It is. Marine animals are fish eaters and their blubber is quite
different than the fat of land animals ... relatively unsaturated
and very high in omega acids.

What is killing them is diabetes since they started eating store
bought food which became available in the 50's and 60's in most
places. Their systems are not used to consuming carbs at all whereas
our ancestors have had over 8000 years to get used to them.

> Lombardi's I'm not so enthusiastic about.

Even if they don't make the best pizza in the country I still have
to go once, merely because it is the oldest pizzeria in New York
and therefore the entire new world.

Like putting DDT free fruit and e-coli free milk on your asbestos
free breakfast cereal!

Here at home we have frost warnings so Roslind harvested all our
herbs, chilies and tomatoes today. Any herbs above what we plan to
eat in the next week are being gently air dried. We have 3 kinds of
chives, 2 oreganos, basil, 2 mints, marjoram, parsley, cilantro,
dill, sage, several thymes, leafy celery and rosemary. I won't be
drying any cilantro though as that is a wasted effort, just eating
lots of it in the near future.

Also on the menu is yu choy, one of my favourite greens. It was on
special this week so I got lots. Last night I stir fried a bunch
with crescent onions, made up a brown sauce with soy, a bit of
hoisin, some mustard and lots of oyster sauce and served it over
pancit canton. Very nice.

Tonight Roslind made a hamburger stroganoff sort of thing with lots
of our fresh chives, bunching onions and Anaheim pepper while I made
a companion salad of field greens with just about every herb from the
garden except the dill and mint.

  (instructions follow):
  
  Seven Minute Frosting: Place egg whites, sugar, cold water, cream of
  tartar or corn syrup, and salt in the top of a double boiler. Then
  place over rapidly boiling water, beating constantly with an egg
  beater, for 7 minutes or until icing will stand in peaks.  Remove
  from heat, add vanilla, and continue to beat until thick enough to
  spread.  When entire cake has been frosted, sprinkle coconut and
  orange rind  generously over the top and sides Then decorate the top
  with orange sections.

  jimznotes: I quadrupled the orange zest, using dried rind that I
  buzzed in my spice mill, and used 1 full cup of Coconut Dream for the
  cake liquids, no dairy milk.
  
  I also made the cake just one layer thick in a single 9 X 13
  rectangular pan which needed 40 minutes at 350 F.
