Mint Tea – Fresh From The Garden

Mint has been enjoyed as a tea for many years, both as a refreshment and as an herbal medicine. Since mint is a strong flavor, it can be used alone, or as a flavoring for tea or herbal teas. Mint is also often used as a garnish for tea, adding a fresh sprig to the top of the glass.

Peppermint is the most common mint used for tea, though spearmint and others are equally flavorful. Peppermint is known to relieve gas pains and is often used as a natural herbal cure for heartburn, stomach ache and nausea.

To use mint as a flavoring for green or black tea, add a few crushed leaves to the boiling water along with the tea and steep as usual. You can use fresh or dried leaves, and a little goes a long way. Too much mint will overpower the flavor of the tea. Continue reading “Mint Tea – Fresh From The Garden”

If you do not have the proper sanitizer available, a certain “secret” common household item will suffice. Please read on to find out how you can keep your guests safe!

Our web community for business flight attendants can be frequently found discussing proper food handling and food safety tips. One lively discussion a few years back surrounded the proper way of cleaning a cutting board. Might I add that the food preparing area of the typical business jet galley is about the size of a two-by-four? Thus, food can easily get into contact with the wrong products if extra care is not taken.

In the conversation, one of our members remarked that she had cleaned her cutting board with Windex. Well, the ensuing responses to her comment nearly caused an online riot as many of our veteran fliers responded by emphatically stating that products such 409, Fantastik, and Windex can all be harmful if ingested. These and similar products contain high levels of white spirits or similar type toxins, something you never want your guests to come in contact with. These products typically carry warning labels that say something like the following, “Do not ingest even in small quantities. Non-food safe.” Continue reading “Windex and Food: Imperfect Together!”

The Crayfish Habitat

Crayfish are pretty low maintenance. They don’t need much and are easy to take care of… And this is probably the main reason why I like them so much. Plus mine is blue.

A Little More Unknown Facts About Cowhides

It is not a common known fact that Hair On Cowhides derive from the Food Chain industry. Most every cow hide comes from either Argentina or Brazil, the two leading countries that are known to produce the finest quality cow hides in the world, also supplying the world with majority of our meat.

We are proud to kind of “recycle” what is left of this industry and transform it into a usable and decorative item. Hide tanning, which is one of the oldest processing industries from ancient times, when man naturally used the hides for warmth and clothing after having used the animal’s flesh for nutrition and survival purposes, is the process in which the hide is changed into a soft pliable desirable product. When done properly this will strengthen the hide and helps to keep the natural hairs from falling out due to wear. The Hide-tanning process does not leave behind any unnatural smells of chemicals or dyes when done properly. At the same time, it is important to comprehend, that we are in the presence of a totally Natural Product. These cowhides are not made of a synthetic fiber or natural cloth, Continue reading “A Little More Unknown Facts About Cowhides”

10 Lessons We Can Learn From Honeybees

We can learn many things by observing the behaviour of honeybees. Here are ten examples of lessons we could usefully apply to our own lives.

1) Honeybees live within their means. There are no banks, loans or credit cards in the bees’ world; only the resources they themselves gather and store. Like us, bees need to eat every day, and they do everything in their power to ensure a constant food supply by storing it – not so much for themselves, but for bees yet to be born.

2) Honeybees achieve extraordinary things by working together. Fifty thousand workers can shift a lot of stuff. Co-operation is the key to their success: tens of thousands of individuals behaving as a single organism.

3) Honeybees demonstrate that division of labour can be highly efficient. And everyone knowing how to do the full range of essential jobs makes for flexibility and adaptability. Bees move through a series of jobs in the hive before finally emerging as food-gatherers. In an emergency, they can revert to their former occupations to make up for losses.

Colloidal Silver Immune Support – Snake Oil or Supplement

Colloidal silver has exploded on the web as a supplement, heralded as a cure all, and cursed by some officials that seem to be motivated by the large pharmaceuticals.

Colloidal silver was used as a natural antibiotic prior to the discovery of penicillin. The new antibacterial agent was the drug of favor worldwide. Colloidal silver was shoved to the back of medical consciousness and found little use after 1929. But wait, the medical world did not stop using silver. The overwhelming healing qualities of silver are continued even now in the world’s burn centers and millions of babies have had a silver concentrate flushed into their eyes immediately after birth.

So if this natural antibiotic was once used so widely, why did the physicians stop using it? Did bacteria develop a resistance to colloidal silver? Did it stop working? The answer seems to be a pharmaceutical decision. No resistance was developed to colloidal silver by bacteria and the benefits are as good today as they were prior to 1929.

Chicken Soup With Chinese Herbs Recipe

Chicken soup has been used as a folk remedy for respiratory illnesses for a long time. In 2000, the scientific exploration of this claim began and has continued. Wikipedia reports, “Chicken soup has long been touted as a form of folk medicine to treat symptoms of the common cold and related conditions. In 2000, scientists at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha studied the effect of chicken soup on the inflammatory response in vitro. They found that some components of the chicken soup inhibit neutrophil migration, which may have an anti-inflammatory effect that could hypothetically lead to temporary ease from symptoms of illness.[1] However, since these results have been obtained from purified cells (and directly applied), the diluted soup in vivo effect is debatable. The New York Times reviewed the University of Nebraska study, among others, in 2007 and concluded that “none of the research is conclusive, and it’s not known whether the changes measured in the laboratory really have a meaningful effect on people with cold symptoms.”[2].”1

Chicken soup is one of my favorite things to cook. The recipe below is meant to make a large pot of soup. It is a living recipe in the sense that the basic format stays the same but I will often rotate ingredients in or out of it. When I feel like more green vegetables I am likely to add bok choi or zuccini. Sometimes I add fingerling or yukon-gold potatoes. I often make a wild rice blend separately and add it to the finished product. Part of the fun of cooking this soup for me is the experimental factor.
