Goats Verses Kudzu
Sometimes stories come along that just catch my interest. I first heard about this on public television, that goats were being studied for Kudzu control in Kentucky. The University of Kentucky is studying the effects of goats grazing kudzu infested fields to see how many goats per acre are needed for kudzu eradication or sustainable kudzu grazing for goat meat production. After just a little research on my part, I have found that Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee have or are performing investigative studies as well. First let us look at what kudzu is and where it came from. Kudzu (pueraria montana pueraria lobata) is a fast growing, invasive vine that can grow 12 to 18 inches in one day...
Palak Mutton means Spinach mutton (goat's meat). In many countries goat's meat is more popular than the sheep.

In Indian meat recipes this is a popular one. You can make it as hot or as mild, as you want. The overall flavors come from the spices. All the spices will be easily available at any Indian store. The ingredients required are as follows - 1 kg Lamb or mutton (cut into bite size pieces) - 500 gm Spinach (pureed) - 4 medium Onions (chopped or sliced) - 3 Tbsp Ginger-Garlic (chopped or paste) - 1-1...

Green Tea as a Preventer of Stomach Cancer
By now most of us have heard that green tea has been shown to be an effective cancer preventer. There are numerous studies that have shown green tea's anti-oxidants to have significant power in protecting our health and preventing disease. Much of the research on green tea has been performed on laboratory mice, mostly because human trials take years to perform, and because human trials are rife with variables that can make conclusions difficult to determine. However, one study performed in China on stomach cancer, did look at humans and attempted to ascertain whether or not green tea could mitigate their cancer risk, particularly in those who had a higher than average risk of stomach cancer, due to...

Electric Smoker - a Modern Gadget for...
Electric smokers are modern gadgets for an age-old tradition. Smoke cooking has been around for centuries but Americans are still hooked and fascinated with the flavorful aroma of smoked meat up to this day. Proof?

And you still come up with great-tasting smoked products. But the difference lies in the...
I think that this wine's name, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, is exciting in itself, but perhaps it's just a case of marketing hype.

Its major vineyard is 87 hectares (about 215 acres) near the medieval village of Valiano. The property was purchased by the major Tuscany Ruffino winery about twenty years ago. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a well-known Tuscan red produced from the Prugnolo Gentile version of the Sangiovese grape.

I Love Organic Wine - An Alsatian Riesling
Molsheim, Alsace is situated at the foothills of the Vosges mountains on the Alsatian Wine Road (about 20 kilometers or 30 miles west of Strasbourg). In addition to vineyards, it is home to the famous Bugatti automobile. This area is known for fine wine since the early Fourteenth Century. The winemaker's family has been in business for three generations, which may seem like a lot to North Americans but makes them newcomers in a part of the world where winemaking generations are often counted in two figures such as fourteen. Now Alsatian wine tends to be somewhat pricey, as is the Riesling grape. Furthermore, going organic always comes with a price tag. So this wine comes in at less than I expected...

Crock Pot Recipe for Lasagna
People think I'm crazy when I tell them I make my lasagna in a crock pot. They chuckle and laugh, and I shrug my shoulders and invite them over for dinner. When they enter my home they are amazed at the aromas and anxiously sit down to eat. They always end up eating their words after they eat my lasagna. It is easily the best I've ever tasted.

