I will check out the widget. :) Hans - Your website looks great! I look forward to reading it more. I really want to read Know Your Fats, but it is quite expensive, so I've held off so far. Janice - the taste of the coconut oil bothered me sometimes too. I basically had to try different brands to find one that didn't bother me. It was weird because I like coconut taste, but coconut taste in the oil really bothered me! I think I settled on a more refined coconut oil for the drinking. I know it isn't ideal, but I figured it wouldn't be that bad either, and better for me to take that than nothing at all! So maybe try playing around with different brands? Also, I tried it in tea or plain water, and have found it is best in plain water that is warmer than lukewarm but not quite hot. So try out different temps or herbal teas and find if there is something that makes it more palatable. Good luck! Kimberly – thanks for the repost! I will check out the widget. :)

I was wondering if you had any recommendations or suggestions for the coconut oil she recommends taking 20 minutes before meals. I have a very hard time tolerating the taste and consistency. I need to lose about 65 or so pounds and I want to do it naturally with drugs or quick fix gimmicks. I believe this diet will work for me for long term results I just have to get over this hump. Thanks for any help you can give! I have really enjoyed this book myself and I too love to cook.

Being more scientific oriented I prefer Mary's Know Your Fats. Btw, I put a short YouTube http://bit.ly/ar6JLe on our side in which I question the role of those "healthy" poly-unsaturated fats.

]]> Comment on Asthma no more by Paul http://www.completelyedible.com/2010/03/asthma-no-more/comment-page-1/#comment-3299 Paul Sat, 03 Apr 2010 21:54:28 +0000 http://www.completelyedible.com/?p=518#comment-3299 Glad its working for you Stacy. I drank lots of raw milk as a child but only in the summer. From when I was first drinking milk on my own until I was 17 I drank raw milk from June through August every year. I have never had the least bit of an asthma symptom. Don't know if it is related or not. I do know the taste of the raw milk was much better than store bought homogenised. And since I was the skinny runt among all my cousins, they always poured me the first glass of milk from the big gallon pitcher without stirring, thus giving me a 12 oz glass of pure cream.

]]> Comment on Ground Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff by Barbara http://www.completelyedible.com/2009/06/ground-beef-and-mushroom-stroganoff/comment-page-1/#comment-3176 Barbara Tue, 23 Mar 2010 21:59:59 +0000 http://www.completelyedible.com/?p=360#comment-3176 Thank you for this recipe. Like yourself, I am not opposed to incorporating wholesome beef like you have mention into my food. I am more concerned about feeding my family whole foods, without the addition of extraneous stuff like cream of mushroom soup and other processed ingredients, which is common in stroganoff or casserole recipes. Thanks for your fresh take! Thank you for this recipe. Like yourself, I am not opposed to incorporating wholesome beef like you have mention into my food.

I'm wondering if it was because we had some warmer than normal days - but it wasnt that warm - 82 F. Any ideas? Do the grains just get more hungry sometimes for some reason and eat up all the sugar? or... just occurred to me - for a couple of batches i used some organic trade aid sugar - its pale brown but looks pretty refined. maybe too refined?
