Slowly I am trying to work my way through this immense and interesting file.
Unless I am mistaken, I don't see any reference to using flax oil instead of ground flax. Is this not a useful item?

Terrific stuff, dhardy123!

You are only allowed to eat yogurt you make yourself that ferments for 24 hrs to break down all of the sugar. You can use this to make yogurt cheese, etc.
I can appreciate that you don't want to get into all the theory behind this, but I just don't get this about yoghurt. Is it somehow different when made commercially?
It's no problem to make yoghurt and the creme fraiche/soft cheese stuff either and I would be glad to do it.

I would like some crockpot recipes.
I have three and they are used for candying everything I candy, and for large potluck kinds of meals and they keep everything warm. And for Chinese feasts where they hold the Hot and Sour soup.
Never cooked a single recipe in one yet.

I had to add a note about my new Cuisinart can opener. Sits on the counter and takes up a bit of space, it's true, but it's the first can opener in my entire life that I have fallen in love with.

Low-carb and paleo are a bit different. I think the main divergence is dairy: cheese, cream, and unsweetened yogurt are low carb, but did not feature in the pre-farming, hunter-gatherer diet.
As far as I understand, an important change occurred when we began to drink the milk of cattle. Until then, man had used goat and sheep milk. We drank goat milk for a long time,...and then like most things...slid back into cow milk. I don't actually 'drink' milk, but my DH still does.
However, he had no weight problems at all and I do. Besides I never was a 'milk' drinker even as a child.

For us, the hardest meal is breakfast. IndyRob, Do you eat yoghurt and berries every day?
Today I had a shake with whey protein powder in it. DH does not like the taste of the powder. Bit of a problem.
What else is good for breakfast? (I haven't had time to read all the stuff I downloaded last night so I haven't looked up breakfasts yet, but personal stories and recipes are always useful.)
Thanks.

And there are some of us who simply cannot live on the no-carb diet. I become very distressed, emotionally and physically, on that diet. It's quite weird.
I'll second Heidi's statements.
Thanks for all the information...I have saved quite a bit of it to read later and have asked for the newsletters available. To be able to look up the GI index of foods quickly would be a boon.

Isn't that the best thing about chocolate and candy...most people are happy for the gift of candy and happily devour it regardless of the beautiful looks or lack there of!
Yes, I do find that my popularity has increased over the past two years.
The best pieces of the toffee are off to the vets (canine) tomorrow. Never hurts at all.

Today confectionery partner, Barbara, and I made our first marbled chocolatey bits and Enstrom Copycat Toffee (which is to die for).
The toffee was not a complete success as the chocolate did not stick well to one side...both were wiped and dusted with cocoa. Next time, we will score and break the toffee into pieces and then dip them separately. However, I don't expect the recipients of this largesse to refuse to eat them because the coating lacks perfection.

In mid-2008 her husband had a built-in pasta cooker installed when they got a new sink, dishwasher and etc., a partial kitchen renovation. It's part of the sink. He saw it at a home show and had to have one.
Just when I thought I had heard of every incredible kitchen item...

Real, old-fashioned macaroni and cheese.

Hi Curls,
For a first attempt, this is pretty brilliant. My first attempt looked as if the dog had helped me. Way to go!

Congratulations, Marmish, on a job well done.

...going back a bit in this thread...I should mention that I now have my very own battery-operated Trudeau pepper mill.

Jeez, Darienne, you have led me into temptation!
Dear Girl, I cannot believe that you have the temerity to blame me for your own weaknesses.
I told Ed about the chopper and he just gave me the look.
He does all our chopping. And also...as he calls them...'the mises' for Chinese food which we eat constantly. -
Case in point: The Veg-o-Matic. If you do a search for one on eBay today it can cost up to about forty bucks. Or you can buy the new Williams-Sonoma version for about the same price. Everything old is new again...
Omigawd. I think I have fallen in love with the Williams-Sonoma Chopper

What I've found valuable is that many of the discussions/descriptions have been reworked to make them easier to understand.
Well put. Exactly

Thanks all for all the posts.
Thanks Karen, your post was particularly helpful. I've made a list of the useful items for us from your list and all the other suggestions given and will check it in our local Costco when I go in.
As for the Amex card...if it is free, and if I pay it off each month as we always pay off our cards, then I can't see any problem...at this point. Stuff, however, has been known to arise from 'no problem' situations before and smack me up the side of the head.
I'll report back anything worth noting from my end.
Thanks again.

Something desserty?

Thank you.

Was just reading the new thread ' Breakfasts around the World' and discussing same with DH and suddenly remember what could be my contribution to this thread: French toast fingers at Big Boy. OMG
Never get to have them because we normally travel westward and they are mostly east and southward. But I remember... -
Aha. Peterpatch just got its first Superstore less than a year ago and we don't actually shop there except on rare occasions. Find their prices higher than the others, like Price Chopper and No Frills, although they do carry a few more exotic bits and bobs.

llc45. Merci mille fois.
Shall show this to the DH and then go back to making yoghurt.