How to Make a Fried Bologna Sandwich
My father was born in Escatawpa, Ms. He was a driver and general hand for an old Italian gent in Biloxi, Ms. As a result, he could whip up a mean spaghetti sauce, chicken fricassee, or a big pot of spicy red beans. But his favorite food was any part of the pig, preferably ground up, spiced up and shoved into a casing. He loved sausage, any kind. You would have thought he was a drug dealer. A phone call would come to the house. A low-voiced conversation would be held and he'd be out the door to meet his supplier(s). He'd buy sausage from the back of a raggedy ford pick-up truck, the trunk of a car, or down a dark alley. Needless to say, none of this pork product was government inspected or had a USDA...
A. Game meats are becoming more common not only on restaurant menus, but for home cooks, as well. Don't be scared away by these unusual meats -- most are very flavorful and easy to prepare. While some may appear on your supermarket's meat counter, you may need to special order others from your butcher. Raw game meat Instead of beef, try cooking different game meats for a change. Buffalo, also referred to as bison, and is similar in taste to beef. It is high in protein and very low in cholesterol. It also has about half the fat and calories of beef. Buffalo should be cooked slowly at a low temperature and should be served rare to medium-rare. Ostrich is a tender, lean red meat with a somewhat...
Wild Greens Can Make a Spring-time Treat
We are so inured to shop-bought factory-farmed foods that we forget that all our foodstuffs originated in the wild. Indeed, everything we eat today started out life as a wild plant. Due to selective breeding cabbages and kale may not look much like their wild ancestors any more. Which is not to say that those wild ancestors don't exist and remain perfectly edible. If you know what to look for and how to recognize the plants then the wild harvest can provide many completely free delights for your table. What's more wild foods are truly and completely seasonal and provide a sense of what our ancestors used to eat. With spring just around the corner it's time for all serious foragers and anyone curious...
Dieticians Say Too Many Eggs Are Bad - Is That...
There are many myths when it comes to losing weight. One of them is that you need to exercise a lot. This is not true. Now I'm not saying that you don't have to exercise. This is still very important. But if a dietician tells you that you have to exercise a lot to lose weight, I suggest you ignore him. This is because if you simply switch to a healthier diet, more often than not, you would have won a good 80% of the battle to lose weight. In this article, I will show you a couple of foods that are essential in your diet, especially if you are serious about losing weight. Weight gain is closely linked to increase in cholesterol levels.

Tick, Tick, Bun
The hearts had a delectable rich meaty consistency while the tongue just tasted like cartilage with a bone in it-I really don't see why anyone would want to eat something that requires you to pull a large piece of cartilaginous bone out of your mouth each time you tal The shrimp and Berkshire pork belly rolls were underwhelming, but only in the shadow of the wild boar blood sausages (nothing like the Irish, Argentine or Spanish blood sausages you've tried) and the bE'ef short rib wrapped on lemongrass skewers, Both were examples ot why the small plates method works so well when executed at a level this high: you're left wanting more of each dish; there's never enough for you to have had your fill of...
One Jury, Twelve Jurors - Why Twelve?
Did you ever serve on a jury? You took your seat in a panel of twelve jurors solemnly sequestered behind a soundproof door. Then came a surprise. Seven jurors reached the verdict. The others went with the majority. That was my experience. So why empanel twelve people to do the work of seven? Blame King Henry II of England. Henry won the throne of England in 1154 after nineteen years of civil war left the country in ruins. He spent his first decade as king restoring what years of strife had destroyed, including the judicial system. A man of tireless energy, Henry worked with his chancellor, Thomas Becket, to create a code of laws and penalties to be interpreted in new county courts by incorruptible...

Zermatt, the Eternal Alpine Snow, and a Peek at...
Mont Blanc stands proud as the highest Alp. Yet one of the most photographically reproduced is Matterhorn with the village of Zermatt at its feet. When I first saw Matterhorn from the ground up, I felt as if I was looking at a solidified ardent flame. A native who saw me look at it with awe said: "You can climb it," as if it were nothing. I laughed...not at him but at me. I wouldn't dare think of trying that. In Zermatt, as well as other places, locals show off their skill by the number of times they have climbed the Matterhorn; although, many fall numerous times. A local had climbed it more than 300 times. His wife shrugged: "Useless to say how many times," she said. "The mountain is going nowhere...

The history of Salsa sauce originated with the Inca people. Salsa (combination of chilies, tomatoes and other spices) can be traced to the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas. The Spaniards first encountered tomatoes after their conquest of Mexico in 1519-1521, which marked the beginning of the history of Salsa sauce. Aztec lords combined tomatoes with chili peppers, ground squash seeds and consumed them mainly as a condiment served on turkey, venison, lobster, and fish. This combination was subsequently called salsa by Alonso de Molina in 1571. Charles E. Erath of New Orleans was the first person in salsa sauce history who began manufacturing Extract of Louisiana Pepper, Red Hot Creole Peppersauce in 1916. A...
Growing Tulips For Garden Delight
Where I live growing tulips is a real challenge as the weather is really too warm - but I still try and have middling success. However, if your climate is suitable, then growing tulips is not only easy, but a great addition to any garden - for color, texture and shape. Requirements Tulip bulbs require 10-12 weeks (minimum) of really cold or freezing soil in order to set the buds. I have to put mine in the fridge and then dig them up after flowering and repeat each year. Don't over water in the summer when they are dormant - as this may cause them to rot. Ditto for a low level area where water gathers. They prefer a dry ground during dormancy. Compost the growing area in spring - but you probably...
How To Fight Your Pets Allergies The Right Way
Food allergies are the third most common type of allergy manifest in dogs. Unfortunately, food allergies in dogs are not breed-specific, and thus there are no "safe breeds." They can develop anywhere between 5 months to 12 years of age, though most often they appear between the ages of 2 and 6. An important thing to understand about a potential food allergy is that it develops over time, and a dog can slowly develop an allergic reaction to a food it has safely eaten for months or years beforehand. It is also important to understand the difference between allergies and intolerances. A food intolerance, for example, might result in diarrhea or vomiting in a dog, much the same way a human might react...

