<li class="method__item" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(240, 242, 235); box-sizing: border-box; counter-increment: method 1; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 2px;">
Spoon half the batter into the prepared tin, then press the ring of marzipan on top. Cover with the rest of the batter and smooth the top. Bake for 30 mins then – without opening the oven – reduce to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and bake for another 30 mins. The cake will be risen, golden and shrunk away from the sides when it’s ready. Cool in the tin for 15 mins, then give the tin a sharp tap on the bottom before turning the cake out onto a cooling rack.</div>

To make the frosting, beat together half the cream cheese with the icing sugar and butter until evenly blended. When smooth, beat in the remaining cream cheese along with the milk and vanilla to make a thick, but still flowing, frosting – it should have a consistency similar to semi-whipped cream.</div>
</li>
<li class="method__item" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(240, 242, 235); box-sizing: border-box; counter-increment: method 1; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 20px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 2px;">
When the cake is cold, spoon over the frosting, letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon, then chill for 10 mins to set the frosting a little. Decorate with whole cherries and walnuts. Keep in the fridge and eat within 5 days.</div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cappuccino began in Italy where it is still a delight of the morning routine. The Italians can tell a tourist from a native though because only a tourist will order a cappuccino after noon. It is considered a morning beverage in Italy, but in other regions of the world it is served throughout the day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Steps to Making a Cup of Cappuccino</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cappuccino is a tricky drink to master. It is divided into 3 parts: the espresso, the steamed milk, and the frothy or foamy milk. These layers created at the perfect proportions, textures and temperatures are what make the ideal cup of cappuccino. It used to take highly skilled chefs to create this concoction, but with the advent of the cappuccino machine, most of the guess work is taken out of it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How Cappuccino Machines Work</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cappuccino machines are designed to brew and dispense the espresso coffee. Many can also do the step of grinding the coffee beans for an ultra fresh brew. When the espresso has been dispensed into the cup, the machine then adds steamed milk. These two steps are relatively easy, even though milk temperature and the strength of the espresso are important ingredients in this recipe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The frothy milk is the most difficult part for humans or machines to get just right. The objective is to create a light foam, just the right temperature and with the optimal number air bubbles. This micro-foam stays warm when added to a cup of espresso and creates sweeter tasting foam than more dense concentrations of milk. This helps offset the bitterness of the espresso.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Makers of Cappuccino Makers</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bunn is one manufacture of some of the best cappuccino makers in the world. They are used in restaurants and homes alike because they are durable and able to maintain the ratios and temperatures required for great cappuccino. The restaurant models have up to 5 spouts for instant cappuccino and can cost close to $2,000. For home use, other brands provide more affordable options.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Nespresso machines for home use costs about $400. This is a versatile machine that makes espresso but has plumbing for water to steam and a milk dispenser to create the foam for cappuccino or latte.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many other brands available of home and commercial cappuccino makers. Prices are more than a regular coffee maker because of the specialty features. Home machines generally dispense one or two small cups of coffee, while commercial grade machines can handle 5 cups simultaneously.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Right Recipe For You</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unlike other types of coffee, espresso and cappuccino are very specific in terms of flavour, consistency and ingredients. One cup of coffee from one particular machine may taste just fine to one person, while the next person thinks it is weak or bitter. With espresso and cappuccino, there is a right taste and a wrong taste. You either like it or you don’t, but don’t mess with the recipe!</span><br />

<b>A big chill is sweeping the coffee industry as iced coffee beverages gain popularity.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>According to the National Coffee Association, the percentage of Americans who drink iced coffee beverages increased from 20 percent in 2003 to 29 percent in 2004. Following the popularity of cappuccinos and mocha lattes, consumers are discovering that coffee is just as tasty - and even more refreshing - when served cold. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Iced coffee can be as easy to prepare as iced tea. A variety of options, such as flavoring syrups, cold milk, chocolate and spices, allow you to create personalized coffee concoctions that are just as delicious as those served in your favorite cafe. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Beverages such as iced vanilla mocha, iced rum coffee and iced latte are easy to make at home. Here are some tips for refreshing iced coffee drinks.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>* Pour the flavoring syrup into the cup first. To complete the drink, pour in espresso or coffee, then the ice, and top it off with cold milk. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>* Don't let your beverage become watered down. Cool your favorite coffee beverage with ice cubes made from fresh-brewed coffee instead of water. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>* Use a machine that produces a high quality coffee or espresso. The Capresso CoffeeTeam Luxe, for example, grinds coffee beans right before brewing and allows you to control the strength of your coffee.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>* Be creative. Add a personalized touch to your iced coffee beverages with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, nutmeg or cinnamon.</b></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Recipe 1</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1 ½ cups of different types of vegetable shortenings </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1 teaspoon salt </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">2 teaspoons flavors (colorless) </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">2 pounds of confectioner’s sugar </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">¼ to ½ cup of water or milk (water is a good choice, but milk goes well with lavender color) </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Combine all the shortenings, flavorings, and salts thoroughly. Add the powdered sugar. Slowly add water and gently mix all the ingredients until well blended. You will notice that after 2-3 minutes, the mixture will become creamy. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Notes: </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">a) Try to keep the amount in exactly the same quantity as mentioned above. If you introduce lots of variations, you may not get the desired butter cream icing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">b) If you want to make your icing thin, add three to four big spoonfuls of corn syrup.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">c) If you want to make chocolate butter cream, all you need to do is add ¾ cup of cocoa powder or three one ounce chocolate squares, mixed with one to two tablespoons of milk, to the other ingredients and proceed to mix well. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Recipe 2</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">½ cup vegetable shortening </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">½ cup of soft butter (you can add margarine also) </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">4 cups of confectioner’s sugar </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">2 tablespoons water (milk) </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">½ teaspoon almond, for flavor </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">A dash of salt </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Mix the shortening, butter, and almond. Add confectioner’s sugar and gently mix by hand. Continue to add other ingredients and mix quickly, for six to seven minutes. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Here, too, you can add ¼ or 1/3 cup of cocoa powder to make chocolate butter cream. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">If the icing is quite thin, you may add more powdered sugar, and in case you find it stiff, put a few drops of water or milk into it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Recipe 3 </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Butter cream icing, which has a snow-white appearance as well as a yummy taste, is the best choice for frosting a cake. This so-called “snow white butter cream” is mostly used for decorating wedding cakes or any flat-surfaced cake and for making nail flowers. Remember to dry the flowers uncovered for at least a day. Flowers like apple blossoms or drop flowers are ready for use after four to five hours of air drying. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">The good thing about snow-white butter cream is that it does not need refrigeration to become consistent and boasts a delicious taste as well. Here’s a recipe for this delicious icing:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">2/3 cup of water </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">4 tablespoons of meringue powder </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">12 cups confectioner’s sugar </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1 ¼ cups  vegetable shortening </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">¾ teaspoon salt </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">½ teaspoon almond (for flavor) </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">½ teaspoon vanilla (for flavor) </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">¼ teaspoon butter (for flavor) </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Combine water and meringue powder in a bowl and mix it fast. Next, add four cups of confectioner’s sugar, one at a time. Mix the sugar at fast speed and lower the speed with each addition. Add the shortening, remaining sugar, salt, almond, vanilla, and butter, and mix them gently. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Note: All of the above butter cream icings are easy to make and yummy to taste, you can make all of them at one time and determine which one best suits the different designs on your cake.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Summer and fall - and the long weekends in-between - are ideal times to fire up the grill and bring the family together for some outdoor fun.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Burgers, the quintessential barbecue fare, are among America's all-time favorite foods. For variety, top them with unconventional fixings, such as avocado slices, arugula, salsa and fresh basil.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">For the best taste and optimum freshness, connoisseurs recommend organic ground beef. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">"USDA-certified organic ground beef is made from animals that have not been injected with synthetic hormones or antibiotics, and that eat food free of animal byproducts and grown without pesticides," said Michael Levine, president of Organic Prairie Family of Farms, one of the nation's leading cooperatives of organic farmers and providers of organic meat.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Here are some burger-making tips from Organic Prairie. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* For best flavor, use 85 percent lean ground beef. If you choose leaner meat, add a splash of tomato juice or Worcestershire sauce to increase flavor and moisture.