Mary Cay,

That all sounds so yummy! Remind me again what arugula is?? I'm thinking a lettuce? I had not thought about making a meatloaf! Brilliant. I use the agave nectar a lot too. If I mix it with almond flour, it tasted like peanut butter. I sometimes eat a spoon of that for a snack.

Salmon patties sound REALLY good too.

I am using swansonvitamins.com for most/all of my supplements. The only one with starch in it is the Zinc. It listed rice flour as a filler and it turned coal black on contact with iodine. The rest have been fine. A few of my vitamins are by "nature made" (Balanced B-100 and a Cal-Mag-Zinc combo) and they both tested fine. My Potassium Gluconate 595 mg is from "nature's bounty" and it is also safe. The potassium when taken on a regular basis with the Cal-Mag-Zinc really helps keep the aweful muscle spasms under control. I just finished a bottle of Neptune Krill oil, I'm not sure it helped. My regular fish oil is "spring valley" brand from walmart. I'm not sure if it is a good quality though, I'm looking forward to it running out so I can try a new kind.

Is fermenting veggies a way you get your probiotics? I haven't heard of that before. I'm with you on the freak-out over skimming mold. sick1

Thanks for all the good ideas!
