I never had a problem with the sack, but though Wai said it is not good for the skin to eat it or is it just that it has enzyme inhibitors and won't have any negative reaction to the skin itself?

I don't remember it being enzyme inhibitors... I do remember her writing that- not eating the sack would make it easier to consume yolks over long periods, as the sack may cause some people to not want to eat yolks after a while... ??? Like the slimey-gaggy thing, which after a while you get used to. You know, I think it's years of conditioning to always cook the slimey out of the egg- example sunny side-up eggs. We've been programmed to never have any un-cooked egg! It seems funny now, after nearly a year of eating raw yolks.

Anyone ever eat okra? Talk about slimey!!!

I sometimes mix salmon with egg yolks (and a drop of OO). That works fine.

I have done the same- minus the OO. When I use the yolk for dipping, I don't mind the slitting

I read that old link and it says somewhere to add honey to hot water for a hot drink.. just wondering if this would affect the honey in any way?

I don't know.
I'm assuming the water is already hot then you add the honey and depending if honey is pure sugar, then you should be fine.

According to Wikipedia:

Typical honey analysis

* Fructose: 38%
* Glucose: 31%
* Sucrose: 1%
* Water: 17%
* Other sugars: 9% (maltose, melezitose)
* Ash: 0.17%

Source: Sugar Alliance

So it should be fine.

ok i understand

but will this have any adverse affects on your blood level; do i need to take some kind of oil before / after drinking this?

You could but it is not necessary.
If you are slowly just sipping it, then you won't feel any major blood sugar shift. But just listen to your body.

According to Souci, SW et al, honey contains 0.38% protein, which makes it an excellent munch food if heated.

Hmmm, I guess then it should NOT be fine, except as a munchfood.

Well, if the water is not THAT hot anymore (=drinkable), adding honey is ok.
