Oxal, 28

Half demon, all witch. Estranged from her family she cursed her infant niece and then moved to the middle of nowhere to become something like a fantasy landlord. Housing harpies, fey creatures, merpeople, and the occasional werewolf.

It wasn't until her brother shipped his teenaged daughter Iris, the niece she cursed, to live with her and teach her how to live like she does.

Daily Fungi Fact 80: The Common Pinmold (Mucor mucedo) has fast growing colonies, it produces the mycotoxins oxalate, which is toxic and corrosive, and some aflatoxins, which cause liver cancer as well as other health complications, however aflatoxins are usually characteristic of Aspergillus species, so the common pinmold having them requires further confirmation.

My Diet Put Me in a Wheelchair

Michael Mathieu shares his powerful story of how "healthy" plant-based foods containing high levels of oxalates contributed to decades of declining health and may have made him more vulnerable to a life-altering mountain biking accident. After years of deteriorating health that began in his twenties while following a vegetarian diet rich in spinach, nuts, and other high-oxalate foods, Michael discovered the connection between these "health foods" and his condition.

Now a C4-5 quadriplegic, Michael describes his remarkable journey of healing after eliminating high-oxalate foods and adopting a carnivore diet. His story includes surprising improvements in voice strength, sensation, and mental clarity, demonstrating the profound impact dietary changes can have even years after injury. This candid interview serves as both a cautionary tale about commonly promoted "superfoods" and a testament to the body's ability to heal when oxalate intake is addressed. Michael's experience highlights the importance of understanding how supposedly healthy foods can potentially cause serious harm to some individuals.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

The name oxalic acid is derived from one of its sources in the biological world, namely, plants of the genus Oxalis, one of which is the soursob (sourgrass) plant, O. pes-caprae (figure 23.2).

Can we get a leafy green tier list from spindle and nima please??

Absolutely! they share the same favorites I'll give you the top 5 favorite greens and the 5 that were HARD misses and I'll let spindle rate those bc Nima just eats spindles favs and I don't waste money buying food one rabbit won't eat. Without further ado here's the ranking:

Number 1: Dandelion (5 stars, will binky every time)

Spindle: will jump inside the bowl as I'm setting it down

Nima: binkies the second dandelion is spotted

Number 2: Cilantro

Spindle: very close to dandelion. Boy eats it so fast and he gets an added bonus of smelling like cilantro all day 💀

Nima: mmmmmmm

Number 3: Mint

Spindle: a rare treat so he goes insane and his farts are diabolical

Nima: yumy but no strong opinions

Number 4: Green leaf lettuce

Spindle and Nima: oh boy time to scatter it around everywhere and roll around in it THEN eat it. Delicious

Number 5: Dill

Spindle LOVES it but Nima not sooo much though she will eat it. Spindle ends up smelling like pickled beast which is a minus honestly

Now for the hated greens:

Number 1: collard greens

Spindle literally gets offended he gives me this very specific look that tells me I better count my days. He will flip over the bowl and poop on it. Jail for mother and hell

Number 2: turnip greens

Spindle ate em as a baby but now hates it he will go on a food strike if I serve it

Number 3: rainbow swiss chard

Don't come at me I know it's high in oxalic acid I gave it to him once to see if it could be a rare treat. The colors made him nervous and he went on a food strike

Number 4: Romain lettuce

Seriously is it that different from Green leaf? I know it's sweeter but Last I gave him this he got so mad he pissed in the water bowl too 💀💀💀

Number 5: Endive lettuce

He's not a huge fan when it comes into the green rotation. He reluctantly eats it but you can tell he wishes it was dandelion. At least he eats it tho.

Love discovering that an older method for cleaning or taking care of a problem works. Wish it didn't sometimes involve scary (to me) chemicals but sometimes the vinegar and baking soda and lavender type fixes just do not get the job done.

Taro and adjusted miso dip: Dengaku (cooking)

In Japan, this dish is called ``dengaku.'' It is a dance that is the predecessor of Noh and Kyogen, but it is unclear why it is called that. Taro is peeled and boiled until it's soft enough to melt, (Boiling also has the effect of removing oxalic acid.) then eaten with a dip made from miso, vinegar, sugar, and mustard. It's delicious. It is said that Japanese mochi is modeled after taro.

里芋と調整味噌ディップ（料理）

日本では、このディップのことを「田楽」と呼ぶ。能や狂言の前身の舞踊のことだが、なぜそう呼ぶのかは不明。皮を剥いてよく茹でてとろけるほど柔らかくした里芋（茹でることで、シュウ酸を除く効果もある。）に、味噌、酢、砂糖、芥子を混合したディップをつけて食べる。美味である。日本の餅は、里芋を模したものであるとも言われる。
