you BBQ then blanch the fresh spears for 1 - 2 minutes and brush with your

favorite marinade and BBQ them. We did this over the weekend Sun & Mon They are

melt in your mouth good.

I'm already impressed with this group and I've only looked at the

asparagus recipes! We were looking at asparagus today, but none of us

knew a tasty way to cook it. Mom-in-law boils it to almost mush,

while my sister barely steams it and serves it with lemon juice.

Neither method appealed to our family. Thanks, everyone, for all the

ideas. Somewhere in there, we'll find one we like!
