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!!!
