testimonial: I never ignore Axel

I guess you were one of those people who made a habit of ignoring me and my
posts. <sigh
Axel!!!! Whatsamattawichyou?
I read every post from you and every person on this list. I do not have the
gift of total recall, and we talk about a lot of stuff!
You never sent the sacrifical virgins either (that much I do remember). I
have lighted the holy fire of the barbecue altar, sacrificed two game hens,
danced my little Biltong dance, and chanted (between mouthfuls of delicious
seared
flesh) for your salvation.
Here is what I have found out about omega 3’s. You all may recall that I was
wondering why it is so bad to toast flaxseeds, and asking if it is because it
does something bad to the omega 3 fats, and if so, does that mean we can’t
cook fish, which also contains omega 3’s. Lois, my dear sister-in-law, has done
some web surfing, and came up with this:
Omega 3 fats turn into trans fats at temps over 320F. It’s ok to cook fish,
as our fine finned friends are considered no longer raw at an internal temp of
145F. On the other hand, we are not really sure what temp the oils reach in
a toasted seed or nut, but Lois is embarking on more research, to make this
determination.
We shall prevail! Long live Biltong!
