Sunflower Black-eyed-pea Hummus

The black-eyed-peas were cooked overnight in a slow cooker; otherwise, this recipe too would be raw. I'm experimenting with protein and fiber-rich foods like beans, but still want to maintain a very high percentage of raw in my diet. This is pretty good. One thing about black-eyed-peas is that they can be eaten straight out of the crock pot without any seasonings, including salt. There's just something satisfying about their flavor that seems complete. Adding a just a touch of cumin and turmeric does bring out their flavor a lot though.

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...
