I marinated some short ribs in tamari and pineapple juice last night
(short marinade, ~1 h), then cooked them in the marinade. They were
yummy with a nice glaze. I surmise that the betain (?) in the
pineapple juice must break down the meat tissue nicely. Give it a try!
On the body temp issue, when I donate blood, my temp is usually
within one degree of “normal”, usually on the low side. However, I
usually feel warm. Too much heat in the winter kills me, though I
don’t like being real cold, either. I sweat easily, even in cold
weather. Though it rarely gets below the teen here, and that’s pretty
rare itself. I sweat so much in the summer when I go outside (90s-
100). My heritage is mostly British Isles (Welsh, Irish, Scottish,
English). Most of the family, except my dad, runs on the warm side. I
like to sleep with the window cracked in the winter, with my down
comforter! Green tea makes me sweat, as do most hot drinks. Weird. I
looked and I can actually see a few blue veins in the neck/chest
