10 Vegetables & Herbs You Can Eat Once and Regrow Forever
10 Vegetables & Herbs You Can Eat Once & Regrow Forever There are some ingredients I cook with so often I can never buy too many of them, and most of them are produce. Onions, garlic and fresh herbs are staples in a lot of dishes, and they may be inexpensive, but when you use them on a daily basis it can add up. Some foods are easy to regrow at home from leftover scraps, and some of them can even be grown right on your kitchen counter. #1. When garlic starts to sprout, the little green shoots are too bitter to cook with. Image via Unknown Learn more on Simple Daily Recipes. #2. The ends of carrots you usually chop off and throw away will grow carrot greens if you put them in a dish with a little water.

spinazie Nieuwzeelandse spinazie €2,00 Nieuwzeelandse spinazie is geen echte spinazie maar is qua smaak en gebruik gelijk aan echte spinazie. Eind 18de eeuw is deze plant vanuit Nieuw Zeeland naar Europa gebracht door kapitein Cook en wordt sindsdien hier gekweekt. Het is een groente die nog steeds in z’n natuurlijke vorm wordt gekweekt en daarom is de plant weinig gevoelig voor ziekten. Daarnaast bevat de plant veel vitamine c en weinig nitraat. En dan nu de teelt. Wil je eerder zaaien dan half mei, doe dit dan binnen in potjes en plant de plantjes na half mei buiten in de volle grond. Nieuwzeelandse spinazie houdt van warmte.

packing light for your trip Warm-weather list | Cold weather list I pack light. I make everyone who goes with me pack light (except don't ask my husband about Japan, that was a fluke). You should pack light and take only carry-on. We have been to Europe for six weeks at a time with a roll-on suitcase and a daypack each for my daughter and me. Who are you trying to impress, anyway? My suggestions, honed over dozens of trips, are below. Packing list for warm-weather trip for women Packing list for cold-weather trip for women (down to maybe 30 degrees) You will be layering here!

So what do you do with the daypack? I also pack my camera in its case, my purse w/wallet that I will use in towns, my travel docs, and my meds and a toothbrush/paste.

American Meat—An Inside Look at Sustainable Farming in America Dr. MercolaWaking Times “Thanksgiving is a time when many of us come together and share food and conversation with our family and friends. It’s a time when we celebrate our loved ones, and reflect on that which we are thankful for. In the spirit of the holiday, we are offering our documentary American Meat to you and yours during this special week of Thanksgiving, for free. If you put good old-fashioned organically-raised, pasture-fed and finished meat in a nutrition analyzer, you’d find it’s one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. However, many are still in the dark about the vast differences between Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) and organically-raised, grass-fed meats, in terms of nutrient content and contamination with veterinary drugs, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms, and disease-causing pathogens. Differences in the animals’ diets and living conditions create vastly different end products. American Meat The Invention of CAFOs

The Curious Story of London’s First Coffeehouses (1650-1675) Several decades later, readers would require no such explanations: England would be awash in coffeehouses, numbering in the thousands. The curious story of how the British swapped much of their daily ale consumption for this “syrop of soot, or essence of old shoes,” is told by Matthew Green in “The Lost World of The London Coffee House,” on the Public Domain Review. Prior to 1652, when Pasqua Rosée established a small coffeehouse in St. Michael’s Alley in London, coffee was virtually unknown in England. Rosée, a servant of a coffee-loving trader to the Levant, found tremendous success with his venture and, according to Green, was soon selling over 600 servings a day. Above, readers can view Rosée’s original handbill, where the entrepreneur advertised both the therapeutic and prophylactic effects of his wares on digestion, headaches, rheumatism, consumption, cough, dropsy, gout, scurvy, and miscarriages.

46 Penny-Pinching Ways To Save A Lot Of Money This Year Farmers Markets Could Generate Tens of Thousands of New Jobs with Modest Federal Support, New Report Finds They’re Growing Nationally, but Federal Policies Favoring Industrial Agriculture Hold Them Back WASHINGTON (August 4, 2011) – Over the last several decades, thousands of farmers markets have been popping up in cities and towns across the country, benefiting local farmers, consumers and economies, but they could be doing a lot better, according to a report released today by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). What’s holding farmers markets back? “On the whole, farmers markets have seen exceptional growth, providing local communities with fresh food direct from the farm,” said Jeffrey O’Hara, the author of the report and an economist with UCS’s Food and Environment Program. UCS released the report just a few days before the 12th annual U.S. All that growth happened with relatively little help. In 2007, the most recent USDA figure, direct agricultural product sales amounted to a $1.2 billion-a-year business, and most of that money recirculates locally.
