I recently found some powdered calcium citrate. No flavor, and truly a fine powder. I've tried the NOW brand of powdered caclium citrate before, but it's gritty like beach sand.  3/4 tsp is about 600mg. Mixes well with foods, shakes, sauces, etc. $10 for a 4 month supply of 1600mg . There is no need to take 2 of  those BIG HORSE PILLS to get your 600mg calcium citrate supplements. New photo in my photos.

I recently found a source for an inexpensive unflavored whey isolate protein. 3 Tbsp is 25 gr of protein, or 2T = 17 gr of protein, with very mild flavor similar to evaporated milk. It can be mixed with foods or make your own protein supplement drinks.  It has no gritty texture, and mixes easily with SF pudding, oatmeal, soups, sauces, etc. Cost is $20 per pound, which is 35 servings of the  25 gr or 58 of the 17 gr servings.  Photo of protein in My Photos. Can be found at http://liquidbariatricvitamins.com/liquidbariatricvitamins/unflavored%20whey%20protein%20isolate.htm .  This is the most affordable whey protein isolate I have found. DAVE

Dry roasted edamame has 14 grams of protein per 1/4 cup. Edamame is a soy bean that is harvested when only 80% mature, and that's why it is green in color. Visit www.dried-edamame.com to learn more about this excellent high protein snack.

Dried peas has 6 grams of protein per 1/4 cup. Crunchy, slightly salted, no refrigeration, no sugars, 13% of daily fiber, no cholesterol either.  Photos, nutritional data and easy ordering from www.dried-peas.com . This is one of the best snack foods for bariatric patients.  There is also a comparion chart on this web site, comparing dried peas to wasabe peas in regards to nutrional values.

I had a distressing phone call yesterday. I've raised Ragdoll cats since 1977 and have maintained a license to legally do so since licensure was required around 1981.  I was informed yesterday morning that my license would not be renewed. My intial license was grand faterhed in becasue I had written permission to operate a cattery prior to licensure requirements.  I now have to place around 50 cats and kittens . UPDATE: I've been given an extension to September 11, then Nov.15, and the authorities are due to come back at any time (note of 12-30-08).  Some are alters, some are older kittens, some are breeders. If the cats are not placed, they will be impounded and probably euthanized. Reduced pricing on kittens and mature breeding cats.  Photo of breed is at