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Finely mince any garlic, onions or other vegetables that will be mixed into the meat. Larger chunks will make the burger fall apart on the grill.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Wet clean hands prior to making the patties. The patties should be formed loosely, not packed or pressed, and should be about one-half-inch thick and slightly wider than the bun.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">The allure of the cupcake has gone beyond children's party fare. All the world, it seems, has a passion for cupcakes these days. Cupcake bakeries are opening across the country. Cookbooks devoted to the art of the cupcake are turning up in bookstores. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Just enough to satisfy a sweet craving, the cupcake is an indulgence of the right proportions. The cupcake has arrived and with more variations on the cake theme than ever. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">When a cupcake crosses with a brownie, a satisfying, deep chocolate flavor is presented in the form of a little cake. Brownie cupcakes make a deliciously dense cake, especially tasty with a sweet addition of natural raisins. The recipe comes together quickly in a single pot on the stovetop, a great option for quick cleanups. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Top the cupcakes with a sprinkling of powdered sugar or a drizzle of glaze, excellent for lunchboxes. For the full cupcake effect, traditional buttercream frosting dresses up the brownie cupcakes for a party.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Broccoli salad is a very versatile dish that can be made in an endless variety of ways. Here is a breakdown of the most popular ingredients and dressings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1-Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">The first ingredient is of course fresh broccoli. 2 heads will do for an average sized salad. Chop the stem off and cut the flowerettes into bite sized pieces.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Next add some chopped vegetables. The favorites are onion, celery, carrots and cauliflower. Just add as much as you like until it looks like a good mix.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Some people like to add bacon. Fry up 6-8 strips until crispy, drain grease and set aside. Crumble bacon after it's cooled and add to salad just before serving.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Any type of cheese can be used. It can be cubed, crumbled, shredded, or creamed as part of a dressing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Fruit is often added to these salads, usually raisins. Also popular are grapes, cranberries, chopped apple, mandarin orange pieces, or any dried fruit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Adding sunflower seeds or nuts to the mix gives the salad a little extra crunch. Almonds, walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts are good examples. Try not to chop the nuts too small. Keeping the pieces larger helps the flavour of the nut stand out a little. Toasting the nuts with a little seasoning is an option as well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">If you would rather not chop up any fruit or nuts just add some trail mix to the salad instead.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">2-Dressings:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">a. The standard dressing for this salad is a basic mayonnaise/vinegar/sugar mix:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1 cup mayonnaise</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1/4 cup vinegar</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1/4 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Mayonnaise can be mixed with yogurt to lighten it up.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Flavoured vinegar can be used or substituted with lemon or lime juice.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Artificial sweetener can be used instead of sugar.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">b. An oil/vinegar dressing can also be used:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1/2 cup salad oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1/4 cup vinegar</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1/4 cup sugar(optional)</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1/2 tsp. salt</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Flavoured cider or wine vinegar is recommended.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Spices such as celery seed, onion powder, basil, and oregano can be added.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">c. Your favorite bottled dressing can be used as well. Any creamy or italian style dressing will work fine on a broccoli salad . A good one to try is 3-cheese ranch.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">3-More Stuff:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Here's a few various items that could be added to make your salad something original:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Any canned vegetable such as peas, corn or beans(black, kidney, garbanzo, waxed, etc.).</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Fresh vegetables such as mushrooms, chives, bean sprouts, green beans, cucumber and bell peppers.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Seafood can make it interesting: shrimp, scallops, salmon, and calamari are good additions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">4-The Method:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Add broccoli flowerettes and any other ingredients you are using to your salad bowl. If you are using crumbled bacon or bacon bits add them just before serving.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Add your dressing, mix and refrigerate 2-4 hours or overnight.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">* Stir salad again before serving.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">This is our families secret chocolate chip recipe. We have a large family so this one makes over 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies. You can experiment with most cookie recipes to adjust to your own taste. Remenmber the more brown sugar you use the more chewy type cookie you create. I don't think this one needs much adjusting. First we will start with ingredients.