Drink it every day and would never touch the pasteurized stuff. Check out the Weston A. Price Foundation for more information about raw dairy and its benefits. Obviously, you have to have a trusted source, but if you do, it is much healthier for you than the "dead" milk that you buy at the store.

Some of us are formula babies, and were then raised on dead breastmilk in the form of pasteurized dairy. Just like people are touting the benefits of nursing babies and feeding them only breastmilk, raw milk is the bovine equivalent and comes with the same benefits.

Do some more research as to what the benefits and risks are and Weston A. Price is a great source. Also check out the book Nourishing Traditions.

Some of us will only buy food that comes packaged on Styrofoam trays, wrapped in plastic, irradiated to kill any potential bad guys because dirty is after all, dirty. Others think that dirt is actually clean and chemically fortified, irradiated mass manufactured food is whats dirty and fresh, natural foods teeming with microscopic biotics are clean.

Does it go in the oven covered or uncovered?

Is 3-5 minutes enough time to simmer frozen artichoke hearts so that they get tender?

@alex I think you're underestimating some of the people who celebrate 4/20.

Aren't some of the "restrictions" what makes this meal different than just any other "Spring" dinner? I kind of like having to follow the parameters that make this a seder and not just another meal, even though I've been raised secular my whole life. Getting to use schmaltz instead of butter doesn't happen everyday.

Wouldn't you want to cook the rice in the coconut milk and not just plain water?

Awkward?

Best store bought egg nog ever is Chipwich brand egg nog. All natural, made with real eggs and sucrose. None of that high fructose corn syrup garbage.

Guess no one had a problem with the "jew baby" comment?

Whenever I roast a chicken, I usually eat the dark meat for dinner and save the white meat for chicken salad the next day (organic mayo, salt and pepper). The rest of the carcass is frozen to make stock/soup with.

...it is easy to prepare. No need use a ton of fuel to boil a ton of water, or fire up a grill or oven.

Rip the silks off the end and microwave it for 3-4 minutes. The corn steams itself in the husk and the silks come right off.

Easy breazy.

Don't let all these serious gourmands put a damper on your microwaving corn aspirations; we do it all the time when we want corn on the cob and aren't planning on using the grill. We just cut an inch or so off the top and the bottom and pop it in the microwave for a few minutes. Remember, you can eat corn raw, so you don't have to worry about cooking it so much, just getting it to temperature.

Leaving the husk on steams the corn in it's husk with the moisture already present (you can soak the husk quickly before it goes in the microwave if you choose), adding a little more corn flavor and ensuring an even steam.

Microwaves aren't for cooking, but they are for heating edible items. I'd never cook food in one, but I would heat food up in one.
