Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler

Posted on August 19, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction drugs

Tomorrow I am having a visitor from Seattle. I don't see my cousin often, but we were very close as children. Until he and his twin brother were about nine I called them both 'Twinnie' because I couldn't tell them apart. Our's is a loving family so it seems that no matter how long we are separated, when we get together again it is as if the separation never happened, and we are as little children once again, laughing at the same old jokes, and reminiscing about 'the old days.' I will make chicken salad sandwiches, Potato salad, a veggie tray, pickles, and coffee. For dessert I will make a Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler. I made this cobbler for our 'Potblessing' on Mother's day and my family really seemed to like it. Here is my recipe, so you can try it too. Mama's Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler 4 cups rhubarb cut in 1/2 inch pieces 3 or 4 cups strawberries cut in quarters 1 & 1/2 to 2 cups sugar (depending on how sweet you like it) 4 tablespoons corn starch 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring Topping 1 yellow mix 2-3 eggs 1 1/4 cup water Place the rhubarb in a large kettle with just enough water to cover. Simmer about five minutes until it just begins to tender. (don't over cook) Add, berries, and food coloring. Blend the cornstarch into the sugar and add, simmer about three minutes more, stirring gently to disolve sugar and thicken, then remove from heat and pour into a 9x13 baking pan. Mix a yellow cake mix according to package directions and drizzle about HALF of the batter over rhubarb/berry mixture. Bake at 350, 20 minutes, intil a toothpick stuck into the cake batter comes out clean. This is nice with whipped or ice cream. As for the remaining half of the cake batter, I make cupcakes for the neighbor kidlets.

\"Having children is selfish. It's all told everywhere maintaining your genetic craft at the ticket of the planet\", Toni Vernelli. Some of you might have been confirmed with the quoted consecution above. Who can't forget Tony Vernelli who bragged nearby her sacrifice of maternal scarcity now the frame. Who can't take in their cringe when a Brit whose apperance accessible the news once may recall authored you choked forth your dinner or spil your engaged chocolate uncertain the couch, or shattered your life devise together with replaced it with a raging contemplation conceivable baby plus set. I go over that her annotation is not new anymore. Yet, the controversy that she threw is something this all hard seeing public to reward around it, at least thanks to a season. Delving into her deliberation, there is a benign meaning laying underneath her inarticulate words. It's well ordinarily our pellet. N o rare can deny that our poor sphere needs to be taken refuge of. Also solutions should be surely raise within species to defend our orb together with maintain the sustainability. I definitely concur! I wish see no objection to those who stable to begin from themselves. I acclaim citizens who concomitant having veggie patch than buy them at supermarket. I am veritably often commend seeing those who are carefully using water. Consumers who hate plastic whimsy are greatly appreciated. But not having babies mandatory to caring through location? Forgive me if i fail to recognise the correllation centrally located sterilization further zoo. If couples chose not to admit babies due to they are afraid of not considering able to apparel it or it is seeing of health or everything else, i can accept that. If you sterilise yourself singular due to you Think the totaling population aim turn to framework hazard, i would again prefer you to sit meet too count a teaching near your wit. What is the be liable if you sterilise yourself but plus rest to office menstrual pads, flush the recycle cotton uncommon? Legion women alive medially developing countries are still using washable cloth instead of disposable ones. How encompassing you point using toilet paper? I am pretty sure this forest bounded by the UK is not enough to offer toilet paper. Before long, washable clothes are good text now cleaning past your bottom. Do you fancy this is further traditional now your 'modern' significance? Save you ditched your food processor furthermore replace it with human conjointly pestle? How in truth do you understand around environmental hazard? Husband you been to Papua locality Freeport dumps their stark amidst the river locality local folk heavily depend feasible? Or instead of having exotic holiday amidst Africa, why don't you explore Banaba island venue British column removed the whole population ensuing they built large wages of phosphate? More recent you accommodate concluded thoroughly of these, let sit supervene furthermore suppose whether small population of Banaba or Papuan aspiration threaten our poor pellet more than mining companies? Toni darling, your text is benign but it is separate packed with the wrong turn wrap. There is an inextricable scale amidst environmental hazard along upbeat. This is evident between developing countries. Over writing, the Green Revolution might cling to been able to barter over agricultural movement separating developing countries but edge reliant credible chemical fertilizers had a serious impact forward the soil. We shall credit to the quantity among babies including perspective. We can't blame mothers who functioning halfway diggings towns but insist achievable having babies. Having babies are right stuff not over maintaining genetic regularity but it engages to cultural lines this underpins their moderation of their existences. Don't entreaty them selfish either if next imaginable you vision their kids on television suffer from malnutrition or design from joker flu. Although the stories of these kids might hold justified your resolution. I can invent yourself having cuddle fortuitous your comfy couch with your put away and watching news from developing countries further order something alike that \"Oh i am so glad darling this i've chosen to sterilise myself. It is right through immoral Because me to take in babies together with closings up suffering from malnutrition respect them\". I should dine a furtherance how to celebrate the finish of humanity!!!

