I like tumeric quite a bit, but ever since my wife went on blood thinners...no more tumeric.
I have mixed feelings re keeping old cookbooks. Usually, if I haven't made a recipe from the book in a certain amount of time, I probably never will. No interest, and as time goes by, the recipes/dishes/prep methods have gone out of style. There are certain (retro) classics I like, that for the most part, never go out of style. One example is a Time Life collection circa 1970s or 1980s. The illustrations are beautiful, and most of the dishes/recipes stand the test of time. They have hardcovers, as well. There are a few retro cookbooks I've donated that I regret, but sometimes I can find the recipe on the internet. Personal choice re stay or go. I never warmed up to The Joy of Cooking, years ago. I would like Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything.
I know what you mean. There are some cookbooks that I just could not part with even If I have never used them or never will use them. What I have been doing with my other cookbooks lately is going through them and print out recipes that I THINK someday we will want to make. And then I add the book to the stack that someday I will either donate or sell.
That's how I feel about almost everything - clothes, TV shows on my DVR, etc.
Me too. I want New Stuff.
The exception was my old classic movie collection on VCR tapes. I kept them card-catalogued for years. Sadly, the tapes got old, and VCRs went out of style. I also ran out of space. I had a huge film library.

Really? I never heard of that. Beetroot yes but not turmeric.

Turmeric gives it that bright look. As in my fridge pic, there's a jar of chow chow in it.

Sadly it's not just turmeric but curcumin (the chemical that makes chillies hot) as well. They both amplify the effect of the blood thinners.I like tumeric quite a bit, but ever since my wife went on blood thinners...no more tumeric.
I've just spent 6 months on a very high dose of clexane after being diagnosed with 3 major pulmonary emboli after major surgery last year.
I have to say I didn't take a huge amount of notice regarding it but did have many bouts of bleeding from minor knocks though Drs just said that was the dose I was on causing it. My flights back to the UK and home again had me back on the clexane for 5 days each time. Apparently I'm going to need to do that every time I fly now.
