There are two major types of plantain in BC, Canada: Lance and Broadleaf. Generally, all 200-plus varieties of plantain yield the same results. It grows especially well in poor, rocky soil (such as driveways) and is often seen alongside dandelion.
More often than not, you will see plantain growing in gravel pits and construction sites as nature seeks to regenerate the soil. Introduced to North America in the 1600s, it was once called “White Man’s Foot” by the Native Americans who witnessed that where the Europeans tread and disrupted the soil, plantain sprung up.
Plantain is renowned for its healing effect on the digestive system. This is especially useful for anyone who has been damaged by antibiotics, anti-inflammatory or pain medications, food allergies, or Celiac disease. Both leaves and seeds specifically target the digestive system for healing.
The leaves may be steeped as tea, added to soups, or dried with a sauce similar to kale chips. The seeds – a type of psyllium – can be ground or soaked for bulk mucilage or absorbable fibre, which, consumed before meals, may help with weight loss.
Good. I’ve got a huge patch of it.
Got lots of this. Who knew.
I have zillions of them come spring snd summer. Good to know.
I should be the healthiest person on earth. This is all over my yard.
I still have some from my garden I picked and dried for tea.
Your board game called Wildcraft has a serious medicinal error about comfrey!
This stuff is the best. Got stung by about 15 yellow jackets a couple of summers ago. A friend (Lindsay Madison) told me to pick some and chew it up, then rub on the stings. Pain instantly stopped, but what’s even better was I didn’t have any itching days later. I had never even heard of it before that, but now I watch for it in my yard and eat it up. I heard it’s a super green and it’s good food for the brain.
Did you read it Bob?
Harvest it when it young. Gets very stringy when older.
Justin Craig something like this might help some eve issues ?
Zakiyya Ismail please can you tell me the name of this plant – there was a f*#king pop up blocking the article promising me I could come back to the article – I tried several times hopping it would make the PU go away or give me an close option. NO Freaking luck. I dislike PU’ s very much.
Thank you Loria Chaddon my apologies – clearly I’m still working on patience????. I’d still love to read the article.
And I hated them. Those roots.
What’s the name of this weed ?
Wow! I need to start eating my weeds.. These love my lawn and I’m constantly pulling them! ????
i will be eating off the lawn this summer!
knew about this plant all my life.
Good for infections, ground it up and put on infection, bandage, It will help lots.
I thought Plantain was a relative of the banana ??
I didn’t look at their site which wants to sell something. Back home we knew it as Plantain (sp?). The story goes; when Dad was 5 years old, he wandered out to the bee hive and stuck a stick inside. Grandma said when she looked out all she saw was a mound of bees all over him and a stick waving in the air. Grandma got him in the house and ordered everyone to pick every plantain they could find. She made a poultice and put it all over. She said it saved his life. Today, I have used ammonia on a bee sting and it works nicely.
I love this plant! Takes the itch out if bites and also tastes really good.
It grows all over the parks by my casa in Anaheim.
I have the tea almost every night. I find it just sweet enough. Such a lovely fresh soothing taste.
We in Hawai?i call it “Laukahi”. When I was very young my grandma treated my asthma with this.
Does it grow in SE Texas?
Grows everywhere here in lreland too.. l dont know if we have the same name for it.
Barry, the name we have for it is in Hawaiian. Perhaps you could give your university there a call (agriculture dept) and they might be able to tell you about it. Please share what you find. It’s great for diabetes as well.
I use it all the time, especially at my cottage for it’s antiseptic and astringent qualities. Also in stir fries and salads.
I always add plantain to a herbal infusion for coughs and colds.
Useful information Randy WayneI Mcgregor!!! ??
Yes plantains! I think. I didn’t read it . Looks like plantain weeds though. Super good for many things.
And they are very at home on green roofs too!
We call this KopaKopa in NewZealand – great for sores, cuts, burns, surface wounds etc.
and full of vit. C.
My pigs loved this plant.
The Nazis put the children to work to pick Plantain for Wound Dressing during WW2.

