The other point about the potato is that Europeans didn't eat them until the 16th century. Apparently, they were originally found in Peru. I'm going do a history of food thread. Interesting that they put Oxalates in washing up powder. The Greeks cook their wedge shaped potatoes in Lemon juice, olive oil and a little water in the oven. Lemon juice is a counteract for oxalates. It has fascinated me for years how humans came up with ways to make foods either more palatable or less toxic or even more nutritional. Take grits for instance. Soaking dried corn kernels in lye, chemically popping them, drying them again and grinding the "hominy" to make either grits or masa flour is not something that indigenous people would figure out by accident. But the result of that process makes the B vitamins in corn available to the body. Otherwise those vitamins are excreted and of no value. Folks in the southern US add vinegar to just about any boiled "green." Spinach, collards, mustard, broccoli leaves and poke. Poke salat by the way is poisonous unless you boil it three times and discard the water each time. Who figured that out? How many people died before the three water changes were used? |

Good morning everyone
We are almost done with July. August is ahead. The month where you can cook your meals on the hood of your car and save electricity.

U.S. UNDER 12 TEAM DEMOLISHES NEW ZEALAND 43-1 IN HISTORIC VICTORY The future of U.S. baseball seems to be in pretty good hands. The U.S. 12 and under baseball team opened its World Cup schedule on Saturday by playing New Zealand. And they did not mess around. The U.S. team started with three runs in the first inning, then added eleven more in the second. 14-0 would be bad enough, but the third inning is where the game really got out of control. Thanks to two home runs by Bryant Ju, the U.S. team put up 20 runs in a single inning. Yeah. A 34-0 lead after three innings. They must have taken their foot off the gas afterwards, as they scored just nine more runs in the fourth inning. In an inexcusable blemish, the U.S. allowed an unearned run, meaning the final score after four innings was an eye popping 43-1. www.outkick.com/u-s-under-12-team-demolishes-new-zealand-43-1-in-historic-victory/ |

Indeed ~ hunger has prolly been the largest source of inspiration in all of invention. |

You tube is a great resource for cooking in and on your car in August.
FlyoverCountry I would recommend honing your BBQ skills on your truck hood.
As a start, here is a quick cookie how-to.

SlowLoris, I did read your post about the food workarounds, it appears that they were doing a lot during colonial times that weren't healthy for themselves or their animals. History says that they were even giving food that was toxic to their animals. Not a good idea to give oxalates to animals, especially horses, cattle and sheep. Peanuts are for monkeys, not horses, cattle and sheep. Probably the reason that people had far shorter lifespans centuries ago due to what they were eating for survival. British people tend to be far less "obsessive" about food than some Americans can be and we eat far less than our counterparts in the US. Our plates are far smaller. I don't know anyone that drinks a Spinach smoothie in the UK. The juicing community, think they're being healthy, while many of them are doing harm to their bodies. If I ever made a smoothie when i was having issues getting food into me, I would drink a banana mixed up with cows milk sometimes. The almond milks and other plant based milks etc are on the shelves in the UK, although they are very expensive, so it is probably those that can afford them that are drinking all those oxalates.

Wonder why that link didn't embed? Don't use addys with the "share" stuff in it ~ grab the vid link from the addy bar, then use the video insert icon to paste the vid & post. |

Rummaging around in the pantry. Nope, the last Corningware casserole dish hit the tile floor sometime in the 90'S
Darn! Is there a market for vintage Reveve sauce pans? I have a stack of those. Some slightly bent from dropping on the tile floor. Probably not.

AHS17 Lost Seasonality and Overconsumption of Plants: Risking Oxalate Toxicity - Sally Norton
In the context of a global food system and 24-hour retail groceries offering every imaginable food 365 days a year, the dictum to “eat more plants” may be dangerous to human health due to unaware excessive consumption of oxalates. Dramatic increases in calcium-oxalate kidney stones, and functional problems with digestive health, neurotoxicity (sleep, brain function), inflammation (pain, autoimmunity, cellular stress, fatigue), and connective tissue instability (osteoporosis, arthritis, vulnerability to injury) are all consistent with increased oxalate toxicity. Learn how modern food choices and meal patterns create the conditions for accumulation of oxalate in the body, and how oxalates create metabolic havoc. This session explains how modern foods and medicines increase susceptibility to oxalates; makes the case for careful attention to oxalate consumption; dispels the notion that all vegetables and seeds are healthy and safe to eat on a regular basis; and introduces the therapeutic benefits of a low-oxalate diet.
Posting this presentation because its only 38 minutes. Plus I was writing about eating seasonal food 23+ years ago.
