Worlds Best Fried Chicken Recipe
World's Best Fried Chicken Recipe
Fried Chicken or Southern Fried Chicken is usually cut up pieces of chicken that is breaded and deep fried. And this recipe for fried chicken makes some of the most delicious fried chicken that you will ever eat.
I guarantee you that when your family or guests taste this fried chicken they are going to go Wow!. I have been making this delicious fried chicken all my life and over the years I have refined the recipe adding some ingredients and taking some ingredients away.
My Grandmother Hattie Propst was the first one to show me how to fry chicken and I've been working on developing the perfect fried chicken recipe for the last 50 years or so. But here I'm going to share what I consider to be the World's Best Recipe for Fried Chicken so you can make it today.
The real secret to this fried chicken is that you need to double bread your chicken. You will need to place each piece of chicken into the milk/egg mixture and then into the dry mix and then back into the milk/egg mixture and then back into the dry mix. And believe me double breading your chicken makes it the best in the world.
Chicken Breader Recipe.
1. 4 Cups Self Rising Flour.
2. 1 Envelope Dry Italian Dressing Mix.
3. 1 Teaspoon Salt.
4. 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper.
5. 1 Teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper.
6. 1 Teaspoon Dry Ground Sage.
7. 1 Teaspoon Cumin.
Mix all of the above 7 ingredients together in a gallon plastic bag. Shake very well to make sure all your ingredients are mixed together very well.
Milk / Egg Mixture Recipe
In a large plastic bowl add 8 large eggs and beat them very well with an electric hand mixer. Add in 2 quarts of whole milk and beat very well together.
Now you will want to have a whole fryer cut up for frying or you can use chicken thighs which taste wonderful when cooked in this wonderful chicken breading. Just be sure to follow the directions above and double bread each piece of chicken. Once you have all your chicken double breaded your going to want to place the breaded chicken on a tray or plates and cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before you fry your chicken in a 350 degree home deep fryer. Fry your chicken until your thickest pieces of chicken register 160 degrees on a meat thermometer. Be sure you insert your meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
Once you have fried your chicken you will want to drain your chicken well on paper towels.

An anaesthetist is a doctor who specialises in anaesthetics and is trained to provide pain management, resuscitation and intensive care for patients before, during and after surgery.
Anaesthetists may work in private practice on their own, in partnership with another medical practitioners, in a group practice, in community health centres and in public hospitals. They work in cities, suburbs and rural townships.
Full-time anaesthetists in South Australia generally earn more than $1,600 per week.
Opportunities for medical graduates depend on a variety of factors such as birth and death rates, population levels and movements, changing patterns of illness and injury, technological advances in health care, the trend towards preventative medicine and the cost to the patient of treatment and health insurance. While most city areas and major towns are well supplied with medical practitioners, there are shortages in some city areas and in almost all rural/remote locations. In 2011 there were 241 people employed full-time as anaesthetists in South Australia compared with 217 in 2006.
You need to study medicine at university and follow this with specialist post graduate training. At school consider doing English, maths, chemistry biology and physics.

Press release
Justine Greening statement on 5 years of conflict in Syria
International Development Secretary comments ahead of the 5th anniversary of the start of the conflict.
Speaking ahead of the 5th anniversary of the start of the conflict in Syria on 15 March, International Development Secretary Justine Greening said:
For a whole generation of Syrian children, war and displacement is the only life they have ever known or can now remember. This is a conflict that has destroyed not only schools and hospitals, but childhoods as well.
For hundreds of thousands of Syrians exhausted by five years of bloodshed, the current cessation of hostilities has offered some respite and at least a reduction in the number of attacks on civilians. Desperately needed deliveries of food, winter clothing and other essential aid are now getting through to besieged areas across Syria.
This is a start, but we must do more. That means ensuring aid workers have a free hand to get help wherever it is needed, regardless of who holds the ground. It also means speeding up the process for agreeing access and making sure that medical supplies and surgical items are not blocked from being delivered.
While sieges continue to starve families in towns and cities across Syria and arbitrary restrictions on the free movement of people and goods remain in place, Syria's suffering will continue. These sieges must be lifted. Ultimately, only a resumption of peace talks and a negotiated political solution can bring about an end to this crisis.
Since day one of this conflict, the UK has consistently led the way in getting help where it is needed and in galvanising the international response. Our support far exceeds any previous response to a humanitarian crisis and millions of people are receiving lifesaving water, food, shelter and medical care as a result.
Last month, the UK co-hosted an international conference in London for Syria and the region, where the international community came together to promise in excess of $11 billion - more than has ever been committed for a humanitarian crisis in a single day.
We also pledged to provide an education for all children who have been robbed of the chance to go to school by the conflict. And we agreed commitments to create at least 1 million jobs in countries neighbouring Syria, so that refugees get the chance to make a life close to their home. These long-term promises provide the best support for Syria and the region and are also in our national interest.
At the London Conference, the world spoke with one voice to offer the Syrian people and their children the promise of a better future. We pledged that we would stand alongside them now and when the time came to rebuild their country.
To do anything less would be a betrayal of the people of Syria.
Notes to editors
- The UK has committed over £2.3 billion in humanitarian support in response to the Syria crisis since 2012. This includes allocations to over 30 implementing partners, including United Nations agencies, international non-governmental organisations and the Red Cross, and is helping to meet the immediate needs of vulnerable people in Syria and of refugees in the region.