This paper presents our solution for calibrating web panels. We use this method for our syndicated study (FOTO) as well as any web survey that studies a population for which we can obtain comparable data. Whenever possible, every study based on web panels is verified, weighted and calibrated using our unique method.
ETHOS - Is your organization perceived to be socially responsible?
Posted on 11-23-10 at 2:45 p.m.
Our research and experience have profoundly convinced us that being seen as proactive in matters of social and environmental/ecological responsibility has become an extremely important asset for brands and businesses in this country. In contrast, the perceived greater-or-lesser degree of that good corporate citizenship can become a major liability on the market and in public opinion.
Social responsibility is increasingly integrated into the buying criteria of Canadian consumers. Presented with two offers that are technically equivalent in the needs they target, a growing number of Canadians in the marketplace choose the socially responsible brand and avoid the less socially responsible one if possible.
In fact, since 2005, we’ve witnessed a major increase in the number of Canadian consumers who tell us that they make efforts to reward the brands they consider socially responsible and punish the ones they consider to be otherwise. More than half of Canadians now say they “reward” (52%) or “punish” (57%) brands according to their social responsibility, percentages that ranked around 40% in 2005.

CROP’s monthly syndicated omnibus study has been running for many years, and from its inception we have ensured that this telephone survey of 1,000 completed interviews (respondents 18 years old and over) compiled with the highest standards of statistical inference and probabilistic representation (with maximum margins of error of 3% etc.).
In 2010, we altered the data collection method of this omnibus study to include online interviews conducted via panel samples from highly reliable firms with whom we regularly do business. The decision to switch methods was reached after some serious reflection, but more importantly, it was the result of a lengthy series of tests whose aim was to develop a rigorous methodology that guarantees high quality results.
With the passing of years, it had become increasingly difficult to realize the required quota of completed interviews within the timelines set for this type of telephone survey. Also contributing to the decision to resort to online polling via web panels for our monthly omnibus studies were the added costs generated by the necessity to fulfill quotas.
The online solution not only allows more flexibility, but also makes it possible to display certain visuals on screen, while it maximizes participant responses (when interviews are self-administered online, we tend to minimize socially desirable answers often found in interviewer-administered telephone interviews).
However, the use of web panels warrants greater caution and verification. CROP has developed a unique method of calibration of web panels (Please see the "White Paper" section of our blog for details) using the results from 4 annual phone surveys as well as a sociocultural/values weighting scheme.

A broad overview of the past 10 years in Canada reveals a jagged panorama of noteworthy events that have left a deep impression in the minds and imaginations of Canadians, weaving themselves into the fabric of our lives. The September 11th attacks, two recessions, climate change and job outsourcing via globalization lead a long and varied list of dramatic upheavals. Disillusion, division and cynicism are flooding the political scene at an unprecedented pace. Bad news seems to dominate our everyday reality, certainly in the public and media scenes.
The world seems increasingly chaotic. One might assume that such a turbulent era would spawn discouragement and despondency. Surprisingly, we’ve observed the exact opposite: our analyses all point to a resilient, opportunity-seeking, population – at least a burgeoning majority of it – filled with vitality, eager to adapt to the ever-changing world and driven to develop their potential to the fullest.
Our work reveals that over the years, the Canadian population has developed a unique capacity for resilience, transforming the potential threats encountered in their daily lives into opportunities for advancement.
In many ways, the current context leads us to believe that we are witnessing a revolution in the way Canadians view their lives, a movement we have labelled the Rise of a New Renaissance Man. This trend or phenomenon may not be universal, but there is no denying that it is currently driving and dividing people into separate camps. Reduced to its simplest expression, the catchphrase for these modern times has become: to adapt or not to adapt.
In analyzing the characteristics defining this leading trend in Canadian society today, as well as its various implications for marketing, branding, public policies, human resources, management and all other areas, we observe that the context that spawned the original Renaissance Man circa 1510 is being uncannily mirrored in Canadian society 500 years later – in 2010.

