Thank you Keith.
Not quite yet I'm afraid. Teacher's had a lot of work to do and needs the kids to play nice for a while so she can take a break.

Nicky, I just saw you are sick. I hope you get better soon. I also saw you are a vegan which makes me feel bad about the "get better soon" ribs picture from last week! I will make a vegan raw dish tomorrow in your honor and frankly for my health after the holiday food.

Monkey Man, meet Nurse Janine.
She'd like you to just lie down now and relax.

Thank you for the well-wishes guys!
Donnie, Nurse Janine's prescription sounds really good man!
Brother B, don't feel bad man. I've had to go radical on the diet thing all these years cause nothing else has worked for my complicated poisonings and subsequent hundreds of symptoms. It's not a taste, environmental / political thing but purely a health measure borne out of necessity.
Rabbit food ain't tasty the way I prepare it. If I could go shopping more-often I'd at least use lettuce and tomato in the salad; I guarantee you I'd love that. I call that a "wet" salad. For practical reasons 'though, I've endured the ol' "dry" salad for decades - cabbage, red onion and either kale, spinach or celery, whichever I can get. So only 3 ingredients. Did I mention that it's dry-and-tasteless?
So, bearing all this in mind, whaddaya think I'm watchin' on the telemavision while I eat my dinner (if not Star Trek)? Correct weight - cookin' shows. I've watched the original Iron Chef series about 5 times, but then that's my fave cookin' show.
So, when you guys post pics of the awesome stuff you come up with, I'm salivating and enjoying imagining your enjoying the fruits of your labour. Heck, I wouldn't have "liked" so many posts in that sub-forum if I was offended or didn't want to take a peek. No Siree.
EDIT:
Oh, and thank you for the well-wish too Brother B.

I recently was accused of being pregnant by a 3 year old, along with my doc telling me my BP was getting high again.
Immediately cut WAYYYYYY back on salt, sugar, and fatty proteins. Have come up with a few simple tricks that really
make it easy.
1. These:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ECLIUA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Come in lemon, lime, and orange. Made from freeze dried fruit. With a lot of stuff this easily replaces salt on
the taste buds. It's got a similar acidic tang with zero sodium. Find a meal boring? Sprinkle this stuff on just like
salt.
2. Veggie Burger Crumbles
These have come a LONG way the past 10 years - both texture and taste. Before I cook with them I put em
in a bowl with some beef stock for a couple hours. Drain them really good before using.
Use them in a spaghetti sauce and you will not be able to tell the difference. (mostly)
3. Balsamic Vinegar - the GOOD stuff.
Another ingredient to use in substitute of salt, and even sugar. Takes a little messing with how much to use though.
VERY easy to use too much.
4. Counting Calories
Bought a small scale and now keep track of just how much of stuff (like pasta, cereal, etc.) I'm using when cooking.
Six weeks later and no more pregnant Grandpa.

Donnie, the best substitute for salt is plant sodium, which you need and can never do any harm in any quantity.
Doctors don't seem to understand this. They paint sodium with a broad brush based upon the effects of ingesting too much rock salt - that's from the ocean, dried-up lakes, "ancient" sea beds or whatever. You only absorb perhaps 10% of that inorganic stuff. The rest is just work for the kidneys and an exercise in damage-minimisation by the body by way of fluid retention (if it's caustic to cells and difficult-to-eliminate, the first logical point-of-call is dilution to the point of eventual possible oedema).
Good luck finding concentrated plant sodium 'though. Start a company and "make" the stuff and I'll be first-in-line brother.

I would figure the first step would be to find a way to make celery en masse, cheaply. Then find a way to extract the sodium nitrates. Then give the byproduct to a farm. A x/y monopoly on these processes would be ideal.

Probably one of the all time most ignorant posts Ive seen so far…
Be very glad you’re NOT here in Canada or in Australia.
Even the hard Liberals are waking up to the fact that their rights are also being destroyed.
In the beginning, Gun confiscations and ‘controlled’ speech always make liberals so happy, until eventually even their rights are also shattered…
Then, it’s too late for everyone.

Shitstain is a fucking lazy socialism supporter. You can see that in all Shitstain's posts. He's on here constantly, what else does he do?

Great thinking brother, and exactly what I've imagined for years now! What're the odds?
You've been able to buy "celery salt" for decades but the only stuff I've seen IRL is basically celery-flavoured, well, salt. Similar deal with sesame salt - Celtic Salt mixed with roasted sesame seeds.
If it were easy everyone would do it.

It exists, althought it's availability in other areasI am not sure of. A lot of people here use it in place of nitrates for curing sausages and bacon. It is called "celery juice powder" (inventive name I know. People use it because they can loudly proclaim "NO NITRATES ADDED!" and use that as a value added proposition.Great thinking brother, and exactly what I've imagined for years now! What're the odds?
