Thai Almond Sauce

This was delicious, except I think I'm not quite ready for something quite so "sticky" on my esophagus ... because as I said before, that's where the problem is, and after eating the yummy yummy almond sauce, I felt vague tightness in the throat. I should just stick with whole washed nuts and whole vegies and forget that almond butter exists for just a while longer.

Thai Almond Sauce

3 tablespoons coconut oil

3 tablespoons almond butter

1 1/2 tablespoons minced ginger

1/2 onion, sliced

5 cloves garlic, sliced or minced

1 baby zucchini, sliced

1 baby yellow squash, sliced

3-4 ribs celery, sliced

sea salt

pre-cut the vegies

heat the almond butter and coconut oil over low heat

continually stirring, sautee the onion, garlic and ginger ... then add in the remaining vegies and seasonings.
some additional water will be necessary to prevent burning

yum, there's nothing like young and tender asparagus!

serve with brown rice, or just eat it plain with vegies like me :)

This recipe I bumped into online and just wanted to try it. I prefer not to cook my vegies if I can help it, but hey, an experiment today ["today" being a month ago]. Bittermelon with Egg and Onions Bittermelon with egg and onions, also called goya chanpuru in Japanese, and it is an Okinawan delicacy. I was telling my Philippina friend about it because she introduced me to this exotic healthy "treat...

Reaction to Electric Space Heater

This morning—thankfully it’s the weekend—had some difficulty waking up. Just felt really tired. When I finally got up and looked into the mirror, wow, surprise! My eyes, especially my right eye was very swollen. I knew immediately what happened as this had happened a couple of years before I got systemic candida. swollen eyelid again ... a space heater reaction At that time, I didn’t have floor heat in my one-room so used a space heater. Then one day when I woke up, both of my eyes had almost swollen shut. I was so ashamed to go anywhere, but did go to the store immediately and bought a long duck-billed baseball cap and wore it low for three days as I waited for the swelling to go down. I also went immediately to the hospital to consult with docs about what the hey was happening. Allergy testing was recommended because I had cats and the docs all thought it was them. Nope, I would have reacted long ago or at least had some hint, but I did test for cats, mold and a couple oth...
