You're very welcome, my friend :)

It's just best to be on the safe side when dealing with raw meats. Food poisoning from spoiled meat is no fun!

If you use the chicken right away (today), it should be fine. If you won't be using it today, put it back in the freezer. But, if you put it back in the freezer, next time you use THAT same piece of chicken, be sure to use it right away and not let it linger in the refrigerator for any amount of time/days. You don't want to take any chances of getting food poisoning from spoiled chicken! I'm glad to hear all is well with you and yours! Thanks for asking, Mehjabeen :) I hope this helps!

The plastic bins are a good tactic! I use them all the time for storing extra greens. I normally line the container with either paper towels or a clean cloth, on the bottom and top. That helps to keep moisture from accumulating in the container (keeping the greens from sitting in water), while keeping a humid environment. My greens keep well that way. With the absorbent material in the tubs, you can close the lids all the way. Use them as quickly as you can to have the freshest greens possible. Thanks for watching and asking! Best wishes to you :)

My eyes are fine...thank you for asking! I used the vegan (algae-based) EPA/DHA supplements for years, but have recently started eating a lot of ground flaxseeds and chia seeds instead. As long as I eat plenty of them (and don't eat them at the same time I eat anything heavy in omega-6 fats), my eyes do very well and I'm not bothered like I was with teary, dry eyes. It's important to separate food sources of omega-3s away from foods rich in omega-6's because there is one enzyme that processes both of the parent compounds, and it preferentially processes the omega-6's first. As long as they are kept separate, the body can readily process the omega-3s. Thanks for watching and asking! I hope this helps! Best wishes to you, especially if you suffer from dry eyes :)

@@JudiintheKitchen I am afraid to get off the Restatis for dry eyes, but it encourages me that you have. Do you remember what supplements you took?

@@phillycg1 To be clear, I have never taken any prescribed drugs for dry eyes. Initially, my eye doctor said to try a warm wet wash cloth pressed in the corners of my eyes, to help unclog any ducts. That did nothing for me. I ventured on my own from there. Regarding supplements, I NEVER took fish oil and don't recommend them. I only took algae supplements of DHA/EPA. THAT'S where the fish get their omega 3's from. If you look in the description box under the video, you'll see a list of suggested supplements. Actually, I've taken then all and found the same results from any of them, believe it or not! I always took the recommended amount on the bottle, usually 2 capsules a day. Because I got the same results, I let price be my guide. ZenWise brand was usually the cheapest. I've since switched to including a lot of flax and chia seeds in my diet...usually blended into smoothies. Nothing wrong with the supplements, but I'm just opting for the seeds now, instead. I hope this helps! Best wishes to you :)

@@JudiintheKitchen Thank you for replying. As I don't want to be on Restatis for the rest of my life, I will get started on the supplements. I will let you know how it is.

@@phillycg1 I truly hope it works well for you! I look forward to your update!!

I believe you could get away with crushing them up in advance. BUT I would either store the crushed seeds in the refrigerator or freezer (in an airtight container or freezer bag). If you choose to store them in the freezer, you could freeze them in ice cube trays before transferring them to a bag or container, then you could take our how many "lumps" you would need in a day, and place them in a covered container in the refrigerator to allow them to thaw some so they can be broken apart. No matter what, i would not store them at room temperature. The oils may go rancid much easier than if they were left whole. I hope this helps! Take care and pet your dog for me :)

@@JudiintheKitchen oh my heavens. That’s so great!

FABULOUS information! Thank you so much for watching and sharing!!

So sorry! The video was intended for information purposes. Personally, I do not make vinegar, so unfortunately I cannot offer a recipe in how to make black vinegar. I'm sure there's a recipe out there somewhere. Thanks for watching :)

That's a question you should ask your healthcare provider. I'm sorry, but I just can't say for sure. Thanks for watching! Many blessings to you and I hope you get better very soon :)

@@JudiintheKitchen 🥰🥰🙏 thank you so much madam

I don't see why not. Being whole, they will take a lot longer to thaw out when reheating them, vs sliced beets. But it should still be do-able. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and sharing! I don't think there's a lot you can do to overly extend the life of your leafy greens beyond a week. The only alternative that I can think of would be to grow your own. Since you're off the grid, if you're in a colder climate, perhaps a greenhouse with a solar panel or at least a roof that allows sunlight in during the colder months may do the trick. I hope this helps!

