Sabira's Chicken Lollipop Recipe #WhatsHotTastingSession
Which is the first place Id look for recipes and love passed down through generations? A home kitchen ofcourse. And when that home kitchen also caters professionally then the treat doubles.And each time I fly into Chennai I find that the home kitchen magic works wonders. Heres a happy story that began in Bangalore, when three gifted women cooked together. Marium Banu and her two young daughters Sabira and Rashida not only cooked to their mothers recipes but were also actively encouraged by their father to attend cooking classes and learn Moghlai and Continental cooking. Not only did Sabira learn and cook at the young age of fourteen but also rapidly picked up all her mothers cooking tips and guidelines. After marriage Sabira moved to Chennai. Along with her husband Javed,
Sabira has been catering from home for the past fifteen years. They pay personal attention to every detail…from shopping to cooking. They also customize their cooking and menus to the specific needs of their customers. She devotes most of her time to cooking and refining her skills.
At our "Whats hot" tasting session she brought along some of her signature dishes for tasting. Fragrant and rich with masala Biryanis (both mutton and chicken) their specialties are malai chicken, butter chicken, tandoori, drums of heaven, sachlik kebabs, shami kebabs, chicken croquettes, malai kebabs, kheema naan, vegetable naan and assorted desserts. While home delivery is free within 2 kms, they take orders atleast 24 hours in advance.
Sabira shares below her easy-to-make and yummy-to-taste chicken lollipop recipe,

Fry the Ginger Garlic Chilly Mixture in 1Tbsp of oil till all the smell is gone. Then add the finely chopped tomato and fry again. Add the sauces kept measured one at a time. Bring to a boil and switch off.
One of my greatest joys is flying down from Mumbai to Chennai to spot talent that hums in home kitchens and cooks and bakes up delights. At these fabulous fun and exciting "Whats Hot tasting sessions" anyone and everyone who wants to take part emails (email@example.com) and we invite them to bring their culinary creations and join us. And each time I get amazed and delighted with the amount of talent and the diversity. Its also such a joy to meet the dedicated and passionate home talent. It is at the very latest such session that I meet Jayashree Manohar.
Grandmaster in Reiki, Jayashree Manohar turned her attention to making chocolates eight years ago. Ofcourse, she continues to give Reiki (to those who need it) and does not charge for it too. Her chocolates are in multi-generational demand. Other than her clients, her parents as well her children love them. Ask for her chocolate roses ( created on sticks, like lollipops and priced at Rs 25 each) they make for great party giveaways. She also makes a Boule'D' Amande,spice Almond chocollates,Truffle Balls,Swirled Marble Chocolates and Crunchy Peanut coins too. The creative Jayashree also makes "Model Of Taj Mahal" chocolates with imported brand of chocolate combination of Dark, milk and White chocolate. Rates differ according to the varieties of the chocolates. She offers special discounts for bulk orders. Jayashree makes chocolates for the Rotary club of Chennai. Do you believe in the healing power of chocolate? I ask her. No prizes for guessing that she responded with a big resounding "yes"

I admit, I am a chocoholic. But what follows is not the delirious outpouring of an addicted chocoholic. This is the result of the most recent research and it "was not supported by any cocoa or chocolate companies," I follow not just the culinary advances but also the medical and health research that is being done on my favorite subject. Till now we are all aware of the beneficial effects of dark chocolate on blood pressure, but here comes a research which presents another beneficial aspect. This was conducted in May, at the University of Reading in England. They measured the visual awareness and motion detection skills of 30 healthy young adults two hours after they ate either dark or white chocolate. It might interest you to know that dark chocolate contains antioxidants from cacao beans called cocoa flavanols or CFs, whereas white chocolate contains only trace amounts. 30 people were divided into two groups One group ate dark chocolate (containing 720 mg CF), and the other was given white chocolate. Then they were given a series of tests two hours later, when the CFs would be producing their physiological effects. The effects on vision were measured by various complex tests. The researchers recorded the results and then, a week later, they actually repeated the same experiment with the same 30 subjects, only this time they swapped sides. The 15 white chocolate subjects now ate darkchocolate instead, and vice versa.What they found, both weeks, was an improvement in visual andcognitive performances of the subjects who ate the dark chocolate. Quite clearly, CFs increase blood flow to the eyes and brain and that this is what leads to enhanced functioning of those structures. Chocoholics are rejoicing.
Gulnaz Ali's Recipe – Banana Walnut Cake
What on earth is this photo of a sailing regatta doing in my Food column? The answer is simple, the young sailing champion Samaria is the inspiration and the reason behind her mother Gulnaz, baking the most unique and healthy cakes. Having tasted Gulnaz's baking in Chennai at our "Whats hot tasting session" I realized that I had not taken the recipe for her healthy cake. So when I called Gulnaz from Mumbai, they were in the midst of a sailing regatta in Hyderabad which the talented young Samaria was taking part in. I also requested for an on location photo. Voila! Thanks to high speed internet, here it is.
The multi-talented Gulnaz Ali having worked for more than ten years in a successful bankers job quit to take care of her daughter and turned to her other passion, baking. "I did this to keep my daughter's sweet tooth satisfied". And then ofcourse, ensured that she not only used the finest and freshest of ingredients but also the healthiest. Gulnaz's healthy cakes are in great demand, as are her regular cakes. She has studied baking and taken special fondant classes too. Ask for her scrumptious banana walnut cake. Amongst her regular cakes, it's the orange and a Almond cake, hazelnut chocolate cake and strawberry pies…which are her signatures. The recipe for Gulnaz's part wholewheat cake follows, as do her tips for healthy baking.
GULNAZ ALI, 2/157 Karikata Kuppam, Muthukadu, Near Mayajaal, Chennai. Ph 9840943500/ email@example.com
Gulnaz's tips for healthy baking
*Use homemade cream cheese/ mascarpone cheese instead of store bought. This way you can keep a check on the amount of sugar in the product.
* Replace sugar with jaggery.
* Replace maida with wholewheat flour. Start with replacing 1/4 quantity in the recipe and slowly increase the amount of wholewheat flour used.
Part wholewheat banana walnut cake.
Maida – 1 cup Whole wheat flour – 1 cup Baking soda – 1/2 tsp Salt – 1/4 tsp Banana – 2, large Unsalted butter – 1/2 cup Jaggery – 1/2 cup Granulated sugar – 4 tbsp Buttermilk – 1/2 cup Vegetable oil – 4 tbsp Egg – 2 Vanilla extract – 1 tsp Chocolate chips and walnuts/ almonds – 1/2 cup Preheat oven to 180C. Grease one 8 inch pan.
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the banana, unsalted butter, jaggery, sugar, buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and fold together with a rubber spatula until completely combined. Coat the chocolate chips with maida and mix into the batter. Pour the mixture into the greased pan and bake at 180C for 30 to 35 mins or till done when checked with a skewer.