Food allergies make up about ten percent of all the allergies occurring in dogs and cats, coming in after inhalants and flea bites. Many people feel that diets based on lamb and rice are helping them treat or prevent allergies in their pets, but they may not be. We don't really understand how dogs become sensitive to particular foods or food ingredients. Fortunately, there are still plenty of things we do know. Let's look at the way we diagnose food allergies, how we treat them, and what the symptoms are. Unlike inhalant allergies, there isn't a strong link between a dog being a particular breed and developing particular allergies. Male and female animals are equally affected, and neutering seems to...
Tips On Hunting Whitetail Deer - A Few...
Tips On Hunting Whitetail Deer Hey, fellow hunters, thought I'd throw a few whitetail deer hunting tips your way before you head off to your deer stand in pursuit of big trophy bucks this deer season.

You need to dress so that when you are on the stand you remain comfortable and alert. I highly recommend...
Good Fire Pit + Memories = Good Hunting Camp
The smell of a crackling fire greeted us after a long day of hunting. We gathered round in some camping chairs, telling stories and warming ourselves, as the venison roasted on the spit. Our fire pit had created the perfect gathering place for our hunter's camp. We watched the embers burn down almost to ashes, reflecting on the day that had been, before turning in for the night. A good fire pit in your base camp can make your hunting experience significantly more enjoyable. Too many hunters settle for returning to a hotel in the evening, their reminiscing done over drinks at a bar or in a bland hotel lobby. Hunters who camp out, on the other hand, report far greater satisfaction with their hunting...
How Giving Thanks Became a Holiday
Thanksgiving encompasses the concepts of gratefulness and friendship. As a holiday, it has a special history and a plethora of rituals. The idea of giving thanks for food and friendship did not start with today's Thanksgiving holiday. It was always there, even before the major religions admitted it inside their rituals. Earlier than the time humans settled down in certain parts of the planet earth, the hunters rejoiced and thanked their gods of nature for making the prey available. Later, when the settlements formed and people learned farming, giving thanks for nature's gifts after a bountiful harvest became a seasonal ceremony. Autumn is known to be a generous season to the New England area with...

Restaurants and food manufacturers across the globe have worked hard to remove or reduce unhealthy, artificial trans fat from the foods we eat. Unhealthy fat from hydrogenated oils raises "bad" cholesterol levels and lowers the "good" cholesterol which leads to heart disease.

However, there is a trans fat that occurs naturally in animals that eat plant-based foods such as venison, cattle, sheep, goats, etc. This natural fat is known as CLA or Conjugated Linoleic Acid.

"body"> In case you're not a salad lover, let me be one of the first to tell you that you're missing one of the most delicious foods a person can consume. Salads come in all sorts of styles, combinations, and are served with so many various toppings, that you could probably find a different salad for every day of the month. One of my most favorite choices in dining is to go to the local buffet (they have a fabulous salad bar) and eat till my heart is content of the salad choices offered. If you're going to build a great salad, you have to start with a great lettuce. There are more types of lettuce than automobiles, but my personal preference is iceberg and romaine. Once you have the proper...
Why Does My Breath Smell?
If you are the type of person who rushes out in the morning after spending a minute or two brushing your teeth, then reaches for a doughnut and coffee mid-morning, then you might well be the type of person to have smelly breath. You see, it takes several minutes to clean your teeth properly, and you should do this in the morning after breakfast to remove the accumulations of plaque that have occurred during the night. Plaque is the sticky film from saliva that forms constantly on our teeth and holds bacteria which produce a bad smell. If you don't clean off all the plaque before going out in the morning then the bacteria are sitting there waiting for their next meal so to speak. Eating cakes...
