Natural goodness of Chia seeds

In a couple of days, I will get a bag of chia seeds. I cant wait to try different recipes using these seeds.
chia seeds in pregnancy and labor
Until few days I hadnt heard of chia seeds and now I see that this product from Aztecs is better than the best like salmon for omega 3 fatty acids. Well its hard to know if al of that is true, we have to take the experts word for it. As a product, I first tried a tbsp of it in a glass of cold water. Let it absorb some water. I gulped some water down and hey they are harmless. If the thought of letting gelly stuff go down your throat sounds difficult, go on take a bite, you will find that it is much like a skinny sesame seed. Even if it acts like a placebo, our body will self induce the goodness we think we are feeding it. I will try to make a chia pet and have it in my oatmeal and report more observations.

She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