Sweet Enterprise
Presenting the latest edition of our "Whats hot Tasting session". Please take a look at the accompanying photograph which I shot. You are looking at Chennai's Foodie entrepreneurs, home-bakers many of who have recently entered the food scene. I flew down from Mumbai to Chennai for this "Whats hot Tasting session" and also for shooting the jury episodes of "Times Now's Foodie" show. Sure! The TV shoot in a local and also high-end restaurant was interesting, but meeting this home-talent was even more engrossing.
All made in home kitchens…from baklava to masalas, from health bars to traditional Indian mithai. I will be writing about each one in detail later on, meanwhile, here's a quick look…
"Mind over batter" is the name of Aarti Rajkumar's designer cake studio where her Belgian chocolate dream and Banofee pies are lovingly baked. Nahla Fathima, conducts H & H Gourmet classes and is known for the Red Velvet and chocolate hazelnut ecstasy she bakes. Gazeena Sulu's "Sweet life from Sulu's kitchen" makes "Patterned jaconde" and other desserts. Innovative and creative, Deepasri Kar 's cupcakes and mousses created with palm jaggery (the seasonal, winter gur) are a delight.
Looking for home-made Baklava? M Ayesha Ruhi is your answer. Azra Zafar specializes in traditional, home made mithai be it Ande ki Piyosi or Bread ka halwa and badam ke loaz. Balancing these with healthful, organic fare is Sadia Gibran, who specializes in Splendid health mixes, Oats and Prunes bar, low fat date and walnut cake and more.
Azeema Shahul makes
Wheat muffins, chocolate truffle balls and many a homemade dessert, cakes & chocolates, in a customized designed packing.
Interestingly, two ladies in our "Whats hot tasting session" were successful bankers who are now delighting the Foodie world. Anisa Arif (who Id actually met in her Stanchart days) is now creating a range of the most innovative and amazing masalas you can buy online, be it Sindhi Biryani masala or the Arabic barbecue mix and more. After ten years in the banking line Gulnaz Ali turned to baking. Orange and almond cake, hazelnut cake and more.
Joining me for our "Whats hot tasting session" is the brilliant Senior Executive Chef Ajit Bangera of the ITC Grand Chola which has been making waves since it opened mid 2012. We conduct our Tasting session in this sprawling palatial hotel that pays homage to the great dynasty of the Cholas who nurtured Tamil Nadu's golden age.All ten of it's iconic restaurants are being helmed by Chef Bangera. This includes their brand new Italian restaurant, their cute deli contemporary shop "Nutmeg".
Here's how we have been helping over the years. Over a fortnight ago, I got a call from Pashupati who said his wife Annapurani was looking for cooking classes in Chennai and that he had read about my "foodonline" several years ago. So I invited Annapurani to our "Whats hot tasting session" and introduced her around, so her queries were answered. Should you have any food or food service related questions, please do email
Please email (email@example.com, email@example.com) call (09884065010) tweet, instagram, (@rashmiudaysingh) FB.
Would you like to be featured here? Are you a home-entreprenuer? Please email (email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com) call (09884065010) tweet, instagram, (@rashmiudaysingh) FB.

