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.

However there are a few things you need to provide your little critter with for proper freshwater crayfish care. And that is a habitat.

The crayfish habitat is quite simple actually. First I suggest buying a small fish tank. A ten gallon tank is a perfect size. Then you will want to place a hideout of some sort in the tank. Like a piece of PVC or a hideout from any pet store. Continue reading “Proper Freshwater Crayfish Care”

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.

Chicken/Turkey Noodle Soup – Crafted From Leftover Turkey/Chicken Meals With Veggies & Seasoned Well

There are so many fantastic dishes to be made from leftovers, when I think of an abundant amount of leftovers, turkey and chicken seem to come to mind the most often.

Cooking and saving the natural broth from your homemade chicken or turkey adds copious amounts of flavor to soups, sauces or gravy dishes. If this option isn’t available, you can still make some really great soups with the aid of low-salt or no-salt chicken stock or low-salt chicken bouillon cubes. I actually enjoy making a combination of the two. If I don’t have quite enough chicken stock leftover for a soup I will apply what I have and in another stock pot I will bring 2-3 cups of water to boiling and add 1/2 a piece of low-salt bouillon along with the leftover chicken stock and maybe season with Kosher salt or sea salt and add more seasonings, then blend both of the warm liquids together as the base for my soup.

Smokey Vegetable Soup With Pasta Smells Good and Tastes Good

Smell has a lot to do with appetite and how much food we eat. Years ago, a friend of mine caught a terrible cold and lost his sense of smell. He didn’t lose it for a week or so, he lost it for six months. “I didn’t want to eat,” he admitted, “and had to force myself do it.”

The smoky smell of this nutritious soup will bring all family members to the kitchen. But the best thing about it is that it’s made primarily with leftovers. My refrigerator seemed to be stocked with a little of this and a little of that. Not one to waste food, I started removing food cartons from the fridge and vegetables from the bin. It was time to make soup.
