It's a funny old world, things go in and out of fashion and it's said to be the doom of man that he forgets (I like that one!). One thing that fits into this pattern is the consumption of raw foodstuffs, back in the day it was ALL we could do!! Yet now it's seems to be viewed as a new and healthy trend. Chew on that for a while, there is really very little out there in the dietary world that we have not already done, got bored of, forgotten about then had come back as the latest trendy thing to do.

Reading this may mean you are interested in raw food consumption, and good on you! Fresh food eaten raw can literally make your day! It's also one of the simplest of techniques to master; you need a few good tools and a little imagination.

The principal behind raw food consumption is simple: raw food is intact, all the fragile nutrients are present and none of it's "life force" is lessened by processing. It's bonkers when you ponder that most of our food takes days, weeks or even months to reach us from the moment it leaves the soil or is plucked from it's branch. Then the first thing we do is heat treat it!! Cooking as we know it undoubtedly lessens the nutrient potential of fruit and vegetables. As does heat treatments like pasteurizing, or freezing and excessive delay in food reaching our plates (food miles).

So what do we need to eat raw? Strictly nothing more than our teeth, but to spice things up and broaden what we can make a few benchmark tools are required! A Single auger juicer will allow you to juice, grind, mince, and make sauce, importantly you much choose a slow turning machine, as high speed juicers introduce heat and oxygen (two destroyers of nutrients). A powerful blender will add smoothies, milks and more to your menu. Think of a dehydrator as a low temperature oven than gives your fruit and vegetables a shelf life but without lessening the nutrient value too seriously, a dehydrator in your kitchen will allow you to make all sorts of snacks and goodies and make sure nothing goes to waste!

We think that live natural food creates lively natural people. Next time you're in the queue at a burger bar you too may feel, as we do, that we are on set of a zombie movie! Find a juice bar or whole food cafe and compare the buzz!!

In conclusion then we are cellular beings, what I mean by that is nothing hokey it simply means that we are make up of billions of cells, these cells are constantly replicating, dying off, fighting disease and doing thousands of other functions on our behalf. Cells are like miniature factories, then need raw material, and they produce waste materials, we think the best raw materials you can give yourself is a fresh raw "living" diet!

The most popular form of entertaining a gathering seems to be outdoor barbecue. Basically there are two types of grill for the choice of a barbecue chef. This includes gas barbecue grill and charcoal barbecue grill. The gas barbecue grill is quite expensive but it is convenient to use. Most of the gas grills are easy to assemble and also simple to operate and easy to clean.

The taste of the food prepared using the charcoal grills will be better than that prepared using gas grills. The reason is that the gas grill can not give the smoky flavor to the food which is produced by the charcoal grills. If you want to cook in a bulk the gas grill will be convenient.

The charcoal grills will be a better option for cooking less quantity of food and it is easy to transfer too. The charcoal grills are less expensive as well. There are some disadvantages for charcoal grills. In a rainy day it will be difficult to light the grills and also to keep it lit till the end of cooking. After igniting the grills one has to wait till the flames die out and the coals are hot.

The food may get burnt easily soon since it is difficult to control the heat. The charcoal has to get cooled down completely before cleaning the grills. This may take hours and one will have to wait till that. When charcoal grill is used grease, ash and charcoal will be formed. Removal of these ashes for cleaning the grill can be messy. After each use the coal has to be disposed.

Gas grills are easy to ignite. The heat of the grill can be controlled easily, so there is no need of worrying about burning of the food. The gas grills may have more than one burner which can be operated independently. This helps in simultaneous cooking of different food stuffs which require different cooking temperatures. Another main advantage is of cleaning with less toil.

The selection of gas grills can be done based on the size and shape of the grill. The main drawback of the gas grill is that the smoky flavor is not obtained in this. Comparatively the gas grill is costly. It requires more space also since it is bigger than the charcoal grills.

Points to be considered to make effective use of out door barbecue are:

1) Check whether there is adequate fuel.

2) Charcoal should be stored in a dry place.

3) The cooking time and fuel used will be more when outdoor barbecue will be in cold or gusty weather.

4) Place barbecue in a direction of the wind away from the crowd.

5) Spray some vegetable oil over the grill before lighting it.

6) Small pieces can be placed in skewers.

7) All the things needed for grilling should be assembled in a tray before starting. This includes the tools, utensils and raw ingredients.

8) If the outdoor barbecue is lit once, do not leave it unattended.

