I make use of the edible weeds in my yard and make a habit of stopping at ethnic grocers when I'm out of town. That adds diversity I can't buy at my local shop in this small, very un-diverse, regional town I don't get out of much. (Petrol prices! Eek!)
I have begun sprouting to add diversity. I sprout a lot of beans and lentils before cooking them. I also make broccoli sprouts, sunflower seed sprouts etc.

From my reading acne is commonly caused by mineral deficiencies.
Excessive sweating can be a vitamin d deficiency.
We evolved eating hundreds of different plant foods and now the recommended advice is to eat 30 different plant foods each week.
We're meant to eat as much variety as we can afford, I guess.Thanks a lot! I will work on more plant diversity.

It's a nutritional problem and the solution to that is to eat properly.
Any tips on how to improve nutrition to eliminate acne? I have a teen too with this problem and I am willing to give it a go. He does eat a salad every day for one meal and no added sugars in anything but has very oily skin and sweats a lot.

I found this online. I cannot find any countertop ovens/air fryer combos that have a stainless steel interior.
Thank you very much. That is very informative!
I was told on another forum that Cuisinart and Oster have all-stainless-interior countertop air fryer ovens. I haven't verified that information yet.

The owner's manual says th einterior features a non stick coating, though from what I see, it's just the sides and top, but not the heating elements or the removable tray. I would be glad to take a picture if that would help. The owner's manual doesn't say specifically what it's coated with.
Thank you. I am asking because my son would like to get a bird as a pet. We don’t want any PTFE and would prefer an all-stainless interior air fryer if those are available. I could possibly email their customer support to ask for the specifics.

This is what we have. We have space in the kitchen for it, so the extra size isn't an issue. It's just 2 of us at home right now. I was trying not to use the regular oven because we've had 100*+ days and need to reduce electrical usage between 11-7. I love being able to use an oven that doesn't heat up the house. I've had it since just after Mother's Day and usually use just the air fryer, though I've also baked cookies in it.
Does the interior of this model of the breville have a coating? If so, could you let me know what material it is made of? I am unable to get this information in all my googling and zooming into pictures of it. Thank you!

Two things to be aware of:
- as already stated in this thread, imbalance of the gut bacteria with the good probiotic bacteria being overtaken by other microbes (yeast). This can happen even if you don't take any antibiotics, just a high level of stress is enough to trigger it.
- mistaking thirst for sugar cravings, also happens if you are dehydrated. The brain does not easily distinguish between the two. Try drinking a glass of water when you have sugar cravings to see if it helps.

Oh yeah it takes longer than white rice — I was mistaken upthread.
OP, this video may be better - specific to brown rice:
I always hear conflicting advice on rinsing rice (do it, don’t do it. Keep the starch, remove the starch).
Brown rice has higher quantities of arsenic than the white rice because the bran and outer coating harbors most of it. So, especially with brown rice, you are better off soaking, discarding the soaked water and rinsing several times before cooking.

Soak the brown rice and beans overnight, separately. Drain the soaking water, wash thoroughly and cook both of them separately with fresh water. Soaking the brown rice makes it cook faster, otherwise it takes a very long time to cook.
Do you own an Instant Pot?

We have read some Jules Verne. I read Around the World in 80 Days and the boys have read 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. I was considering The Mysterious Island as an assigned book or read aloud possibly.
Sorry didn’t notice that you said you already read Verne!

In middle school years, we read aloud a lot of Jules Verne books. I was intentionally looking for books that were easier to read, so not sure if you would like them for high school age.

Is there a way to access the raw scores of the AP exams? Thanks!

I threw a party when my son was that age and most moms went for the strawberries and a date/seeds/coconut roll I had made. I had gotten a couple of large gourmet pizzas just in case for the adults, but only few people ate them.

Do y'all feel as though people are being more transparent about their illness at this point? Still feel like people being secretive about it.
Maybe I just think they should be more transparent so we could be more able to try to protect ourselves. I guess people didn't advertise getting the flu or strep in the past. Or did they?
A lot of people around me, who are normally very cautious, went for Summer Vacations, family reunions, graduations etc and gave up masking because of the hot weather outdoors and got Covid. There is liberal work-from-home policy here and all of them openly say that they have Covid and are staying home for a couple of weeks. In fact, I was able to direct a couple of them to get Paxlovid as soon as I heard about it, thanks to the information on this forum. Most of them did not know about the existence of this drug and that certain preexisting conditions makes them eligible for treatment.