Excellent tips! Thank you for watching and sharing your wisdom!!

Is it possible to add baking soda to it…

@@rajnandini-y8j Oh my! That IS a dilemma! It's tough for me to answer this one because I'm not sure how the fish was prepared. If you added to much lemon to a SAUCE that goes on the fish, then adding a pinch of baking soda to the sauce may do the trick. But, if the lemon was drizzled on the fish, then adding baking soda would really be tricky. In that case, just diluting it with some water and any other seasonings that were used on the fish may help. I might be able to help more if you shared how the fish was prepared. Sorry I can't offer more, but I need more info. Thanks for watching; take care :)

I also meant to add that, I did read or seen videos about marking the bags with the name of what it is I’m putting in the bag and the date. I just never did it, but I kept thinking lately that I should. I love the smell of leeks as I’m smelling them now. I’m not sure if I smelt them when I first got them, prob did but I love being in the present moment to capture nice smells. It’s just so neat seeing so many layers inside of the leek from your video as I’m truly amazed on the importance of leek as well as other veggies etc Back then I never ate certain things nor did I know the importance of what it can do for our body. The only thing I knew some about was carrots as a kid but I did try in my 20s, 30s to try new things but now I love learning the importance of what I’m buying as well as eating foods I never ate before, or giving other foods that didn’t agree with me another go & eating foods I didn’t like but like now. I did Google about Leeks But I did forget what family they came from until you mentioned it. It’s so amazing what family foods can come from. Also, as I was watching your video, I started thinking, I’ve always wanted to do video of some kind & thought in this situation I wouldn’t have anything new to share but then watching your video, ideas came to my mind. I think It would be so cool to actually have a soft brush to gently brush it in the water to remove the dirt. It could be another fancy easy way to clean it too. I usually call myself werid but I embrace it but others don’t like when I call myself werid, so I say I’m unique & others would imply that I am but I always put them together lol But I don’t know what it is, but call me Uniquely weird as I love to call myself🙂🙃but there’s something about cutting up leeks & green onions that I really enjoy & love like carrots, celery, cucumbers etc Leeks remind me of palms at Easter time. Anyways now I’m wondering if there is anyone else like that that enjoy cutting up leeks & green onions. I’m sure they’re are, since we live in a world with so many unique people who share similar interests like our own.🙂🙃 I just recently yesterday bought green onions. I realized I could’ve used the leeks instead. The other day I was making a recipe and I didn’t have any onions so I used green onions and it tastes good. So it’s good to have something on hand that’s similar to use. It’s also so neat to learn I can also put them in a salad so ty for that information. I also thought when I bought leeks for the first time, I thought wow that’s one giant green onion but it’s a leek. I find leeks much easier to cut bc they are more crunchy & plus with the knife I have, it’s more stubborn when cutting green onions bc green onions can be complicated to cut too at times bc they slide etc but leeks stay in place. I wish I had your chef knife bc I could cut it right away in chunks like you did with one cut. When it comes to onions that make me tear up I didn’t think leek could do the same lol Before I didn’t use that much so it didn’t at that time but since I’m cutting up a lot it did lol Anyways I also knew leaks can be frozen because I’m a googler which I love to do lol but I just didn’t know how to go about the process so thank you for explaining everything. I did read some thing before I seen your video that made me nervous to freeze them. It was talking about defrosting them safely & not defrosting them at room temperature which I’m not sure what they mean, unless they mean leaving them out on counter or fridge for them to be raw again I dunno so I don’t wanna do something wrong or what would happen but as long as I put them in recipes when it’s frozen and if I need it in other recipes that are raw I’ll just keep some in the fridge like you mentioned. But either way; you gave me ease to know that how to freeze them correctly. I’ve also read that it only could be stored for one or two months, but then it also said in the same sentence it can be stored for 6 months too but I’m so thankful that it can be stored longer with your information. I’m always happy when food can last longer. So sorry for the long rant, I didn’t expect it to be a much longer comment then I usually do but yah I’m just passionate about food etc Sending positive vibes your way. Thank you again beautiful soul. 🥰🫶🏻💕

