It is called Ancestral Supplements. We are taking Beef Organs. Since my brother did not have any side effects starting with 6, DS and I took 3 for breakfast and just took 3 more. I saw my brother last night and asked if the pain in his neck was still gone. He said he feels a little pain when lifting something heavy but he said for weeks he has been taking CBD oil to work and having to use it for pain during the day and he has not been doing that, so he is giving credit to the Beef Organs. Only thing I have noticed just the little I took has been that I am getting rid of a lot of fluid. I am not sure if it is the Beef Organs or just a coincidence.

I'm having my "apple a day" and thinking of it as seasonal nutrition. We bought some mandarin oranges yesterday, recognizing that it is the season of the citrus in warmer climes. Already having some full size oranges in the 3 baskets of fruit on the kitchen table which also includes persimmons and, yes, bananas.

This is the way that DW likes to eat and I'm not one to complain. I've had my fruit and will now move on to some cream of wheat. Not much! That was a big apple.

Thinking of seasons but also remembering a dear friend of my grandmother Goldie. She outlived Grandma and I had a good opportunity to know her when she visited and when I visited Vancouver where she lived only a few miles from Grandma's niece and her family.

I was also thinking and reading a little about the Midlands in the UK. Did a "few miles of driving" on Google Streetview ;). Somewhat, that was prompted by trying to learn about the origin of the word Trent. This is the name of a somewhat important street/highway in my neighborhood and the naming of that roadway is something of a mystery to local historians. I may have come up with a glimmering of a clue.

Grandma's friend was from Derby, in the Midlands so reading a little about the history of that city ... then, I come on TEG and read what @Decoy1 writes about runner beans from Lincolnshire :). I bet he knows where Derby is and the River Trent not that many miles further ;).

@digitS' are you talking about the instant version of the cream of wheat or the original version which takes a while longer to cook?

i had some of the instant version the other day and could skip eating that again other than if i were near starving. not that it tasted bad, because bland foods don't usually bother me that much, but the texture was a bit off. i'll stick to oatmeal... :)

It's not the instant, @flowerbug .

Not the whole grain either. Quick stovetop and I'm a little surprised that DW prefers it to whole grain since we almost never buy white bread and she goes for "old fashioned" oatmeal as a standard rule.

right, old fashioned or even the thick rolled or steel cut types of oats are what i like the best. something with a bit of texture.

My seasonal fruit now is persimmons, they peak in October-November. Asian pears peak around the same time; but they are scarce, expensive, and only the lower grade (if any) can be found here. I have fond memories of splitting cantaloupe-sized pears with friends during a visit to Korea in the 90's, when those pears were virtually unknown in the States. We used to make an annual pilgrimage to Chicago about this time every year, to buy pears & persimmons by the case. The cost of gas, and rising tolls, has sadly put an end to that trip. :(

Oh yeah, coffee... :hide My breakfast, more often than not, is a mocha/coffee/protein drink, with toast, kippers, and fruit. Sometimes pastry substitutes for the toast. I'm anxiously awaiting the not-yet-ripe persimmons.

Don’t understand how anyone can eat quick or instant oatmeal. IMO tastes like white paste

Coffee is about gone. It will be daylight soon and I’ll suit up in all my warm clothing to go outside to feed sheep and turn them and the dogs out.

It’s 40F with a high today of 50F and rainy. Then I’ll come back inside and be sick and miserable. Blah.

From where I sit, I can watch Sentry curl up in his favorite watching spot. The grass tufts are frost killed golden brown and his tawny brown coat blends right in. If I didn’t know he was there, I wouldn’t know he was there. Sheba is easier to spot, her belly fur is light colored and she stretches out in the sun. LOL

i don't intentionally buy them, but Mom has gotten them by accident a few times. sometimes food is just fuel, nice to have good taste and texture but not always required. a lot of them end up as fillers in meatloaf or other things.

with enough peanut butter or cocoa they're good. :)

this morning i used up some old coconut in the oatmeal, then some butter and brown sugar.

Ha! I may have thought of the peanut butter but doubt if I've ever acted on it ;). Coconut? Never!

Now the brown sugar and butter - that went into this morning's hot cereal. And, I can't finish all those Mandarin oranges that were peeled Saturday! Skins went in the dehydrator. Good thing that the meat keeps well in the fridge.

Steve, Good Morning!