Nicola, Pete, Lola and Nell love to travel - but try not to rack up their carbon footprint as they go. Here's how...
Today spent a happy half hour at my favourite local shop, Unpackaged in Amwell Street, where the food is wholesome and the staff (well Cath) emails you if they haven't seen you for a while - not to chase your cash, but to check that you are OK. How caring is that? The bill is always complicated by 50 pences off each container you bring and 10 per cent Wedge card discount etc, so Cath showed me a calculator version of the final tally as if we were in the souk and I couldn't quite get my head around the bargain carpet I'd negotiated over Moroccan tea. Admittedly I went home with rather less extravagant (and easier to carry) purchases, but it was a lovely out-of-UK shopping moment. I can't promise you'll be offered a repeat souk skit, but there's plenty of other reasons to go to Unpackaged yourself. And it's the shop's second birthday in November too.

Bringing Home the Bacon
We first noticed the fridge was dying when the frozen meat began to bleed and the ice cream turned to soup. As in the life of all appliances, eventually wires get rusty, compressors give up, and lights blink out. As my fridge coughed up its last breaths of cold air, my boyfriend and I frantically made preparations.
What do I do with a fridge full of food about to spoil?
I turn the beef into meatloaf. I turn the chicken into meat pie. I turn the bacon in to meat…..cake.
Meat cake?!!
Yes, as appliance death breathes down my neck, I embrace creativity and bring about new life. And thus the bacon cupcake is born. Sure, the combination of chocolate and bacon is not a new concept. In no way am I breaking new ground in the cupcake world. But it was – in the face of certain disaster – a fun and tasty way to curb certain spoilage.
To some, a bacon cupcake sounds as good as licking a slug. But I assure you it's more than a pregnant woman's late night craving, it is the sweet and salty treat you didn't know you would fall in love with. Go ahead - try it out for yourself! I dare you!
Start with any chocolate cake recipe. You may have a personal favorite, or use a box mix. Below is my mother's Never Fail Chocolate Cake Recipe! It's a heavier cake with rich texture and flavor.
You will also need one recipe of Ganache.
Preparing the Bacon:
Cook one package of bacon. You can do this the normal way in a fry pan, or you can make absolutely perfect bacon – the Alton Brown way:
The Alton Brown Secret to Perfect Bacon:
1) Get out a waffle iron and heat it up on medium.
2) Cut your bacon strips in half.
3) Place four to five half strips of bacon on the waffle iron. Close top and cook for 2 min, 30 seconds.
4) Open iron and move bacon around so another area will get cooked. Cook for another two and a half minutes.
5) Pull out your amazing strips of bacon and repeat! Not only will the bacon be flat (great for presentation) but it will be the perfect balance of crispy and fatty. Mmmmmmmmm Bacon!
Take half of your bacon and crumble it into bits for the batter. Save the other half to decorate the top of your cupcakes!
Mom's Never Fail Chocolate Cake Recipe (with Bacon):
Cake Ingredients:
1 egg
½ cup cocoa
½ cup shortening
1 ½ cup flour
½ cup sour milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
½ cup boiling water
1 cup sugar
(Plus: your bacon bits and strips from above)
1) Mix all ingredients in a bowl (including bacon bit pieces).
2) To make sour milk – add a tbsp of vinegar to the milk and let it sit for a few minutes.
3) Dish out cupcakes into liners in a cupcake tray. I like to use an ice cream scoop for equal portions.
4) Bake for 20 – 30 min, checking cupcakes with a toothpick for done-ness.
5) Let cupcakes cool.
6) Make ganache recipe and dip cool cupcakes into the mixture.
7) While ganache is still liquid dip bacon strips into the ganache and garnish the tops of your cupcakes.
8) Eat left over bacon for breakfast tomorrow! Mmmmmm bacon!

Flowers are things of Spring. They are things of beauty. They are things of life and of color. Flower are great for awakening your child's mind and imagination, both boys and girls. Here a couple simple, thrifty ways to make flower art with your toddlers and preschoolers.
Draw zigzags horizontally across the center of your construction paper. Have your young one cut along the lines. Mount your grass in a long row.
Tuck and bend your pipe cleaners where you want your flowers to be. Tape at the top of each (they will be covered by the flowers themselves).
To make your flowers, take a pretty long strand of streamer from your roll. Your kids will have fun crumpling these up and spinning a little, then gluing the loose parts. Also, make sure they make little centers for their flowers by pulling off 6-inch pieces and crumpling really tightly. Glue them on the flowers.
Allow to dry for several hours (we waited til the next day). Use double stick tape or fold tape onto itself so that it is sticky on both sides and mount each flower to its stem, making sure to cover the tape at the top of your pipe cleaners.
Additionally, you can create leaves with pipe cleaners, construction paper, etc...
There are so many ways to create springtime flower crafts for your little ones. Look around. See what you come up with and let your child's imagination bloom.

Tonight's game against the Miami Marlins will be the 8,000th regular season game in Mets franchise history.
The Mets are have a won-loss record of 3829-4162 with eight ties in their history going into tonight.
Johan Santana will take the mound as millions of Mets fans will dream the impossible dream – a Mets no-hitter.
Brian Costa of The Journal reports that there have been 252 no-hitters in the majors since 1876 — and 131 since the Mets debuted in 1962.
It's been an Amazin' ride for the Mets; rich with a history of the most glorious highs and exhilarating victories to the most crushing lows and agonizing defeats.
From their very first game when opening day starter Roger Craig fired the very first pitch for those Lovable Losers, through tonight when a new ace, Johan Santana, leads an exciting group of overachieving players who nobody gave a chance to (well we did), the Mets have held an enduring love affair with their adoring fanbase.
Here's to 8,000 and to another 8,000 more…

This used to be awesome!!
Someone asked me a question on twitter today and I went back to the archives to find a certain entry I wrote about layering. Upon searching I ran into this one
, I have in many ways realized that this past year I have been a failure!! I spent more time at the office. I have accepted more call-backs. I have spent a load of time on-call. The worst thing I have done is not talking to the boss and giving the work for life not live for work speech. I spent this last year overstressed under funn'ed (not a word) and angry. It has affected the ones I love and at the end of the day I made a little more money...
I think it's time to go back to my old ways and enjoy life. These past 2 weeks were amazing!! I spent time with my family without thinking about work!!
Then I went back to work with more of what I used to/should be.
It's going to take a little time for me to get back into shape, but hopefully before that I can fix the things I truly screwed up and and start to be that guy I used to be!!
for now I'm out!!