It's not clear why whomever originally called 911 on his behalf did not inform the family, or respond the news coverage of him missing.
Robert Alan Korda went missing on Wednesday after he failed to show up for work at Gower Studios in Hollywood, according to the LAPD.
The musician's body was located Sunday in the custody of the coroner's office, and his death is under investigation.
Korda was found "unresponsive" at a home in Glendale after authorities were notified at 18:46 p.m. Wednesday, said Assistant Chief Ed Winter of the coroner's office. Korda was pronounced dead at a hospital at 19:30 that evening, according to Winter.
There was a delay in linking the missing-person case with the deceased because Korda was mistakenly registered at the hospital as "Norda," said Winter. The correct identification was made on Sunday, according to Winter.
An autopsy was done on the body but the results "are still pending," Winter said. He said the initial investigation indicated Korda died of natural causes.
Really sad that a typo could cause so much duress, on top of an already sad event.

Ready to start drinking Beer again
I of course drank beer during college (...and ah-hem, pre-college). The beer was what you would expect, cheap /on sale /in a keg. As I moved beyond just trying to be buzzed, I realized I didn't like the taste of any of the beers. I went on to wine, cocktails, hard cider, finding better and better options as time went on. But during my recent visit to my brother's I saw him enjoying a craft IPA and thought maybe I should try beers again. But my question is where should I start? The IPA was too hoppy for me, but I don't know what to try next. Suggestions?

Don't Rebuild. Renew! Additions, Renovation, and Remodeling
Renew provides luxury service, intelligent energy design, and the quality you expect from a Schell Brothers company. Renew can provide a full range of services from kitchen remodeling, to major additions, and whole house renovations.
Working Side by Side
As a homeowner, creating an addition or completing a major renovation can be a challenge. Unlike building a new home, clients rarely start a renovation with a complete set of plans ready to build. Instead, it is an iterative process working hand in hand with your contractor to get to the design that is both cost effective and provides the visual appeal, energy efficiency, and new space you need.
In addition, once you start your project, a very different set of stresses can appear in your daily life. At Renew, we have created a company that understands your needs and we have designed our processes to help you overcome these challenges.
During the design phase, we use a detailed interview process to help us understand what you want in the new space.
We then use state-of-the-art software to provide "sketches" of your design which include possible floor plans and three dimensional drawings. Our software can provide a full 360 degree view and is a critical tool in helping you visualize what your new addition or renovation will look like. As a homeowner, being able to 'see' your addition beforehand allows you to make better decisions early in the process, giving you an improved end product. We also understand the stress an addition can put on your life and living area. We take great care to minimize the impact during the construction process by adhering to our strict standards of luxury service including protecting your existing property during the project, ensuring cleanliness throughout the process, respecting your privacy, and exceeding your expectations. We treat every project as if we were living there.
At Renew, we use state of the art software to help you visualize your project in a 3-D virtual environment.
When your home is being disassembled and put back together, you don't want the lowest priced contractor providing the least experienced tradesmen.
You want the best value for your money, with unsurpassed quality and a new level of personal attention. You want a company that can provide an interior designer at no charge to help with your design. You want a company with a local showroom and design center so you can make hands-on selections for your project and see concepts and photos of other projects. You want an award winning company with dedicated professionals who will be there when you need them.

Many consider pilaf rice's finest hour. Do you prefer palau, pilau or plov, and do you have a trick for that all-important golden tah-dig?
Pilaf is an old, old dish, the complexities of which belie the brief definition given in the Oxford Companion to Food: "a Middle Eastern method of cooking rice so that every grain remains separate, and the name of the resulting dish". That separation is the important thing: 13th-century Arabic texts suggest the plump grains should resemble peppercorns - no mush, no stickiness.
This is usually achieved by successively boiling and gently steaming to pilaf perfection, but, as with many such apparently simple dishes, that's not the end of it. Washing or soaking the rice to rid it of any surface starch, which might make it sticky, is common, as is covering it with a cloth, as well as a lid, to protect it from drops of condensation as it steams. Then there's the issue of the tah-dig, literally the "bottom of the pot", a golden crust often fought over at in Middle Eastern households, and often enhanced with egg or pieces of flatbread.
Although thousands of variations on pilaf exist, from Turkey to Turkmenistan, taking in the plovs of central Asia and the pilaus of the Indian subcontinent, adding meat, fruit and vegetables, even substituting the rice for bulghur wheat, I've restricted myself to the simplest version. Lightly spiced, fluffy rice, with a crunchy toasted bottom. How hard can it be?

