Beyond spinach/greens, I haven't been doing much pureeing of late. Why not? Well, for 2 reasons:
a.) some things taste better not fully pureed.
b.) a few of my family members have been "bugging" me about my anal habit of blenderizing everything, i.e. asking me, "so how much of your dinner was food processed." i feel like they're mocking me.
it's rather funny, i confess, how much less you eat when things aren't food processed. this leads me to suspect that's why i crave a little rice. i get tired trying to extract the energy i require from pure plant food after a certain amount of chewing time.
i suspect that my D of late could strongly be related to my lack of food processing!
re: food processed mushrooms. this is so neat!!! when you food process mushrooms prior to cooking they are sososo awesome, rather like pate or meatloaf...honestly with a little spice it so very much like ground meat and yet so much better. you would not believe it. i did this a few weeks ago. now, i'm inspired!!!
i like making fake chicken gravy, i confess.

re: tryptophan & chocolate - i don't know. my cravings are very mouth-based - crunchy things, rich things, very tactile. what other foods have tryptophan in them?

for notes/rating lists re: foods & tryptophan go to the "World's Healthiest Foods" site. www.whfoods.com
if you scroll down the page a tad and look to the far right column you'll see tryptophan and click on that to lead you to more info.
what food gives me "tryptophan?" Note, it's different for all...but for me: spinach and cremini mushrooms usually does the job. i don't know why, but it's so NERVE calming and energizing and soothing. That's my personal top tryptophan combo. bananas really do it, too. asparagus, broccoli, green beans, swiss chard...and MUSHROOMS!!! Warped.
and i'm one high-strung stressed out uptight chic somedays.
of course, you might find this list totally irrelevant, silly and inapplicable.