Financial and non-financial consequences of breaching the Ordinance
A person, company or trade association that breaches one of the competition rules in the Competition Ordinance (Ordinance) is exposed to serious consequences including pecuniary penalties, third party claims for damages, disqualification from managing a corporation and costs (own costs as well as those of the other party or parties).
The Competition Tribunal (Tribunal) also has the power to make a range of other orders that can have serious commercial consequences for you including an order which voids an agreement, which requires you to do a certain act, or which requires you to do business with a person in a particular way.
The maximum pecuniary penalty the Tribunal can impose for each contravention is 10 per cent of the gross revenue of an undertaking obtained in Hong Kong, for each year in which the contravention occurred. This is in-line with the maximum fine that can be imposed in most other jurisdictions and can amount to fines of multiple millions of dollars. Only the Tribunal, and not the Competition Commission (Commission), has the power to impose pecuniary penalties.
Third party damages and follow-on actions
A person that has breached the Ordinance is also exposed to claims for third party damages as the Tribunal has the power to order a person to pay damages to anyone that has suffered loss or damage as a result of a contravention. If the Tribunal has not made an order for damages, but has declared that a person breached the Ordinance, those that have suffered loss or damage may bring follow-on actions before the Tribunal. Similarly, a follow-on action may be brought before the Tribunal if the Commission has accepted an admission by a person as part of a commitment (more on commitments in our next alert).
Adverse costs orders
The Tribunal may order the party who has contravened the Ordinance to pay the costs of the Commission's investigation. This will be in addition to your own costs of defending the proceedings and investigation. These could be particularly onerous if the persons involved do not live in Hong Kong and you need to pay associated travel costs and other disbursements on top of legal advice.
Disqualification from managing a company and fines for non-compliance
The Tribunal has the power to disqualify a person from being (or continuing to be) a director, manager, liquidator or receiver of a company. The Tribunal must be satisfied that the person was, or is, a director the company which has contravened a competition rule and the Tribunal considers that that person's conduct makes the person unfit to manage the company. A company faced with such an order could be faced with another great expense if it is forced to replace key management where one or more of its employees have been slapped with a disqualification order. These orders can be for a period of up to five years.
Failure to comply with a disqualification order may result in a fine of up to HKD 1 million or a level six fine and imprisonment of up to six months.
Other remedies
The Tribunal has very broad powers to remedy any harm caused, or that will be caused, by the contravention, including the power to:
- declare that a person has contravened a competition rule (exposing that party to third party claims)
- order a person to restrain from or to prohibit a person from engaging in certain conduct or to otherwise act in a certain way or do a certain thing;
- declare an agreement is void or voidable to the extent specified, prevent a person from making or giving effect to an agreement, or requiring the parties to amend or terminate an agreement; and
- pay an amount to the Government that does not exceed the profits gained or loss avoided as a result of the contravention
Fines and imprisonment for non-cooperation
The Commission has the power to investigate suspected breaches of the Ordinance, including the power to obtain documents and information and require that persons attend before the Commission to answer questions, even where the information may be self-incriminating. The Commission may also enter and search premises subject to obtaining a warrant empowering it to do so.
Failure to cooperate with the Commission in the exercise of such powers is an offence and may result in a fine of up to HKD 200,000 and imprisonment of up to one year or a level five fine and imprisonment up to six months.
Further, it is an offence to:
- destroy or falsify documents;
- obstruct a search under a search warrant; or
- provide false or misleading documents or information.
All of which may result in a fine of up to HKD 1 million and imprisonment of up to two years or a level six fine and imprisonment up to six months.

