Flax Crackers

I want crackers that my husband and I can enjoy, but how can I put such white flour junk and saturated fats into my body and hope to avoid the ill effects of that kind of irresponsibility?  Gotta make something better!

RAW FLAX CRACKERS
1 cup flax seeds
3 cups water
2 TBSPS braggs liquid amino acids
2 TBSPS lemon juice        

Soak flax seeds in 1.5 cups water overnight (4 hours minimum). They will turn into a think slurry mixture. Add 1.5 more cups of water, lemon juice, and amino acids. Blend to break up flax (to get omega oils) then spread evenly onto teflex sheet and dehydrate in the dehydrator for 36 hours or until crispy.

Paired with guacamole, it's a pretty good snack!!

crackers and cookies

It has been a long summer and we are still working on hitting a new record for extreme temperatures for summer.  I love Texas but the day we reached109 degrees I had nearly had all I could take!  Enough is enough,already!  Today we topped out at a mere 106 degrees!  Could it be a cooling trend  on the horizon?
     My solar oven makes such tender chicken for those who eat such things.  A couple hours in the sun oven makes the protein in beans so tender.   Just combine double the amount of water as the beans Point the oven at the sun and it will cook.  Throw in  some salt and anything else that strikes your fancy MMMMM!

Ooh! It really hurts!!!

It's bad enough not to be able to get around but this gout is excruciating.  Yes  my DH took me to Golden Corral where I ATE JUST THREE TINY PORK RIBS and some chicken...mmm.  Never again!  I knew there was a good reason for my interest in vegetarianism!!!  
Later as I related my tale of woe to a dear elder brother and thanked DH for bringing the portable potty closer to my bed I learned once again to be thankful for my blessings.  I seems that my brother has been forced to get around on his hands and knees!  It has been a long several weeks but the pain is leaving our gout ridden limbs and the swelling is leaving too.  What will I find to complain about next?  Oh yeah!  Boy is it hot!!  We Are  breaking records here daily and ae losing our cool and our looong patience.  We must learn to make ice cream.  Mom and Daddy used to do that but I haven't yet.  Guess I have more work to do.
