Karel Food Friday Milk From Plants Fruit on Fruit And Ember Lessons

Karel Food Friday Milk From Plants Fruit on Fruit And Ember Lessons is a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon. First, Karel goes in to the kitchen as the Planted Host to teach you how to make the basic staple…milk! Yes, unless you are a baby cow your body doesn’t really like cow’s milk. So, you’re going to need an alternative. Lucky for you, there are plenty.

I choose Oat milk as my go-to, but I do use others for different things. I will often use coconut milk instead of dairy in chocolates and desserts; or Ripl, pea milk, for baking because it will curdle with Vinegar added. It’s really up to you, but one thing is sure, you shouldn’t buy it.

All you have to do is follow along.

Start with a great blender. I use the Ninja 

Then, take one cup of any nut you’d like, or split peas, and soak them overnight or at least eight hours in three cups of water. No need to soak oatmeal.

When soaked, discard water. Then add three fresh cups for nut milk, four for oat milk to the blender with the nuts or oats. Mix for 30 seconds. 

Strain 2x through a T-shirt or nut bag.

Ember Lessons

Ember is now Cleopatra in a land barge as I jog with her in the mornings. Why? Because she can’t do six miles any more,  she can do four. So, it’s four. Why? A sports injury in her back right leg, soft tissue. So, she gets treated specially. 

But that can teach us all a lesson about healing and how to go about it. If you ask her, she’s fine. If you want to run, she’ll run; play, she’ll play. But she shouldn’t. And some times, in order to heal from something you have to step back even if you don’t want to do it.

Breakfast is Served

We finish food Friday with one of the most fun meals of the day, Breakfast. I show you my go-to, including my Peanut Butter Power Pancakes:

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup Peanut Butter Powder

1 cup nondairy milk

1/4 cup Safflower Oil or your favorite

1/4 sugar

1 tsp. Baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

Nuts of choice

Batter should be, well, liquid but not soupy. Serve 1/4 cup per pancake

And of course, Field Roast Sausage and…

Fruit on Fruit

Take it from one, you don’t eat enough fruit. And you should because they are marvelous. We explore their wonders here.

Karel Feeling Gravity And Presidents Plus Must Have Items Karel Feeling Gravity And Presidents Plus Must Have Items is an emotional rollercoaster of a show. That's because today in America was another emotional roller coaster, and like you, Karel is on it as well. However, there were high points of the day and Karel Feeling Gravity and Presidents Plus Must Have Items points out. First, the speeches. If you haven't heard Rep. Lewis Homegoing ceremony and the Presidents that spoke, do so immediately. And, Covid is raging and not going away for months. Maybe a year. Can we make it? Can we hold out? Can Biden do anything? Or, are we just being led to slaughter, like Herman Cain? Is China Our Enemy? There's a lot of talk about China these days, but are they are enemy? Do they even want to be? And what would they gain by being so? When you think of China you have to think of a nation concerned only with China and what's best for China; not necessarily the Chinese, but China. So why fight with the United States when there's another way? And there is, and today we find out how they've actually already pretty much won that "cold" war. Must Have Kitchen Items Going down the path to plant based eating you must have the right tools. Whether you can afford new, used, OfferUp, Thrift Stores, it doesn't matter, you must start a collection. And if you have one, expand it. Pots and Pan are the first must. If you don't have a way to cook your food easily, you won't. And, you can't make Pasta in a frying pan (well, you can, but why?). Then electronics that help are everywhere. For instance, a pressure cooker is back in style and a must. And everyone must have a good blender, food processor, rice cooker. And what about a countertop oven like the Brava? We examine it all here. Watch and listen daily on all streaming services, watch daily at youtube.com/reallykarel and get the free dedicated Karel Cast App at reallykarel.com and all app stores.

