Re: If you are still speaking to mescarletdragonApril 12 2008, 14:48:33 UTC
Still speaking to ya, I've just been busy as usual.
We all are set in our ways on different stuff. Some of us are just more A-type on some issues than others.
I think somea few of your saracens have it in for Bromhir/Clover One of them was badmouthing Bromhir in front of Clover at spring war, not even knowing who she was. So I'd take anything they bitch about her with a grain of salt.
I also have problems on diets where I don't get enough, I used to almost black out durring the afternoon when I tried the south beach one, this is bad when one is still at work...
We have pretty much stopped with the red meat (Lamb is ok though because its less likely to be fooled with hormones), stuff with processed wheat, sugar, or white rice. We eat all the veggies we can stand, lots of brocoli and other goodies. Tilapia has been crossing our dinner plate alot more also. We do Granola's with Silk or Low-fat Goats milk for breakfast usually. And I can have all the raw sunflower and pumpkin seeds, granola, sprouts, and veggies I can stand as snacks to keep my energy up. Sprouts are fantastic for energy. We can eat all the beans we can stand as well. I've also stopped my intake of cheese for now (except for feta), its one of the things I miss most. Apparently cows milk can be very stressful and mucus causing (duh) so for our 2 month initial period I'm going to be mostly avoiding it. Its sad Goats milk products are so much more expensive...
I had to slowly get used to the soy, I tended to get painful gas when I started eating it in bulk, but I seem to be adjusting to it now. Miso soup is awesome to make fresh and is another good energy boost you can make in a coffee cup at work. I've stopped Coffee infavor of 1-2 cups of a caffeinated tea in the morning at work followed by either horsetail or nettle tea (tastes to me kinda like green tea mixed with how a cut lawn smells).
I've also started taking L-Tyrosine 2-3 times a day that is supposed to help with stress and adrenal functions if I remember rightly. (stress tends to stick fat right on the belly and thighs.) I've been abit more consistant trying to get more vitamins in my system as apparently lack of certain things can help contribute to some of the issues like no energy in the afternoon, or not digesting correctly etc.
Speaking of digestion, this diet focusses alot on chewing food properly, and getting supplements like folic acid and probiotics if you aren't digesting efficiently. Getting off the red meats, heavy processed wheat and rice has pretty much gotten rid of constipation. I suspect the Oats in the granola are doing a good job of scrubbing things out.

You are in a city... to cut costs cut out the middle man... call your county extension agent ask for addresses or phone numbers of milk goat farms...(tell him you are "interested in how they run"). Hit your health food stores and see if they have fresh from the goat suppliers...
Some areas have a law against selling milk without pasteurization... the way most farmers get around it is to lease a percentage of the (cow or) goat to a person. The Lease holder then owns a percentage of the milk production of that animal in co-operation with the person who has the animal without having to board, feed or milk the animal. The farmer has an outlet for Fresh RAW milk and some "in hand" cash. If you like goat milk, see if you can make contact with a *primary supplier*. Family story: I have cousins who were (and are) cow milk allergic... all but one were raised on goat milk. The other was on mare's milk till he was two then went to goat milk. They leased goats & did board,feeding & milk... & in time breeding & showing...but that is another story. They lived on the edge of town where up to 8 goats was no never mind...The people who they leased from taught them what they needed to know about goat keeping... They made yogurt, cheese, and some of the best puddings and ice cream in the world.

If Frank and I had land... I'd have some goats...
Best Groundskeepers and milk producers for the land type we have in Texas.
I did a whole report on Goat husbandry for my 7th grade science report. I was almost as goat obsessed as I was horse as a kid. (Since goats make great stable/field buddies for horses)
