Durgan, why weak coffee? Surely green tea, no caffeine, would be a healthier choice. Or, better yet, hot water.

http://www.durgan.org/URL/?PABYN 18 November 2014 Cavena Nuda,Cavena oat groats.
While trying to find raw oat grains, some information was found about the various oats sold for human consumption.There is only one type oat available in raw form and this is a relatively recently developed grain.I bought some today from a bulk barn store, for use in making tortillas and gruel or porridge.
A new type of oat kernel or groat.
Cavena Nuda is a brand new form of oats that’s hull-less, gluten free, high in protein & iron & cooks up just like brown rice. Now you can get all the health benefits of oats in a grain that you can use as you would rice in recipes. It was developed by Agriculture Canada, and for now it’s only available in Canada. It was developed without a hull (NAKED), so the oats don’t have to be shipped off somewhere to remove the hull–a necessary process to prevent spoilage & rancidity. It is also 25% higher in protein than regular oats-twice the iron, & 20% more fiber.

This is the treatment for typical oats.Hulls are removed from oats, leaving an oat groat. Oat groats are high in fat, so once the hull is removed, an oat groat will go rancid within a few days. Therefore, all oat groats for human consumption are hulled, then “stabilized” (heated to 200 degrees for an hour or more to stabilize enzyme action). As a result oat groats won’t sprout and aren’t raw. Steel cut oats and Scottish oats are cut after the heating process. To produce rolled oats, stabilized oats are steamed then rolled. A number of oat producers were contacted in Canada and the US, and they confirmed the above.

I seldom drink coffee or any other common beverage. Juice and water is my normal drink. But socially I consume coffee, tea etc but prefer nothing.

The peas are frozen, from Canada. I cook them and keep in the refrigerator. Sometime I make humus using chick peas.
Variety, variety, variety. Anything but bacon and eggs and toast.

We eat healthy all week so we can overindulge on Sunday mornings. This morning it's a couple crisp strips of bacon, 2 eggs over easy, a sliced Roma tomato and a toasted Costco Ciabata bun, all washed down with V8 juice. Mmmmmm... good.

The friends I stay with at Bobcaygeon make Natto with soy beans. Yucky looking stuff. It might be healthy, but it is not going to pass my lips.

Take care,
Pat

Natto, supposedly nutritional, is an acquired taste . There are more acceptable ways of ingesting soy beans. Even most Japanese don't eat Natto. I learned how to make it at home, but found I didn't enjoy it on a daily basis. I was told in Japan that it was impossible to make at home. Usually it is impossible to choke it down most people.


http://www.durgan.org/URL/?JMBVG 4 November 2012 Natto
A simple method of making Natto, fermented soil beans, which are supposed to have beneficial nutritional effects. Eating is an acquired experience.

Soy beans are washed, boiled for about 15 minutes, rinsed, then pressure cooked at 15 PSI for an hour. The beans must be thoroughly cooked and quite soft, when squashed between thumb and forefinger.Soy beans always retain their shape after cooking. The water in the pressure cooker does not touch the beans, meaning they are steam cooked.Ingredients are 200 ml of water, one tablespoon of molasses, one eight teaspoon of non-iodized salt, one mg of natto spores.Mixing temperature should be from 40C to max of 60C. All utensils used should be sterilized with boiling water to protect the spores from contamination.The pressure cooked beans are placed on a tray about two levels deep and the ingredients are poured onto the beans and mixed thoroughly. The tray is covered with clear wrap and air holes made in the surface. The tray is then placed in an incubator set at 40C for 24 hours. The beans are ready when there is a spider web type of sticky white mesh permeating the mixture.The finished product is kept in the refrigerator for about a week. Aging is touted to improve flavour.

The incubator is a common picnic thermo box with a heating pad placed on a raised platform in the bottom. The heating pad keeps the temperature at 40C with no difficulty.The heating pad is available at pharmacies.A pad or towel is placed under the bean tray to prevent hot spots on the bottom.

We normally splurge on Sunday mornings, also, with bacon and eggs, & hash browns at the local cafe with friends.
Not this morning, though. It was a beautiful autumn day so I opted to start cleaning up my garden. We will have an
egg and tomato sandwich for lunch, at home.
