Floof: Sick food
Comments (41)I think that I've told this story before but it fits the subject matter so.....my mother used to feed us Jello in every form when we were sick. Chickenpox, measles, mumps, Lake Erie earaches, tonsillitis, you name it. Mother hovered with hot Jello, warm Jello, Jello poured over ice chips, Jello made with ginger ale. An understandable consequence of this sick bed menu is that I H.A.T.E congealed anything now, no matter what it is. So what do I do when my little Sprites are sick with whatever is making the rounds? Hot Jello, warm Jello, Jello poured over ice chips, and Jello made with ginger ale! 😁...See MoreFloof-ish! New food discoveries!
Comments (33)If anyone likes hard seltzer now and then, I found one I really like that is very refreshing in summer. It’s called Truly, and is similar to White Claw, but I like it better. The citrus flavors are my favorite....a mix of grapefruit, lemon, lime and orange. Only 100 calories, 1 g sugar and 2 carbs. I don’t usually even drink carbonated beverages, but this seems very light for a refreshing change after working in the yard in the hot summer....See MoreFood Floof! Unpopular Opinions!
Comments (98)nicole & signet, my nephew's wife also hates the smell of coffee. yeonassky, pineapple pizza is a healthy combo. See: https://www.humnutrition.com/blog/bromelain/ ------------------------- amylou, I'm a complete paradox in that I love the smell of Citrus spray, but my system can't tolerate acidic foods. On the other hand, Sweet spray such as lavender, makes me nauseous & headachy, but yet I always need to sweeten foods to make them tolerable to my acidic system. ------------------------- Like you, I, too, never liked maple syrup (but do like mild molasses which is healthy). As i mentioned in another houzz post (but which probably confused everyone) is that the reason some subsets of people may like a grouping of foods other than the preferences of another subset of people, may be: Their being a supertaster vs. non-taster vs. medium-taster as per Dr.Bartoshuk's research Their having high blood sugar. My oldest sister has been diabetic for a long time, and she liked maple-sugar candies which i myself thought were nauseatingly sweet. My own system is too acidic and i have acid saliva. So i speculate that people with higher blood-sugar thrive on foods which are more extreme, whereas i myself do not. For example: I speculate that diabetics' "sweet saliva" causes them to like bitter chocolate, because their sweet saliva compensates and causes it to be "semi-sweet" (rather than too bitter). I think that diabetics' "sweet saliva" causes very-salty foods to taste "sweet and salty" (rather than overly salty) I think that diabetics' sweet-saliva causes sour foods to taste sweet 'n sour, which might explain why they might consider actual "sweet and sour" meals to be "blah". It's also why they may enjoy very spicy foods. Don't get me wrong. There are grey areas. For example, although i abhor very-bitter chocolate, yet I love burnt veggies, burnt potato chips, and burnt toast. The latter might taste too bitter to many people, yet i love it, even though i'm for the most part a supertaster. I think my 2nd sister may be a medium taster, because she likes very rich chocolate, and she does have slightly high blood sugar. I don't think any researchers ever explored the possible correlation between being a supertaster and blood-sugar status. For example, perhaps a Non-taster may be more predisposed to develop high blood sugar, because they need to "pile on the sugar" in order to taste anything?...See MorePasta Floof.....
Comments (32)Love pretty well all pasta....but Mac and cheese HAS to be elbows....and so does what I call "America chop suey" and others call "goulash". And I really LOVE spinach noodles, just with butter and a little parmesan cheese. I prefer angel hair to spagetti with a red sauce, and fusilli or farfalla with a white sauce. But for a pasta salad it has to be fusilli. And then there is pastina....which I love just buttered....and alphabet noodles....which I haven't seen since my kids were little!...See Moredcarch7 d c f l a s h 7 @ y a h o o . c o m