A Healthy Menu for your Birthday Party

Your Birthday Party does not necessarily mean that you need to binge on junk food on that day. You and your guests can have healthy and tasty food and enjoy it, as everything depends on the preparation. Normally the food served at birthday parties are candy, chips and dips, soda and cake. You can go for an innovative menu that will be kind to your friends, family and everyone you care about.

Treat Yourself Better on Special Occasions
We need to use the knowledge that we learn from health articles and apply them to our lives, so that we can make life-style changes. The choice is ours, whether we would like to continue with junk food or go for a diet that is kind to our bodies, particularly on special occasions. In fact, we need to be kinder to ourselves on special occasions.Firstly, we need to choose foods that have some nutritional value - if it has none at all, we are doing a disservice to ourselves. Making a change on special occasions by providing a menu that is not only healthy and nutritious, but also tasty and scrumptious, will be an eye-opener to all friends and children alike.

Healthy Cooking Ideas
It is not difficult to come up with a healthy menu. Why go for onion dips that are fattening - why not go in for low fat yogurt instead, and have fresh strawberries, bananas and apples as a fruit for the dip. Apart from being healthy, it is also delicious. The usual hamburgers, pizzas and hot dogs that are thrown in at birthday parties can be substituted with tasty turkey sandwiches and an unusual salad. This would cut out the junk food.

Now, we come to the dessert, which needs to be carefully thought out, as children love desserts and cake. Instead of piling up the fat on the cake with creamy icing, you would do well to go for a low fat dessert. You could either make or get a low fat cake, and use yogurt instead of butter, margarine and other fatty ingredients. The cake will be equally tasty and nutritious. It could be decorated with chocolate strawberries, which will be popular with kids and adults alike. Jello can be made in different shapes which again is popular with kids. There are so many juices in all flavors to choose from, which can be frozen. This is another popular item with kids.The list is endless - all it requires is a little imagination and time to create a delicious spread. It is true that the easier way is to order pizzas and cake, but with that extra effort and care, you can turn that birthday party around to make it a wonderful spread that is healthy, enjoyable and delicious.

Natural health is timeless. It will never date. It will always be relevant, despite what the media tells you about 'new', 'improved', 'scientific' and all the other gimmicky words that are only employed to impress you enough to buy something.

And, happily, natural health is currently enjoying the comeback it deserves. To enjoy it, there are at least three really important aspects to address.

The first is your diet. There's a saying that a quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. Three quarters of what you eat keeps your doctor alive. So if you eat a typical western diet of fast foods, canned drinks and sweets or chocolate, you know you're heading for disaster.

A natural diet consists of lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, preferably raw. Raw isn't essential, but will take you that extra mile. As long as at least 30% is raw, you'll do all right. By raw I mean unpasteurised, unheated in any way, un-radiated, unadulterated. Just fresh produce recently harvested.

So fresh produce should be the bulk of your diet. If you can't see yourself eating a lot of fresh produce, then I suggest you invest in a food dehydrator. That dries fresh food without losing the nutrients in them. Have you ever tried dried strawberries? They are absolutely delicious.

I'm sure you'll enjoy making your own unsundried tomatoes, too. And try foods you haven't tried before. My neighbour has never tried avocado and yet they could grow in her back yard. Be adventurous!

The next biggest food group is the nuts, seeds, rice, oats and yogurt. Then come eggs, bread, wheat, cereal, fish, chicken, chocolate. Then comes the red meat. Lastly comes artificial sweeteners. My suggestion is to avoid these altogether.

This diet follows the 80/20 principle. Eat 80% alkalising foods (fruit, veggies, whole foods) and only 20% acid food (meat, sugar, processed foods such as white bread, white pasta, white rice, sweets).

If you maintain this diet, it's amazing what ailments won't affect you. Make sure 100% of what you eat goes into keeping you healthy, not just alive. And let the doctors starve!

Another really important aspect of natural health is your health care modality. Obviously that's going to be a natural one. Which you choose is a very personal matter. But I suggest you remain open and honour your feelings. Your feelings will always take you in the right direction. I have long since learnt the folly of following my head over my feelings. It never works!

With evidence now suggesting a link between taking antibiotics and cancer, your choice of a natural health care system will ensure as healthy a body as you can get. All drugs and medication have a knock-on effect with your health. That's why it becomes a slippery slope - you suddenly find you're on a myriad of drugs, with one countering another's side effects.

The last important point of natural health, is keeping your environment healthy. This will almost guarantee you a healthy body. This means your home really is your castle, your sanctuary. Make sure you create a peaceful and happy home. Work on areas that aren't. Don't put up with them. It may be your upbringing that makes you a negative person. It may be you are living with people who don't support you. List those things that aren't nurturing you and decide what to do about them.