Most Christians have solid opinions on issues like the display of the Ten Commandments and prayer in schools, but many are not finding clarity in their opinion about the theory of intelligent design (ID).
According to Paley, if a watch is found in a field, then the complexity of the watch offers evidence that it is the product of intelligence, and thus the natural world provides evidence of a worldmaker. This preceded the theory of evolution, introduced in Charles Darwin’s “The Origin of Species” in 1859.
In 1984, Charles Thaxton, Walter Bradley and Roger Olson presented a critique of the theory of evolution in the publication “The Mystery of Life’s Origin.” Michael Denton followed with his analysis, “Evolution: A Theory in Crisis,” two years later. These publications laid a foundation and gave way to the present-day ID movement and future books on the subject, including William Dembski’s “The Design Inference” in 1998.
Until recently, ID was mainly a topic among the scientific community, which largely does not support the ID theory.
However, the Kitzmiller vs. Dover (Pa.) Area School District trial, in which U.S. District Judge John E. Jones ruled that inserting ID into the school science curriculum violates the constitutional separation of church and state, brought the topic into mainstream conversations.
A spokesman for an ID think tank contends media attention given to such trials merges ID and creation science — a form of creationism — into one theory, when in actuality ID is a separate theory based not on religion but biology.
Rob Crowther, director of media and public relations for the Discovery Institute Center for Science & Culture, said he believes an agenda to distort ID is a purposeful act. “It is designed by the Darwinians. They like to confuse the lines between (ID and creation science),” he said. That is why Crowther believes there must be education on the three distinct definitions related to life: creation science, evolution and ID.
He said evolution has three definitions. One holds that change occurs over time. A second contends common ancestry and all forms of life evolved from a single original life form. And a third asserts that natural science, acting on random mutation, is the primary mechanism by which life forms have evolved.
According to him, while creation science is in the first instance a doctrine about the source of being of the world, like questioning where everything comes from, ID does not ask where nature or the world ultimately comes from.
Dembski said because the ID community includes evangelical Christians, who believe that ultimately the designer is the Christian God, it is easy to see how the lines between creationism and ID are blurred. Nevertheless he said Jews, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists understand the intelligence behind the design in nature in terms compatible with their religious faith.
Although ID has no stake in trying to harmonize religious texts with scientific data, he said it is much more friendly and compatible with Christian theism.
“Evolutionary theory, by contrast, is hard to square with Christian theism because it views nature unguided by any intelligence as sufficient to bring about biological complexity and diversity,” Dembski said.

dembski said because the id community includes evangelical christians, who believe that ultimately the designer is the christian god, it is easy to see how the lines between creationism and id are blurred. nevertheless he said jews, muslims, hindus and buddhists understand the intelligence behind the design in nature in terms compatible with their religious faith.
although id has no stake in trying to harmonize religious texts with scientific data, he said it is much more friendly and compatible with christian theism.
“evolutionary theory, by contrast, is hard to square with christian theism because it views nature unguided by any intelligence as sufficient to bring about biological complexity and diversity,” dembski said.

Ground Floor Studio Apartment on a peaceful road and only 3 minutes walk away from the Southfields Tube Station and shops. Fully furnished bedroom with ensuite bathroom, full kitchen, washing machine/Dryer, Satellite TV and free WiFi. Very close to Tourist sites.
I live in the main house with my family, and the studio apartment is totally independent from the main house with its own door. I started this business over fourteen years ago as I love to meet people of different nationalities , and enjoy learning about different cultures and common threads that unite us. I enjoy South Asian Classical and Semi Classical music going to Museums and Art Galleries. Gardening is another of my passions and love to visit the Royal Horticultural Society's Garden at Wisley which luckily is only 20 minutes drive away. My favourite city is Venice.
I bought this property about 35 years ago as I always wanted to live on this road. The beautiful houses with big gardens always attracted me. The cherry trees and the winding road was another plus point.
The Kitchen is well equipped with crockery , cutlery and a dinner set.
My husband and I spent 6 nights at Lubna's studio and it was wonderful, Lubna and her daughter were both so kind and helpful telling us about restaurants and how to get around. The studio its self isn't big but we had plenty of room for us and our three suitcases. We also had a car for 2 nights of our stay and we had no problem with the parking there at the home, I let Lubna know in advance and it worked out great! I would highly recommend if you are visiting London and want to stay in a safe area with very sweet people this is your place. The metro is just a few mins away walking and right by the metro there are great places to pickup breakfast and dinner on your way back. We visited Greggs almost daily, it was wonderful and M&S was great for the few groceries we did pickup.
A charming retreat after seeing the sights in London.
My daughter and I spent 12 nights at this charming property. It was very close to the underground, and the neighbourhood felt very welcoming and safe. We had all the comforts of home while we were getting my daughter acclimatized to London for university. The owner (Lubna) is very caring, and wants to make sure that her guests are comfortable. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting London and or Wimbledon.
Good space for my daughter and I.
Super close to transportation, coffee and groceries. Fun stay. I would stay again.
This is strictly a room to leave your things, clean up, and base your travels from. Make sure to pack ear plugs, because the hustle and bustle of the home is not muffled here. Also, the bed is extremely old and uncomfortable.
I have countless reviews from the most recent guests to those dating back to November 2014 who have commented on how comfortable the beds are and how pleasant their stay. They are certainly not old and are hotel grade beds. As you can see clearly from the photographs of the studio, it is attached to a family home. The house is most certainly not noisy as we take a lot of care not to disturb our guests. The comfort and experience of our guests is our utmost priority.
Very comfortable studio in quiet, safe location with tube station only a short walk away.
Thank you for your kind review. I look forward to welcoming you once again as my guests.
Excellent place at a good price.
Small but very well equipped. Excellent location, close to tube station and shops. Very well priced. I would highly recommend it.
Thank you very much for your kind review and for staying at our studio apartment.

