dangerousmeta!, the original new mexican miscellany, offering eclectic linkage since 1999.

Banished.

I was adding garlic back into my daily vitamin regimen. Got a one-a-day ‘odorless’ from WF. I’ve taken three.

You can guess the rest of the story. I’d better go off and hike in the preserve, see if I can sweat it all out.

Back in the Adelle Davis days my mother went on a brewers yeast binge, for us kids.

Bad enough to sweat like fresh bread, but it also caused severe, um, flatulence.

Needless to say we went on strike.

Yes, when my acne was at peak, someone suggested brewer’s yeast. I rebelled after one taste.

Two days to get it out of my system. I’ll go back and try Kyolic brand, which I’ve had better luck with in the past.

I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Brewer’s Yeast to dress my popcorn, instead of butter and salt.  To each their own, eh?

I suspect in my case Evelyn it was more a case of ‘everything in moderation’, a half-dozen horse pills of Brewers is a bit much for a kid daily.

Ah, you’re right about moderation.  When dressing a bowl of air-popped popcorn, only a light dusting of brewer’s yeast goes onto popcorn drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.  I call this ‘Tucson-style’ popcorn, because I learned it there and it’s very popular there!  I know it’s an acquired taste, but do I ever enjoy it!  I haven’t eaten any butter/salt-dressed popcorn since 1983 when I first moved to Tucson and was introduced to this dressing.

Sorry, didn’t mean to imply your unusual popcorn dressing was appealing - I’ll try anything, but where do you get fine grind brewers yeast?

Emmett, the present batch of Brewer’s Yeast that I am using in my popcorn dressing was purchased from Bulkfoods.com.  I am a regular customer of theirs.  Products I have already purchased from them include a wide array of dried beans, dried mushrooms, nutritional yeast (which I have been calling Brewer’s Yeast in these posts), dried herbs such as chamomile flowers, and various dried fruits.  Go to:

I have never had a bad experience or a bad product from Bulkfoods.com.

Garret, is there any way you could email this response to Emmett?  Thanks so much!

Oh I got it - thanks!
