Clarke brought in his new rope and it was roundly approved by our best rope skippers and a bunch of us who are mere wannabes. If you want to pick one up for yourself you can find it at buyjumpropes.net. They provide a number of different ropes and they are very affordable.

In light of the continuing snow there will be NO 7:30pm Class Thursday.

4:30/5:30 times are open as usual, drive safely.

Jeff and Charity Vale of CF Snohomish passed along a great website that is filling my time and adding to my knowledge of traditional cooking.

Nourished Kitchen describes itself as a place to “Learn about traditional foods including soaking and sprouting grains and legumes, the importance of wholesome fats, how to make bone broth and sourcing high-quality ingredients.”

I am nearing the end of my first week of NK’s recommend perpetual bone broth and am loving it! I used the stock to make chicken and vegetable soup and am having a coup mugs of it each day. I know, I am doing another weird thing. My new goal is to get as many of you to try it out.

Take some time to explore Nourished Kitchen, it will be well worth your time.

You only need to watch the first 10 seconds to get the point.

There was a 39 percent increased risk of death in those with celiac disease, 72 percent increased risk in those with gut inflammation related to gluten, and 35 percent increased risk in those with gluten sensitivity but no celiac disease.

This is ground-breaking research that proves you don’t have to have full-blown celiac disease with a positive intestinal biopsy (which is what conventional thinking tells us) to have serious health problems and complications–even death–from eating gluten.

Yet an estimated 99 percent of people who have a problem with eating gluten don’t even know it. They ascribe their ill health or symptoms to something else–not gluten sensitivity, which is 100 percent curable.