Time spent with animals is invariably calming, as is time spent in nature. Visit the park regularly. Walk on the beach. Watch a thunderstorm. Make sure you have, even if short, time for yourself every day. And use it to recharge your batteries - whether it's gardening, sun-bathing or walking your dog. Just make sure it benefits you. That without it, you're more volatile, have less energy or just don't cope as well.

Many people think they can't have time out for themselves as they have too much to do. This is not how it works. The more you stress, the less you accomplish. The less you stress, the more you accomplish and in less time.

Natural health is really all about you being in control of you. You create your life. So why not make it as fun, as joyful as possible? You are important. If you're joyful, it will rub off on others. Maybe subscribe to a natural health magazine as that will not only help keep you on track, but will also provide you with useful hints and tips.

And lastly, don't forget that people will readily mock you, with your new found natural health care, because you'll be showing them up. Don't let them dissuade you.

Madeleine Innocent has been a homeopath, a natural health therapist, since 2000. She treats both people and animals. She has been writing about homeopathy and natural health since 1997. Madeleine is passionate about promoting the benefits of natural health care, in particular homeopathy. As a result, she now writes free, weekly eletters on these topics.

Many people from around the world enjoy the light flavor of chamomile tea. If you enjoy drinking the tea, you might be interest to know it is easy to grow your own chamomile.

Combine Gardening with Tea Drinking

Even if you are a beginner gardener, growing chamomile is easy. Start by buying some seeds from a local merchant. If you cant find any stores near you, there are many online seed stores to order from.

The seeds are very small, and can be scattered in a small area of your garden. Lightly rake the soil to cover them or cover with a thin layer of fine soil. Water and keep the soil slightly moist while the seeds germinate.

Chamomile grows well in North America. It can grow in relatively dry climates with a little watering. The plant doesnt grow very tall usually 24 inches is the tallest height. It can be used as ground cover or to fill in areas where you need a low lying plant.

Picking the Flowers

The flowers are bright yellow and slightly cone shaped. The blooms start out small and can grow up to a third of an inch across. To make tea, you need to pick the blooms before they seed. Once they turn a dull yellowish grey color, they have gone to seed. The seeded flowers dont have to go to waste keep the seeds to plant again next year.

After youve picked a fair amount, wash to get rid of any loose dirt. Shake off the excess water. You can air dry the flowers by putting them in a dry place in the house for several days. Covering lightly with cheesecloth can help keep dust off while they dry. If youd like the process to go faster, you can put them in the oven for several hours on a low heat. You dont want to bake them, just make the drying go faster. A food dehydrator is another way to speed up the drying process.

Chamomile makes a beautiful addition to the garden with the reward of providing you with your own, home grown tea.

Mary Bell's Complete Dehydrator Cookbook

A guide to food dehydrating shows readers how to make preservative-free dried apple rings, candied apricots, beef and fish jerkies, sun-dried tomatoes, corn chips, herb seasonings, dried fruit sugars, and more. 100,000 first printing. Tour.

French chefs plunge them into boiling water; English ones, in an attempt to appear more humane, drive kitchen knives through their skulls before doing the same thing.

No wonder the miserable creatures go red. Theyre mad as hell. What a way to treat the king of crustaceans.

Lets make a pact. From now on lets treat the lobster with the respect (and humanity) it deserves. Heres how:

Use a pan deep enough to hold 6 liters of salted water to which you have added some shredded onion, a garlic clove or two and a bay leaf. Purists who live by the sea also like to add a pint of seawater. People like me, whove seen what gets washed up as a result of coastal run-off, dont.

Put a trivet or round roasting rack in the bottom of the pan, on which you will place the lobster. You do this so that it is not touching the bottom of the pan and will not be burnt as the metal heats up.

Does this improve the flavor? No, its purely for the comfort of the lobster.

So, this is what you have a pan of cold brine, seasoned, in which a lobster sits on a trivet as happy as a sand boy. How do I know this? Because lobsters have two states of being theyre either happy or theyre dead.

Now, using a gentle heat, gradually raise the temperature of the water to around 90F, at which point the lobster will be fast asleep and sweetly dreaming. It will never wake up.

You can now turn up the heat until the water reaches a gentle simmer and cook the lobster for around 8 minutes a pound.

Drain and plunge into iced water. Let it cool in there before draining again and transferring to the fridge until needed.

The lobster will reward you for this kindness by being succulent and tender. It wont be stuffed with adrenalin and its meaty fibers will not have contracted into something resembling India rubber.
The next step is to cut the lobster in half and to clean it.

