Preserving Herbs

Preserving herbs is easy and can bring the summer taste of your garden to your cooking all winter long. Simply hanging the herbs upside down to dry, then bottling them in glass jars is a great way to preserve many herbs including thyme, parsley and oregano. If your cilantro has gone to seed, let those plants dry too. Picking off the coriander seeds is a bit time consuming, but grind them in a mortar and pestle and they’re a delicious addition to seafood and vegetarian dishes. You may find that some herbs retain their flavor better when frozen rather than dried.

[Epub ahead of print.] Design Forty-six patients with a diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) completed the study.

All patients received a standard first line chemotherapy regime (carboplatin with either vinerelbine or gemcitabine). Outcome Measures Assessments were made using imaging and clinical examination. Key Findings Overall favorable response rate in the FO group was more than double that of the SOC group (60% vs. 25.8%, P= 0.008). Clinical Implications Previous studies in vitro and in vivo have shown omega-3 fatty acids may increase the cytotoxicity of chemotherapy agents.1,2 While such preliminary evidence points to potentiation of chemotherapy, there is little clinical trial data to date to substantiate these claims.
