Yeah. Bigelow does have some good stuff. Their chamomile 'tea' is much better than most other off-the-shelf brands I've tried.

Have you not found much via Google? https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/restaurants/tokyo-top-vegetarian-restaurants

I'm a confirmed nutcase so you're not alone!!!

I don't drink tea much anymore, unfortunately. Nothing fancy, PG Tips sometimes. I wonder what the Queen drinks?

FWIW, I've used small amounts of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) as a tenderizer/moisture retainer in some of my sausage making experiments. Source: Handbook of Meat and Meat Processing By Y. H. Hui

Yum! I love elderberries!

I drop a frozen chicken on it.

At the dairy farm(s) we used a LOT of bleach!!! I don't use much at home—a container lasts a year or so.

The 'official' government code of regulations and such. They can be found somewhere on their website—it's been a long time since I've researched them and the website and such has changed a lot. https://www.fda.gov/Food/default.htm

It may have been an old FDA food code recommendation. And the exact context, in terms of the code, isn't clear.

Wish I was closer. I'd tag along! I think the closest IKEA to me is the one just north of Philly—200+ miles!

That would be a good question for Dr. Snyder, but, unfortunately, he's now retired. Maybe there's something more to be found somewhere on his website.

But it's so cute!

FWIW, The FDA's 'processed cheese' regulations and such.

Lucky you!!!

I'm an extremist. I got a very good deal on 80+ lbs. of quality chicken leg quarters back in early spring. I've been working my way through the chicken in various simple ways along with green beans, spinach, etc. preserved from last years garden.

We lost a chest freezer full of food a couple years ago! What a mess!

I use a blood glucose lancet device. Works like a charm!

I've been steaming rather than boiling eggs for a very long time too. I can't remember where I picked up that tip—it's been so long.

Thanks! I can't afford to buy much from Amazon, but I do occasionally grab a product or two. I don't have, and can't afford a Prime membership—but I have a 'guest' membership on another account. The primary account is set up to benefit a near-by animal shelter, http://www.tannerspaws.org/ There's no way to add an additional charity or the like.

Lucky you!!!

I have not eaten it that way—only raw. It's something I must try.

I must try this sometime!!!