Jocelyn Jordan commutes to Western High School to play for the girls' basketball team because her school doesn't have a squad. As Sun sports editor Ray Brewer reported, sometimes she makes it on time, sometimes she doesn't.
Jordan, a sophomore at Northwest Career Technical Academy, is at the mercy of public transit. Her journey requires her to catch two buses; she sometimes jogs in at the end of practice because of a late bus.
When practice or games are over, which can be well into the evening, it's back to the bus stop to go home. She tries to do her homework on the bus so she isn't up too late after finally getting home.
Teammate Tenaya Williams, a sophomore guard at Western, understands that. She takes the bus home, a trip of 3.1 miles. She knows the distance because she has walked the route and measured it.
But, admirably, these young women aren't looking for sympathy — they know that's the price they have to pay for playing high school basketball.
"If you really care about something, you will walk 3.1 miles for it," Williams said. "It's cool. I don't mind having to take the bus or walk."
That is a commendable attitude. It certainly isn't easy for a student to try to juggle school and a sport, particularly when she knows she won't be home until late and may still have to cram in homework. It makes for long days and not much sleep.
That's hardly a recipe for student success, and not too long ago, students had a better option. The Clark County School District used to provide bus service to help students who were staying late for extracurricular activities but that service was ended about a decade ago in a round of budget cutting.

Underage drinking is on the rise; talk to children before they start
Most children and teens age 9 to 20 are at high risk of drinking alcohol. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an estimated 10 million people under the age of 21 admitted to drinking alcoholic beverages in the past month during a study completed in 2011.
Thirty-three percent of eighth-graders and 70 percent of 12th-graders say they have tried drinking alcohol at some point in their lives. Of those who say that have drank, 65 percent say that they get drunk at least once in a typical month. Statistics prove that the majority of children and teens will try alcohol and drink to get drunk before the age of 21. For additional data, see www.samhsa.gov.
The statistics are shocking and hard to believe. Parents don't think that their child will drink alcohol to feel drunk before the legal age. Some parents believe allowing drinking as long as the teens are under their supervision in their home, not drinking too much and not driving is alright, saying "they are going to do it anyway so it is better to control it." This is a big mistake.
Parents who allow underage drinking are signing the permission slip and promoting it. These parents are deceiving themselves by thinking their children are only drinking by their rules and not to excess or not in other places. Drinking alcohol before age 21 is directly correlated to other unhealthy outcomes, including, injury or death from accidents; unintended, unwanted or unprotected sexual activity; health problems like depression and anxiety; academic problems; and drug use (according to www.samhsa.gov).
The effects of alcohol on a developing brain can be lethal. The frontal lobe of the brain does not fully mature until age 21-23. Executive functions like good decision making, weighing consequences, thinking and planning ahead, and good judgment are not fully developed until age 21-23 for most young adults. Compound the immature brain with inhibition-lowering, judgment distorting substances like alcohol and the combination is at least dangerous and may be lethal. Young people drinking to excess may overdose on alcohol, drinking too much before realizing it, and they can die from alcohol poisoning or from aspirating on (breathing in) their own vomit.
Parents talking to their children about the dangers of alcohol consumption is the most valuable weapon in the arsenal for combating underage drinking. Though it seems that teenagers are listening more to friends and media than parents, the child's parents or guardians are still the first and most important teachers for children. They really are listening. By the time some parents start the conversation, the child has already tried alcohol. Children are less likely to drink (or use drugs) when they have a strong, trusting relationship with their parent(s), according to www.samhsa.gov.
Talk to children by the time they are 9 years old, before they start, and keep on talking as they grow, all the way through adolescence. Short, frequent discussions have an impact on a child's choices as opposed to a one-time long talk. Make it clear that underage drinking is unacceptable and keep messages consistent. Give the child time to talk about their views and experiences so the conversation is a two-way street. Remember that what you do is as important as what you say. If adults are enjoying alcohol frequently, no matter how much is said, the child will be confused by the mixed message. If you keep alcohol in the house, make sure children know it's off limits to them, until they are at least 21 years old.
Some warning signs that your child might be drinking alcohol include changes in your child's behavior and attitude. Some changes are a natural part of growing up. When changes are dramatic or sudden or there are several changes, there could be a problem with underage drinking.
The following can signal a problem: mood changes like extreme irritability or defensiveness; falling grades, poor attendance or disciplinary problems at school; rebellion at home or against family rules; switching friends; "nothing matters" attitude that might include changes in appearance, lack of involvement in former activities, or low energy; or finding signs of alcohol.
Signs of alcohol use might include finding empty alcohol containers or the smell of alcohol in the child's room, backpack or breath. Memory lapses, poor coordination, bloodshot eyes, staggering gait, slurred speech can be signs of alcohol intoxication and may require a trip to the local hospital emergency room.
It can be hard to believe that the beautiful child you have cared for so much for so many years could use alcohol or other drugs. Feeling bad or blaming yourself for their alcohol use will not help and it might interfere with them getting help. It is tempting to blame others when it happens, mostly the child's friends. Accepting that your child has been underage drinking is important to getting help. Getting professional help quickly is the most important step a family can take.
If you or someone you know has been involved in underage drinking or using drugs, call your health insurance company for a list of approved local providers, or talk to the child's school counselor or pediatrician.

