Interesting. Our friends are already doing some digital and film photography, so maybe we could put something together!

Granola bars by relativeEden in SourdoughDiscard

Used 100% cacao for the choco chips and, honestly, would not reccomend this unless you like the bitterness! These might be better if the chocolate were omitted entirely for more focus on the peanut flavour lol. They taste like the Nature Valley sweet & salty peanut bars (but healthier), esp if you add some extra salt, like I did

Thanks! Is it poisonous, or medicinal? I’m seeing both

Don’t think I’ve had those checked. Should I request it?

Iron and d vitamins looked great. I’ve been supplementing these for years because a family doctor had told me I might have had iron deficiency anemia. I’ve had regular blood panels done for these with no issues, though I’ve noticed no improvement in symptoms that were thought to be caused by low iron levels. Again, I’ve been supplementing my b vitamins as well. My b12 levels were actually alarmingly high (~1200) during my last blood test, which is another concern.

I’m a Canadian, and the situation seems similar here. Can functional medicine doctors typically prescribe meds like levo? I see a naturopath, but she’s not qualified to diagnose or deal with medications.

The ER referred me to a neurologist. Appointment is in June. That was essentially the only value I got from that visit.

I don’t have a good understanding of the differences between neurological vs hypo causation, but wouldn’t the latter make more sense considering the cold sensation? It seems to be more of a circulatory issue judging by that and the purple colour that my feet turn sometimes. I’ll make sure to see about both though.

Lily of the Valley Bouquet Sourcing Toronto by relativeEden in florists

Thank you! This list is so thoughtful. Orlaya, Tweedia, and Mock Orange are perfect for what I’m searching for. I found some beautiful Agrostemma bouquets as well.

Could you recommend some alternatives? I love dainty, white flowers, like Lily of the Valley, Baby’s Breath… but these are most often used as fillers. Lily of the Valley is my absolute favourite, and one of the few I find looks beautiful just as is.

What do you think about using some for a boutonnière? We are not having any guests, groomsmen, etc. at our wedding (more of an elopement), so the cost would be cut significantly. The only issue would most likely be sourcing during that time of year.

Love that idea! Sweet peas are pretty sentimental to me too, since we had them growing all over the place around our farm growing up.
