Detoxing

[juliet]

Discovered this morning that green tea with peppermint is rather nice. Which is a legitimate thing to drink (a couple of cups a day) on this detoxing thing. Have also discovered that Twinings do a mixed pack of various herbal teas, so I shall try buying that & see what I like.

Other good discovery: I can eat as much as I like in the way of seeds. So I have been happily gromphing a nice mix of roasted pumpkin/hemp/linseed/sesame seeds, flavoured with a little fennel & cumin seed, rosemary, sage, & a splash of soy sauce. Mmm.

In other news: spent yesterday evening over at kitty_goth's, which was of course v fine. And Monday evening saw Mark Thomas, who was also good. Although a bit less *angry* than on his TV shows. What we saw was basically him warming up for, & trying things out for, the TV shows, so I guess that's not surprising. In case anyone didn't already know: boycott Coca Cola.

TEA

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Yesbut it is not as good as GREEN JASMINE TEA or indeed WHITE TEA, which is like green tea but plus plus! I am slightly disturbed at my sudden pro-poncey tea leanings but yum yum they = super tasty, mark my words.

And as for seeds yes they are good for detox but not good for my bluddy pennies - 3.55 for a tub down Planet Organic? I think they can kiss my bottom.

Irn Bru is better than Coca Cola anyway.

Coke is the drink of the deathsquads.

I have a theory that Mark Thomas is zotz's long-lost twin. Or possibly that they're the same person. I've never seen them together!

Aha! You see, the *cheap* way to do roasted seeds is as follows:

• Read back of "Positively Healthy" fennel & caraway mix tub to discover ingredients.
  
• Buy packets of raw sunflower, pumpkin, hemp, linseed, & sesame seeds. Also acquire fennel seed, caraway seed[0], cumin seed[1], rosemary & sage[2], & soy sauce[2], for seasoning.
  
• Get a nice big frying pan. Heat it up (no oil required). Chuck in the above - mostly sunflower & pumpkin, only a pinch of the seasoning-things. Roast for a bit, stirring around constantly, until things start going "pop" all over the place (a couple of min). Note: stand well back.
  
• Take pan off heat. Chuck in a hefty-ish splash of soy sauce. Stir around madly before it congeals entirely.
  
• Leave to cool. Decant into pot. Gromph.

This I think works out somewhere around a fiver for probably 3 or so pots' worth.

[0] Actually I have never bothered with this.
[1] Also good for curries & other stuff.
[2] All things you may well have already. I do, anyway.

It's OK, they're healthy! Omega-3 & omega-6 fatty acids, & all that.

mmm. I must make more tonight, I have nearly finished the tub I made up on Monday night.

I'm glad there are genuine reasons to boycott Coke.

It means I can seem more righteous in my own boycott (which is still ongoing, btw), which admittedly is down to the rather petty reason of them butchering "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" on their latest advert...

Hello - got the mouth ulcer stuff you wanted from the US. See you Saturday :)

now i'm annoyed

[the23.livejournal.com]

after initially being heartened to hear that coca cola have apparently been using their billions to off trade union leaders (a more disreputable category is hard to find - i did once meet ron todd though), i am now dismayed because having given up caffeine for lent i am now unable to celebrate with a two litre bottle of coca cola (which can often be found in these parts for around 55p).

I did, and still do, find it wierd that various people who are all totally anti-multinational-evil-corporations still go around drinking Coca Cola and smoking cigarettes.
