Digestion out takes fromJokes & Funnies

Rennies for pudding, yum!

From the bloke that’s eaten so badly today he had to excuse himself twice from a meeting to go out and fart.

I find the mix of oil and vinegar gives me no heartburn at all. Indeed it's a relief from it. The sauerkraut too. I don't take antacids because they gum up my throat, and my gut. I think the vinegar tricks the stomach into thinking that there's enough acid anyway, so it doesn't produce any more.

Seems to work

Cider vinegar is supposed to help a lot. I find sauerkraut helps too, and kimchi when I can get it.
Tried my hand at making kimchi last week with my new fermenting jar....disaster! Discovered today, It's gone very wrong!
I'm having a great week so far, and it's only Wednesday!

How on Earth did it go wrong ?

Wee Japanese grannies make the stuff in polybags laid out in fish crates

Have you tried the canned coleslaw ? It's very good, very tasty, and it keeps for ages in the jars. An easy way to use up the glut in the garden.

To be honest, apart from the sourdough bread Kev mentioned, the rest of it is good for digestion. It’s just I had a lovely freshly made pizza for my lunch yesterday, not something I’d usually eat in the middle of the day, and suffered terrible gas. I think it’s the dough.

On the plus, I’ve found a coconut kefir that I thought I’d hate, but it’s lovely and on offer in Sainsburys at £2 a 500ml bottle.

It was a good excuse for me to learn how to shift stuff out of threads

Sounds like you might benefit from a gluten free diet for a little while. It's not a lot of fun, but if the break lets everything settle down, then it's worth while.

I can't drink milk, even kefir makes me nauseous, but Himself likes it. The problem is the blasted kefir grains breed, and I have so much stashed in the freezer that it's time to just dump it into the compost bins. I've passed it along as much as possible, but it just keeps growing.

It's blooming expensive to buy ready made, but it's easy to do at home. If you want some of the 'grains', I'll post if you like ?

I just put them into a tumbler and fill it up with fresh milk. It's supposed to need oxygen, but I just cover mine up and leave the tumbler sitting beside the kitchen sink. Couple of days and it's thick and gloopy. I keep a seperate plastic sieve and spatula for this but I just sieve it through into a jug, rescue the grains and put them back into the washed out glass. Fill it back up with milk.....rinse and repeat kind of thing.
Himself doesn't want it every day, so this works for us, but it's easy to do it in a fridge jug and keep it there and then it's always at hand. You get an awful lot of kefir though.

Very simple to flavour. Stir through mango juice for instance, or coconut milk, or cocoa powder. Mashed strawberries work too

I was hurrying and I forgot to put the weight on it to keep it under the liquid, went all mouldy. Duh!
Still, will have another try at the weekend.

It doesn't need to be expensive. My favourite is in Tesco, it's Polish Kefir (Mlekovita) and about £1.45 per litre

 

[Nice65]

Kind of you M, it’s not something I drink daily but I do like occasionally. I’d love to produce my own but I’m not really in a place where I’m able to look after the stuff at the moment.

When you're settled again, let me know, I'm pretty sure there'll be some ready to post

That is really cheap, but 2.3l of milk is only £1.65, so kind of half that.
Lack of any fuss buying it ready made though.

Something gave me indigestion this morning.

Stage?

Well... I buy my milk from a local dairy but the pint bottle costs me £0.95 :oops:
3 pints delivered per week. My choice to support local rather than a supermarket of course; But they don't do their own kefir (I hate to think how much that would cost me :ROFLMAO

Our milk is sourced from a farmer who went to school with me Himself sometimes meets him in the fields with the cows when out on his walk.

Tbh I think the supermarkets have the farmers over a barrel and really ought to be giving them more. If the farmer sold his own directly to the public I'd buy it from him.

That's pretty ideal, to have that sort of long relationship. My grandmother had that when I went to the farm and came back with the milk in a churn, in her week-end country house. We also have that in Charente Maritime (family house), with many fishermen and oyster farmers, and a few land farmers. None with a herd though.

Maybe ....

We’ve got one of those milk things down the road, where you can take your own bottles to be filled. I’ll find out the prices, it’s something we should be supporting.

He's a really nice guy. All he ever wanted was to farm, so he worked after school to save up enough to buy a field, then another....and now his 'farm' is fields spread out round the villages
He says his sons can't afford to farm. It just not financially viable :sigh:
