    obscure and sometimes arbitrary variables exist.

    Gngngngn (snarl).

    I'm not convinced that it makes a difference.
    Trans fat, too. Much of the research implicates
    all palm oils in heart problems, so that lets
    out both those products ... and also, which the
    health nuts don't realize, coconut oil as well.
    Can't win for losing sometimes.

    As they said about the anorexic.

    Worrying about some dubious proposition is not
    worth it.

    certain animals, insects or whatever, there would be a noticeable
    shift.
    Of course, ancient peoples would most likely
    have viewed small mammals in the way I do.
    They might have been more sympathetic to
    birds, which they could have noticed helped
    keep the insect population under control.
    Small mammals have their place in the ecosystem too so I don't write
    them off.

    No doubt in every case, but it's exceedingly
    difficult to discern what that is.

    and won't get vandalized by the creatures.
    Sounds good. We got some grapefruit once in AZ that
    were like > ML> that. > ML> And these folks are so blase about their
    good fortune. Once in a while Lilli will
    They usually are.
    After a while the novelty palls.
    And, certain drugs that have to be taken preclude grapefruit in the diet.
    There are always grapefruit-friendly
    alternatives.
    Yes, and we do buy other citrus.

    Other citrus have similar effects, apparently
    the closer genetically the more severe, with
    tangelos and bitter oranges leading the list.

    And the utterly wholesome apple has interactions
    with many drugs. For my own curiosity I looked it
    up and found this article:

    Chen, et al., Food-drug interactions precipitated by
    fruit juices other than grapefruit juice, J. Food and
    Drug Analysis, XXVI, 2, pp. S61-S71:

    apple juice-fexofenadine, atenolol, aliskiren; orange
    juice-aliskiren, atenolol, celiprolol, montelukast,
    fluoroquinolones, alendronate; pomelo juice-sildenafil;
    grape juice-cyclosporine), ... Seville orange
    juice-felodipine, pomelo juice-cyclosporine, orange-
    aluminum containing antacids).

    The article does go on to say that the nongrapefruit
    interactions are mostly reported as less severe, though.

    If she eats a fairly well rounded diet, she shouldn't have to worry about scurvy.
    Consider whom you're referring to.
    Maybe add some lemon to a glass of water? push comes to shove, the
    vitamin C tablet is the easiest way to get C in the diet.

    You're assuming that she perceives a need for it.
    That's hardly the case. On the other hand, she
    no doubt gets enough from bloody rare meat, which
    has more than most people give it credit for.

    there was plenty of useable avocado in them. Generally tho, we tried
    to > pick our avocadoes from the tree.
    Was the picking criterion similar to that for
    peaches? I.e., ripe enough that a quick twist
    makes it come off.
    Basically, the easier it is to pick, the riper it is. We had a picker

    Makes sense, because the easy to pick fruit are
    closest to drops, which are the really ripe ones.

    pole (pole with a basket at one end, "tines" hooked over one side of the
    open end of the basket. Raise the pole, snag an avocado in the basket
    and pull. Then lower your pole to get the avocado out of the basket,
    repeat until you have as many as you want. We never did empty the tree
    as it had so many fruit, and a lot of them out of reach of even the
    pole.

    Eh, leave the ones up top for the birds!

    [caramel pork]
    Menus change, and I was referring to
    off the menu.
    Not being that familiar with the cuisine, we don't order off the menu.

    Vietnamese caramelized pork
    categories: French, American, main
    servings: 4

    h - For the pork
    1 1/2 Tb olive oil
    1 1/2 Tb brown sugar
    2 ts garlic salt
    1 ts onion powder
    1 ts mild paprika
    1/2 ts freshly ground black pepper
    1 ts finely sliced cilantro stems (opt)
    2 lb pork tenderloin, silverskin removed
    - M says use a fattier cut
    h - For the sauce
    3/4 c sugar
    1/2 c water, divided
    1 Tb light corn syrup
    1 Tb soy sauce
    2 ts fish sauce
    1 Tb finely grated fresh ginger
    1 Tb finely chopped fresh lemongrass or lemongrass paste
    1 ts chili garlic sauce

    Line a sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup. Spray
    the foil with cooking spray or drizzle with a bit
    of oil. Set aside.

    Combine the olive oil, brown sugar, garlic salt,
    onion powder and paprika in a small bowl and stir
    till well combined.

    Place the pork on prepared pan and pat dry with a
    paper towel. Rub the pork all over with the brown
    sugar mixture. Use your hand to thoroughly coat.
    Allow to sit with rub while oven preheats.

    Preheat oven to 475ÿF/250C. Roast pork for 8 min
    then remove from oven and flip to opposite side
    with tongs. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil
    then return to oven and continue cooking another
    10 to 15 min or until temperature reads 145F/63C
    in the thickest portion. Check temp after 10 min
    and every couple of min after. [M says cook to
    no more than 130F.]

    Tent pork loosely with foil and allow to rest for
    10 min. Slice meat about 1/4" thick. Combine
    sliced pork and sauce and serve.

    If making ahead, cool then wrap meat tightly in
    foil and refrigerate until ready to use.

    For the sauce
    While the meat is roasting, combine sugar,
    1/4 c water and corn syrup in a medium pan. Stir
    in the center of the pan to combine. Bring to a
    boil then reduce to a simmer and cook 5 to 7 min
    until mixture turns a medium amber color. Swirl
    pan occasionally once color begins to change.
    Remove from heat and carefully add remaining
    1/4 c water (mixture will spatter), soy sauce,
    fish sauce, ginger, lemongrass and chili garlic
    sauce. Stir well then return to heat and bring
    to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 2 to 3 min
    until sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat
    and set aside. If you like a thicker sauce, just
    let it simmer a little longer.

    To make nuoc cham, combine 5 Tb water, 3 Tb sugar,
    2 Tb rice vinegar, 1 Tb fish sauce and 1 ts finely
    chopped cilantro (opt) and in a glass jar. Shake
    until well combined. We like to serve lots of
    fresh raw veggies with the caramelized pork and
    drizzle the nuoc cham over the veggies.

    Which none of us are in any danger of becoming.

    The article does go on to say that the nongrapefruit

    And none of those drugs are ones we have to worry about. I'm done with
    the 2 weeks of antibiotics my ortho doctor wanted me to have. I had
    yogurt, with active cultures, almost every day so had no adverse
    reaction to the extended use of them.

    That's hardly the case. On the other hand, she
    no doubt gets enough from bloody rare meat, which
    has more than most people give it credit for.

    So you are making sure she gets C in some form, at least every other
    day?

    Might be worth trying if we go to a Viet Namese restaurant. Have to ask
    tho, if they use the cilantro or not.
