So this is the kitchen parade's "drunk" junk drawer ... somehow I think it deserves a more lofty name ;-)
ReplyDeleteDear Alanna, I enjoy reading all of your posts and appreciate all the information, tips, advice and recipes. Your humour and witty commentary add to the pleasure. Thank you for your dedication, time, energy and efforts to inform and educate us all. Finding your website has been such a benefit to me and my family. Gratefully, Irene Murray
ReplyDeleteMy gosh - Irene, thank you so much for taking the time to write. You've made my day, heavens, you might have made my YEAR! I
ReplyDeleteDrunk drawer?! That is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteDear Alanna,
ReplyDeleteWhat vegetables have the most SOLUBLE fiber? I'm not much of a cooker, and while i try to eat as much raw fruits veggies and minimally-processed foods as i can, i still find myself with bouts of constipation. Soluble fiber, i understand, is more benefial for constipation than insoluble fiber. Do you have a list of high Soluble fiber vegetables Alanna?
Thank you
Anonymous ~ Sorry, no, I don't have that information available, what I work from is the USDA nutrition database and it doesn't provide that information. Have you tried a morning bowl of oatmeal? Just 1/4 cup, cooked, works for me, see Oatmeal: How & Why to Cook It Every Day.