Is soil an organic or inorganic substance? Explain with two reasons.
2 Answers | Add Yours
Soil contains both organic and inorganic substances that support the plants in the process of growing and provide the necessary nutrients to preserve the health of the plants.
The organic substances present in soil contain carbon, while the carbon is absent from inorganic substances.
Both forms of the organic matter are present in soil. The dead matter consists of old roots of plants, fallen leaves, while living organic matter consists of microorganisms that helps in disintegrating of compounds to deliver the useful nutrients for plants.
The minerals that are found in soil are also classified as inorganic matter because of the absence of carbon atoms in their structure.
The question of whether soil is organic or inorganic could be answered many ways, depending on your perspective.
First, speaking from a purely chemical point of view, it contains both organic (C, O, H and N) atoms and inorganic (P, Mg, Fe, Se, etc...) atoms in various combinations of compounds. It's creation and recylcling requires living substance so most will say it is organic substance (You know when your mom says or said, "Don't put it in your mouth" or "Wash your hands before you eat"- there is living stuff in that dirt you've been playing in that can make you sick)
However, if you look at it from an evolutionary perspective ("Which came first?") you might need to think of it differently.
To create life, organic materials (elements and compounds) have to be present. The creation of soil requires living things (bacteria, fungus, plants, animals and protists). So , which came first, the life or the soil? How could plants grow without soil and how could soil be made without plants? How could animals be alive if plants weren't producing oxygen for them to breath? This question can be answered by scientists with various theories. Or it can be answered by various religious beliefs. That may be for you to decide when you have evaluated both sides.

"We've spent a lot of time thinking about how people can share in a private way, and still do all the things people love to do on social networks," the creators said on a Diaspora blog.
However, the creators admitted security could "be better," and that upgrading could be made simpler.
One of the main selling points of Diaspora was its "aspects" feature, which enabled users to group contacts.
"Diaspora lets you create 'aspects,' which are personal lists that let you group people according to the roles they play in your life,"
"We think that aspects are a simple, straightforward, lightweight way to make it really clear who is receiving your posts and who you are receiving posts from. It isn't perfect, but the best way to improve is to get it into your hands and listen closely to your response."

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery is often used to treat movement disorder symptoms when medication is no longer effective. These disorders can include Parkinson's Disease, essential tremors and dystonia. Common symptoms can include tremors, rigidity, stiffness or walking problems.
During DBS, surgeons implant a battery-operated "neurostimulator" into the region of the brain that is discharging abnormal electrical currents causing the movement disorder. Similar to a heart pacemaker, this electrotrode delivers electrical stimulation to the part of the brain that controls movements. The stimulation blocks the brain's abnormal electrical currents, significantly reducing tremors and other movement disorder symptoms.
DBS requires two surgeries. During the first surgery, a neurosurgeon will implant the neurostimulator. This typically requires a one-night hospital stay. During the second procedure, the DBS electrodes are attached to the generator or battery. As an outpatient procedure, patients are home the same day.
Implanting the Neurostimulator
Before this surgery begins, the neurosurgeon will place the head frame on the patient for precision guidance to the target. A CT scan or MRI is then performed. Once in the surgical suite, the patient receives local anesthesia and a small incision is made in the skull to insert the microelectrode(s). With computerized guidance, the microelectrode is precisely placed in a region of the basal ganglia. A small current is then applied through the microelectrode, confirming the precise location within the brain. The patient is awake during this part of the procedure. After the microelectrode recording has precisely located the target, a permanent DBS lead is put in place. While still in the surgical suite, the DBS lead is connected to an external generator and a brief electrical stimulation is provided. This confirms that symptoms related to the movement disorder have stopped. After surgery, a CT scan is performed. Patients generally return home the next day. Connecting the Neurostimulator
Patients return to Memorial Medical Center one week after surgery so that the DBS lead with connecting wire can be attached to the generator (battery). This second procedure takes approximately 40 minutes and patients are generally home the same day. The DBS system is later programmed by a neurology specialist.

Buttered Popcorn?
#1 Guest_jokamo_*
Posted 14 May 2007 - 09:16 PM
I have a question. The other day I ate a small amount( thank goodness) of buttered popcorn. It was the kind that you get at a small carnival, (a small rolling concession stand with small bags). I figured it would be okay since I have eaten microwaveable popcorn without any problems. I know it was the popcorn because it was the only thing I had eaten that afternoon(I didn't eat breakfast). I ate it about 12 noon and by 5 pm I was sooo bloated, that I looked like I was 6 months pregnant (I'm not). Has anyone ever had problems with butter on the popcorn. I can't eat anything with caramel coloring in it even though in the US it is "supposed" to be made with corn, but I am not sensitive with corn. I get really sick with the caramel coloring, I can't figure out why. And I also get sick with Maltodextrose (Splenda). I am confused. How come I can eat corn chips or taco shells or just plain corn without any problems, but I can't eat an addidtive that is supposed to be made from corn??? I don't get it!!!
Sorry for ranting. Just trying to figure this out so that I don't get sick anymore, because when I get sick, not only do I get the stomach pain and D but My lupus and Fibromyalgia flare up and cause extreme pain for days and sometimes weeks depending on what I ate!!!
Thanks for the help!

