Rural Revolution: Bugs me

Rural Revolution: Bugs me: "I don't know why, but these bumper stickers bug me. I can't put my finger on why, but they do. How do you folks feel about them? UPDA..."

I have no objection to coexistence. But when other philosophies choose to use violence, I DO object to that. Isn't it a cornerstone of Christian teaching that we all have to come to God ourselves, even if others help us there without coercion? But for so many 'coexist' means 'do as I say.'

Pasta

Pasta is a comfort food for many. It is also one of the things that new sufferers from gluten intolerance often miss most. (Even if it made them sick when they ate it!).

Fortunately, there are numerous alternatives.

It is possible to buy pasta made of the following items:

1. Corn
2. Rice
3. Quinoa (one of the 'ancient grains')
4. Potato
5. No doubt, other things.

We tend to eat brown rice pasta. It is easy to cook (boil for 15-20 minutes), has simple ingredients (brown rice and nothing else), and is tasty. It also adds fiber to the diet.

This is the brand we like best - other folks' tastes may vary.



One note:
If you live at higher altitude, you DO need the boil the pasta longer than what the directions say. I find I must add 5-6 minutes to the time.

So how do you serve it?

We eat it plain, with olive oil, or with tomato sauce.

Enjoy!