I have taken root suckers from olive trees and roses and grown them successfully. Take the root sucker by digging out as much of the roots that you can, wrap the roots in wet paper towels and enclose the root part inside a plastic bag or ziplock bag. 6-12 inch long suckers will do. Take a few of them. Don’t let the paper towels dry out. Don’t let the plants be exposed to the heat. If you can get rooting hormone from a nursery, rinse the roots and apply as per instructions. Pot in a 4 inch container with loose, well draining potting soil and water regularly. When you see new growth, you can move it to the sunlight.

I just learned that the shaky cheese lids fit on mason jars. The minced garlic lids do too.
What brand of shaky cheese and minced garlic? I am an avid lid recycler too and did not know this!

This is brilliant and I am going to do this for our extended road trip later this summer!
When you make the smoothies for the road trip, I suggest using coconut milk instead of dairy products to avoid separation after a few hours. I find that the consistency is best with it. If you cannot have coconut milk, other plant based milks like oat, almond, soy etc also don't separate in the smoothie after a few hours, though it is no big deal and you could shake the bottle vigorously if that happens!
Avoid spinach, kale, bananas and apples as they become brown with oxidation. Use all frozen fruit and veggies for best effect. If you are fancy, you could buy smoothie lids for your mason jars 🙂

Burritos! I customize them as per each person's preference and they can be made as large or as small as needed.
I make smoothies with frozen fruit and put them in individual mason jars and inside a cooler to have with the main meal and they stay fresh and cold for 5-6 hours if you ensure that you don't add fruit or veggies that oxidize with exposure. Our favorites are combos of orange/mango/acai berry/carrot/blueberry/strawberry.

throwing up, diarrhea, headaches, soreness and the like.
Others have suggested good options to look into. In addition, for the above, it could be due to bad gut bacteria overtaking the probiotic bacteria in her body. She could intentionally add naturally fermented foods with probiotics and a commercial probiotic supplement to her diet for a few months to see if they make these symptoms manageable.

Going off my mom's request to hire my dds, how much would you pay or expect to be paid? My mom wants everything dusted and done so in a very specific way - different cleaners for different pieces of furniture; plants get dusted, etc. Hand wash all floors, vacuum out kitchen drawers/cabinets, clean out fridge, wash windows, clean upholstery, etc. And if there is anything like a mark on the wall from a vacuum then she would expect the wall to be repainted (not the one spot fixed - the entire wall redone).
And you can't walk on the rugs.
My mom said she is appalled at the $30/hour rate she's been quoted.$1 million? I would not personally do that job for anything lesser! All kidding aside, your DD’s should find other jobs to do elsewhere. They will be attacked no matter how well they do the job. Just let your mom hire a professional cleaning service.

I do not. But since I watch way too many food competition and cooking shows, my first thought was to see what Marcus Samuelsson might do: https://marcussamuelsson.com/recipe/berbere-spice-blends
Thanks! I am going to make a superset of the 2 recipes, add dried basil to it as @Rosie_0801 remembers from her recipe book and see how it goes. It sounds delicious already!

needing to change the heaviest pad I could find every hour or 2 for a couple of days. Leaking everywhere. I didn't go far from home those days and always had a change of pants off I did.
I have been living through this for a few years now. I wear black pants for these occasions because of how I am at the mercy of my periods. I only buy the overnight pads because they are the safest to wear and I too carry a change of clothes and plan my trips outside to be less than one hour long and totally avoid going out if possible in those times.
OP, I am told that perimenopause symptoms are wide ranging and that they could change from year to year as well.

No! I cannot find my recipe anywhere!
But I remember it had dried basil in it, which was absolutely delish. So I recommend doing that.Thanks, I have a lot of dry basil and love the taste.
I found a berbere recipe by googling. Do you think that this one looks similar to your recipe? I could add dry basil to this recipe and see how it tastes!
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/236741/berbere-ethiopian-spice/
Another question: the “chili” powder in this recipe is something like plain cayenne powder, right? Because in the US, “chili” powder is colloquially a spice blend rather than plain red pepper powder.

My teen has been using a salicylic acid cleaner so far. I would like to try the milk cleanser option. Do you make it at home or is there a brand name that I should look for? Thank you!
