2008-02-03 07:53:00

CHRISTMAS TRAVEL: it?s not so bad
2007-12-26 02:21:00
people have been telling me that you cannot carry food through security in the airports. I had invented a whole spiel about how I am on a special allergy limited diet, and I cannot eat food that has not been prepared by me. I did not need it. I made it both ...

I have just seen this on Raw Living Foods: Whole flax seeds can be stored at room temperature for at least one year. Ground flax can be stored at room temperature for at least four months.