The full announcement will be made next Tuesday.
Google has made yet another pretty huge announcement ahead of its console reveal that we're expecting next week. Here's what you need to know.
Honestly the last thing we need is another console.
Great in theory, but probably horrible in practice. The whole concept is based on a stable, good internet connection.
And even then, you need internet to play single player games? I'll stick to just local PC gaming, thanks.
Same here, I hate games that require always-online.

At your scheduled appointment, you will be asked to sign a Medical History, a Consent and Release Agreement, and a Photography Release Agreement. The Medical History and Consent and Release Agreement are kept on file, along with before and after photos and are required for insurance purposes. The Photography Release Agreement is not a mandatory signature, but it does allow me to showcase my work on social media and for marketing and training purposes.
The consent forms also go through a detailed client history and inform you of the risks and hazards involved with undergoing any cosmetic tattoo procedure, as there are many things to consider and any number of medications, skin conditions, or other cosmetic procedures can and will affect the outcome of the cosmetic tattoo.
Retin-A and Accutane are skin medications that create extreme skin sensitivity and it is best to wait at least one full week after last use of Retin-A and one full year after last dose of Accutane before doing any cosmetic tattoo procedure. Failure to wait one full year after using Accutane will result in keloid scarring.
Laser resurfacing, Photo-derm, Intense Light, Chemical Peel, and Glycolic Acid are all treatments that will require avoidance of the tattooed area to limit the fading of pigment.
Botox - it is best to wait 4 months before a brow or lip tattoo procedure.
Fillers - it is best to wait 4 weeks before a lip procedure.

Medtronic is announcing that the company received FDA approval to market the firm’s Attain StarFix left-heart cardiac resynchronization lead. Having received EU approval two years ago, the lead is designed to prevent its displacement post implantation.
As the first-ever active fixation left-heart lead for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), the Attain StarFix lead has demonstrated a zero percent chronic dislodgement rate.
Overall, including the acute dislodgements at one day post-implant, the lead has a low 0.7 percent dislodgement rate. These dislodgement rates are supported by one of the industry’s largest and longest-running left-heart lead clinical studies involving 385 implants followed for up to four years. Traditional passive fixation left-heart leads, where there is no active mechanism to fix the lead in place, show average dislodgement rates of 2-8 percent based on several published clinical studies.
The Attain StarFix lead provides physicians with a new solution for achieving successful placement and stability of the left-heart lead in heart failure patients receiving a CRT device. A patient’s vein size or configuration can make it difficult to secure a left-heart lead in the optimal location. Therefore, stable fixation of the left-heart lead is critical to a successful CRT implantation. Dislodgement of the left heart lead may require additional surgeries, which could increase the risk of infection.
The Medtronic Attain StarFix steroid-eluting unipolar lead has a 5-French diameter and is available in 78, 88 and 103 cm. lengths. The Attain StarFix’s unique design includes three soft, polyurethane lobes near the lead tip that, when expanded, enable stable lead placement in the target location. The soft, pliable lobes, which can be deployed to up to a 24-French diameter – about one quarter inch – can be relaxed multiple times to allow for acute repositioning of the lead as necessary. Once deployed, the electrode is securely fixed in place, reducing the potential for dislodgement.
The Attain StarFix lead, which will be commercially available nationwide in late summer 2008, is designed to complement the Attain Model 4193 and Model 4194 over-the-wire leads. The Attain® catheters along with the Attain Hybrid® Guide Wires are used to deliver leads for precise placement in a wide variety of coronary anatomies. It can be used with any Medtronic CRT-defibrillator (CRT-D), including those within the company’s new Vision 3D™ portfolio.

