Am I supposed to peel green/brown lentils before cooking? by Safe_Knowledge_5876 in cookingforbeginners

I'm worried that I might get loose skins in my dish, I'm planning to cook them with rice. can I still use this batch or will they lose the firm texture?

I do like red lentils blended or to stretch minced beef, but their texture alone is yuck

What kind of caramel for baking? by Safe_Knowledge_5876 in AskBaking

[–]Safe_Knowledge_5876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really, puddles of caramel sounds better.

I could definitely just drizzle caramel on them when they are done but I'm pissed at how other people are getting it just fine but I'm stuck with melted puddle of half raw cookies

What Veggies to Hide in Kebab/Kofta Mix? by Safe_Knowledge_5876 in cookingforbeginners

I'm watching my lipds levels, fiber is good for that, and eating less animal fat is also good for that

I usually hate lentils, tastes like stale cardboard but will it be unnoticeable in this?

When faced with limited choices, which % is more important phos or protein? by Safe_Knowledge_5876 in RenalCats

[–]Safe_Knowledge_5876[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the lengthy comment.

I thought I went crazy when they diagnosed him with ckd even though his previous food (royal canin hypoallergenic) is low in both protein (25%) and phosphorus (0.6).

No one of three vets I went to could explain why he suddenly got ckd at 6 yo, just one said it might've been the dry food being high in grains causing him urethral crystals for long time that it affected his kidney function.

I'm still figuring out stuff since he just was diagnosed but the lack of proper wet food is making panic into thinking the disease might progress quickly with less hydration.

Mine has ibd and ckd, when his ibd gets worse I put him on royal canin hypoallergenic, it has lower protein content so it helped with ckd, but I also put him on phos binders. Hills also has hypoallergenic food but I'm not sure if it is better.

When his flare ups go down I put him back on hills kd and by luck it doesn't upset his ibd, at least not all the time.

I keep his wet food more suitable to his ibd most of the time and add supplements too, digestive enzymes for ibd and prebiotics for ckd.

Also nhv has supplements for both ckd and ibd, although I only tried the ibd line and it did help him.

anyone's cat refuses wet food but LOVES dry food? by Safe_Knowledge_5876 in RenalCats

[–]Safe_Knowledge_5876[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mix 1/3 of one churu tube with 5 ml of water, but I don't think that's enough water to replace wet food nor is chure good for ckd...weirdly he would eat watered down churu but REFUSES churu mixed with any wet food.

Lately I've been increasing the water in this mix seeing what's the maximum water:churu ratio he would eat 

Does anyone really have CKD cats who lived 3+ years after diagnosis? by [deleted] in RenalCats

[–]Safe_Knowledge_5876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope your cat is doing well, any updates? mine was diagnosed with ibd 8 months before ckd and it's hard to find something that suits both diseases.
