@debbraw Its fine to each his own . I just remember seeing those fish in the crowded tanks and that turned me off. Wish I could do shrimp that's where my brother did his shrimping from the Atlantic ocean , now allergic to them

@Erinmfs- Good morning. I have recently started drinking turmeric chai tea made by Rishi. It's excellent and takes just some boiling water and 5 minutes steeping time. It's delicious. Turmeric, in order to "work" need a fat, and pepper. I'm afraid that it'll always be high in calories because of the fat. I do not add any milk, but I do add honey because the pepper can make it taste bitter. Turmeric is a green tea.

Are you interested in a healthier diet? I have also found that this helps give me energy.

@lioness, @debbraw: I can understand liking farmed salmon because it tends to have a milder taste. However you should be aware that farmed fish, especially salmon can be very toxic, no matter how careful your fishmonger is.

You sure are lucky to have fresh shrimp!

Good morning. I just came across a rice made with vegetables! It's called Right Rice. There are several flavors but I'm going to try and get the original, made with vegetables. Dave's gone shopping. The air is terrible and very very humid so I have to stay home.

@Merprep I don't do farm fish of anykind just fresh from Alaska. I have seen those fish so crowded in the farm tanks and that isn't what I want in my system Debbra likes the taste of them they maybe milder but I like the wild caught . I use the tea you recommended in the evenings. The Turmeric is a spice from India and is anti inflammatory that s why its so good for our inflammation in our bodies.as it has curcurmin the yellow in it.

@merprep I never heard of right rice just looked it up and not a big pea person lol Never did care much for them What does it taste like? have you had it yet?

@lioness I do watch calories and carbs, being a bit diabetic. It's getting to the point where I have to watch just about everything! Along with the calories and carbs, I have to watch sodium, now cholesterol, and of course lactose. So far the lactose is the worst thing to have to avoid. If I become gluten intolerant too I will throw in the towel.

@Erinmfs You can buy chai bags that are unsweetened (with regular tea bags) and add whatever you want yourself. I generally drink it plain or with a little creamer. I never add sugar.

@debbraw I don't think I have ever seen wild Atlantic shrimp around here, except for those tiny ones and I don't find them very flavorful. Along with feeling that raw salmon is healthier, I do like the taste better. I splurged yesterday and bought King salmon -- it is usually 29.99 a pound but was on sale for 19.99 a pound. It was so delicious. We usually have coho around here, but in season, now, we have sockeye and King. Both are much better than coho.

I was just thinking yesterday about shrimp vs lobster. I love shrimp too, and definitely as much as lobster.

The fish manager at Whole Foods tells me that their farmed fish is responsibly farmed but I just do not trust it anyway, and I will NEVER eat tilapia. We usually have fish twice a week.

I will definately look for chai in tea bag form from now on. I purchased a product called Oregon chai, which turned out to be a powdered mix with 130 calories and loaded with sugar.

I did an experiement recently. We don't have Whole Foods where I live. My local organic supermarket sold me Baja shrimp from Baja Mexico. I purchased shrimp from Walmart, the package claims the product is from India! How can that be possible, India is on the opposite side of the globe from here! Idon't believe the label that this raw shrimp originated from the other side of the globe, India. What do you think?

where's @jakedduck1 ? I bet he's the guy who broke the server, are you receiving emails from hubapplication too? 🙂 or maybe it was @lioness ?

@contentandwell LOL I have a friend here who is diabetic and on dialysis so she is really restricted on her diet a lot of vegies she cant eat and is gluten free. I found for me diluting the tomatoe puree will work for me so at least I get the tom. flavor