The farm bill recently passed out of the Senate Agriculture Committee is now being considered by the full Senate. The 2013 farm bill cuts spending by $24 billion while strengthening initiatives that help farmers and small business owners create agriculture jobs.
Among statements from Senators regarding the legislation:
- Nevada Sen. Harry Reid: "Democrats and Republicans disagree on many things. So it's really remarkable and encouraging to see how well (Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee and Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran, ranking member) worked together to bring the agriculture jobs bill to the floor. Their work has been exemplary – some would say old-fashioned – the way things used to be."
- Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss: "Thank you Madam Chair, and first of all let me commend you and the ranking member on working hard once again to produce what we all know from firsthand experience is a very difficult bill to produce. The process is always difficult to do, trying to match up all regions and all crops, so I want to commend you. … The biggest issue facing our country now is the growing debt and deficit, and I commend this committee for doing the needed work to find the needed savings. … That is remarkable Madam Chair that you have been able to craft a bill with that kind of number in there under the conditions we are operating in."
- Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar: "It's been 327 days since the Senate passed the last farm bill in June of 2012. Since that time farmers, ranchers, rural communities in America have been through a lot. In 2012, we had the worst drought since 1956, costing the country billions of dollars. … I'm so pleased with the work this committee has done, the bipartisan work this committee has done, and I'm also pleased we found a way to do this while still reducing the debt. We've eliminated direct payments and further focused farm programs on our family farmers and I urge this committee to stick with its $23 billion target to ensure we have the strongest bill possible."
- Arkansas Sen. John Boozman: "We appreciate you having the markup today and for all your hard work in bringing forward this bipartisan and reform oriented legislation. Like all of the other members of this committee I recognize that our producers need a strong five year farm bill that ensures our nation will have the world's safest, most affordable and most reliable food supply and fiber. We know that the only way to accomplish this is for this committee to report a bipartisan bill that provides a safety net for all crops and regions, invests in the future of rural America, preserves the safety net for the most vulnerable members of our communities, and finally a bill that includes significant reforms and contributes to reducing our federal deficit."
- Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin: "I thank you Madam Chair for your great leadership of this committee. I always marvel at the fact that our Chair has the unique distinction of having served on the Agriculture Committee in the state legislature, the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate. I don't know that anyone else has ever had that kind of a career. And I thank you for all of your diligence in getting this bill through when there are some really tremendous and terrible hardships in the budget. … Hopefully we can get this over the finish line now."
- Nebraska Sen. Mike Johanns: "I certainly know that creating a Farm bill is never easy and there are a lot of different philosophies about farm policies and of course we come from lots of different parts of the country with different crops. … The improvements [in this bill] reduce costs as well as make the programs more farmer friendly. This bill also helps farmers produce more food on less land, hope to do more in that area. And (it) includes new avenues to ensure that important work continues despite a tight federal budget."
- Montana Sen. Max Baucus: "I think I can speak for all members of the committee in expressing my appreciation for putting this together. It's been a long road. It's also very important that we have a five year bill. Many of us believe these short term extensions just don't make sense and I thank you for a five year bill. Five is a very important number -- one in five Montana jobs is related to agriculture, it's our number one industry. … I must say too, that the bill saves taxpayers a lot of money. With debt reduction that too is a big feather in your cap so there are a lot of reasons why this is good legislation and again I thank you very much for it."
- North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven: "Thank you to both you and the ranking member for getting us into this committee with this markup. I know farmers and ranchers across this great country appreciate it very much as well. I also appreciate the spirit in which you approached this farm bill, building on the work from the bill last session and really working to add some things that I hope can ensure that we go to the floor untied with this bill."
- North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp: "I wanted to tell you how grateful I am for your leadership and the leadership of the ranking member to bring this bill. … The farm bill has never been a partisan bill. … And so hopefully we'll be able to do this, we'll be able to achieve the compromise that we need to move this forward. But we're extremely hopeful that the House will also do this, and just for once if we can set a goal of getting this done before the expiration of the extension, that would be an amazing feat and one I think we would talk about for a lot years as an example of what we can do."
- Massachusetts Sen. Mo Cowan: "I speak not just for the farmers that till the soil and cultivate the land but for those who cultivate the sea. I also want to applaud you and others for the hard fought agreement on conservation compliance as represented in the mark up. I think this a good compromise and everyone will benefit. … I want to thank you Madam Chair for doing your best to protect the SNAP benefits in this bill and others. I know it's not been easy, there's more work to be done. … I look forward to the conversation today and the amendment process and taking a bipartisan bill to the floor."

The Barren Librarian came up with a pretty nifty idea! Once a week, she posts three things about herself that have nothing to do with infertility and she calls this fun little game "That's Me Thursday!"
Today I'm going to tell you three things about me that have nothing to do with my IF because goddamnit, IF is NOT who I am. I'll do this every Thursday until I run out of interesting/embarrasing/hilarious things to share. I'd love to learn more about all of you, because goddamnit, IF is NOT who you are either. So if you want to participate please let me know in the comments so I can check in and see all the awesome things about you!"
We should really get into this! One of my favorite parts of blogging has been watching the connections I make here grow into friendships, and since we can't all get together and giggle over the itty bitty details over a bottle (or two) of wine (okay, okay, decaf coffee if we have to be fertility-friendly and boring like that!) like normal little groups of friends, let's give this "That's Me Thursday" thing a try. See what we learn about each other that has absolutely nothing to do with examining pee sticks through one bloodshot eye at 5 in the morning.
Seriously, I'm curious! Who are you people?? ;P
1.) I am fascinated by medical anomalies. Well, anything medical, really… but the more bizarre, the better. Ever heard of the Mutter Museum? It's sort of a dream of mine to go there. I was probably a mad scientist in a previous life. I don't mean the sick and twisted "do experiments on people" kind, just the "have shelves of two-headed babies in jars" kind. Um. Yeah. That's not helping things, is it? Moving on.
2.) I play video games. Not incredibly interesting, but it's not something you hear about every day. (What else is a childless 26-year-old woman supposed to do for fun, anyway?) The husband and I don't watch TV (aside from a few good shows what we keep up with on Netflix or Hulu) so our spare time usually consists of shooting aliens or zombies. Or Minecraft. He says this trait is one of the reasons why he married me. He better be kidding. 😀
3.) Would you like an embarrassing story? Well, here ya go! My parents bought a new house in a new state in 2012 but wouldn't be able to move for a few months. We all agreed that my husband and I should move down early and "house sit" until they could get there. It seemed like a pretty good idea, since my husband was scheduled to leave for basic training within a few weeks anyway and I was going to stay with my family until his training was complete. This would give me a little over a month and a half being completely on my own, but I would be able to focus on the cleaning/unpacking/organizing/planning for my family's arrival to the sunshine state. I'm a nester, so I was okay with that. Plus, there was a pool, so yeah, I wasn't going to argue. ;P
Unfortunately, at that time, I had never been on my own before. Also, I am a scaredy cat with an extremely overactive imagination. You've probably already figured out where this is going…
My husband had been gone for about a week, and my nerves were already pretty shot. Puppy begins whining about 5AM for her morning walk – right on schedule, of course. So I go downstairs with her and just before I reach the back doors I hear the sound that the outdoor shower by the pool makes when it's running, but it's too dark to see anything outside. I run up to my room, grab my golf club and my phone, and hide in the closet and call (who else?) my mother. I tell her that someone is outside the house, and she obviously tells me to call the police. So, one frantic 911 call later the cops are shining their flashlights and checking around. One finally comes to the front door and is greeted by my pajama-wearing-golf-club-carrying-crazy-ass…
He explains to me that the sound I was hearing was simply the sprinkler system.
No crazy midnight outdoor shower bandits, just sprinklers on a timer, spraying water a little too close to the house.
Not my finest moment, I tell ya.