I'm a popcorn lover and just had to respond. When I went gluten-free, I gave away all my microwave popcorn. I can't remember the ingredients specifically, but it has all kinds of bad stuff in it...msg (can be labeled something different), soy, artifical butter flavor...who really knows what it is. I agree with TLT, air-popped is best. I stay away from dairy (newbie) and use olive oil with curry, ginger, sugar, and salt...yummy. I noticed that its not the butter I craved, but the salt (watch out blood pressure)
I would give popcorn another shot...eat it air-popped or pop it with olive oil (not canola, corn, vege/soy) and salt.
Good luck,

I have a hard time believing it was the butter. I'd suspect the flavouring salt before I'd suspect butter-esque topping.

gluten-free since July 8, 2009!
Posted 24 August 2009 - 12:00 PM
As for rolling popcorn stands, theaters, fairs, and amusement parks, nobody can say that without a doubt all are gluten-free. However, we do know that the most popular popcorn flavoring or fake butter in the U.S. -- Flavacol (sp??) -- is gluten-free, and of course real butter would be gluten-free. This is another category where, in 8 years, I have yet to find one with gluten -- at least among the ones I've been able to check.

put a 1/4 cup of popcorn (kernels) in a lunch sized paper bag; roll the top up two or three times, and staple each side (at least three inches apart). pop in the microwave (the staples are far enough away that they will not arc and are safe) for somewhere between 1.5 and 3 minutes (take out when the rate of popping really falls off).
tasty, and easy!

text: More Tests Needed Before Ohio Residents Can Use Water By Candice Naranjo Published: August 3, 2014, 7:19 am Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window) Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The mayor of Toledo, Ohio, is telling residents that more tests must be done to ensure toxins are out of the city's water supply. Mayor D. Michael Collins says Sunday that the 400,000 people in the region need to avoid drinking tap water for a second day. But he says samples show the level of toxins appears to have decreased. Toledo officials issued the warning early Saturday after tests revealed the presence of a toxin possibly from algae on Lake Erie. Ohio's Environmental Protection Agency is trying to figure out what caused a sudden spike in the toxins. Gov. John Kasich has ordered the state's National Guard to deliver pallets of bottled water, water purification systems and meals ready to eat to residents in Lucas, Wood and Fulton counties.

A feed for animals containing heat-treated ω6-unsaturated fatty acid such as γ-linolenic acid, and production process for the same. Feed efficiency of the feed of the present invention is higher, and the feed improves health of the animals.
1. A process of producing a feed supplement for animals consisting essentially of the following steps:
heating a mold selected from the group consisting of genera of Mortierella,Mucor and Cunninghamella and having gamma-linolenic acid containing lipid in a first step at 50° C. to 100° C.;
washing said mold which has been heated and;
heating said washed mold in a second heating step to a temperature of 100° C. to 150° C. to provide a feed supplement having improved oxidation and thermal stability.
2. The process of claim 1 wherein said first heating step is at a temperature of 60° to 90° C. and said second heating step is at a temperature of from 120° to 130° C.
3. The process of claim 2 wherein said first heating step is carried out for 10 to 60 minutes.
4. The process of claim 2 wherein said first heating step is carried out for between 20 and 40 minutes.
5. The process of claim 1 wherein said first heating step is carried out for 10 to 60 minutes.
The present invention relates to a feed for animals and process for producing same. In particular, the present invention relates to a feed for animals containing an ω 6-unsaturated fatty acid and process for producing same.
γ-Linolenic acid and arachidonic acid which are one of ω 6-unsaturated fatty acid, and bishomo-γ-linolenic acid produced in vivo from γ-linolenic acid and precursors for prostaglandin. Oils and fats containing γ-linolenic acid attract attention as healthy foods. As such oils and fats, vegetable oils extracted from seeds of evening primrose, etc. are used. However, such vegetable oils have problems in oxidation stability and heat stability and, therefore, these oils have not been used in a large amount. Though oils and fats containing γ-linolenic acid were extracted from some mold, the uses of them are limited, since the quality thereof is deteriorated by oxidation with air or thermal decomposition. Further, the use of ω 6-unsaturated fatty acids such as γ-linolenic acid could not be widely developed because they are expensive.
The inventor made investigations for the purpose of developing the use of ω 6-unsaturated fatty acid such as γ-linolenic acid and also a process for producing these fatty acids having improved oxidation stability and thermal stability at a low cost.
After the investigations, the inventor has found that the oils and fats and fatty acids containing γ-linolenic acid are stabilized by a heat treatment. Particularly, when a mold containing γ-linolenic acid, etc. is heat-treated, the oils and fats and fatty acids contained therein are stabilized and that by this process, the intended product can be fed at a cost lower than that of the conventional products. The inventor has found also that the product can be used as a feed for animals. The present invention has been completed on the basis of this finding.
The present invention provides a feed for animals containing 0.0005 to 5.0 wt. % of an ω 6-unsaturated fatty acid, and a process for producing the feed.
The ω 6-unsaturated fatty acids usable in the present invention are preferably highly unsaturated fatty acids having at least two carbon-to-carbon double bonds such as 2,4-decadienoic acid, linolenic acid, γ-linolenic acid, 8,10,12-octadecatrienoic acid and arachidonic acid. Among them, γ-linolenic acid is particularly preferred.
Seeds of evening primrose, etc. and molds containing γ-linolenic acid, etc. are used as the sources of the ω 6-unsaturated fatty acids. Among them, the molds containing γ-linolenic acid, etc. are preferred, since they are available on the market stably at a low cost. The molds are those of Mortierella, Mucor, Cunninghamella, etc.
In the present invention, the mold is cultured in a nutrient culture medium by an ordinary method, then harvested and heat-treated. The heat treatment is conducted preferably in two steps. Namely, a pretreatment is conducted at 50 to 100° C., preferably 60° to 90° C., for 10 to 60 min., preferably 20 to 40 min. and then the main treatment is conducted at 100 to 150° C., preferably 120° to 130° C. to dry the product.
When the heat treatment is conducted in one step, thermal decomposition products of the residual components of the medium such as sugar and minerals are contained in the feed unfavorably.
Thus, it is desirable to wash the pretreated product with water to remove unnecessary substances prior to the main treatment. The product thus obtained after the heat treatment may be used as the ω 6-unsaturated fatty acid either as it is or after extraction with, for example, n-hexane, acetone or ethanol. The results of the analysis of the heat-treated mold (Mortierella isabellina) is shown in the following Table 1.

