There is natural ink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ink I didn't question this, that is why I suggested henna which is itself a reddish dye. Except henna is derived from a henna plant and has been used as natural hair/skin dye for >thousand years , just not sure about your average felt tip pen is all...

Yes I was just searching for my "natural" felt tip pens, they must be around here somewhere!

Hello, I don't think there is a natural way to colour hair. It's a sort of contradiction of terms. Some people use henna but long term it makes the hair dry out. It all sort of depends on the colour you are trying to achieve? If you want lighter hair I find the longer you grow it and the more time s...

Aioli (aside from the Provençal dish) is a variation on mayonnaise, sort of garlic mayonnaise I guess. Wasn't really sure you meant that. :) Lol again :D, I knew you'd correct me somehow. Did you ever see the advert for Nestle chocolate Smarties? The catch phrase was 'only Smarties have the answer'...

Yeah, also mayonnaise (officially) contains raw egg yolks. ;) Lol :D ailioli is mayonnaise, homemade. The bought variety you buy here always says 'pasteurised egg/egg yolk'. As a munch food its still pretty low in protein though and v. satisfying as Wai said; it helped me conquer cravings in the be...

Rats (and there have even been some primate studies) live longer when giving there normal amount of calories but are only fed every other day. This means if they are given x calories they get 2x every other day. Interesting. I heard on the radio about research conducted in this area. According to o...

I don't know about Brazil nuts, but I posed the same question to a fruit/veg vendor with regards to in shell walnuts. He told me that you can buy 'wet walnuts' which have a fairly short shelf life but are not at all heat treated or the other variety which have been slowly dried in an oven. These bot...

I don't think using lemon juice with fish is harmful; it doesn't heat the fish. I'm sure you and Oscar are right - it's just that you don't heat egg yolks when you stir them vigorously or whip them up, but it still alters the protein structure and the book says not to? I guess I just assumed it was...

Sorry, typo, it is 2.49 - every penny counts, could mean an extra grape...

To my knowledge you need to eat fish everyday. Make sure you don't create protein deficiency as this may cause acne. If your having problems eating fish try a white fish (sea bass, tilapia) and add lemon juice. V. tasty. Hmm, I thought I could eat egg yolks instead? Maybe ideally I could eat a litt...

The OJ at Tesco is about £1.89 per litre BUT it has 'bits' in it, not good. Does the M&S OJ have 'bits' in it? There are variations depending on what is seasonal. Currently it is described as 'freshly squeezed Valencia orange juice - SMOOTH'. It is basically smooth but I definitely detect some bits...

The thing is, my freshly squeezed OJ goes off after 1 1/2 - 2 days. So if this Tesco Unpasteurized OJ has a shelf life a lot longer than this then it doesn't really seem right. Maybe they create a vacuum in the packaging or something...will check it out over the next few days. To be honest, juicing...

Thank you for the reply :) . One more thing though, If you do intensive sports is it better to eat a bit more before or immediately afterwards? I only buy fish once a week and on a Wednesday I do particularly intensive sports (for me that is- I'm not very sporty). I could eat the fish the night befo...

okay, okay I get it. I was reading it differently.
