Oats

Saturday, September 22, 2012

I've been doing some reading lately, and one of the things I've read about is the concept of soaking grains to reduce phytic acid.  I don't think I've ever done that, so I decided to give it a shot.  I picked up some oats and whole milk.  I don't have access to raw milk so non-homogonized is the best I could do.

Breakfast:  Soaked oatmeal (organic rolled oats soaked overnight in water & buttermilk) with butter and whole milk.  Coffee

Not eggs.

This was quite tasty and no sour taste was noted.  Some of that may be the commercial buttermilk being weak but I don't have an immediate way around that.  It was filling and stuck with me.

Snack:  1 package peanut butter crackers

Lunch:  Ham, bacon and swiss on toast, fries, 1 x 12 oz Miller Lite

Snack:  Tortilla chips with triple cheddar cheese, a little sausage and Ro-tel

Dinner:  Deluxe pizza

Exercise:  36 holes with cart.  Lots of extra walking during the first round.  Pretty tired tonight.