When the seeds of, for example, evening primrose are used as the ω 6-unsaturated fatty acid source, the seeds are preferably directly roasted without pulverization thereof so as to keep the oils and fats therein. The roasting conditions are as follows:
(1) heating temperature: 120° to 350° C. (preferably 180° to 220° C.),
(2) heating time: 1 to 30 min. (preferably 2 to 5 min.), and
(3) heating environment: ordinary heating environment (preferably roasting by means of far infrared rays in nitrogen stream).
The feed of the present invention for animals must contain 0.005 to 5.0 wt. %, preferably 0.001 to 1.0 wt. %, of an ω 6-unsaturated fatty acid such as γ-linolenic acid. When the amount of the unsaturated fatty acid is less than 0.0005 wt. %, the sufficient effect thereof cannot be obtained and, on the contrary, when it exceeds 5.0 wt. %, the coefficient of digestibility is reduced and a loose passage is caused. Further, such an excessive amount of the unsaturated fatty acid is economically disadvantageous.
The animals to which the feed of the present invention can be given are not limited. They include cattle and poultry such as cows, pigs and hens, pets such as dogs, cats and birds and cultivated fishes such as goldfishes and carp.
The feed of the present invention can be stored stably over a long period of time, since the ω 6-unsaturated fatty acids such as γ-linolenic acid have excellent oxidation stability and thermal stability. Further, the ω 6-unsaturated fatty acids are available at a low cost and, therefore, they can be used in a large amount as the material for the feed for animals.
The feed of the present invention exhibit remarkable effets of improving the health of the animals such as a reduction of troubles of the liver functions, increase of the body weight and/or improvement in the quality of the meats and reduction of the death rate. In addition, when it is given to the cattle or poultry, γ-linolenic acid, etc. contained in the feed is concentrated in the animal bodies and, as a result, the health of human beings can be improved when they take the milk, meats and eggs. In addition, the feed efficiency of the feed of the present invention is often higher than that of conventional feeds.
The following experimental example and examples will further illustrate thepresent invention.
The heat treatment conditions of the molds were investigated. The heat treatment is conducted preferably in two steps, i.e. pretreatment and the main treatment. The treatment conditions in the two steps were investigated.
(1) Pretreatment conditions:
(The untreated mold had an acid value of 1.6 thirty minutes after completion of the culture.)

(2) Conditions of the main treatment:
It was found that the treatment can be conducted satisfactorily by washing the mold with water, then dispersing it in water and drying the dispersionby heating to 100° to 150° C., preferably 120° to 130° C.
The mold thus heat-treated was stored at 40° C. for a given period of time. The physical properties thereof are shown below.

I assume the polls you cite are correct. But that is because Mass. is dominated by the Democrat Party and Democrat news media. Being an independent thinker and voter my take on Coakly is negative. Cah more »

This is a tragic story but there seems to be more to it than reported. Jieming Liu came here a few months ago, lives in a suburban apartment, and seems to have gone crazy then murdered his wife. What more »

This study is important. Not only because of the implications of the data collected, but more importantly, the lack of adequate scrutiny by our protector, the EPA. It is simple common sense that a tox more »

Joan, your analysis is exactly correct. Coakly seems to be afraid to investigate Democrats in office and this shows the dark side of the one party monopoly Dems have on this state. Thanks for writing more »

Of all the problems in Mass. government, Coakly picked one that, at best, is a marginal issue. I can't predict the outcome of Cahill's trial but, if he is found to be guilty, that won't be a significa more »

