@shanbrite2 -- try taking 500 to 1,000 mg quercetin an hour before having wine (or dried fruit). Quercetin is a bioflavonoid naturally occurring in citrus fruits, onions, and apples, and prevents r...
@ lotusmoss -- are you think of Flag Hill Winery, which is in NH?
Anyhoo... I have both drunk and brewed hard cider. Wonderful stuff! I'm so glad it's gaining in popularity. Cider can ...
LOL -- when I first saw this post, I thought it was a built-in FoodSaver™. Now *that* would be handy!
A built-in food waster sucker sounds kinda dumb. I grew up in a house with c...
I'm not sure of the chemistry (damn, my food science textbook is home). I always assumed that the fats break down, oxidize and polymerize to form the initial layer. Subsequent heatings cause the fa...
I get rather ill from foods with MSG. Generally I get very tired, can't keep my eyes open and have a hard time focusing.

In orange carrots, alpha- and beta-carotene are the primary pigments that give them their orange color. Accord...
@preppycuisine --
As has already been established, most pastured eggs in this country are far less than $7.50/dz; that's an anomaly of living in the Bay area. It seems most places it'...

Pastured eggs run $3.50 - $5/dz here in the NH seacoast.
And yes, they are absolutely, 100% worth it.
See those deep orangey yolks? That's a result of what the chicken e...
I used to live around a corner from a good grocery store and loved the close proximity. I shopped 3-4 times a week and threw out less food that way too.
Next month I'm move to a new c...
This is the problem with "cheap" enameled cast iron -- the enamel doesn't hold up. I had been through 3 $50 Dutch ovens, each of which the enamel crazed or chipped in under 6 months and needed to b...
If they add "flavor packs developed by flavor and fragrance companies" than I believe by law the ingredient label would need to state this (as in, natural and artificial flavors). Does anyone know ...
