The reason I'm sat here now reading your blog is that I'm drenched in sweat.<br /><br />The reason for that is, I put off doing the spring cleaning for a few reasons, then we had plumbers in so I also have to go round vacuuming up plumber droppings. In midsummer. I'm also doing a bunch of other decluttering, recabling etc. but slowly.<br /><br />Could do with some Co-Q10 for the house (and garden)<br /><br />Like a lot of things I've trialled it and found little difference in my test restults or how I feel with or without it, which suggests I'm getting enough in my diet. Fish, shellfish, grass fed meat check! Next week I'll buy some liver and eat it with fava beans and a fine chianti. No actually with bacon and runner beans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-80288545372343117702008-11-05T17:38:00.000-08:002008-11-05T17:38:00.000-08:00Hi Anna,WOOW!!

So we ate around the corner from our hotel at Farm & Fish in the Mark Twain Hotel, which was pretty good (featuring local & seasonal cuisine). I had pork cheeks & house-pickled veggies (not lacto-fermented, though).<BR/><BR/>I also was able to make a quick stop at The Fatted Calf Charcuterie in Napa en route to our friends in Mendocino. I purchased a few ounces each of pork & duck rillettes (as well as rabbit terrine), which was rather fun as I had just read about rillettes for the first time this week in the Fat: An Appreciation for a Misunderstood Ingredient book. It was like being a kid in a candy store, a bit overwhelming with foods I usually only read about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-13076260921063406612008-11-04T16:10:00.000-08:002008-11-04T16:10:00.000-08:00Cynthia/David,The Bay Area sure is great isn't it?...Cynthia/David,<BR/><BR/>The Bay Area sure is great isn't it??<BR/><BR/>I haven't read the book yet so I'm sorry I can't comment. But since I'm Chinese and have grandparents on 3 sides who have lived a 'rural' existence, I can attest that they ate small portions of fish and meats at nearly every meal. Chinese are not wasteful and so I imagine that the pigs that my grandparents raised were eaten in their entirety. After they moved and lived with us in California, they often served pigs' feet, ears, tongue, etc!! You name it... we probably ate it!<BR/><BR/>Delish... And extremely nutritious. The only time I had calve brain (a delicacy in Europe and France) was when my maternal grandmother prepared it. Not bad -- very creamy. She also used to 'forage' in our neighbors' yards picking these 'weeds' (they were actually a special type of chirvelly vegetable and made these awesome rice flour/pork dumplings with them. (She also saved our urine to water her garden and vegs! My kids get a kick out of that story!)<BR/><BR/>-GDr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-11414870983603312402008-11-04T14:12:00.000-08:002008-11-04T14:12:00.000-08:00I second Anna's comment about the traditional meat...I second Anna's comment about the traditional meats. We visited our local Chinese market (Mountain View Market in Mountain View,CA) and noticed the amazing variety of meats available. There was the usual butcher shop cuts and live and sashimi grade fish, but also liver, kidney, tongue, snouts, innard bits I didn't even recognize, tripe... We bought some beef liver, goat and duck to try. They have a huge amount of vegetables and ethnic seasonings too. I don't know where people get the idea that the Chinese eat rice and vegetables without meat (The China Story). Maybe if you're eating the nutrient dense organ meats, you don't need as much, but it's clearly a big part of their culture.Drs.

We walked through Chinatown in the late afternoon as crowds gathered to shop for dinner; it was interesting to note many of the restaurants along Stockton St (the "food market" street) offered lots of traditional foods on the menu, such as offal and preserved vegetables, things one doesn't see in the typical "Americanized" Asian restaurants. The fish markets were great, too, with live fish and huge live frogs in buckets under the tables out front. Can't get any fresher than alive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-40999113241937255062008-11-02T22:00:00.000-08:002008-11-02T22:00:00.000-08:00Carotenoids (lutein, astaxanthin -- many exist and...Carotenoids (lutein, astaxanthin -- many exist and we've only identified a few), Taurine, Citrulline and other essential amino acids... <BR/><BR/>I ate offal growing up (not a lot) but it was quite delicious. We'd marinate gizzards, liver, and tiny chicken hearts in honey, soy sauce and rice wine then bake for a little while. Much better than cookies...!! Hhhmmm... Kidneys -- like them too -- esp sauteed with ginger. Never tried the adrenal glands though -- I think my mom would cut them clean but don't recall. <BR/><BR/>Have you been to dim sum? Cantonese restaurants where carts of delicious 'offal' like tripe, chicken's feet, blood pudding (cubed) and goodies like shrimp dumplings are wheeled to your table?<BR/><BR/>-GDr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-17789003876365321732008-11-02T21:16:00.000-08:002008-11-02T21:16:00.000-08:00Yet another nutrient that we can make, but not qui...Yet another nutrient that we can make, but not quite well enough.
