[Sca-cooks] Carrots and feasts for me

[nickiandme at att.net]

For me - cooked carrots are right out.  However a limited amount of raw carrots is okay.  It seems to be the breakdown time of the cooked carrot v/s the raw fiber processing of the raw carrot that does me in.  IE: It travels more whole through my system than cooked does. So the raw carrot does not spike my blood sugar as much as cooked carrots do.   

My feasts from here on out will feature a lot more in the greens department as they have few sugar carbs in them and I will have more nuts for protein/garnish, and whole wheat breads with next to no sugar - ie: a teaspoon added to proof my yeast.  So, my feasts will actually become more vegetarian friendly than they have been in the past - although there will still be plenty of meat.  I'm just going to sneak in fish more often - ie: grilled slabs of salmon and tuna or other large food fish.  Which, depending on the country of origin I am cooking from will add to the medieval recreation of some of the special feasts from period. They ate a lot more seafood and freshwater fish than we americans do today.