What defines a prosperous city for small business success? Is it the location, its size, the economy, the people? In Houston’s case it’s all of the above. These elemental “forces,” if you will, continue to work in balance with a robust workforce to create the prosperous powerhouse that Houston is today.
According to a recently published study by the Houston Business Journal, Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, and it now ranks as the fourth fastest growing city for small businesses in our country. What’s more, Houston is still growing and still building momentum. With that steady, continued growth comes more and more opportunities for small business success.
Houston hasn’t had any problems helping small businesses create success in the past. In recognition of #SmallBusinessWeek, here are four reasons why you should reflect today on why Houston can be the perfect home for your small business both now and in the future.
As many larger companies have demonstrated, Houston’s location provides many scalable opportunities to small businesses no matter the product or target market. Houston is an energy industry dynamo (#punintended, #ForeverOrange); however, there are more diverse forces powering this energy temple than meets the eye.
Houston is also a thriving port city. While the Port of Houston is utilized to great effect by energy companies, it also excels as a hub for importing and exporting goods and products for countless other industries. Everything from automobiles to retail merchandise makes its way through the port. This feature contributes to the city’s success in the distribution and the transportation industries.
Despite its status as a port city, Houston is made up of a large urban sprawl with deep, inland roots. A vast network of key highways and interstates facilitates the ground transportation of goods. Additionally, access to two major airports means your product can be sent to almost any destination.
Houston’s prime location is not the only beneficial force driving small business success. Many thriving organizations have found it’s the ideal locale for hosting small business operations, period. Houston is home not to just one – but several business and financial districts.
Despite the large amount of companies that are already headquartered and/or thriving in this city, there is still plenty of room left to spare for new businesses and their employees thanks to the large amount of available real estate. Plus, the culturally-diverse, galaxy-sized population maximizes the potential of your prospective customers and employees.
No matter your market niche and no matter your need – any small business is quite capable of finding the perfect place to call home in Houston. Both the financial atmosphere and the workforce, it would seem, are strong with this one.
Houston’s title as the fourth fastest growing city for small businesses in the country is not just for show. Houston Business Journal’s study indicates that the amount of small businesses within this city has grown by 5.56% over a three-year period. This has resulted in 125,431 new small businesses in the area – and counting.
What’s more, both the thriving, established businesses and an increase in new business prospects have resulted in a population influx. If you are a new business seeking to strategically and synergistically generate success from a growing, melting pot of people, Houston is the market you’re looking for. Its ever-growing, ever-changing population creates a continuous demand for a wide variety of products and services.
The average business owner in Houston is not your average business owner. Houston is not only a diverse landscape geographically, but demographically as well. Houston may be the fourth largest and fourth fastest growing city, but it is also the most diverse city in the country. It’s not a trap – with over 90 languages spoken throughout its current population, this city offers a wealth of opportunity when it comes to the multicultural market.
One of the largest growing presences in Houston small business ownership is the Hispanic population. The Hispanic and Latino market makes up 43.8% of the city’s overall population. Furthermore, Hispanic-owned businesses now account for 36% of the businesses operating within the city. This figure will only continue to grow with time.
Additional proof that Houston is a progressive city is found in the fact that it has the most women-owned businesses in Texas. Other minority segments also find success here. Always in motion the future is, but if you want a glimpse into the future of how small and large businesses will operate in this country then look no further than Houston, Texas.
Houston goes by many names and you’ve probably heard them all before: Bayou City, Space City, Mission Control, etc. But there’s more to this mosaic of people and places than catchy nicknames. It is a place where you can experience new things, meet new people, and hear a new language almost every day of the year.
It is a city where you can see the future of not just business, but also the state and country that holds it, develop right before your eyes. It is a place any person, any business, or any industry can proudly call their home and find an opportunity for success. Don’t believe us? We find your lack of faith disturbing.
We at VRTC hope this information motivates you to give Houston more than a thought or two when considering where to establish your small business. Is there anything you would like to add to the conversation? If so, please leave a comment and share your experience. If you enjoyed the article, share it!