If you get the hang of things, cooking can be a ton of fun. In the following paragraphs, you'll find tips that will improve your cooking and leave you feeling more confident in the kitchen. You will have a lot of fun cooking after learning the advice offered in this article.
If you have decided that you might like to cook more food at home, look for a great book that can help you. These books can be found in many places: the library, online or even a family member. Focus on one recipe at a time and give yourself enough time to improve your cooking.
If you are going to make a stir-fry dish, slice the meat on the bias, as thinly as possible. Slicing the meat can take a lot of time and be rather tricky. Remove meat when firm but no longer frozen, and slice it 45 degrees across the grain.
There are ways to fix your work and make it so you are able to instantly use it. Mix together a solution of one tablespoon corn starch and two tablespoons water. Add the mixture into sauce and set to simmer in order to thicken it. Be sure to gradually stir in the solution, and frequently stir the sauce so that it does not become too thick.
If you do any lengthy cooking process like boiling, many of the nutrients will be cooked out. To retain these nutrients, rely on cooking methods that don't take a lot of time, including steaming or sauteing. You can even eat them raw if you have the taste for it.
Longer cooking methods, such as boiling, take out a lot of the healthy nutrients that are found in vegetables. To preserve a vegetable nutritious value, cook quickly by either steaming or sauteing it. Ideally you should consume the vegetable in its raw state.
If you are cooking an important meal for a significant person, such as a boss or a date, you should not serve a dish you've never attempted to cook before. Do not attempt to take on a fancy new recipe, or use ingredients you have not previously worked with. By doing so, you eliminate much of the stress of preparing the meal.
Cook your vegetables quickly to retain quality and nutrients. If you slow cook your vegetables, they will lose their nutritional value. These cooking techniques are much healthier. Only cook vegetables as much as you have to, in order to preserve their taste and nutritional value.
Do you want to take the guesswork out of deciding how long to leave your meat on the grill? When grilling, use a good quality meat thermometer. A digital thermometer is best and will ensure that meat is cooked thoroughly and safely. Think about closing your grill's lid to cut down on grill time any time you grill meat thicker than an inch and a half.
Are you going to cook with fresh basil? If so, put lots of fresh basil into a glass. The stems will then need to be covered with water. It will remain fresh for weeks, just sitting on the kitchen counter! If you continue to refresh the water, the basil will begin to grow roots for planting. You should also trim the basil once in a while so it grows even more.
Add chicken broth to vegetables when you cook them. It will keep veggies from getting stuck to the bottom of the pan and add a little flavor. Broth can be found at nearly any grocery store, and is very inexpensive.
Wooden skewers should be soaked in water for a minimimum of thirty minutes before they are used. Being soaked in the water prevents them from getting burned when exposed to the cooking heat. Try using two skewers parallel to one another instead of just one skewer.
If you are watching your weight and trying to eat healthy, it is essential to reduce the amount of oil you use when you cook. Oils and butter are a source of fats. A nonstick cooking spray will suffice and is not as unhealthy.
If your dish calls for a bit of garlic, make sure the garlic is as fresh as possible. As a rule of thumb, garlic will taste sweeter the fresher it is. You will know if garlic is fresh if it is not bruised, soft or shriveled and has firm skin.
You need to soak wooden skewers in water for approximately thirty minutes prior to using them. Using this method, you will not burn them when you're cooking. To prevent food from falling from the skewers, use two parallel skewers rather than just one.
Keep the bone in the roast if you want it to cook faster. The meat cooks faster because the bone will carry the heat through the inside of the roast, helping it cook from the inside out. When your roast is finished, simply cut around any bones before you serve.
Be certain to use only wines that you enjoy as ingredients in your recipes. By using a wine you do not like or one that you are unfamiliar with, you are jeopardizing the taste of your food. Look through your grocery store to find wines that are used specifically for cooking.
The stress of making dinner can be alleviated by prepping certain ingredients the night before. Do little things for your meals the night before so your mealtime will be a little bit easier. This will make you much more prepared, less stressed out, and ready to begin cooking the following day.
If you purchase fruit that is still green and want it to ripen quickly, put it in a plastic bag with perforations. When fruits ripen, they produce ethylene gas. When air is allowed to reach the fruit, the gas will not escape, thereby maintaining its flavor and freshness for a longer period of time.
Before you begin to cook, your utensils should be clean. Any leftover food residue can ruin the food you are preparing. This can allow harmful bacteria to spread.
When you are sauteing a food, make sure you do not add too much to the pan. Too much liquid in the pan will result in steamed, soggy food and not the crispy texture you were trying to achieve by sauteing. Always saute over a low flame or low setting on your stove-top.
To have especially flavor rich foods, produce your own stock. Extra stock can be stored in the freezer and used later. By doing this, you'll always have great tasting homemade stock when you desire to create soups or other types of dishes. Preparing your own stock in advance will reduce your need to use cheap over-salted options instead.
There are many ways to heat tortillas. The first is to preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and put the tortilla directly on the rack until it is the desired crispness. If you want something different, heating tortillas on the top of your gas stove makes them yummy while leaving nice grill marks. Cooking the tortillas in these manners will help to make it tastier and fresher.
Shake a little salt onto your cutting board when you are chopping up fresh herbs. The salt helps to keep the herbs on the cutting board during chopping and also adds some extra flavor. Then monitor the amount of salt that you add to the food as it is cooking. The salt that is used on this board gives your herbs some extra flavor because it sticks to them.
Check to make sure your meat is cooked thoroughly by using a meat thermometer. All types of meat should be cooked to a specific, minimum internal temperature before it can be safely consumed. Bacteria flourish on the meats, so you need to make sure the meet is cooked properly and thoroughly so the bacteria don't stay on the meat and cause sickness if you were to consume the meat.
When you saute food, try to avoid filling the pan with oil. Too much liquid in the pan will result in steamed, soggy food and not the crispy texture you were trying to achieve by sauteing. Be sure that you do this when the temperature is low too.
Keep your spices and herbs in a dry, cool, dark place. Spices can quickly lose their flavors when exposed to heat, light and humidity. Such close proximity to these three factors will cause your spices to lose their flavors.
Be sure to not attempt a recipe that you have never made before when you are cooking for somebody important to you. Whether it is for friend, family or employer, you want to present your best effort. You can impress them; just do it with something you already know you can pull off.
Fresh Herbs
Make use of stackable cooling racks. When you are making large quantities of baked goods, they can quickly take up all the available space when you take them out of the oven to cool. Therefore, stackable cooling racks allow you to capitalize on your limited counter space. The use of more vertical space is effective in cooling your cookies, and it gives you much more space to tackle the rest of your baking.
You should always use fresh seasoning and herbs whenever the dish you are cooking is simple. Complex dishes with multiple tastes are fine places to use dried herbs, such as oregano or basil. On the other hand, fresh herbs produce a more lively, strong flavor that will benefit the taste of the entire dish. One way to guarantee you will have fresh herbs is to have a herb garden.
Bake dishes that have a lot of oil in them when you are reheating. Microwave radiation congeals oil in dishes being reheated. Baking slowly and consistently can reheat your whole dish and keep all its parts cohesive.
You can cook oysters in a variety of fresh, exciting ways. Oysters are typically eaten raw with maybe a splash of lemon, but there are other ways to prepare them. Opened oysters can be placed on a pan appropriate for broiling and covered with a moderate dose of cream. Sprinkle parmesan and pepper on top, and broil the oysters until they start bubbling. Not a fan of that method? Try sauteing the oysters instead. Coat oysters with some seasoned flour and saute in warm butter for a couple of minutes, until they are golden. Keep the oysters in the shells while baking. Plop it in a rectangular dish, add a tiny bit of butter, then sprinkle some breadcrumbs on the oysters. Once you do all that, put it in the oven at 425 degrees and let it bake for 4-5 minutes. Serve your oysters once the butter starts bubbling.
Add spices after your dish is ready. Popular seasonings, such as garlic, hot peppers, herbs, and salts are desirable additions to any dish. Many people like different things in terms of spices. Provide spices and seasonings at the table when the dish is done, rather than adding them while you cook. Each person can personalize their own dish.
As was indicated in this article, you can pick up new cooking skills and enhance the ones you already have. With time and motivation, you will progress quickly. Keep these tips in mind and you'll rule the kitchen. With the proper attitude, cooking could be an exciting activity.
Here is a tip to avoid stress when you need to cook for a large group on a holiday. Rather than allowing yourself to panic at the last minute, you should complete all of the preparations on the night before. Make sure you have all your ingredients and make your sauces or marinades.

