He said I have great teeth!

 

[skiingfast]

Turdsday morning LAST.

Massage....no dentist....no bills.

How nice that must be. Over the hump and relaxing.

 

[franandaj]

If I can wake Fran up from her nap, we're going to have Schnitzel for dinner tonight!

 

[skiingfast]

Der Wiener Schnitzel?

 

[franandaj]

Der Wiener Schnitzel?

No! That place is an insult to actual German Food. It's German night at our local favorite coffee shop, they serve a Pork Schnitzel and Bratwurst as their specials.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Enjoy your bratwurst. Is there sauerkraut with it too?

 

[skiingfast]

Is there sauerkraut with it too?

You mean liberty lettuce?

 

[PrincessInOz]

Is that what you call it over there?

 

[skiingfast]

Is that what you call it over there?

My Grand Father did.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Why liberty lettuce?

 

[skiingfast]

Why liberty lettuce?

Some Germans killed his friends.

[skiingfast]

Do you eat pickled vegatables?

 

[PrincessInOz]

I'm Asian. Of course I eat pickled vegetables.

What about you?

 

[skiingfast]

I'm Asian. Of course I eat pickled vegetables.

What about you?

Yes, pickles, and sometimes sliced veggies with hot peppers, very hot.

But I read and article about vegetable consumption and it noted that in Asian nations it was a lot higher than the US. Then another article that links pickled veggies to cancer and it noted that Asians have higher incidence. It noted they eat less fresh vegatables than the US the difference is all pickled vegetables. But wether the pickled vegetables have a true link to the cancer is questionable.

 

[PrincessInOz]

That's interesting information.

Thankfully, I'm an each-way bet. We eat a lot of fresh vegies as well.

I also like my spicy food.

The whole thing was about the acid in vinegar affecting the digestive track. Of course Americans drinks a lot of soda that no matter the kind is acidic. This wasn't in the article so I'm not sure the studies are very well done.



Spice is nice.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Hmmm...so it was the acid? I always find these studies interesting. Acetic acid, which is vinegar, has a pH of about 2.5 The pH of the gastric juices is about 1.

I think soda is more acidic that vinegar.

 

[franandaj]

Hmmmm....that is very interesting. We eat sauerkraut with sausage and in our ruebens. However that is maybe 1-2 meals in as many months. We occasionally have pickle with our sandwiches, but don't eat a lot of pickeled veggies.

The most is when I make cucmber salad with Rice vinegar and it marinates for 1/2 an hour.

Time to go pick up DS from school. Should be back before the hour is up.
