Ever wonder how coffee came to be. The story as I have heard it goes; a shepard was out one day tending his flock when the sheep began eating a new berry. The sheep quickly began to act strange and almost seemed hyperactive. The shepard being a bit weary himself thought he would try the berry and see what happened. He a short time latter found himself to be alert and energetic. The word about this mysterious berry got out to the local monks who after some careful study discovered coffee. Have you ever wondered if keeping you awake is...

One of my familys favorite meals is called little pizzas. We take an English muffin and split it, put some tomato sauce on it, then some low fat mozzarella cheese with some pepperoni slices (hey sometimes you just have to splurge)! However, some healthier toppings would be ham (lean), Canadian bacon, turkey sausage, peppers, olives, or sliced or diced onions. We toast our English muffins before we start the process and then pop them into the oven until the cheese melts. My husbands parents had a toaster oven and they cooked theirs in that. One night while at my girlfriends...

Many years ago a nifty little device came out called the Crock Pot. You could cut up a bunch of veggies, meat, and spices, dump them in the pot, and it did all the hard work. You came home at the end of the day and Presto you had a nice hearty meal. Add a salad and some bread/rolls and you were set. As I visit numerous on line boards and web groups/forums I see more and more people mentioning how they made their meal in the crock pot. I am happy to see it is making a comeback. With...

The wine taster's ritual of peering into a glass, swirling it around and sniffing suspiciously at it, before taking a mouthful only to spit it out again looks highly mysterious and technical. However, as you try more and more wines, your awareness of flavors and your personal preferences will develop. It is however a sequence of events that can enhance the enjoyment of good wine. Once learned, they become almost second nature to even the novice taster. Wines AppearancePour your wine into a wine glass so that it is about 40% full, you will need room for swirling. Have a...
