Oh, beets! LOL You said they were hard to come by, so I thought they were some kind of oriental speciality, like the Indian ginseng: ashwaghanda that i never found anywhere here in its fresh form. What is this ashwaghanda anyway? A herb, a root, seeds or nuts or beans? Whatever it is, it appears to be not imported here. Beets are however one of the most common veggies in this country. I have some fresh ones in the fridge, newly harvested ones with the leaves still on them, waiting to be turned into a traditional Dutch beet salad next Monday :-) Boiled beets sliced up and mixed with boiled potatoes. Traditionally there is haring in it. Most people use harings in viniger, but I prefer pickled harings; less additives in them. And raw onions and a slecep up apple. And salt of course. With pickled haring, some vinigar or lemonjuice has to be added. And mayonaise. I use organic mayonaise with no sugar added. There is also a variaty possible with hard boiled eggs in stead of haring. It makes a good takealong dinner to the lake. >Never come across Laos - will look out for it . . . > > :-) > > > >>cooked in coconut milk. :-) It has to be well done but not cooked too >>long and the veggies should also remain a bit crispy. >>And one should have it with pandan rice of course. >> >> > >That sound great :-) > > I often make pandan rice myself. I use ordinary brown rice from the organic store and cook it with some pandan leaves, which I buy at the Asian supermarket.

I'm not but find fresh peppers practical to work with. They stay fresh in the fridge quite long. > > >Yes the Japanese and I have come acroos 100% buckwheat ones . . . > > Oh great! Well I haven't... I've been reading the labels of all Japanese noodles at the organic store as well as at the Asian market. So... no ramen for me :( > >Never had heard of Kamut - we use spirelli quite a lot . . . > > I looked at the pack; it is called *kamut* in English too. It is really good. >I eat two day old rice cold with immunity. >It is the alcohol that gives me a headache >- had some yesterday. > >Is alcohol still 'doing you good'? > > Yup! Not when I overdo it though. I should not drink more than 2 or 3 glasses a day; preferably stick to red wine. On most days I don't exceed that, but it happens sometimes that suddenly a whole bottle is gone. LOL. And though that does not make me sick, I cannot believe it is good for me. People are different that way. When you get nothing positive out of a drug, then you usually have one thing less to be concerned about. I have that with cannabis. I did not like myself when I was stoned and it gave me a hell of a hangover. So that was a short experiment. I tried it 4 or 5 times in my life, I think. and decided that I really DON'T like it. > >It is likely that language will be linked with XML >For now it is worth familiarising with HTML >(that is web diesign) >which links in with tmxxine FreeFlow >or FreeFlow tmmxxine . . . > > > I'm sometimes reading a bit here: http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/index.html But cannot concentrate on it for long and i miss a link in picturing what I'm reading about....
