IHOP's doing tacos?

Why do you need gloves and long sleeves, Larry, do they have thorns or prickles of some kind?


Beautiful blossom, Larry, is that an okra blossom?

@h2oratt , sorry you're sick and hope you're better soon. Are you going to get the Paxlovid?

My Kid is mildly autistic and getting him to eat good food was like pulling teeth! He went off to a Seventh-day Adventist academy three years ago where all the meals are vegetarian and ... it's a miracle! The boy will now eat anything I put in front of him without a murmur or grumble of any kind! Apparently there are two options at every meal: eat it or don't.

I called my dr but he isn’t in. They won’t prescribe it unless I do a video chat. I will get it tomorrow

If it is sugar free

If it is sugar free

They can now be made sugar free with plant based 0 calorie sweetener.

Now?

I wish but no. Okra loves heat and humidity. It starts to slack off once the daytime temps fall below 80. Night temps in the 50's will put it in a tail spin. Now in FL it can have an early cool spell and then warm up and people have mowed over it and it will come back and bear a lot more. Some years down where is was raised some years we didn't get a single frost. Some just one or two.

I went down the baking aisle in a grocery store and the sugar substitutes have grown in kinds made from plants that have so sugar calories but are sweet. They are not cheap. I'm going to try growing stevia this coming year so we can make our own 0 cal sweetener. What I know about stevia is that it works better in cold treats that it does in they cooked or heated. Those need Splenda or something else. More research needed on our part.

I wonder how difficult it is to manufacture crystallized truvia product from the stevia plant .... and how much plant matter it takes to produce, say, a pound of finished product. I'm betting it's not something the average Joe can do in his backyard or kitchen with standard kitchen tools and equipment .

Going to find out. It's been used by indigenous people for sweetener for a long time. Maybe not the crystalized but in our climate where it can grow for a long time we may can produce all we need. I won't know until we have enough plants to process some and then will now what the scale of plants needed per pound of product. I won't give up without trying.
