• Bread still tastes good to me, but everything else has a "wang" even when it's not chemically. It just tastes "off". I did something absolutely disturbingly horrible (for me anyway I haven't done this in YEARS and years)..I had a Zero bar. I used to…

• I won't buy recipe books if I don't get tempted/aware of them properly. Emtpdmom and JoyceH are what/who turn/s people like me onto the raw-books that we would overlook otherwise. :) Same with cook-books. I have to try a recipe or two first. I suppo…

  in Does anyone have the recipe for the "Raw Pecan Turtle Cheesecake" from Sweet Gratitude? Comment by have_mersey
• I get that from two things.. 1. a small short detox if I have had only the green juice all day, or a LOT of green juice. 2. Non-organic produce. Not all, but some, even if I try to wash/rinse. The kale we get around here is not organic, and it taste…

• duwan- I think I will! It is rain killing the Lavender this year, but I wondered why they were so unhappy last year (I had three varieties!!:( ), and I think it WAS the humidity. Missouri can be bad about that. The least humid place in my house also…

• Hey Grew up in SPFD too. And THINKING of moving to GA if I could get a job there. :D cool. Anyway, for me I am growing lots of greens, and herbs. Greens are what I eat the most of, and seem to have a LOT of pesticides, so I figured I would do that. …

• Yes! All sorts. :) Mostly Rooibos lately because it is easily obtainable, and reminiscent of black tea.

  in How many of you still drink herbal tea? Comment by have_mersey
• Dr. Bronner's. If I use anything. Generally I rinse, and rub with warm water, then I rinse with cool after. :) Only if I have eaten something i shouldn't have, do I need soap.

• Frozen chopped bananas and water. If they are too ripe it will tase like banana ice cream, but if they are just ripe, they will taste like very thick vanilla. start with a cold belnder and don't add much water. the trick is to pulse, or stop and sti…

  in raw on a budget Comment by have_mersey
• :P hehe Yeah. licorice, bread smells, vanilla, and such are outwardly attractive. I just wondered about the science of it inwardly. When carrying male children i've heard it is common for them to crave, salty, mineraly, foods (like celery, but proba…

  in Very Random Questions... Comment by have_mersey
• Tea itself is not raw...though you could try it with herbs, you have to make sure that they are not high in oils. The bacteria feed off of regular sugar best. Whatever they don't eat is converted to good sugars. The point of eating raw is to know yo…

• maybe just a detox thing. It should calm down in a bit. Perhaps your body just needs that much for now.. Cuccumbers and celery help hydrate too..

  in Vitamineral Green or Pure Synergy Comment by have_mersey
• It may be a yeast problem. Also, are you getting enough b-vitamins in your food? If you used to be (or are) a caffiene drinker/eater, it takes a while to build up the b vitamins again. I still drink tea, and I noticed the more times that I forget an…

  in coconut kefir? Comment by have_mersey
• I heard kefir cannot keep reproducing without animal milk. I believe it was due to lactose. I would really love to try it. :( But I guess I can make yogurt and such. Unless anyone knows the magic of keeping the "grains" happy vegan-ly.

  in Anyone ever started a kombucha from bottle of GT's kombucha?? Comment by have_mersey
• Mine was getting too yeasty sitting on the deep freeze (heat from the bottom or over 75 you get more yeast, heat in the early 70's from the top of jar grows more bacteria), so I went ahead and scooped the film and top half of the liquid off, and use…

• 3 weeks in a place between 75-80 F should be enough to tell if there is a start of something growing..it may need slightly longer if it is sluggish or a little cool in your kitchen, before being ready. But 3 weeks hsould be enough to tell if it is w…
