Plain Plantain Herbals

08/08/2026

Whatcha doing? I am in the middle of a candida cleanse. It's in my ears and gut. So the next 15 days are gonna be rough rough rough. Have my work cut out . The no coffee rule is going to hurt. Oh well pivot!
Stocking up on some green juice most of which I will freeze. All the greens and none of the fun flavors that fruit provide. I will put the veggies through a second time . Then I will take the pulp and make a vege stock.
In this case I have base items such as spinach , chard( which I detest)kale, celery, dill, rosemary, cucumber, turmeric, garlic, once I have it all juice I will add lemons to help preserve and bump the flavor. I like sour and savory. I will also add a bit of physillium as a binder, a bit of ashwaganda , bee balm, Plantain either lancelota or Plantago major, Pau da Arco,

Attempting something new GF humming bird cake. It's on my herbal page because of the cinnamon and healthy structure of the recipe. Will let you know how it turns out. I had to adapt a bit but it has yummy things such as honey, Greek yogurt, pineapple( I used fresh) , pecans and oat flour.

Give the apprentice a chance. I have an awesome young fellow who has done work on my vehicle. Why, because he took the time to find the problem and fix it not just replace something that wasn't broken.

I love food. Cooking for 1 totally sucks. :) However I love to eat well. So it's often roasted vegetables. I always intend for these meals to be enough for at least 2 meals. Rarely happens. I love my roasted vegetables so much any leftovers are generally a late-night snack even cold. All seasoned with olive or avocado oil fresh garlic onions salt pepper and some fresh rosemary. The meat portion is usually secondary for me. Simple and easy but so delicious

Reality vs AI

I keep reading posts about how someone accessed recipes and information on AI or the internet for that matter. A little rant coming wait for it! Please don't use these as solid information. Maybe for ideas. That's it! You can do serious damage to yourself or others by taking it at full value.
Those of us who have studied, invested in training and unrefuted reference materials are truly moved by your enthusiasm but stop and get real information. Invest in some good guides do the research, work ethically, honor the earth, plant and harvest gather ethically. There is more but the point is there is alot of dangerous info out there. My biggest peeve is that it is offered as medical advise with No training nor responsibility. If you are giving or selling do you actually know its a safe product? If it is medicinally use do you have a clue what medical issues or meds it may interact with? Have you directed the receiver to Actual safe use of the product?

Please please please treat this seriously do the work and know what you are putting out into the world. And above all do not trust AI or Google to do that important work for you.
Have a great day but use caution its not just about good intentions

I am sharing this post from PickleBoy Foods. They have an interesting story it involves just to name a few. I have been following them for some time. Please check them out. Right now they are selling dog beds to raise money to fill a large commercial greenhouse with seedlings for selling fundraising and so much more. This is a small family run business that is digging in and working hard to build community interactive food at low cost. They will happily partner with charities, schools and other organizations . I wish I had proximity and time to get involved. Maybe some of you can. Check out the plans and all the hardworking they do. You can also support by purchasing from them at Langley location on 56th.
