Coffee and a Chunky. Gotcha! I haven't seen one of these in ages and they are the bomb. Not dark chocolate but very good chocolate. It's kind of soft too.
I had two hard boiled eggs, a cup of yogurt, and a cup of blueberry ice cream. I didn't bother to take a picture because I was pretty sure nobody would care.
I have been experimenting with hard boiled eggs. A lot of people have posted methods. One wants you to put the eggs in cold water and bring all to a boil, one says to get the water boiling and then put the eggs in, another says the best way is to steam the eggs. But all advise 11 to 13 minutes of cooking and an ice water soak at the end of that time. The simple truth is it doesn't matter much how you boil your eggs, and the time depends on your altitude, but the ice water bath is absolutely necessary to make the egg let go of its shell. There are various ways to get the shell off. I use a teaspoon.
The way to make yogurt is to mix powdered milk normally and then heat slowly to 185F. Heating slowly allows all the proteins to do their thing, producing a smooth creamy product with little liquid. When it has cooled to 120F, add the starter and transfer to whatever containers you use. Put the containers in a bucket and add water at 120F and leave it for a few hours, up to overnight. The extended time at reduced temperature encourages more than one strain of yogurt bacteria, and that gives a nice flavor.
To make ice cream, mix one cup sugar and one quart half and half in a double boiler. Heat, stirring frequently. While that heats, beat two eggs in a bowl and add two TBSP flour and one half tsp salt. When the pan gets warm to the touch, transfer two or three TBSP of milk to the egg mixture while stirring. When the pan is too hot to touch, or 140F if you are a stickler for details, add the egg mixture slowly to the milk while stirring constantly. Stir the mixture constantly until it reaches 180F or until it coats the back of your stirring paddle. "Coats" means you can draw a line through it with your finger. Cool thoroughly. When you go to churn it, add a can of pie filling.
One more tip: If you plan to make a lot of ice cream, buy a 25 pound bag of pool salt instead of using food salt or rock salt.
Nev, I think it is one thing that can save us. We have so much garbage to choose from in stores these days.
This and sprouting your own organic seeds and beans and nuts is a great idea and micro nutrients you can sprout and grow and eat are really catching on. (cheap too)
It's dried out for one and we can ferment living fruit and have a much better cereal. THAT is what I thought you meant. Not this garbage. Why would I put those flakes in my body that are made from that manufacturing plant? No way. I mean I eat lots of junk that I should not, but I know it is not healthy. This is just empty junk you are eating.
Watch this some day. It may help change your life.
Calling garbage probiotics is the same ploy they used when labeling junk as organic. They really stretch the word meaning here.
If it is out of whack, you need to check out why. But I am with you. I would eat it too if I had little recourse to other things, like knowing a better alternative.
I used to drink coffee when I was constipated and that is much worse than your choice.
Now I eat a lot of fruit and veggies and that has ended for good. I drink a lot of carrot juice and beet juice and apple juice and apple cider vinegar is a GREAT probio.