Children learn best through their everyday experiences with the people they love and trust, and when the learning is fun. As a public school teacher, I know that raising children who love to learn doesn't happen by accident. Many families do all that we can to foster and nurture learning in the earliest years of a child's life, as well we should. But when our children begin spending their days in the classroom, we aren't off the hook! Continuing to build a home where learning is nurtured and valued is one of the best ways we can equip our children for life after graduation.
Here are some practical ways to support learning at home:
READ, READ, READ- Study after study confirms that homes that create a culture devoted to literacy are the homes from which the most academically successful students come forth. Look for books that might excite your child to want to learn more. Reading a book is the springboard for all kinds of enrichment possibilities: math, science, social studies, art.
EXPLORE EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES-If you've never done so before, take some time to explore different approaches to education. Children learn in a variety of ways –There are three main cognitive learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. The beauty of a learning-rich home is that parents can supplement their child's learning in a way that meets their specific educational needs!
PROVIDE BALANCE TO AND SUPPLEMENT FOR CLASSROOM CURRICULUM-Ask your child what he would have like to know more about and explore those topics together! A trip to a natural science museum. A particularly fascinating work of literature might encourage a little digging to discover what popular culture was like at the time that piece was written. A unit on the color red could initiate a neighborhood scavenger hunt for all things red. Listening and responding to a child's interests helps further instill the idea that learning is fun and is never, ever limited to a classroom.
COLLECT HOME LEARNING MATERIALS-Homes where learning is emphasized contain tools that encourage education. Build a home library. Invest in a diverse music collection. Display prints of famous artworks next to framed pieces of your child's own art. Play board games that encourage critical thinking. Fill blank spaces with good words and clever thoughts signs that make everyone in the family stop and think. The number of ways to fill your home with the stuff of learning is limited only by your imagination, and you will never be disappointed by the returns on these investments!
Truly, the best way we can instill in our children the importance of learning for the sake of learning is to be life-long learners ourselves. As you go about your days spent with children at home, model for them the joy and fulfillment that comes from learning new things all the time.
I know first-hand the temptation in thinking that school is where my children learn and home is where we play. The truth is, a playful approach to learning all the time is one of the very best ways we can equip our children for lifelong success.
What schooling choices have you made for your children, and how do you create an environment for learning at home?

