Re: I made Quinoa Flour (and Popcorn Patties)

Hi. Just looked up tapioca starch. Loaded with carbs and it raises blood sugar

so I'm not going there. I have both chia and flax. I can make chia gel by

soaking some seeds and using the gelled liquid and adding that to the batter

(next time that I do this).

Not going to be for a while because as we go into summer I'm not going to be

cooking that much. I'm doing salads and half sandwiches, etc.

I'll be back in full force in October, doing my soups, etc.

But for now. And I'm excited because I actually had a tuna fish sandwich for

dinner (I took out all the inside of a semonlina roll) added some tuna, celery,

and lots of sprouts and I was in heaven.

Didn't have any popcorn patties left but thankfully I made zucchini ones. OMG,

EXCELLENT. And I made some for tomorrow. Thank god I have a convection oven.

Takes 5 minutes.

I also saw the video about the guy who has been cooking his food in a solar

oven for over 20 years. Amazing.

I buy raw-frozen Portuguese sardines. They are cheap and if cooked properly

delicious. Lots of Omega 3 too. I hope the North Atlantic around Portugal are

not contaminated yet. I try to buy whenever there are some available. They are

sold frozen so i can also keep them in the freezer for a few weeks or months.

is coming up positive for bad stuffs related to the Japanese nuclear melt

down......there are some great natural alternatives which have a similar taste

and mouth feel........
