Did I say Ohio? what was I thinking? too much mercury -- it's made me crazy.

Iowa, I meant. Although there's maybe a Lutheran with the real deal braunschweiger in Ohio too? There's gotta' be, somewhere.

Thanks for your fishy ideas. I’m gonna try with whatever kind of finnies we have in the freezer.

Vitamin C will definitely multiply (threefold) the (extremely low, 3%) normal availability of veggie non-heme iron, bumping it up to 9%. Adding a small amount of heme-iron source (like meat/fish/shellfish) will multiply the whole whole plateful another threefold, bumping it up to 27% availability, which is considered fah-ha-habulous.

If you’re normal.

I am, regrettably, not normal—

Duh, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, not normal -—

... and I can’t absorb non-heme iron AT ALL. So all that spinach, pumpkin seeds, and so forth, is wasted in my dubious duodenum.

Bye for now, I’m fryin’ some fish to combat my brain fog. I’m turning into a daggone radical in-iron-mentalist.