Karel Life Changes, Civil War and Purging Karel talks today on Life Changes, Civil War and Purging. First, no one hears until they are ready. Well, has Covid19 made you ready to make changes and hear the truth? It has more than few people in Karel's life, so, today, we talk about when you have THAT moment. You know, that come to Jesus moment where you realize, I must change, I have to change. Karel knows Life Changes must happen to fight the Civil War and it starts with Purging. But why do we wait until there is no other choice. That's why. We're bad with choices. Social Civil War There are those that think the Civil war ended in 1865 and those that know in many ways it still rages. And where are the battlefields of this new era of Civil Discourse, Civil War? Social Media and Trump is a General on it. So what go to his battlefield. If the Civil War of today's world is being fought in the land of Social Media, why fight? This is so relevant today as Congress is hearing from the makers and owners of the very social platforms that are being used to divide the nation. Do they care that their platforms are polluting the world? And what about Donald Trump and the Republican's use of the media to divide and conquer? To spread misinformation? Just today Don Jr's Twitter account was suspended for spreading misinformation. The Purge Each day we take on a new step to becoming a plant based eater. After you deal with "the news" and make the Life Changes above, what is the first step? Well, I only know what I did, so we will go through it step by step every week. First, there was the Purge. You cannot bring new things in your life if the old is cluttering things up. So, purge with me.

Karel on the possibility of Happy Endings and the worst of radio Karel takes on the possibility of happy endings in the USA Today and the worst of radio. Today he also dives in to life imitating the art of the horror movie "Haunters." The possibility of Happy Endings for the USA dwindles daily, and yet, many are refusing to see it. Are you? Do you have a Plan B for the very real possibility of a Trump reelection? Do you know what you would do if your job vanished, your pension dried up or Social Security goes away. Kare on the possibility of Happy Endings and the worst of radio rips the blinders off. Think about it. Have you been lulled in to believing that a Joe Biden Presidency will stop Coronavirus in its tracks? Do you believe that he can undo all the damage done by this current fascist? Well, if you do, you haven't paying attention as Karel lays it all out. Haunted by Haunters Karel found a great movie on IFC Channel called "Haunters." The film turns out to be an interesting twist on an old ghost story with a socially relevant message that may have been unintended. Intended or not the simple horror movie ends up imparting an impressive message if you look at it as a social commentary as much as a gore fest. Radio Hall of Bigots The Radio Hall of Fame nominations are out and over racists, anti-immigrant bigots and an alleged closeted individual are in the lineup, as usual. Is broadcasting do all it can in the new age of waking up and taking responsibility for systemic racism. How many Black members of the Hall of Fame? Women? Gay? Trans? How many working in radio at this writing? Even in major cities. Stephanie Miller is a woman and gay and she is nominated and the only one worthy of a vote. If times are changing, someone should tell commercial broadcasting.

Karel's anger at Covid, Charlemagne and Maskholes Karel's anger at Covid, Charlemagne and Maskholes boils over in this controversial and angry episode. Feeling hopeless in Nevada where Covid rages, Karel cannot understand why there is no leadership and why there is still a debate on whether or not to really lock the country down. How can we not? If you follow the CDC, they said the numbers are probably 10 times worse, which means as of today, there are about 40 million infected Americans and 1.4 million dead. And what's worse, is the complacency. Covid can and wants to kill you or you family and make life horrible. So why aren't Maskholes seen as attempted murderers? They are just that. Every time someone is not complying , they are saying they do not care if you or your family dies. DIES as in dead. Charlemagne, the dumb radio host, not God Charlemagne the God, a rehabbed criminal who went on to write best selling books and has a radio show in New York, has criticized Joe Biden for saying Trump is the first racist President because 12 Presidents owned slaves. And? Truly. And? What, exactly does this man want us to do about the 12? We can only deal with the one. But here's the hard facts, an Black person in America saying "hurry up and pick a Black running mate so I can be excited to vote for them since I'm not excited to vote for you..." First, if he chooses Mickey Mouse as his VP, you still have to vote for him to Save America, period. Doesn't he, Charlemagne, get it? Doesn't he understand that in order to save America we must empty the White House of it's current occupants? Does he really think sowing seeds of dissent against Biden is going to help? Well, if he does, he's not that bright. Karel's Anger at Covid, Charlemagne and Maskholes is not the easiest episode to hear, and it wasn't easy for me to do. Because at the moment, I'm feeling hopeless, like so many, I'm feeling lost, afraid, and very alone in the fight at times; again, like most. Yesterday, that anger, that emotion got to be too much. Today, it manifests in anger towards so many that are trying to destroy the very nation I've lived in 57 years.

