The only oats we ever use is oatmeal, which is mostly a breakfast food, (but it's good in cookies and as a filler in meatloafs.) How do you eat oats for dinner?

When you say oatmeal, do you mean porridge?

My version of porridge is rolled oats, with semi skimmed milk, bananas, honey,
sultanes, maybe a bit of dry coconut all mixed in. Yum

just a share - we tried it , it worked...

take 2cups of 'whole oats', 'organic if you can get it' - or whatever kind you can get - add to a half-gallon
of distilled water or try and find the best water that you can., purified, spring, etc...
SOAK for '24' hours in the fridge, shake it-up a few times over the 24hrs. -
drain well and guess what?!?!? - you have one of the most beneficial 'MILKS', that is able to
help 'HEAL" a multitude of ailments, 'particularly, STOMACH' issues'...

As an ex-Catholic turned ex-pentecostal, I can tell you what threw me. Not knowing when to stand or sit. And not having to kneel at all. I liked the don't-have-to-kneel part though, and it was more of a soft toss than a full fledged "threw."

A little help on the customs was all I really needed for any denomination changes I've made. (Talking to people before and after service. I mean like people actually talked casually in church. Wow! Also threw me. lol)

Years ago I visited a Catholic Church for a wedding, there was these little soft stool
things. I took me a while to realise they were far kneeling on! I'm surprised Catholics don't all
have worn out knee caps.

where hubby and I live, we are able access live oysters, but alas, they have taken this
privilege away from us, they say because of chems, and we do believe this, but where we live
we KNOW WHERE TO GO but NO, 'they' are 'WATCHING':p, seriously, they are, it's against the law,
just ask 'willie'...

anyway MIRI, this post is your and lynn's fault, we just want to be able to eat some 'home-grown'
natural oysters...

lynn, you seriously need to 'develope' some new and 'sophisticated 'fish-like' tastes... -

Hi there! I suppose it depends which part of Africa she is referring to. Certain coastal countries are more likely to have coconuts in abundance (right now East African countries come to mind like Kenya & Tanzania as well as Mozambique & West African coastal nations like Ghana & Gabon - to name a few). My landlocked nation doesn't grow any so they are certainly not
apart of our cuisine. I can find them at the green grocers though - they would have been imported of course. I am not sure how exactly they are consumed in general. We just enjoy the milk and the flesh too. However they are found in the food of other countries like Tanzania (Fish in coconut curry) or Zanzibari beans with a Coconut soup. (shown below). In my country however, if I hand a typical Zimbabwean a coconut you can rest assured that it will not find its way into a saucepan in any form.


Ummmm...there's coconut in there...:rolleyes:...somewhere

Yes, rice everyday, thats why i try to think of something else to break the pattern once in a while, like pasta one night, oats or pan de sal on weekends so less cooking for breakfast, some soft rice (again!) cakes with grated coconut like they sell in some streets in Quezon City from some northern province (forgot-)...

I've been using my dehydrator a lot lately. A bunch of tasty raw and vegan foods.
Not to hard to do either. Just takes forever to dehydrate at around 110 degrees.

I have evidence why food combing is real. Not a myth like some misguided people state.
How about over 200 people I have had experience with that say they have more energy, feel less bloated, and sleep better when they began combining foods correctly.

It’s not easy to change things because we, Filipinos, have been doing some like eating rice w/ meat and eggs in many combinations esp for breakfast a long long time (tapsilog = tapa + sinangag (fried rice) + egg). We did not grow up knowing how long certain foods took to digest. We did not know that certain foods call for different digestive enzymes and that they were meant to work independently. For ex., starches are digested by the enzyme amylase; protein requires protease; fats require lipase… that various carbs require specific enzymes to break them down to glucose, depending on the type of sugar. That every food has its own transit time and certain foods take longer to digest...!
