Bladderwrack woes

Written by

The Bladderwrack and Dulse arrived from Amazon. The dulse was from a company called Maine Coast Sea Vegetables.  It is wonderful.  It tastes like seaweed, of course.  So if you are expecting something delectable, don’t kid yourself.  I’m not buying it for the taste.  I’m buying it because seaweed is beneficial and especially good for […]

A box arrived from Amazon today with items from Dr. D’s Cardiovascular Disease book.  Because I live in the country, I order a lot from Amazon, but usually not nutritional items.  This may be a pivotal shopping moment.