Lay it on its back and use a strong, very sharp, knife to cut it in half from tail to head. You will easily see the stomach bag at the back of the head and the blackish gut running the length of the body. Remove these and discard.

You may also, if you wish, discard the greenish liver, although aficionados hold this to be a delicacy. Its certainly edible, but personally I chuck it because I dont like the color.

And thats it. You can now serve your lobster cold with some freshly made mayonnaise, or indulge in one of the more fanciful hot dishes for which some restaurants have become famous.

Nesco Clean-a-Screen for Dehydrator Item# 168605, Model# LM-2-6

Prohibition marked a unique period in American history. Between 1920 to 1933, the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol for consumption were banned nationally as mandated by the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Temperance movements throughout the U.S. during the 19th century brought about significant pressure on lawmakers and some states had already enacted statewide prohibition prior to the ratification of the 18th Amendment.

However, as the Great Depression wore on, Prohibition became increasingly unpopular, especially in the large cities. When repeal was finally enacted in 1933, Prohibition had brought about several notable effects: The first was the significantly lower number of breweries that re-opened - only half - than had existed prior to Prohibition. Wine historians point out that the Prohibition affected the fledgling U.S. wine industry as thicker-skinned grapes that could be easily transported replaced wine-quality grape vines. Lost too was the collective knowledge of wine makers who either emigrated to other wine-producing countries, or left the wine making business altogether. The post-Prohibition period, however, saw the introduction of the American lager style of beer, which dominates today. Most interestingly is the belief by some historians that the alcohol industry accepted stronger regulation of alcohol in the decades after the repeal, to reduce the return of Prohibition.

Benefits of the Three-Tier System

Following the repeal of Prohibition, a three-tier system of alcohol distribution was set up in the United States. The three tiers are producers, distributors, and retailers. A producer sells to a distributor who must sell only to a retailer. According to the Beer Institute, each state has created a three-tier system of beer distribution. Producers can include brewers, wine makers, distillers, and importers. The distributor tier is made up of more than 2,500 licensed businesses that store and deliver beer at the local level. The retail level represents hundreds of thousands of outlets that sell beer to the public.

The three-tier system enables states to track the actual movement of beer from the producers and importers to consumers through licensing requirements and legal obligations on companies who transport, deliver and sell beer. This system of checks and balances eliminates the economic incentive for illegal manufacturing, diversion and distribution of beer. Finally, consumers benefit from the healthy competition and facilitation of a wide selection of brands in the marketplace - from big-name breweries to specialized, small-batch operations.

Central to the system are America's beer distributors. Typically, producers give distributors exclusive rights to market their product within a geographical region to restrict two distributors of the same product from competing against one another. An important link to sustaining America's beverage licensees in every state, distributors add value to every product handle. For instance, every $1 spent on beer distribution generates .25 cents in federal tax revenue and nearly .14 cents in state and local taxes. Distributors help raise more than $5.2 billion in federal state excise taxes on the product itself.

Beer distributors also help businesses grow by reducing expenses and expanding profitability. In total, distributors reduce retailer operating costs by nearly $50 for every $1,000 spent on beer by consumers. For example, a store chain comprised of 1,000 stores can realize a saving of $17,318,007 in retailer costs. Those savings can be reinvested by retailers into job creation, business expansion, and customer savings. In addition to benefiting retailers, the economic contributions of distributors also reaches packaging manufacturers, shipping companies, and the agricultural sector.

This system of checks and balances also extends to the community. The brewing industry spends more than $50 million annually promoting responsible consumption through a variety of efforts aimed at servers, parents, teachers, and communities. For example, CITY Beverage-Chicago, an Anheuser-Busch distributor, sponsors the "Street Smart" program in Chicago-area high schools. The programs are strategically timed for the period immediately before the high risk season of proms and graduations.

A short peek at a favorite appliance store is enough to turn any techie gaga over the new technological advancements that are continuously coming up in the market. And as easily as these technological gadgets come up to replace old, obsolete ones, the more tempted we are to acquire them as fast as they come.

Unfortunately, new technologies and new appliances in our home does not run on nothing. They run on electricity, which furthermore, runs on money! Needless to say, the more technologies we have in our homes, the higher our electric bills. This is not to say that an average homeowner should simply give up on the joys and the perks of a bountiful entertainment room or of dining on hot, home-cooked meals prepared with state-of-the-art kitchen appliances. However, one must realize that it is all a matter of knowing when and how to use these home technologies and appliances.