'FooGo' is a mobile application that allows consumers to have food delivered to their departure gate. For many business travelers, grabbing a bite at the airport is not always an option. This app is designed for travelers who may not have time to wait in a restaurant queue before boarding.
FooGo is a food delivery app that exclusively serves the Mumbai and Delhi airports. The app allows consumers to choose from any of the restaurants within the airport, which gives consumers a wide range of food options Meals must be placed 40 minutes before boarding so that they can be delivered directly to the customer's departure gate. When the customer arrives, they simply need to flash their boarding pass in order to pay for their meal. The app even allows customers to make special requests for gluten-free or lactose-free meals as long as those orders are placed 12 hours in advance.
The service is largely targeted at business travelers who may not have time to order food before catching their flight. FooGo is also ideal for travelers with special dietary needs.

Watch worn by US astronaut on Moon sells for $1.6 mn
Dave Scott, the commander of the 1971 Apollo 15 mission, wore the Bulova Chronograph while conducting experiments on the Moon after his standard-issue Swiss Omega became damaged.
It is the only watch worn on the Moon in private hands and was bought by a Florida businessman in a frenetic, 12-minute bidding war with a rival in Britain, said Boston-based RR Auction.
It is also the only American-made watch worn on the Moon and its $1,625,000 price smashed the auction house's pre-sale estimates of $750,000 to $1 million.
It was exposed to the lunar surface for more than four hours, and bears remnants of chalky, ash-type lunar material on its band and scratches on its face, the auction house said.
"It's worth what it sold for," Bobby Livingston, Executive VP at RR Auction, told AFP. The watch "played a major role in the safety of the mission," he added.
The dozen American men who have walked on the moon all wore NASA-issued Omega Speedmasters, which are considered US government property, and many are housed in institutions.
Omega won the contract to equip the Apollo program, bidding against five or six other companies, but Bulova was determined to get NASA to change their mind, testing their watch rigorously against the Speedmaster, Livingston said.
After he returned to the cabin following his second moonwalk, Scott saw that the crystal of his Omega had popped off, so for his third moonwalk, he strapped on his personal backup, the Bulova.

The most obvious difference is size. My school has 6,000 students. There are 2,000 students in grade 10 and classes are roughly 55 students each. The students remain in their one classroom for virtually all of their classes. The teachers come to them.
Unlike the US, the schools here are ranked according to test scores. The top scores in the region get you into the top schools. I teach at the #1 school, so I teach the kids that scored highest on their exams. Some live near the school, but many live in dorms. A lot of them come from outlying cities and towns, and I even know one girl from Beijing. The school has an excellent reputation.
There are 38 classes in grade 10, and they are also ranked according to test scores. Having the students in one classroom has its advantages. They become a community. They are responsible for the cleanliness of the room, and they have class activities. There are class leaders. Each class also has its own personality. Some are messy, some are neat. The higher ranked classes are always clean and neat, as is the bottom class. They have desks with a compartment, but it doesn't begin to hold all their stuff, so there are big plastic totes in the aisles full of books. It gives them their own space at school where they can study, nap or hang out when there is no class. There is no need for lockers.
Like most students in the world, they wear uniforms. These vary. The colors are royal blue and white. Different grades and classes might have variations. There is a standard polyester sweat suit, a blue polyester blazer, white shirts, blouses, black slacks, and off white slacks. The school is a little lax on uniforms and you see civilian clothes mixed with uniform parts a lot. The atmosphere is a little more relaxed than other schools. Boys shoot hoops between classes, and kids spend time listening to music and talking. I think the administration knows that they work very hard, so they cut them some slack.
The food in the cafeteria is much better here than in most American schools and definitely healthier. Lots of great Chinese food!
The work load is bone crushing. All of the grade 10 kids take the following classes: English, Mandarin, Geography, History, Social Studies, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Advanced Math, and PE. No elective classes, no art, no music, no organized sports, no dances, no drama class, no film class, and no prom. Also no parties, drugs, drinking, teen pregnancy or car driving.
They go to school 6 days a week and have homework during holidays. They have little time for the Internet and little time to pursue other academic interests. They don't have time for things like TV, movies, or shopping.
They come out of this well prepared for college, and with an incredible work ethic. Their math and science skills dwarf most American kids.
This is the top school, and I don't know what most of the others are like. I have a friend who teaches at #2 school and it is similar, only more strict.
What they don't get in their education is a chance to explore. Since they don't have time, they are limited in the time they could have reading literature, surfing the Net, and socializing. One boy in my English discussion group said that Chinese schools teach you things, but American schools teach you how to learn and question. They could make classes, especially English, smaller. I also think it wouldn't hurt to let them have a dance every once in a while.
They also don't have organized sports. The government thinks this would be a distraction to their studies. Maybe. I do know that my students are bookish kids with puny arms, except for the basketball dudes, and when they had a sports day, the performances were a little pathetic. Kind of like Napoleon Dynamite playing tetherball.
I didn't tell the kids about how many fewer classes American kids had to take, that many take just a few classes a day and they have weekends off. I didn't have the heart. I did say that a lot of kids opted for easier classes, which didn't necessarily prepare them for the future. I also talked about how hard the top students worked, just like them, only it was a bit of a lie. They still have dances, and a social life. They might even have time to participate in sports! Our kids have it easier, a lot easier, and that was something I tried hard not to emphasize since I didn't want to crush their spirits. Instead, I tried to put a positive spin on how they were building on their future, and how impressed I am with their work ethic and intelligence. Which I am.

