But the old adage...... don't throw stones. (or undress with the lights on.). I did make some raw cacao pudding with the Irish Moss. Some days nothing else will do but a little chocolate pudding. Surprising how it helps. :)<br /><br />Red: Trust me, I''m not promoting that others try to fast, it just comes easy to me. I think the reason I like the taste of the fermented is because of the salt. <br /><br />You're probably not home long enough to ferment. My friend Marilyn of 50 plus years, who I often write about, wants to make pickles too, but she's never in one place long enough. :)Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-83777051943160552572012-12-09T10:10:57.393-08:002012-12-09T10:10:57.393-08:00Inger,

I don't think people begin to have a clue to life until they are at least in their 60's. But we always think we know it all when we're young. (big grin) Because I know I did.<br />Thanks for being my friend, you Swedish Bombshell. !!!!

Ha ha<br /><br />Su-sieee : Over the hill and through the valley. Like going to Grandmother's house, huh? Better to make them at home, unless you like the drive. Mushroom thumb. I like that. Only it was sheer dumb luck. I put them upstairs in a spare room and I was a little nervous about the temp. To tell the truth, I kinda forgot about them for about a week. I was afraid to go in the room as I was sure they were dried out and ruined. To my surprise, I found this mushroom block just covered with beautiful shiitaki's. They were so large, I could only eat 3 and one was almost 5 in. across.

Ha I think it's absent at the big Mac but I recall many years ago when I lived in Minneapolis, a little deli had a big showcase of pickled everything. It was as good as home made and probably was. Unfortunately, nothing commercial compares today. <br /><br />Al, Now, now, let's not be picky about a name but if it really bothers you, we could call them "Merde Shrooms."Only the French will know. <br /><br />Thanks.

I tried all kind of home remedy things but couldn't shake it. Then my daughter came with the tonic. That is some potent stuff. It has garlic, onions, horseradish, hot peppers and ferment it all in raw apple cider vinegar. (Seems like I left out something.... but look it up under the Master Tonic.)<br />That must interfere with your singing too. It's difficult to sing when you're coughing. My granddaughter is the one who has the band and she's the singer. She wants to learn fermentation before I kick the bucket. For Christmas, I got her big jars, a large crock, books, airlocks, etc. .... all she needs to learn fermentation. It sure agrees with the digestive system too. <br />Hope you find your cure soon.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-27790331162358933362012-12-08T07:25:33.238-08:002012-12-08T07:25:33.238-08:00Terry,

As long as I didn't croak from the mushrooms, I'm going to have some more for breakfast. Honest, Terry, best schrooms I've ever eaten and there is a ton of them. I'm also going to make some of your magnesium spray. Good job, girl. I like that idea. I can now use my Vitamin D lamp. I lost the special cord when I moved and was afraid it got tossed out but it was in my sox drawer. How'd it get in there? <br />Try that tonic. It's potent. Grating horseradish root is worse than peeling onions. I can't remember ever grating it before but maybe I have. There are a lot of things I can't remember... :)Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-7094630282719549122012-12-08T07:10:53.230-08:002012-12-08T07:10:53.230-08:00Patti : I was a nervous about the right temp for...Patti : I was a nervous about the right temp for the mushrooms. I put them in a spare room upstairs and turned the heat down. I kinda forgot about them to tell the truth and when I went upstairs, it felt cold. I was afraid I had ruined them. But to my shocking eyes, I find these huge gorgeous schrooms. I just sauteed 3 in a little butter and yummm. I did call a girlfriend and asked her to call me today and see if I'm still alive.... Ha Ha. You hear so many stories about poison mushrooms but I'm still kick'n. Except, I think we got a blizzard brewing outside. Wind is blowing snow like crazy.
