Date: June 20, 2014 02:21AM Some friends were hoping their second child would be a girl, and they even had a name picked out. The ultrasound didn't reveal the baby's sex, though, and since the expectant father had orders from the Navy to ship out before the due date, he told his wife, "We'd better pick out a boy's name, just in case." But when it was time for him to report for duty, they still hadn't decided. At sea a few weeks later, he got notification that his son, Justin Kase, had been born. buy fifa 14 coins|cheap fifa coins Re: salad dressings

------------------------------------------------------- > looking for simple ( few ingredients) salad > dressings > but no oil ( nuts okay though) Hi Veronique, I'm curious why no oil? I've noticed in several comments that some rawfooders are not in favour of oil, apparently not even cold press olive oil. Some many years ago when I was in Vancouver at a five-day vegan symposium, there was a doctor lecturing on the adverse issues surrounding trans fats. My wife thought I should speak with him because, in her opinion, I was consuming too much olive oil. And so I did. He asked how much I was consuming and, at that time, I was going through a liter a week. His comment was that I was likely doing myself a favour because olive oil has the reputation of keeping the internal organs quite supple. That sounded good to me and so I continue to eat cold press olive oil though not quite in such quantity. Should I rethink that? I'm curious why so many rawfooders are even against cold press olive oil. Re: salad dressings

Date: June 20, 2014 03:06AM I think some of us would prefer to avoid empty-calorie (vitamin and mineral devoid) isolated fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and eat whole foods and get fat in the form of fruits & vegetables (some more fatty than others like avocados, coconuts, and also nuts, seeds. cold -pressed or not, it's still a processed food.

That's not true, olive oil has a decent amount of vitamin E and vitamin K and lots of phytochemicals. -- Don't know if I would use this as a salad dressing but I'm thinking of making a ginger tahini sauce for sea spaghetti. Re: salad dressings

------------------------------------------------------- > jtprindl > > bust out the ginger tahini recipe > > i wanna know > > maybe i'll use it on zucchini spaghetti I haven't tried out any recipes but all I was thinking of doing is using maybe 1/4 cup of sprouted tahini with a bit of raw ginger powder and pure curcumin. Maybe a 1/4 tsp. of each. I like to keep it simple Tahini tastes good to me by itself so I'm guessing this will give it a nice subtle gingery flavor. Edited 1 time(s).

sesame cumin and ginger sound good" I mean pure curcumin as in the extracted therapeutic compound from turmeric. This is what I use: [www.longevitywarehouse.com] - 98% curcumin. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/20/2014 12:42PM by jtprindl. Re: salad dressings

Date: June 21, 2014 08:48PM I'm not referring to cumin lol, it's curcumin, the medicinal compound from the Indian spice, turmeric. It's cold water extracted. Personally, I wouldn't even use a blender, I would just pour tahini in a small bowl, add ginger and curcumin, and stir until its mixed well. Re: salad dressings

Date: June 24, 2014 02:45PM Thanks Utopian Life, jtprindl and La_veronique. I realize this thread isn't about the virtues, or lack thereof, of olive oil so I'll just say thanks but your responses answer my question.
I hadn't realized that there is a limited array of nutrients in olive oil though, as jtprindl points out, it isn't completely devoid of valuable nutrition but it is a fairly narrow band. Good to know. Re: salad dressings

Date: July 03, 2014 11:23PM Are salad dressings found wild in nature?
lol, just giving some raw food dogma thoughts. I knew a guy who went to the raw vegan farmers market in Coconut Grove, bought a head of romaine or whatever just poured hemp nuts on it and ate it like that. Re: salad dressings

So he wants an extract. However, the antioxidants in the color, the synergy of everything in turmeric root seems to be against that practice. Maybe therapeutically, I suppose, but you are looking for a salad dressing. Re: salad dressings

I bet 1-2 teaspoons of pure curcumin would be more potent than 2 tablespoons of turmeric. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 07/04/2014 03:04PM by jtprindl. Re: salad dressings

Date: July 09, 2014 10:50PM Its so funny how we need recipes to make something. I still do too. Are we that out of touch with ourselves and our senses, we cannot imagine taste combos in our own mind?
There has to be a simple formula. Like for marinating its anything with fat and sour tastes, some salt tastes. I love me a TAHINI DRESSING. I love it, for many many years now. I cannot quite ever get it right like the dressing I loved back in 2004 working at Glaser organics. Like their raw vegan salad dressing, amazing! Re: salad dressings

Date: August 31, 2014 01:14AM It took me like 10 years to understand raw vegan recipes. I have never had that taste modality, for me I am all about visual sense. So yes It is hard. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