@@xoxjunemariexox3104 No apologies needed! I too am passionate about food! To clarify one thing for you..."grit" can refer to more than one thing. In the leeks, the "grit" can refer to dirt embedded in the bottom layers of the leeks, as you have found out. "Grits" can also refer to corn grits, which are cooked and eaten in a variety of ways. They are delicious! Thank you for watching and sharing your experiences and thoughts! I'm glad the video was helpful to you! Blessings to you and yours :)

Oh my gosh, It was so nice to hear back from you as I seen how long the video was up for so I didn’t know id get a response but at the same time thought maybe I would. I didn’t know if I could get any notifications to my email so once I seen the notification I came in right away. Ahhh that’s probably where I’ve heard that term from because recently it was my first time buying corn on the cob & I wanted to know at the time if I can cook them & freeze them. I’ve read some information on Google & then seen video or videos. That’s probably where I’ve heard the term before & the meaning but then when I heard you saying that word again, I couldn’t remember the meaning until you clarified what it was. I didn’t know it meant something different in other foods so that’s very interesting to learn. Awee Your very welcome. Thank you for allowing me too, as I love to share my experiences, & thoughts. Thank you!!☺️🙏🏻Sending many positive energy, good fortune, kindness, love & good luck your way, to you and yours. 🥰🫶🏻💕

@@xoxjunemariexox3104 Thank you! You're a kind and loving soul :)

Thank you for watching and sharing! I'm glad you enjoy lima beans...you can't go wrong there! :) Blessings to you and yours :)

That's a great question! Overall, steaming is usually the best way to preserve nutrients in any fruit or vegetable that needs to be cooked. I agree that roasting a pumpkin would be far easier to do, and that would be a better choice than boiling it. I would "rank" steaming as the best, baking as second best, and boiling as the least optimal way to cook pumpkin. Thanks for watching and asking! I hope this helps :)

Well, I haven't needed to try this, but if you can, please do it as a test and let me know the results! Thank you!!

Thank you for the clarification of your question! That's a tough one. I have not tried this, but you could try it for yourself to see if it works. Soak the stained plastic in a mixture of two parts hot water and one part bleach or white vinegar. Allow it to soak overnight, then wash the plastic in your normal dish detergent. Hopefully that will remove the stain!

I'm familiar with turmeric. Now I'm assuming you're asking how to get a turmeric stain out of something...like clothing perhaps. If so, here is a website that lists how to remove turmeric stains. www.ariel.in/en-in/how-to-wash/stain-removal/how-to-remove-curry-stains-from-clothes I hope this helps answer your question!

Hi Mehjabeen! I'm not sure about your question. Are you asking about why cauliflower develops brown spots on it?

Oh no! At least (I hope) you learned that you can eat it as long as you get some liquid with it...even if you take a big drink after chewing those dry oats! Thanks for watching and sharing :)

I can't say for certain, but it's absolutely possible that it is a detox reaction. Try cutting back on the amount you take and see if you can tolerate it better. I may be able to give more specifics if you tell how much you have been using, and how much (and what type of) liquid you've been putting it in.

@@JudiintheKitchen Thanks for your fast reply. I used 5 grams, so about 1 teaspoon a day, in the morning. Either in water or green tea. It's not that I a headache every time, but I noticed that I get them more often when I use the powder. As I carry a lot of weight from a history with bad nutrition I thought that maybe the headaches could be due to the body starting to release toxins.

@@floraly88 It's very possible. Try cutting back to 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams or so) and see if that helps! If the headaches stop, then I would go with that dosage for a while, then slowly increase it until you get back up to 5 grams a day. Hopefully this will help! Keep me posted!

I will, you're doing a great job with your channel.

Honestly, I don't think that would be a wise thing to do. They would be extremely hard for the body to digest and may cause some gastrointestinal issues. I cannot advise that. Rolled oats are actually steamed then dried. Steel cut oats are truly raw and I don't think the human gut is designed to process that. Thank you for watching and asking!