Welcome to
Make Health Your Priority!
I have tried hundreds of different products and spent a fortune in doing so. I had resigned to the fact that going bald is something I must just accept. Last month I was at a lunch and someone told me about Ultimate Hair, Skin and Nails (UHSN).
Within the 1st week I had to call her and ask what was in this product because I felt amazing. I had more energy and enthusiasm for my day, obviously my hair wasn't sprouting yet but this was an added bonus that I had to question.
I've certainly noticed my hair loss has stopped amongst all the other added benefits that come with this amazing product.Simon Daniels
I am a 32 year old female. I was diagnosed 6 years ago with ovarian cancer. I had 9 months of chemo and my one ovary was removed, I went into remission. I was only given 6 months to live.
My hb was so low it was 5.5, I had no energy to get up or do anything.
I was then given Organimune drops to try, 5 drops in the morning and 5 drops in the afternoon and was amazed I could now get up and do things and lead a semi normal life. I have outlived the 6 months already.
Organimune is fantastic and makes me feel human againMichelle Nicholson
I Am 72 yrs old, ( male ). I have been using your product called Organamin for the past 20 years.
I have an hereditary problem of bad varicose veins . I suffered from very painful cramps during sleep, causing lack of sleep. Ulcers caused by the veins were an on going problem. Organamin has put an end to all above problems.
Additional benefits of general well being , more energy , sleep well, no more heart burn. I can certainly recommend the product which is 100% organic and sustainable.
I was introduced to Organamin when it entered the market …… (roughly 15 years ago), and have been an avid supporter of the product since then. Although I initially used it to supplement my daily calcium requirement, I soon began to experience other benefits, such as, relief from aching joints, insomnia, cramps, heartburn and indigestion.
For me, Organamin has been and still is, a "whow" product! I am never without it and wholeheartedly recommend it for all its beneficial properties.Sandy Malherbe

Richard Littlemore | October 6, 2010
By Richard Littlemore • Wednesday, October 6, 2010 - 11:14
The Conservative government of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has launched a huge Suncor-sponsored campaign to reframe climate change as a good thing for Canada's economy.
In a joint project between the government's National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy and the (in this case compromised) Royal Canadian Geographic Society, the Conservatives have introduced "Climate Prosperity," on the face of it, a benign educational program that "lays out the physical effects of climate hange on Canada."
But (points for transparency), the government also admits the thrust of the campaign on its tar-sands-funded website:
"While the phrase 'climate change' is familiar to many — and a scientifically accepted phenomenon — the phrase 'climate prosperity' is newer. It is a phrase the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy wants Canadians to embrace."
Canada, which has been actively blocking international efforts to negotiate an extension or useful replacement for the Kyoto Protocol that would actually begin to deal with the threats of global warming, has a different plan. As NRTEE President and CEO David McLaughlin explains it: "Adapt and prosper will be increasingly central to Canadian governments, communities, and businesses as these effects become more and more evident."
It is, perhaps, to the Conservatives' good fortune that they have allies in Canada's newly remade national newspaper, the Toronto Globe and Mail. For more than a week, the Globe has been rolling out a series of stories celebrating all the great benefits that will accrue to Canada in a climate changing world. On Saturday, Sept. 24, the paper began with a long John Allemang feature on the bright future that awaits Canada in 2050. This past Saturday, Oct. 2, columnist Doug Saunders cheered on the news that the "Inuit of Greenland have weather on their side." And today, John Ibbitson, who often seems to play the role of Prime Minister Harper's unofficial press spokestser, cherry-picked his way through the NRTEE report to crow about "The Silver Lining in Climate Changes's Clouds." Kudos, then, to the Editorial page staff who, at lest urged, "Don't Accentuate the Positive."
It seems to be a message lost on the NRTEE. If you pick your way through its membership, through the collection of politicians and business people, you will, perhaps, not be surprised by the direction of the spin. The Round Table lacks any representation from science and, as environmentalists, must settle with the CEO of a biodeisel company, and the executive director of Environment Probe, "a public interest organization that promotes property rights and market mechanisms to protect the environment," (appearing like a well-funded, green-cloaked business lobby to fight government regulation).
In defence of some of the actual material, if you look past what spin doctors like Ibbitson promote as the exciting bits - eg., an expansion in the Canadian cruise-ship industry and easier access to northern oil and gas - much of the rest of the material appears to be accurate, scientifically sound - and horrifying.
But let's not concentrate on the negative, shall we. Let's turn away from the rest of the disenfranchised world and embrace Climate Prosperity.
Definitely getting stupid in here . . .
What never ceases to amaze me is the way people continue to cite access to oil and gas reserves in the north as a POSITIVE aspect of climate change. Am I missing something? Will this not convert untold trillions of tons of safely stored CO2 into GREENHOUSE GASES floating freely in the atmosphere to do what CO2 does best????
This "I'm alright, Jack" attitude assumes that what happens in the rest of the world will have no impact on us, that mass migrations won't end up on our doorstep, or that Canadians have no responsibilities as citizens of the world to address the negative impact of climate change elsewhere.
And now I hear they are trying to quantify the economic value of polar bears.
I will retire to Bedlam. Fern
environment probe = energy probe.
Environment Probe (http://www.eprf.ca/eprf/index.html) has a prominent link to Energy Probe on its website.
Energy probe is a Canadian global-warming-denying, anti-science, anti-nuclear collection of wing-nuts.

hey Richard, Thanks for bringing my attention to this. As a photographer who has worked for Canadian Geographic it was an unpleasant surprise. I wrote a letter to the editor about it. Viewable at vanwaardenphoto.com/photography-blog/letter-editor-canadian-geographic
