Why are my mushrooms sunbathing on the deck? Because if you put the regular button mushrooms in the sun with the gills facing up for 30 to 60 minutes between 10 am and 3 pm, they will absorb Vitamin D. Yep that's what I learned. So from now on my mushrooms will be sunbathing before I use them. Apparently even if we spend a good deal of time in the sun we may not get enough vitamin D. I made another batch of the
homemade cream of mushroom soup. Follow the link for the recipe; it's really good.
If you are getting updated posts from the past from my blog, I apologize. That is the only way I can delete past labels and still have my blog update with the new posts. You'd think the folks writing the programs for these blogs could figure something else out. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
That's interesting, and surely good for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, thanks, yes vitamin D needed for absorption of calcium which we definitely need.
ReplyDeleteI take 2000 IU of "D" daily. I tried saying I was out in sunshine soaking up "D" to my Doc. Not enough, she said, to keep my bones full of calcium. I'd love to remove some of the blog labels that I've already got, but don't know where to go...if you do, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, do you eat mushrooms, apparently this works, the Vitamin D helps the intestines absorb calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc.
ReplyDeleteBlogger forum folks told me that if my blog has more than 5000 labels it's too many. I've had my blog since 2008 and that's a lot of labels. Of course back the to get good circulation you tried to have a lot of labels for the search engines, now I don't think it matters as much.
You have to go to posts and scroll back to the oldest ones and you have to edit each post to remove the labels, it takes a lot of time and my blog is still not updating so I am not sure. I have had a contact with the blogger forum for almost a month and they haven't been able to figure it out yet. We shall see.
Intriguing.
ReplyDeleteAnd how I love mushrooms. Much more than sunbathing.
Hi Elephant's Child, thanks, apparently a lot of us have a deficiency of Vitamin D so this is a good way to improve that.
DeleteMushrooms sunbathing in the nude...not a bikini in sight! I'm blushing! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lee, thanks, they were on the front deck, do you think the neighbors will talk.
DeleteIf I did that to mushrooms, it would be a feast for bugs. Lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi, thanks, you could always cover then with a screen and get the same effect without the bugs. I once dried tomatoes in the sun in a hot climate and thought the flies and bugs would be all over them, nary a one landed on them much to my surprise so you might be surprised.
