Confucius says, “Eat More Ginger” Spice Profile: Ginger By Pete Taylor Herbs & Spices Expert

Perhaps Confucius didn’t say, “eat more ginger”, but it is recorded that fresh ginger was a prevalent ingredient in his diet. There are many reasons why the rest of us should also increase our intake of ginger whether it is fresh or dry. There are four main health benefits that these tasty rhizomes bring: 1.)Nausea and Vomiting Relief Often time people will offer a ginger ale to those with a stomach ace This is precisely the reason. Chemicals called gingerols and shogaols help relax the intestinal tract. Ginger and the chemicals included in ginger work much like NSAIDs . 2.)Pain Reliever Remember the last sentence in the previous paragraph? Ginger works like NSAIDs. What are NSAIDs?

Apple and Lancashire Cheese Pie By Elaine Lemm British & Irish Food Expert

Mum's Apple PIe, the stuff of dreams and childhood memories. I still find it hard not to be taken back to my early years when I get even the slightest scent of an  apple pie. I know you should never mess with a classic recipe, but this Apple and Lancashire Cheese pie is worth breaking the rules for just the once. The combination of sweet apples and the tang of the cheese combined together and wrapped in crumbly shorcrust pastry is nothing short of genius. A deep-dish pie filled with delicious apples and cheese can be served as a dessert or makes a super tea time treat. Don't forget the  custard . If you can't get Lancashire cheese, dont worry, try to use a crubly whote cheese to get the same result. Do not use waxy cheese, it simply will not work.

Chicken N'Cheddar Biscuit By David Venable Home Cooking Expert

When I was a college student at UNC Chapel Hill, Time-Out Restaurant served these amazing sandwiches 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and I couldn't get enough. This is our version of those incredible sandwiches…just in time for National Biscuit—and National Chicken—Month! Of course,  nothing can beat the original , but I think we come pretty close. In America, we certainly do love our savory biscuits—they’re even an  urban legend ! But, if you order a biscuit in Europe, you wind up with  something very different . Keep things on the salty side by trying some new additions to your dough. Enjoy extra cheese? Mix in shredded cheddar before baking for twice the melty goodness. Fresh or dried herbs can also liven up your basic biscuit. Of course, there are always some  more exotic choices , as well. Cook’s Note: Depending on how and where you grew up, everyone has a preference when it comes to biscuits. If you prefer a softer biscuit, make sure the biscuits touch in th...

Start Saving Now for Christmas By Jasmine Birtles

The one thing we recommend you  don't do is join a Christmas hamper club where your money is not safeguarded (remember the Farepack fiasco in 2006?) Have a look at these alternatives and you could have Christmas wrapped-up by November: Do some Christmas shopping now Shop prices tend to go up and up the nearer we get to Christmas and with so many people beyond just immediate family and friends to consider, it's handy to look out for any special offers, sales and BOGOFs (that's buy-one-get-one-frees) as early as you can. You could end up saving yourself lots of money, plus you can feel smug amongst the stressed-out shoppers in December because you'll have most of your shopping out of the way. Keep an eye out for gifts throughout the year - as well as the big seasonal sales, plenty of stores now have smaller sales throughout the year in an effort to boost flagging profit margins. That 'perfect present' you think is unaffordable might be m...

Food For Sex? - Causes of Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation By Addison Prescot

Food is usually for thought I know but sex can be a lot more fun. The main premise here is that many people (men including) are not aware of what the main causes of the most common sexual dysfunctions really are. Bad eating habits and high cholesterol.This is one of the most basic ways to battle the problem of sexual health. Good eating habits and proper food for sex can be a wonderful way to motivate people into better health. It also happens to be 100% true. No one ever shares the good stuff about eating more healthy foods and some of the more positive reasons behinds staying healthy. Amazingly, it is not common knowledge that certain health concerns and eating habits are the direct cause of E.D. (Erectile Dysfunction). I would bet that if this information was made a little more public and to the right target audience, we could have a much healthier America in no time at all. High cholesterol is known for causing heart attacks and stroke. They tell this to ol...

Organic Gardening - Mulching Your Tomato Plants By John Yazo

Mulching properly is a very important part of organic gardening, especially when growing a crop like tomatoes. The soil and the moisture content are both very important in having a healthy crop. Mulching is an excellent way to keep this moisture from evaporating from the soil and to suppress weeds, but it shouldn't be done to early. Many people make the mistake of applying a heavy organic mulches around their tomatoes too early in the season. Wait at least four or five weeks until the ground has really warmed up, especially in northern areas. With straw or any type of heavy mulch you will insulating the soil and it will take a lot longer to warm. Using a mulch to early in the season keeps the soil cool, and is not good. This will delay the harvest by at least a few weeks and especially in the north where there is already a short growing season it is not good to do. When you first plant your tomatoes you don't want to apply any mulch at all. The soil needs...
