Gelatinous? That sounds very good, Sage. I don't have any fresh fruit,
but I do have frozen fruit so I am going to try it using frozen peaches.
I never thought of using flax in things other than what I already do. I
can't wait to try some of these things. We've been trying a lot of new
stuff lately, and so far, we have diversified our diet well. They say
your taste changes every 7 years...it must be true. I can't believe the
things I eat/crave...raw onions!!!! Beets!!! I've gone from craving
guacamole to craving onions!! I barely ate cooked onions before!
Yesterday, I caught myself drooling over borscht recipes...Borscht!!!
