it will work, but my understanding is that because the fats are hydrogenated, they somehow don't grab the actives as well. i could be totally wrong though.

i will be attending the post rapture looting party, a good friend is leading the Baltimore chapter! who's with me? Mama needs a big screen TV!

i haven't tried it either. I do know that you can get it at the health food store. I've read that it can be added to kava kava mixtures for essentially the same reason. going that far, mustard is a great emulsifier (think vinagrettes), maybe it would work too lol

I still haven't heard from Randy! crap!

I know the company had some faulty units, but it seems to me the ones that worked worked fine. Who out there in FC land has an Ion that is still going strong? Just curious, mine is still chugging along just fine.

Crawdad, i preserve what i forage sometimes too. Wineberry preserves is the nectar of the Gods, a beautiful food if there ever were one, it positively sparkles. this chick has a show on Veria network that is all about foraging and using wild foods. she's pretty hot too, Mr. Herbgirl finds that...

crawdad, I'm glad i'm not the only one who takes scratch to the next level. it is very satisfying to provide your family with healthy, nutritious food right from the garden. sounds like you might be ready for the next step of learning to can/dry/freeze/pickle the extra food! fresh strawberry...

Nos, luckily my son is a confident and kind young man and i'm sure the 'tofu mom' stuff is kinda from my imagination, we don't even eat tofu - but still!! His friends laugh when he tells them that pop tarts are junk food. It's not that i never allow junk food, i just won't keep it in the house...

I've not seen this one, but the books Food, Inc. and Fast Food Nation really changed my way of thinking about what we eat. Having to read every. single. label. and actually know what all that crap is for my son's various food allergies for a period of time was eye opening to say the least. Not...

Goodlife, I Just looked at an email from mom that i won another of his contests too, for my brownie recipe!?! I had no idea, I'm honored! the thread was closed so i'll gush here lol. I'm still awaiting an email from Randy as well. holy crap! i never win anything!

Yeah, i quit over three years ago and this ecig is the only reason that i haven't picked up a pack with the shitstorm of business and other personal stress right now. that and the fact that they are damn near seven dollars a pack here :o They are also the reason my husband isn't chuffing down a...

sorry i didn't see your post sooner. i found my crockpot to be uneven so i don't use it for anything like that. I do use a mini crock pot lil dipper - actually a freebie with the original crock pot - to warm pga tincture, but i havent really done any glycerin based stuff in it yet. i really...

nycdeisel, I LOVE to smoke, but can't abide the side effects - all i really need is the hand to mouth thing and it's nice to be able to out with the smokers at parties and not drain a whole drink or stand there with my hands fiddling. this thing has kept me from starting smoking again. our...

neat. wonder if you could achieve the same effect with flavor (i'm thinking the flavors i got from diy flavorshack - they are food grade) color and sugar. it just takes so much to cover up the flavor, i've found it's easier to use masking flavors like mint, chocolate or peanut butter. please do...

right on Wat. I had no intent to offend. I've never even had haggis, but let's face it - it sounds really gross. come on, it's oatmeal and stomach :) but i'll take your word for it, it does sound like something for a cold day and the minimal processing is a big bonus, i agree. i have...

you can find just about any herb you cold ever want on the interwebs this is the place i order from most - tons of good info and tutorials http://www.bulkherbstore.com/ http://www.starwest-botanicals.com/ this is another good site and the one a lot of herbalists use...

pakalolo, if you have ever smelled the rankness that is Valerian root, you would agree with me. it's amazing to me that anyone even attempted to put this root in their mouth and figured out the properties eons ago. No wonder we synthesized valium out of it. it's really an amazing herb though...

i started making all kinds of herbal pills and tinctures for that reason. they are powerful! chamomile is my favorite. very relaxing as well. valerian root is great, but smells and tastes like feet dipped in ass. how did you choke it down? i always pill that stuff. kava kava is one of my...

runnershigh, i ran across this recipe and think it could be easily modified since it had nut butter in it. I haven't made these, but they sound interesting. http://www.fooducate.com/blog/2011/04/30/a-grab-n-go-breakfast-with-zero-added-sugar-and-you-will-love-it/

I'll answer this one for hubby first "Getting baked in my girlfriends bedroom, and then thirty seconds later being called downstairs by my future father inlaw to build a garage/fix a roof/ put in windows/chop wood/ dig ditches" my dad had this uncanny timing when it came to calling him (and...
