Slaw Salad and Savory Dressing

Salad:

1/2 head of red cabbage, finely sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 long stalks celery with leaves, sliced
1 carrot, shredded

Savory Dressing:

2 large cloves garlic
1 - 1 1/2 inch chunk of fresh ginger
3 T. olive oil
1 lemon peeled and deseeded (retaining the membrane and some rind)
1 t. sesame seed oil*
1/2 cup of water
salt to taste

Blend the dressing in a high-speed blender. Use less water if a thicker consistency is desired. This has amazing flavor and is so complimentary to the salad slaw and other bitter-leaf salads especially.

*Sesame seed oil isn't for the person starting the candida diet. However, this is the special ingredient that gives this dressing its savory kick. I wish I could eat this dressing every day but I am just experimenting with previously forbidden ingredients and adding what I can.

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!

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...

Sprouted Lentil Crackers

For 6 days after soaking a 1/2 cup of lentils overnight I allowed them to sprout in a plastic collander covered lightly by a silk-like cloth. At least twice a day I rinsed the lentils (it's winter so I don't need to rinse them so often to keep them fresh). Because my apartment is cool and my pantry with large slightly opened window where I sprout cooler, it took longer than usual for the lentils to sprout and grow, but I didn't need to worry so much about e.coli forming, which is more likely to happen in hotter weather. So after 6 days when the sprouts were growing into a tangle, I found some time to finally make some crackers. Long ago I made some lentil crackers , which turned out really good, so since I was planning a weekend train trip, I thought some crackers for nibbling on the train or when hiking would be nice. And, yup, they were pretty tasty ... although I have to admit, the lentil crackers I ma...
