If you are freezing the chicken first, do you brine the chicken before or after it is put in the freezer?

Comment on Mother-Ease Cloth Diapers by steph

Love Mother-Ease! They are by far my favorite cloth diapers so far. I have tried all the biggies… GroVia, Flip, Thirsties, Bummis… and they are super absorbant and hold in messes better than any diaper out there!

Comment on Non-Irradiated Spices by Laura

Laura — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 15:00:18 +0000

In the United States, herbs and spices that are irradiated must be labeled as irradiated on the packaging. Those which are part of pre-prepared foods (rice mixes, peppered salami, etc.) do not have to be labeled and that is where most of the irradiated spices and herbs in the US are used. Because (thankfully) of the bad reputation of irradiation, most consumers do not want irradiated products and thus companies avoid practices which would require such labeling. Instead, other processes are used to sterilize the products; for example, McCormick uses intense steam to do the trick. However, finding spices and dried herbs that are completely untreated is unlikely in our society, unless you do grow them yourself.

The only thing I have been unsuccessful with has been dried hawthorn berries. It’s like trying to grind BBs, lol. Oh well…

Marty, split chickpeas work fine! I get them in bulk really cheap at Indian food markets. :)

Comment on Baking Soda by Meg Cooper

I have found that if I let the baking soda dry on the surface then come back and scrub, it works even better. This allows the baking soda to naturally bleach the sink or surface and gives more grit to help with all the elbow grease involved!

I have the WOnder Junior deluxe model. It works great for small grains such as wheat berries.

I tried to grind Chick peas to make Chick pea flour. All I can say is this…don’t waste your time. It doesn’t work. THe chick peas are too large to go through the grinder.

The “spring” in the bottom of the grinder(the auger) simply will not allow the chick peas to go through.

I can say, I was a bit disappointed in this.

Obviously making chick pea flour can be done as one can buy it at health food stores. The Wonder Junior just can’t do it.

Overall, I am pretty pleased with the grinder as a whole. It will grind most stuff fairly well.

Hope this helps.

Hey Mercy
I finally settled for ginger tea (sliced ginger, water, boil, let sit for at least 10 minutes, add sweetner, drink) and I found a ginger beer (no alcohol obviously) from South Australia that is made with real ginger (and lots of it) that works miracles. For one, there is really not much more in there than ginger, water, sugar. Sometimes that helps better as it also provides needed sugar for the quick burn until the stomach is settled enough to actually accept food! Anyway, hope you get to feel better soon!! Ursina
