What's For Dinner

It seems like many modern conveniences have affected our health.
Studying Introduction to Nutrition at WVU, we learned how the wealthy ancients suffered common mal nutritional ailments that the poor peasants didn't. Most were due to processed foods they could afford.

With the end of small farms that were fertilized by manure, corporate farms only provide NPK, 3 elements/ nutrients. That's all that chemical commercial fertilizer provides.
That is being attacked as well .
The largest food producer in Europe is outlawing nitrogen as a deadly pollutant, just as they are carbon here .
Famine is being engineered and carried out in slow motion right before our very eyes.

Excellent. I like both.

I notice though that when I eat spinach, I experience a quick burst of extraordinary strength in my biceps, and weird images of tanks or nuclear explosions appear on or inside the arm.

that's because you are popeye's grand nephew!

So glad to hear Mom is better!

Well blow me down...

That's why the farmers are pushing back.

I posted it under the prayer request section.
She nearly died, but God is showing mercy.
She has a long ways to go but shows improvement daily.

I wish I could afford to eat healthy. The stuff is too expensive.

Oh how I want her to be able to eat those.
When the doctor's insisted on the tracheostomy and stomach tube, I insisted on the largest port available so she will be able to eat real food when she gets home.
The hospice Dr refused and the surgeon said he only does the size available for the hospital IV sized tube premix only. After much deliberation it was worse than McDonald's telling me that she's only allowed to choose from their menu for breakfast lunch and dinner the rest of her life.
It upsets her stomach.

My favorite videos are from the Netherlands of farmers spraying their capital with their manure spreaders. The only thing that would beat that would be a video of quitting time when the building checks out for the day.

Fed up French farmers spray government buildings with manure

Since the politicians are full of it, this should make them feel at home.

I have some split pea lentils soaking overnight. Tomorrow I'll be working to make lentil pattys. My hubby loves this new recipe I found online (but made a lot of changes to because I don't like some or don't have some of the ingredients lol). I'll take some of the lentils, and some tuna, eggs, onions, etc., and mix and fry them all up together in pattys with gravy. Not sure yet... haven't really set in stone, the recipe yet. lol

Sounds like a good recipe.
Those little beans go with everything and are my favorite common bean. They really don't need soaked to cook in boiling water fast, BUT soaking helps get rid of toxic lectins.
That's a plant chemical that causes painful inflammation and crystals. That reminds me that I need to soak some beans for my meal tomorrow too. I'll pour off the water and put fresh in for boiling.

I need to learn to cook lentils, and find some recipes for them.
My husband says he would love some good lentil soup, and we were given tons of bags of lentils...
We were also given a ton of bags of various other legumes that just sit, taking space in my pantry because I don't know how to cook them other than knowing most have to soak- and I never think about using them far enough in advance to soak/prep them

The same goes for bagged rice. We were given a ton of that, and I have yet to be able to cook it properly. It either stays too hard or gets too mushy, so I stopped attempting to make it. I have brown, and various wild varieties and even following packaging directions I haven't been successful cooking it.

The exception is green split pea-
I make nummy split pea soup!
Whenever we have a ham, the first thing my kiddos ask is how long before I make the green soup

I understand.
My Mom told me recently, before the hospitalization, that she threw away a bunch of beans. What she doesn't realize is that even beans and rice has gotten much more expensive. It will keep almost indefinitely if stored right, with the exception of brown rice.

We know from the globalists own words that they want to bring about famine, so I would store those for a rainy day. My teacher, Dr Peter Osborne, who wrote the book No Grain, No Pain, would probably disagree with me.
Rather than throw away good dry food, if it causes you no health problems and you're pain free, I would store it and use it periodically. Do you have a vacuum sealer? If you wait for a sale, they and the bags can be reasonable for a base model. Gasket lid buckets don't take up much space when stacked and thereare ways to get out the oxygen for long term. You can make hooks from metal coat hangers or by a 6 pack of hooks at Family Dollar. This doubles space if you want to hang the bags from a basement or pantry ceiling.

As to cooking instructions, there are keys to the rice that I've found helpful. I used to have the same problem with mushy or starchy rice until I learned how to improve my technique. Different rices call for different instructions too.

Don't give up, there are a lot of good instructions online for various beans and rices.
Although it's pricey these days, your husband will probably like Middle Eastern and Indian varieties of small beans if he likes lentils.
Have you ever tried the Dal's? One of my favorites are orange or yellow Moong Dal.
They are mild and have a pleasant flavor compared to the stronger tasting American/ European kind.

I'll be having curry chicken, carrots, and white rice.

My favorite lentil soup to make is meatless Hungarian lentil soup. Very tasty. I also really like meatless lentil chili. Lentils are a favorite of mine over beans for a few reasons: I don't have to remember to soak them overnight, they cook up pretty fast, and they are just really tasty. Now, I want to go make some lentil soup.
