• I like to soak nuts and seeds overnight, rinse well, dehydrate til crunchy and store in the freezer so the enzyme inhibitors are gone, but I still have crunchy nuts, that are live and ready to use, to make crusts or other recipes that call for unsoa…

• I am surprised that Viktoras didn’t mention that he had also recently lost his wife which has also been a hardship I’m sure, in addition to travel causing him to lose a few pounds. Comparing what one man’s looks like to another is ridiculous unless …

• If your hands are “stained” lemon can help to remove stains. It also helps to remove stains on fingernails and also removes stains from clothing. It’s just a suggestion, can be done in less than 10 minutes, and if that doesn’t help, then calling the…