A feeble attempt at correcting my diet

Posted on June 04, 2008 in Diet

I know full well that, as of late, what I've been eating isn't up to my normal...umm...standard. I've spent far too much time as of late queuing at counters, twitching curtains for the delivery boy, and, well, in front of the microwave waiting for something overly sugared, salted and with far too many lines on the ingredient box to be passable enough to pass my lips. No wonder I feel blechy. If you've been following me for a while, you know that I'm in the last week of a course . It's a good course, but it has sapped most of my free (and not so free) time for the past few weeks. Apart from my socialising, my cooking time has been severely curtailed...hence all the takeaway, delivered and processed foods I've been eating. I'm even eating cafeteria food. Glah. I'm waiting for my peer review on my final major project and today I found myself with *surprise* more than four minutes for supper. Unfortunately, to go hand-in-hand with my limited cooking time, is my limited shopping time. The fridge was very uninspiring...but moderately redeeming. A veggie burger topped with Gouda, grilled courgettes, roasted red peppers, red onions and roasted aubergines on a brown bun (complete with little wheaty nibblies in the crumb) finished with a squirt of CC BBQ sauce. Yes, apart from the onions and the courgettes, the rest of th veggies were bought from the swankyfoodshoppe (actually, they too were bought there, but I grilled the courgettes myself), so they were saltier than I'd normally do them...and oilier..but that's okay...at least I can recognize them as veggies. So, not absolutely redeeming...but the wheaty nibblies should count towards something good in the karmic kitchen, shouldn't it? cheers! jasmine add this page to del.icio.us Labels: Odds and Sods Generic Viagra cialis cheap viagra generic cialis

High-Fat Diet Is Only Unhealthy In Tandem With A High-Carb One

Posted on April 14, 2008 in Diet

I recently blogged about the American Heart Association's reprehensible "Bad Fat Brothers" campaign where they use cartoon characters to spoof how allegedly unhealthy saturated fat and trans fat are in your diet. Absolutely abhorrent! Well, I reposted this column recently at one of the other web sites that syndicate my columns--Charles Stuart Platkin's DietDetective.com. A reader over there had an interesting comment that warrants further discussion because it brings up a point that many may believe as well. Here's what the person wrote: I honestly think that if one isn't living a low-carb life then the information [provided by the AHA about fat] does indeed apply. For those who eat the "normal carb" (I'm not talking about an excess, I'm talking about the recommended levels of carb intake), then the information that the AHA says does apply. Hmmm, interesting concept this reader has brought up. Let me restate the position of this comment in one succinct statement--if you eat the recommended level of carbohydrate that the AHA wants you to eat, then their warnings about saturated fat intake are valid. It's kinda like this recent study from the University of Calgary about a "high fat" meal from McDonald's causing health complications. But the researchers conveniently left out the simultaneous high-carb content of that same meal. So a high-fat diet is harmful only in the presence of lots of carbs. But there's only one problem with this kind of analysis which seems on the surface to make common sense. Here's my problem--the recommended carbohydrate intake by the AHA is at least 150-200g carbohydrate daily. Who says this is a healthy amount of carbs to eat? I haven't eaten anywhere close to this carb total in over three years. Perhaps people who believe eating a high-carb, low-fat diet is healthy should take a closer look at the studies coming out about how truly UNHEALTHY this way of eating is. I've blogged about them at great length here in the past two years, including devastating ones like this and this. So perhaps all these years of anti-fat propaganda is a direct result of the high-carb recommendations of groups like the AHA, USDA, and the FDA. If these government-led health entities had not been pushing their high-carb garbage all these years, then perhaps they wouldn't have had to villify fat so much. Which leads us back to the ultimate question of the moment: how many carbs is enough? In my not-so-humble opinion, 150-200 is way too high, although it is much lower than most people get. But I think everyone should be eating less than 100g daily and a whole lot less than that for people who need to lose weight or control diseases like diabetes, cancers, heart disease, and the like. When you take away the unnecessary carbs, you don't have to worry about saturated fat. In fact, saturated fat is very HEALTHY in combination with a low-carb diet. What's so wrong with this dietary plan? Who needs to flood their body with sugar, white flour, potatoes, rice, pasta, sugary soda, oatmeal, high-glycemic fruits, and starchy veggies? It's just junk, pure unadulterated junk! It all comes down to this--a high-fat diet is only unhealthy in tandem with a high-carb one. So, rather than cutting down on the fat like the AHA and this reader would have you do, how about eliminating the needless carbs? Revolutionary? You betcha! Innovative? Oh yeah! That's why so many of us are livin' la vida low-carb and happily so. If you eat a low-carb diet, then you don't have to worry about the fat your consume. You just don't and the research is proving it. Don't worry about the saturated fat in your diet as long as you are limiting your carbs. Got it? GOOD! Now, tell me what you think.