Karel: Silence Social Noise While Covid Rages Karel says today it's time to Silence Social Noise While Covid Rages. Why? Because if you Silence Social Noise While Covid Rages it will be for your own good, that's why. The noise just appears to be too much and people are turning in to Twidiots. I know, I became one yesterday in my exchange with Boy George. But it brings about a bigger issue, the issue of everyone is just making noise on social media these days, sound over substance. It's a thought provoking editorial, which is featured here at the site as well. Covid Rages The numbers are in and they are not good. Covid is raging everywhere, with a few hot spots. California, Nevada, and 17 other states are all breaking records. What does this mean? It means the United States is headed for at least another year of needless suffering and loss. Here's just a sample of the news: California now has the most confirmed coronavirus infections of any state, surpassing New York, as an ongoing statewide spike in the number of infections has pushed its overall case count past 413,000. As of Wednesday morning, data from Johns Hopkins University showed California had reported about 1,100 more cumulative COVID-19 cases than New York — which was besieged by the virus in the early spring but has since seen the numbers of newly confirmed infections, deaths and hospitalizations drop dramatically. California, however, is trending in the opposite direction. Shortly after noon Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom said that 12,807 new coronavirus infections had been reported in the past 24 hours — a record high — bringing the state’s total to 413,576. Thanks for continuing to support the show in these trying times.

Karel V. Boy George in Twitter War Karel V Boy George In Twitter War! means there's lots to discuss and lots to learn. How did Karel V Boy George In Twitter War all begin? Why? Because Boy George was promoting / paying respect to a certain person who just happens to be a member of the White Nationalist Party. The the Karel V. Boy George in Twitter War takes a turn when Boy George responds, several times, and even threatens to "cancel" Karel when Karel asks him to go on the record for a Medium article about his own views. In spite of it being two petty queens arguing, there's a bigger issue: Should we support and promote, pay homage to or continue on with people who have shown themselves to be despicable. George W. Bush can paint, so forget he's an un-indicted war criminal responsible for the deaths of thousands. If Donald Trump cut a hit record, would his views suddenly be OK, or just not discussed? Would it be OK to buy a Trump album? NO. Well, Boy Georg thinks differently and Karel tried to talk some sense, it didn't work. Why KFC Going Vegan Isn't Great So, if a plant based diet is good for you, KFC going Vegan for a dish must be good for you, too, right? WRONG. It appears we are going in the right direction, plant based, the wrong way. And once again there's a culprit that's familiar, a corporation. Beyond Meat may be all the rage, but it's basically Vegan junk food. And when you fry it in vegetable oil, serve it with fries and bread, it become a high caloric nightmare. So, it's good for the planet, but what about people? Is This The Beginning, End, or Middle? As lockdowns loom once again, a CA doctor says this pandemic is just getting started. Will America buckle under the exhaustion of it's own people not following the rules? Are you getting tired of it?

Karel True Independence Inspiration : Real Independence Today's Show: Karel True Independence Inspiration ! Today, July 2, 2020 Karel talks True Independence Day and the need for Inspiration. Today is really Independence Day. The Lee Resolution was voted on and approved by Congress today in 1776. That means we declared our true independence from Great Britain today. But before we declared out true independence we needed to ratify the verbiage, the Declaration. So, Thomas Jefferson had one handy and it was printed and then read aloud and ratified on July 4. However, John Adams noted to Abigail about the day, "July 2nd will surely be one of the most historic days in the history of the American Epochia..." He was off by two days. True Independence What does true independence mean? And how does the idea of breaking free fit in to today's society? Today Karel examines how the founders and modern Americans have a lot in common. After all, the Founders had no future with Britain, and there was no America. Today the road is much the same: isolated and a country in shambles. The Founders built; we can rebuild. What the World Needs Now Love is usually the answer to the the question, but love is  nothing without inspiration. Inspiration can be the cause of great art, great policy, great change. Where are the inspiring voices today? Who is an inspiring figure? Recognizing those that inspire and drawing on their challenges can help in these uncertain times.