Since its impossible for one person to be in two rooms at the same time, watching two different television shows at the same time, turn off all unused or unnecessary devices. Unless you are living with your kids who each have their own televisions, computers and other devices in their rooms, this energy-saving tip is quite simple to follow. This tip goes the same for water heaters, heaters or air conditioning systems. If you want bath-ready water or warm, cozy place to come home to after a tiring day at work, heaters and water heaters can easily be programmed to turn on automatically an hour or a few minutes before you arrive home. This way, you can avoid keeping heaters and water heaters on all day when there is no immediate need for you to do so.

Creativity can also come in handy when conserving on electricity. On warmer days, it doesnt hurt to open windows and let fresh air in. And if you have not heard of candles, learn the word. Dinners for two can also be made extra special on coal-grilled barbecues in the backyard and two sticks of good ol candles.

The possibilities of saving on home energy are simply endless with a little help from everyone in your home and with a little touch of creative conservation. And the best part? You dont have to sacrifice luxury and convenience to save on home energy after all!

Colon Health by Dr. Norman Walker

Colon Health by Dr. Norman Walker Features & SpecificationsColon Health by Dr. Norman Walker Book DescriptionColon Health will take this forgotten part of your body and focus your full attention on it--and you'll never again take it for granted. This book shows how every organ, gland, and cell in the body is affected by the condition of the large intestine.About the AuthorDr. Norman Walker is the longest-lived, widely-known raw-foodist of the modern era. Thousands upon thousands of people credit Dr. Walker's live-vegetable-juice therapy for healing them of "incurable" diseases, including Jay Kordich, known to the world as "The Juiceman." When Jay Kordich had cancer, he met and was tremendously inspired by Dr. Walker. After healing himself of cancer through The Raw-Food Diet and juice therapy, Jay worked with Dr. Walker beginning in the 1940s up until Dr. Walker's death in the mid-80's at an age of well over 100.For more than 100 years, Norman W. Walker, Ph.D., proved through research and experience that well-being and long life go hand-in-hand. Through the non-stop activities of raw-food enthusiasts, such as Nature's First Law, modern day nutritionists and medical researchers are finally discovering the raw truths which Dr. Walker knew and taught throughout the twentieth century. Dr. Walker was living proof that a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life is achieved through The Raw-Food Diet, mental poise, and intelligent body care. Dr. Walker's contributions to the common heritage of humankind began before the turn of the century in London, where as a young man he became seriously ill due to over-work and stress. Unable to accept a sentence of ill-health and early death, Dr. Walker healed himself with living foods and vegetable juices. Among Dr. Walker's greatest contributions was his discovery of the therapeutic value of fresh vegetable juices and in 1930, the development of what would become known as the Norwalk Press Juicer. The present "juicing" craze is direct

A popular summer staple, the tomato is a fruit that is served as a vegetable. Few summer flavors can beat the taste of an excellent tomato on a salad or hamburger or in a sandwich. Tomatoes can come in red, yellow, green, purple, brown, and even striped verities.

The tomato plant is an herbaceous, sprawling plant that is part of the nightshade family. Close cousins of the plant include tobacco, chili peppers, potatoes, and eggplants. As the tomato is a part of the nightshade family, for many years people avoided eating the fruit. They avoided the fruit because a number of plants in the nightshade family are extremely poisonous. In the 20th century, this idea began to change in the United States.

The plant is native to Central America, southern North America, and South America. This gives the plant a native range spanning from Mexico to Argentina. To grow well, tomato plants require a minimum of 6 hours of sun a day.

The tomato was originally brought to Europe by Spanish explorers. The idea of eating the fruit did not take on quickly because of its association with nightshade. The tomato is a fruit in the botanical sense but lacks the dessert quality sweetness of other fruits. Because of this, it is more commonly prepared as a vegetable. The tomato is sweet but is accompanied by a bitter, acidic taste. When cooking the tomato, the heating process tempers the bitterness and allows the sweetness to come out in more flavor.

As the tomato tastes great on sandwiches, in salads, or sliced, it is a great summer food. The food is a good source vitamins A and C as well as a number of antioxidants. The lycopene found in the fruit is excellent for a person's heart making cooked tomatoes an excellent food if one is trying to be heart healthy.

When growing tomato plants, there are two broad categories, indeterminate and determinate. Determinate plants grow to a certain height and then stop. They then flower and produce all of their fruit within a relatively short time. This is a great type of plant to grow if trying to can tomatoes but isn't the best type if you want a summer of tomatoes to enjoy once a week, or so. Indeterminate plants grow, flower, and set their fruit over a longer period of time. They basically grow in stages. This is the best type of plant to get if the goal is to have a tomato a week.