Champion Unmasked: Atrocitus
Atrocitus is joining Infinite Crisis, ready to rage. This large Enforcer taunts his enemies and spews red hot plasma across the face of entire teams. And, as leader of the Red Lanterns, his origin story has a grim beginning…
Passive – Red Lantern's RageAtrocitus gains Rage from his basic attacks or when damaged, gaining slightly more Rage if damaged by an enemy Champion. His Rage Meter caps out at 100. Basic skills are Enraged when his Rage Meter is at (or above) 50 Rage, draining 50 Rage in the process. If time passes without gaining Rage, Atrocitus begins losing a small amount of Rage per second. When damaged, Atrocitus unleashes a small explosion of Power Damage in an area around him. At most, this triggers once every two seconds.
Q: Crimson SlashAtrocitus resets his basic attack cooldown, empowering his next basic attack to deal additional Power Damage and slow the target's Move Speed. Enraged: Power Damage hits an area around the target, and every enemy damaged is slowed.
W: Come at meFor a few seconds, Atrocitus forces nearby drones and creatures to attack him and reduces incoming damage by a flat amount. Damage reduction increases based on how much health Atrocitus is missing. Enraged: While active, Come At Me increases the frequency and Power Damage of Red Lantern's Rage area of effect explosion.
E: Overwhelming RageFills a target champion with Rage, forcing them into a mirrored charge with Atrocitus. When the two collide, the enemy is dealt Power Damage and is briefly Rooted. Enraged: Atrocitus taunts his target, forcing them to make basic attacks on each other for a short duration. Both have increased Attack Speed but reduced basic attack damage
R: Plasma WaveAtrocitus spews a cone of plasma on his enemies to increase all incoming damage and deal Power Damage over time. For each champion hit, Atrocitus gains a flat amount of rage.
Universe of Origin:Prime
Millions of years ago, the Guardians of the Universe used robotic Manhunters to keep the peace. But when the insane Guardian Krona introduced a flaw into the Manhunter's programming, it caused them to slaughter the people of an entire space sector before they could be shutdown.
Of the trillions slain, Atrocitus was one of five survivors. These survivors would later form the "Five Inversions," a terrorist cabal who went on to wage war against the Guardians. They were, in time, defeated and imprisoned.
Imprisonment, however, only stoked Atrocitus' rage. When he finally gained his freedom, Atrocitus butchered his fellow Inversions, using their blood and his fury to fashion the first Red Power Ring. Armed with the brute force of rage made manifest, his war on the Guardians began anew.

plumb line at the top of the well; however, this will not relieve the
Contractor of the responsibility of maintaining adequate clearance for
installation of the surging and pumping equipment required for testing and
pumping the wells. At least one plumbness check and alignment check shall
be performed on each well after placement of the filter pack. Additional
tests may be made during the performance of the work at the option of the
[The well shall be constructed and all casing set round, plumb, and true.
The Contractor shall perform the following tests after the installation of
the well but prior to backfilling, and before its acceptance. Additional
tests may be made during the performance of the work at the option of the
Contractor. Should the Contractor fail to correct, at no additional cost
to the Government, any faulty alignment or plumbness disclosed as a result
of these tests, the Contracting Officer may refuse to accept the well. The
Contracting Officer may waive the requirements for plumbness if in his
judgement the Contractor has exercised all possible care in constructing
the well and the defect is due to circumstances beyond his control or if
the utility of the completed well is not materially affected or if the cost
of necessary remedial measures will be excessive. In no event will the
provisions with respect to alignment be waived.]
Plumbness shall be tested by use of a plumb line. The plummet shall be a
short cylinder with an outside diameter approximately 6 mm 1/4 inch smaller
than the inside of the well and/or temporary casing. It shall be suspended
from a small diameter wire rope and its point of suspension shall be in the
exact center of the plummet. The plummet shall be sufficiently heavy to
stretch the wire rope taut. The wire rope shall pass over a guide sheave
which shall be positioned at least 3 m 10 feet above the top of the well
and adjusted horizontally so that the plummet hangs in the center of the
well. Displacement of the wire rope during the plumbness check shall be
measured by means of a transparent plastic sheet on which a number of
concentric circles shall be scribed or drawn, and which is centered on the
top of the well. The exact center of these circles shall be marked, and
then a slot, slightly larger than the plumb line and extending from this
center to the edge, shall be cut in the plastic sheet. As the plummet is
lowered, any out-of-plumb condition of the well will be indicated by the
wire rope tending to drift away from the center, and the plastic sheet
shall be rotated until the slot is oriented in the direction of this drift,
while at all times maintaining the center of the concentric circles
coincident with the center of the well. Measurement of the amount of drift
shall be made along the edge of the slot for each increment by which the
plummet is lowered into the well. Drift at any depth shall be determined
by multiplying the measured plumb line displacement by the total length of
the plumb line and dividing the result by the fixed distance between the
guide sheave and the top of the well. If desired, alignment may be
calculated from the plumbness data in lieu of the alignment check described
in paragraph ALIGNMENT. Should the well vary from the vertical in excess
of [150][_____] mm [6][_____] inches per 30 m 100 feet of depth, the
plumbness of the well shall be corrected by the Contractor at no additional
cost to the Government.
Alignment shall be tested by lowering into the well a section of cylinder
[3][6][10][15] m [10][20][40] feet long or a dummy of the same length. The
outside diameter of cylinder shall be not more than 13 mm 1/2 inch smaller