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">INGREDIENTS:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">4 cups (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1cup butter</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">2 cups all-purpose flour</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">2 cups yellow cake mix</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1 teaspoon baking soda</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">2 teaspoon baking powder</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1 1/2 cups white sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1 cup brown sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">4 eggs</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">2 teaspoon vanilla extract</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1 1/4cup sour cream</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">3 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Directions to cookie recipe.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">2. Melt butter and unsweetened chocolate together.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">3. Sift cake mix, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">4. In a large bowl, beat sugar, eggs, and vanilla.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">5. Stir the chocolate mixture into the eggs.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">6. Stir in the sifted ingredients with sour cream.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">7. Mix in chocolate chips. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">8. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls cookie sheets.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">9. Bake for until edges are starting to turn dark brown.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Enjoy these wonderful cookies at any occasion. They disappear very quickly at family events. You might notice my secret ingredient. It is the boxed yellow cake mix. Cake flour gives the cookie a little more body than the regular unbleached flour.You may use any of your favorite brands. If you are making smaller cookies don't forget that the baking time goes down. Many ovens produce heat from the bottom of the oven, so as not burn the bottom of the cookies many times I will double pan the cookies before I bake them. Baking is similar to a gigantic chemistry experiment. The best way to get the experiment right is to keep experimenting. Once you have found the best combinations of ingredients and procedures, stick with it. Enjoy!</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Onions are absolutely one of the most delicious and flexible commodities you use in the kitchen. From savory steaming soups to satisfying homemade salsa, onions play an important part in our daily cooking.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Flavorful appetizers from onion dips to salad dressing, main course casseroles, even the onion focaccia bread accompaniment for dinner.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Buying onions is a simple task. Look for dry, papery skins with no soft spots. You should also notice the absence of any strong odor. A good dry onion will have very little to no smell to it at all. If it has a strong onion odor the onion has already began to turn bad.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Varieties of onion include, Vidalia, Texas 1015, Red, Green, the Walla Walla from Washington and Maui from Hawaii. Sweet onions such as Vidalia and Walla Walla are mellow enough to eat raw, but they are excellent "baked" on the grill and served with grilled steaks or burgers. Try them in the oven too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Caramelizing onions during cooking will give a rich sweetness to recipes, enhancing kitchen aromas and have everyone asking, “What’s for dinner?” Followed shortly by “fabulous, superb and perfection.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Capt’n Salsa has an almost comical way of storing onions, but it really works.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Grab an old pair of your wife’s panty hose, cut off the legs. Now you simply drop an onion down into the leg of the hose and tie a knot directly above the onion. Repeat this process until each onion is secured and hang the hose in a cool dry, well ventilated space, out of direct sun light.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">To remove the onion, simply cut the hose with a pair of scissors right below the knot and the onion easily falls out. You should be able to keep your onions for about three months.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Kosher salt is one of the best things to use to remove the smell of the onion from your hands. Wash your hands using a little dish washing soap, water and about a teaspoon full of salt. Any salt will do, I just like the course texture of the kosher salt. Rinse your hands and repeat if necessary. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Tears when you chop those onions?</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">How do you get rid of the tears? Here are a few simple suggestions to “ease your pain.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">You can place the onion in the refrigerator for about thirty minutes prior to chopping or if you are in a hurry toss them in the freezer for about four to five minutes. The cold will tone down the sulfur compound in the juice of the onion. In addition be sure to use the sharpest knife possible to expedite your chopping chores.</span><br />