Raw foodism (also called rawism) is based on eating un-cooked, un-processed, and often organic food. Believers feel the higher the percentage of raw food in the diet, the greater the health benefits. Many raw food eaters are vegan, and don't eat any meat, fish, or dairy products but others eat raw meat and fish. By the way, when these people say raw they means food that hasn't been cooked higher than 115 F (46 C), some put the limit at 104 F (40 C).

Raw food followers believe that eating uncooked foods encourages weight loss and prevents or heals many illnesses and chronic diseases. The medical evidence is mixed. To inject a personal note, as a college student I breakfasted on raw eggs which I downed with a glass of water. My objective was to save time, I don't even know if the movement existed in those days. I wouldn't eat raw eggs today because I think they are filthy and might transmit illnesses. By the way, I am not a doctor or other health-care professional.

Some raw food vegans are fruitarians, juicearians, or sproutarians. Fruitarians eat primarily or exclusively fruits. Juicearians process their raw plant foods into juice. Sproutarians eat primarily or exclusively sprouted food, such as bean sprouts. Alleged benefits of a raw vegan diet include weight loss, increased energy, clear skin, and general health improvement.

Raw animal food includes meat, cheese, and fish. Raw meat eaters should seek out grass-fed animals which according to many studies have a greatly reduced risk of bacteria than do grain-fed animals. Furthermore grass-fed meat contains more nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and Omega-3 fatty acids than does grain-fed meat.

If you are going to get involved in raw food you may want to invest in the following equipment: blender, food processor, juicer, and dehydrator. Some people will eat frozen food, others will not. Some of them will eat smoked food, others will not. And some distinguish between cold-smoked and hot-smoked food. Be careful, there are clear dangers in eating some raw foods such as kidney beans and unpeeled potatoes.

Here are some of the alleged benefits of raw foods. Raw foods contain digestive enzymes that are destroyed when food is heated beyond the temperature range listed above. Destroying these enzymes is said to be a cause of obesity. Raw foods contain useful bacteria and other microorganisms that aid the immune system and digestion. Raw foods have higher nutrient values than cooked food. Processed food contains all kinds of chemicals that are bad for us. (I certainly agree with that.) Cooked foods may contain toxins and can lead to acidosis. On the other hand, food poisoning from eating raw or undercooked food is a definite possibility. Believe it or not, even jalapeno peppers can host dangerous microorganisms. Many raw food eaters are underweight, while this may sound tempting to those who are trying to lose weight but being underweight can be a health problem.

Levi Reiss has authored or co-authored ten books on computers and the Internet, but to be honest, he would rather just drink fine Italian, French, or other wine, accompanied by the right foods and spend time with his wife and family.

Just Jerky : The Complete Guide to Making It

Here's the do-it-yourself guide to making your own jerky in an oven, smoker, or food dehydrator with strips or ground beef, venison, poultry, fish and even soy protein.

To begin your search for Christmas decorations just head outside. Take a trip with the family to the mountains, lake, park, river, or your own property, to search the ground for fallen branches and twigs. Pick up pinecones, acorns, seedpods, late blooming wildflowers, and fallen leaves. Sprigs of cedar, pine tree, and douglas fir are choices as well. The best thing about these green decorations is that they leave the green in your wallet.

Once you get your findings home, begin the decorating. Fill bowls, boots, baskets, stockings, buckets, wine glasses, or anything else you can think of, with your findings. Hang stockings from the mantel and fill them with greens and pinecones so they stick out the top and spill over. Fill wine glasses with tiny pinecones, greens, and cranberries, and place them on the table or mantle. Make wreaths and boughs with your greens and embellish with bows and large pinecones. Hang wreaths on the front door and windows while placing boughs on the mantel or above doorways.

If you own a dehydrator, this can come in handy to make dried fruit to use in your decorations. Slice apples and oranges and place them in the dehydrator. Slice them about 1/3 inch thick and make sure to leave the peel in tact. Slice them in half and continue slicing in the same fashion. These fruit slices can be used in potpourri, garlands, to decorate wreaths, to place in bowls, tie to Christmas gifts, the ideas are endless.

Fill a wooden bowl or antique wooden trough with nuts in their shells. Use hazel nuts, brazil nuts, almonds, and so on. Place the bowl on the coffee table and surround the bowl with your greens and pinecones. Place a couple of candles with candlesticks on either end of the bowl and light the candles when guests arrive.

