RE: Mouth watering tagine mediterranean style! Vegetarian or vegan it is up to you😉
That Tagine looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will make that. Dude! I worship Paul Stamets. That guy is the best. I just finished reading his book "Mycelium Running". That book blew my mind. Very cool that we share that interest in mycelium and mushrooms. Do you forage? or grow mushrooms? I drink a lot of mushroom tea and mushroom coffee. Usually Chaga, lion's Mane or Cordyceps. Nice post.
Thank you @chefsteve I really appreciate you checking out my old posts :)
I was waiting to meet another fan of paul stamets I love this guy :) a true hero!
I have to remember this book, I will read it someday, for sure.
I would love to learn foraging, but until know I was never in the right place at the right time to learn it. I am still wishing for the right time to come :)
Right now the only mushrooms I ingest is the one in my probiotic capsules :D it is combined with turkey tail & reishi mushruurms, I have to eat more mushrooms again.. I just settled in a house after travelling so now I can cook again.. soon the day will come that I buy a big pack of oystermushrooms again :) one of my favorites together with shiitake. I would love to learn to take wild mushrooms!
Did you gain a lot of health benefits with the mushrooms teas, certain things you noticed?
Hi @mitchiesfoodrace Yes, I did gain noticeable health benefits from drinking mushroom teas/coffees.
In the morning I drink mushroom coffee with lion's mane and chaga from Four Sigmatic
https://us.foursigmatic.com
This combination of mushrooms and a low caffeine (40mg) coffee gives me great steady energy without the restlessness and edginess that occurs when you take too much coffee.
At night time when I want to relax I will drink Reishi mushroom elixir also from Four Sigmatic. This mushroom tea has the same effect as having a glass or two of wine without the side effects. I have recently been rethinking if I want to continue drinking alcohol. I love wine and beer but after reading about alcohol, it has almost no benefits and a lot of negatives. It makes you dehydrated and is full of empty calories. It is the only thing that we consume that has calories but does not make you full. In fact it makes you hungry. And when you have been drinking and become hungry, you often make bad eating choices. So, for now I am experimenting with Reishi mushroom tea as an alcohol replacement. So far I like the results.
In the morning, If I need to really focus on a task and "get into the zone", I will drink a regular or strong coffee (100mg to 200mg caffeine) and take a 100mg capsule of L-Theanine. L-Theanine is an amino acid that naturally occurs in green tea. It makes you relaxed but still alert. You can focus without being distracted. You cannot get enough of it just by drinking green tea without getting too much caffeine. That is why you take the capsule with coffee.
Interesting things you take, I also believe this mushrooms are very medicinal but haven't really experimented with them. I was thinking about it after I saw some videos of paul stamets but haven't got to it yet. Starting the new habbits is always taking a long time for me haha :)
And about the alcohol I gave that up a year ago but now every once and awhile I drink again but on completely different level than before and I am much happier with the results :) I don't have to get so wasted anymore :D
P.s. I have always been more a tea person then a coffee person but every once and awhile I like cup of coffee too :)
If you don't like coffee you can try Schisandra Berry Tea. http://www.medicinehunter.com/schisandra
I drink this as a tea in the afternoon when I do not want caffeine. It has a ton of health benefits, but I drink It because it increases energy and increases endurance.
Thank you for the tip my friend :)