<span style="color: #f1c232;">Scientists are always looking to plants to find medicinal and therapeutic secrets. Discoveries of natural compounds within the olive tree and olives, provide promising health and medical benefits. Organic olive oil has significant health related properties that have spanned centuries and cultures in the Mediterranean.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">The Mediterranean olive dates back 6000 years and was native to Iran, Syria and Palestine (Asia Minor). From there it spread to the Mediterranean basin. It is one of the earliest known cultivated trees. According to the Bible, an olive leaf was that which a dove brought back to Noah, as an indication the great flood waters were abating.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">The olive tree thrives best in a sunny position and climate. A rocky subsoil suits it well. The trunk is knotty, hard, and gnarled, the bark smooth and ash colored. Olive wood is valuable for its durability and is crafted into many items such as gourmet cooking utensils. The olive tree experiences slow growth, but it lives very long. It is reported that the olive trees on Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, are over 2000 years old. It is commonly believed the Bible passage of “the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine,” refers to the olive tree. Olive leaves are silver grey-green, and possesses the health qualities of “olive leaf extract” which is pressed from them. Extracted from olive leaves is a bitter substance named oleuropein. In the 1960’s researchers reported that oleuropein lowered blood pressure in animals, this caused immediate medicinal interest in the olive leaf. There are new studies that indicate olive leaf extract may be a natural preventative against the common cold and flu.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">The olive is believed to be a source of wealth for the Minoan Kingdom. Egyptians tombs dating back as far as 2000 BC have been proved to contain olives. The Greeks spread the usage of olives to the Romans who, in turn, spread it across their vast empire. The use of olive oil has been advocated by many religions and cultures. The early Greek Kings were anointed with olive oil. It was also used to anoint winning Olympic athletes. Across many cultures, olive oil is recognized for healthy benefits for both the inner and outward body.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Some research indicates extra-virgin olive oil is the most digestible of the edible fats. Olive oil also it helps to assimilate vitamins A, D and K in the human body. Benefits of consuming olive oil include slowing down the aging process and helps liver, bile, and intestinal functions. Olive oil is valued for its culinary attributes and organoleptic virtues, these being: flavor, bouquet or aroma, and color. Various grades of olive oil are derived from the time of pressing. Earlier pressings are regarded as better quality. Cold pressed olive oil is a pressing process requiring no heat or chemicals, which destroy vital nutrients. This olive oil is generally the best to use for cooking and healthy cuisine.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Olive oil has been extensively used in cooking and forms an integral part of the basic Mediterranean diet. It is a healthier substitute to butter. Strong and pungent flavored olive oils are great for frying fish or other items having a strong flavor. Extra virgin olive oil goes well with salads. A late harvest mission variety olive oil, which is mellow, can be used for baking cakes. Gourmet olive oil is a healthier and tastier substitute to other fatty cooking oils. The health benefits of cold pressed olive oil already have federal agency approval. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized marketing ads that say organic olive oil helps reduce the risk of coronary disease and disorders.</span><br />

<span style="color: #f1c232;">In general, the Japanese people are very healthy and live longer than any other culture in the world.  Why is this?  Many people attribute it to the way they eat.  But if you think that all Japanese people eat is sushi you couldn't be more wrong.  Japanese home cooking is simple, healthy, and delicious.  While some of the ingredients may seem exotic and intimidating, rest assured that anyone can cook wonderful delicious Japanese meals with ease.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Sushi is the most popular type of Japanese food, enjoyed throughout the world.  You may notice that sushi is quite filling, and you typically eat much less than you would a more Western style meal, such as a hamburger.  What is it about sushi that makes it so filling and satisfying?  The answer could be rice.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Rice is definitely a staple of any Japanese meal.  Whether it is served as a side dish or along with a saucier entrée, you're going to need plenty of rice on hand.  While white long grain rice is most popular, you can always opt for more healthy brown rice.  Either way, you may also want to consider purchasing a rice cooker.  Rice cookers can cost anywhere from $30 to hundreds of dollars, depending on the make and quality.  If you plan on eating plenty of rice this is worth the investment.  You're pretty much guaranteed perfect rice every time.  </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Have you ever had miso soup at your favorite sushi restaurant?  Miso soup is made from several ingredients, one of which is miso paste, made from fermented soybeans.  Miso comes as either red or yellow, both having distinct and rich flavors.  Not just for soup, you can add miso to just about anything from a veggie stir fry to a marinade for beef.  And miso isn't just for Japanese cooking either.  Once you experience the delightful flavors of miso you'll be adding it to all your meals!</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">If you dislike fish, you probably think Japanese cooking isn't for you.  While fish is definitely a huge part of the Japanese diet, it doesn't mean that's all they eat.  Chicken, beef, and pork are all popular choices, as well as tofu and eggs.  Simmering meats in sauces such as teriyaki, in a wok or deep skillet is a favorite.  You can serve these dishes over rice or noodles such as soba.  This is a tasty and healthy alternative to fried foods that many of us eat so often.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">If you're interested in Japanese home cooking there are plenty of great recipes on the Internet that can help guide you through the different types of ingredients and cooking methods.  If you're looking for a healthy and flavorful change to your diet, consider trying a few Japanese meals.  Before you know it you'll be enjoying a variety of delicious foods that nurture the body and the soul.</span><br />
