Toast made out of Texas Toast bread, buttered, and sliced bananas on it. My husband thinks I am REALLY strange when I have that. But, I love it!

How much of your total vegetable consumption are u able to grow?

I agree with many of the statements made here. We also eat from the garden and when in season. Lucky for us, the seasons here are long! We simply plan our meals around what the garden produces! I think this really simplifies life. Lettuces grace our table from December to June, tomatoes from July to December, cole crops are good from November until June. In the winter we eat peas and favas, in the spring runner beans, in the summer common beans, in the fall sometimes cow peas, sometimes limas. Carrots produce every month (but they are less tasty in the summer), beets most of the year, chard all the time. We grow all the herbs we use, but only have basil in the summer and cilantro in the winter. Fruit is great, and even better now that we started growing strawberries. Our fruit production goes like this: December to May too much citrus! strawberries are producing most of the time, peaches in mid summer if the squirrels let us have some, figs in August and September, then some of the neighbor's grapes. We do buy some tropical fruit from time to time, bananas, mangos, papaya, we can't grow those too well. I also eat a lot of my preserved (dried) figs troughout the year. So I think we produce 90% of the fruit and veggies we eat. We produce some potatoes, but need to buy some for part of the year. Same with onions. Garlic was a bust, must do something about it. We grew corn a couple of years, no more. We are using the space to grow artichokes, better return on the investment! So we buy corn a couple of times a year. As far as other grains, I have tried growing amaranth for grain. No fun to harvest, but I like it as greens in the summer!

What is your current food craving?

My DH has been craving Cal-Mex food, so we've been hitting our fav taqueria a whole lot: shrimp quesadillas, carne asada nachos (lighter than most with queso fresco rather than melted Jack or Cheddar), chile verde plates. So it was my turn to pick, and since I was tired of Cal-Mex, I chose Eritrean (similar to Ethiopian). We started with beef samosas, lovely little deep-fried wraps with a super-spicy chile sauce that could blow the top of your head off! Gommen (braised collards), zigne (spicy beef cubes in red gravy), bamiya (stewed sliced okra--yum!), alitcha dinish (potatoes & carrots in turmeric gravy), birsin yemisir wot (stewed red lentils), doro alicha (chicken yellow curry) -- colorful little piles atop freshly-made injera; the spongy, sourdough-like pancake that serves as both bread and flatware. All of this is "eat with your fingers", fun and messy. With it we had two of their banana-fruit juice smoothies, a popular accompaniment to this cuisine.

Holly - from the KDs I talked with, all of them were figuring the Rev-a-shelf, so I wouldn't be surprised if yours is too. Most of them didn't even seem aware that K&V made one, let alone that it had the gas cylinder. I haven't used the Knape & Vogt one, so I honestly don't know how much of a difference there is between the two...I'm just going by other things that I've had the gas assist cylinder available for in life and those worked more smoothly. I'd hate to steer you toward something that I have no first hand experience with...so, definitely look into it more. I didn't find a lot of info out there on the K&V. I did wind up buying mine online through Home Depot, but I didn't see it at the stores (when it arrived, it was shipped directly from K&V, I think) - it seemed that they had the best price that I was finding on it overall. Still more expensive than the R-a-S one though. Here's the HD link: http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/203303465?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=knape+vogt+appliance&storeId=10051&N=5yc1v&R=203303465#.UWGPBVejslU And here it is from Kitchensource: http://www.kitchensource.com/cau/kv-hal-1.htm#body_page_header As near as I can tell, the R-a-S one has a pull-bar type mechanism that runs under the board where the mixer rests and the K&V one has the "buttons" to release built in along the sides of the mechanism - they are the two darker grey things you see at the bottom front of the mechanism. Mine's sitting in my basement just waiting...I wish that there was an easy way to test it.

What helped your sleep? mattress, foods, supplements, exercise?

While looking at the above government link, I notice San Jose, CA, has high sodium (Na) in their tap. My sister there has high blood pressure, while my blood pressure is low. But my risk of heart attack is higher than her, see below excerpt from WebMD "Higher doses of calcium increase the chance of having serious side effects. Some recent research also suggests that doses over the recommended daily requirement of 1000-1300 mg daily for most adults might increase the chance of heart attack. " http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-781-CALCIUM.aspx?activeIngredientId=781&activeIngredientName=CALCIUM Also see http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/256791.php "The finding came from a new study by a team of experts led by Qian Xiao, from the National Institutes of Health, and supports prior research from last year which indicated that calcium supplements are linked to a higher risk of heart attack." UPDATE: Bought 3 different brands of cherry juice to see if they help with sleep. Trader's Joe cherry juice is too sour & bitter. Indian Summer cherry juice is too watery. Neither of these help with my sleep. The cherry juice that helped was one from nearby Wisconsin (1 hour away) ... its FRESHNESS was what worked. In my experience, FRESH grapefruit works better than STALE cherry juice that was cooked (pasteurized), which destroyed the enzymes. Here's an excerpt from below link: http://bembu.com/foods-to-help-you-sleep 2. Grapefruit Eating grapefruit before bed has been an old wives’ tale for years, but as it turns out there’s a reason why this has been known to help sleep. It contains lycopene, an antioxidant in the body that has been shown to improve the way you sleep. Grapefruit can also help you lose weight if needed." I also notice that fish oil is very effective for good sleep. I took NOW fish oil, since it's the cheapest & best rated on Amazon, only 14 cents. I'm switching to NOW liquid fish oil, lemon flavor, since I get more Omega-3 per price-unit. Fish oil works when magnesium and cherry juice failed. There's days that I could not sleep, and fish oil did the job when nothing worked. I'm going to try cod-liver oil, to see if that helps with sleep & better skin & my vitamin D deficiency. Will report the result later. Both vitamin A and D is known to help with hormonal imbalance.

I put sour bite candy in my Lemon Drop martinis. Got about 50 people doing that now.

what is texas toast bread?
wildchild
16 years ago
Kat - Texas Toast bread is just double thick sliced bread. It's not already toasted. You may have had in in steakhouses that use it for the cheese toast they serve. It's also used by restaurants to make that extra thick French toast they serve.

You can also find it frozen as Texas Toast Garlic bread or Garlic Cheese bread to heat and eat.

But it's basically thick sliced bread.

When making a grilled cheese sandwich, I plop some sprouts on the cheese before it goes in the pan. Really good.

I also use honey and butter on my grits.

I like sandwiches with sliced bananas and mayo. That may be a regional thing, since I remember lots of people who liked it when I was a child. I also like soggy, squishy corn flakes soaked in milk. Hubby likes sandwiches made of peanut butter, cheese, butter and mayo. Now to me, that is a major ewwww.

Peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwiches for me.

DH stirs his ice cream into a puddle before eating it, but then he likes Dairy Queen type (soft-serve) treats. Whaever the food, if it's sweet or salty, he'll eat it!

There are some things that LOOK icky, but we like them -- like chili. (I won't get into what it looks like here.)

patti43, do you make your own saltrising bread. If so, would you mind sharing your recipe. I used to make it years ago, but have lost my recipe and was thinking about it the other day and wishing I could remember how to make the starter. Seems like the recipe I had called for Potato water--the water from boiling potatoes and corn meal to make the "starter". I would be really greatful if you, or anyone else could send me a recipe. Thanks,Janet