Make gingerbread and sugar cookies cut out in Christmas shapes and decorate them with frosting and embellishments like gumdrops, raisins, m & ms, and jelly beans. Place your homemade cookies in bowls around the house to welcome guests. Send your guests home with little goodie bags filled with cookies and nuts. Tie the bags with ribbons and attach your dried fruit to the ribbons.

If you want to try one of the most well known diets around, consider the raw food diet.

Although the diet is exactly as it sounds, there is much more to this diet to know. It is all about understanding why proponents are so dedicated to a raw diet. Hopefully by the time you finish this article, you will have a good sense of what the raw food diet is and what results people report when they follow this style of eating.

Eating only raw foods might be the hot thing right now, but it is hardly new. It actually dates back to prehistoric times, before prehistoric man began cooking with fire. In more modern times, it really began its current day popularity rise in the early 1900s, when proponents Herbert Shelton and Ann Wigmore argued that a raw diet is the ideal one for humans.

Other proponents over the years have included Artturi Virtanen, who said that enzymes released when someone chews raw food are processed in the body in a way that aids digestion.

In 1984, the book 'The New Raw Energy' by Leslie Kenton started the rise of the current raw food diet.

Today, more and more people say they are trying to eat raw foods, following in the footsteps of popular celebrities like Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson.

Now, when we say raw food, we are not suggesting you throw a raw steak on your plate and enjoy that with a salad. Raw food advocates are also vegetarians, so we are not talking about raw meat here. People who eat a raw food diet eat primarily a diet consisting of raw nuts, seeds and sprouted seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables, freshly squeezed or juiced fruit and vegetable juices, purified water, unpasteurized dairy products and other foods that are free of processing and chemicals.

Most raw food advocates try to keep to a diet that is 75% raw, with the only processed foods being fruit and vegetables that are dried in a food dehydrator. Those following this eating plan say that food should never be heated hotter than 116 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the temperature at which a food dehydrator works.

Now, you have to assume that if people follow this kind of stringent eating plan, there is something in it for them, right? Many claim that eating this way is the best possible way to eat and cite many benefits of a raw food diet:

1 - Reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes

2 - More energy and vibrancy

3 - Better skin and slow signs of aging

4 - Reduction of a variety of digestive ailments

5 - Healing of illness and reduction in chronic diseases

6 - Weight loss and easy weight maintenance

Experts say that if you plan to begin a raw food diet, you should follow a plan designed by a doctor or expert in the field of raw food diets. It is very hard to get the right mix of nutrients, experts say, so following a prescribed eating plan ensures you get enough calcium and protein, in particular.

Hopefully, you have an idea of how the raw food diet works and have enough information to help you decide if the diet is right for you.

It may not be the right diet for everyone, but as with anything, it is worth a try if you are interested. If anything, it is a healthy eating plan that anyone with an interest in improving health naturally can try.

4. Green tea lowers the risk of high blood pressure, which is the main culprit of serious cardiovascular troubles.

7. Green tea refreshes the body as the muscles are soothed and the blood is properly circulated.

8. Green tea fights off food poisoning. This kind of tea is known to sterilize every food intake, thus possessing the knack to destroy bacteria which may be the main cause of food poisoning.

If you wish to have a wonderful time with your date in the town, then a Italian restaurant is the best place to go to. Italian foods are always romantic and below are some pointers to pick a fine restaurant.

It is important to choose the place serving authentic Italian food; else your date might end up looking cheap. How can you know which is authentic? Just look at your menu; whenever you are able to understand it, then it's not really authentic. If you are seeking for Italian foods rather than just pizza and spaghetti, you may as well speak to a few people who are working at the restaurant. While I'm seeking a good Italian food experience I'll unquestionably need the people making the food to speak more Italian rather than English. You will be able to bet that the dishes will be more American than Italian, if you find the restaurant filled with American ambience.

When you have found a restaurant with a fine menu, next try and understand it. Moreover you cannot make a good first impression if your order something and then later being surprised to find out what it really is when it arrives at the table. Decide what to choose in advance and know the proper pronunciation. Make sure to find out about your date's likes when it comes to Italian food. You can impress your date if you are reading and selecting the dishes from the menu card like an Italian expert.

Italian food isn't the same without a fine wine to go along side it. Almost all good Italian food restaurants have a nice choice of wine. Wine is necessary for a romantic date. Find out what wine might go best with the food which you're ordering. Do not be afraid to ask the waiter, that's what they're there for. At the same time, be aware, since they know it's very easy to raise your bill with expensive wine. Since Italian food is best to be experienced with good wine, take your time to be sure that you are having a fine wine for your food and your budget.

Now your Italian food and then wine are done with, the next matter is to look for a restaurant with good atmosphere. There are actually two ways to do this. The first thing is with more traditional good dining restaurant with dim lighting and perhaps some slow romantic music in your background. This will be an excellent choice. At the same time, the best Italian food might be come up at the humble restaurants with a home feel about it. This might be equally romantic till the restaurant is not getting very crowded. There you will be able to enjoy not just good Italian food, but will also have a memorable experience of your date. If the eating house does not have candles or flowers on your table you might add the romantic touch by bringing your own candles and roses in order to decorate your table. And your date will really get impressed with your step on seeing that your table is clearly better than others.

Following the above steps might lead to a fantabulous Italian food experience for both of you. Find the perfect restaurant and you'll be sure to experience a romantic

In Pursuit of the Perfect Omelet

I don't know about you, but I just love omelets. Whether at home or in a restaurant, an omelet is my favorite meal.

There are some things that bug me when I cook my own omelets, however:

(1) My favorite frying pan has a 10 inch diameter bottom, and cooking an omelet in this large pan requires three or four eggs and a lot of filling--more than I want for one meal.

(2) When you fold over two sides of a round omelet base, the filling is exposed at both ends.

(3) If you are not very careful with cooking time, the omelet base becomes leathery.

(4) When you fold up the sides of a large omelet, they tend to spring open again--very frustrating.

I think I have finally solved these problems. If you would like to copy, here is what I did:

First, I partitioned my big frying pan to reduce the bottom area.

Silicone rubber worked well for this. It is flexible, non-stick, resists high temperature and is quite inert, so it won't contaminate your food.

Silicone rubber is available in tubes at your auto parts store. Be sure to select the red color. This is the high temp variety. My tube says it is good up to 650 F.

To cast the silicone rubber into the shape I wanted, I made a simple paper mold. A piece of typing paper was taped to a flat board and a 6 x 9 inch rectangle was drawn on the paper. Diagonal lines connecting the corners gave the center of the rectangle where the lines crossed.

From the center, circular arks were drawn at both ends of the 9 inch dimension to accommodate the curvature of the pan. This defines the inside dimensions of the partition. If you have a rectangular griddle, forget the arks and leave the ends square.

Finally, lines 3/8 inches out were drawn all around.

Strips of paper 1/4 inch wide were cut with a paper cutter and fastened vertically with hot melt all around the inside and outside of the drawing. First tack the strips every inch or so, then fill in after these tacks have set.

Now you have a 3/8 inch wide channel by 1/4 inch high. Fill this with the rubber and let it cure for 24 hours.

When it cures, most of the paper mold will just strip off. Any paper that won't come off can be removed by soaking the rubber part in water for a few hours until the paper disintegrates.

Make sure the rubber picks up the flat bottom surface of the paper mold by using a 3/8 wide tool to force the rubber downward into the mold as you squeeze it out of the tube. Otherwise, it may cure with air pockets where you want the rubber to fit flat to the frying pan bottom. A screw driver works well for this. Never mind that the top surface of the rubber will be rough and uneven.

To use your finished rubber partition, pre-heat the pan first, then position the partition in the pan and fill it with the egg mixture. When the egg mixture has set, the rubber will easily pull away from the sides of the omelet base.

Two eggs and two tablespoons of water, well beaten, fill my rubber partition just about right. This solves the first problem I listed above.

It also solves the second problem, because the straight sides of the omelet fold up to cover the filling completely.

The third problem is solved by adding a teaspoon of baking powder to the egg mixture. This makes the egg base light and fluffy and puffs it up to 1/4 inch thick or more. This also works great for scrambled eggs. Every good cook may already know this, or it may have been a flash of genius on my part. In any case, it really works. Try it. You'll like it!

One problem, though: The added thickness makes it difficult to cook the egg all the way through. You can solve this by making a large turn-over tool and cooking the omelet base from both sides.

A cookie sheet from the dollar store provides a good source of sheet metal for this. Cut a 9 x 6 3/4 inch rectangle from the bottom and bend up 1/4 inch sides along the 9 inch dimension. These sides prevent the omelet base from slipping off while turning it.

A pair of vice pliers work well as a handle, but you can probably find another tool at the dollar store with a handle that can be removed from the tool and attached to the turner with pop rivets, bolts or picture wire.

You will need a standard pancake turner to lift the omelet base slightly in order to get the large turner under it.

The fourth problem above is easily solved with cheese. Instead of mixing cheese with the other ingredients you use as a filling for the omelet, sprinkle grated cheese over the flaps you are going to turn up. When it melts, it works as a glue to hold the flaps in place.