houston’s prime location is not the only beneficial force driving small business success. many thriving organizations have found it’s the ideal locale for hosting small business operations, period. houston is home not to just one – but several business and financial districts.
despite the large amount of companies that are already headquartered and/or thriving in this city, there is still plenty of room left to spare for new businesses and their employees thanks to the large amount of available real estate. plus, the culturally-diverse, galaxy-sized population maximizes the potential of your prospective customers and employees.
no matter your market niche and no matter your need – any small business is quite capable of finding the perfect place to call home in houston. both the financial atmosphere and the workforce, it would seem, are strong with this one.
houston’s title as the fourth fastest growing city for small businesses in the country is not just for show. houston business journal’s study indicates that the amount of small businesses within this city has grown by 5.56% over a three-year period. this has resulted in 125,431 new small businesses in the area – and counting.
what’s more, both the thriving, established businesses and an increase in new business prospects have resulted in a population influx. if you are a new business seeking to strategically and synergistically generate success from a growing, melting pot of people, houston is the market you’re looking for. its ever-growing, ever-changing population creates a continuous demand for a wide variety of products and services.
the average business owner in houston is not your average business owner. houston is not only a diverse landscape geographically, but demographically as well. houston may be the fourth largest and fourth fastest growing city, but it is also the most diverse city in the country. it’s not a trap – with over 90 languages spoken throughout its current population, this city offers a wealth of opportunity when it comes to the multicultural market.
one of the largest growing presences in houston small business ownership is the hispanic population. the hispanic and latino market makes up 43.8% of the city’s overall population. furthermore, hispanic-owned businesses now account for 36% of the businesses operating within the city. this figure will only continue to grow with time.
additional proof that houston is a progressive city is found in the fact that it has the most women-owned businesses in texas. other minority segments also find success here. always in motion the future is, but if you want a glimpse into the future of how small and large businesses will operate in this country then look no further than houston, texas.
houston goes by many names and you’ve probably heard them all before: bayou city, space city, mission control, etc. but there’s more to this mosaic of people and places than catchy nicknames. it is a place where you can experience new things, meet new people, and hear a new language almost every day of the year.
it is a city where you can see the future of not just business, but also the state and country that holds it, develop right before your eyes. it is a place any person, any business, or any industry can proudly call their home and find an opportunity for success. don’t believe us? we find your lack of faith disturbing.
we at vrtc hope this information motivates you to give houston more than a thought or two when considering where to establish your small business. is there anything you would like to add to the conversation? if so, please leave a comment and share your experience. if you enjoyed the article, share it!

Once your product emerges from the production line, you need confidence that it meets all specifications and exceeds test standards. This priority was evident for a power steering component manufacturer who required an end-of-line test stand for their electric power steering (EPS) module. The client needed a compact, flexible and expandable test system to accommodate current and future models of the product. ATA engineers also incorporated a simplified loading & unloading procedure for quick part changes which improved test efficiency.
additional detailed reports that included actual readings, min & max limits, standard deviations, etc.
ECT solutions let you control the test parameters and specifications, enabling custom test conditions and test types.
This week, we are providing a detailed presentation and datasheet for your review. Click the button below, tell us a little bit about yourself and receive our case study materials free of charge.

text: The time has come for many crucial suppliers to the most valuable technology companies on the planet to make emergency plans to move some production out of China as US President Donald Trump escalates a trade war that risks hitting electronics manufacturers hard. On Friday, Trump said tariffs covering an additional $267 billion of Chinese imports would be “ready to go on short notice”. That’s in addition to an already planned $200 billion round. On Saturday, Trump tweeted an “easy solution” to the tariff problem: “Make your products in the United States instead of China.” Most of Apple’s products are made in China, as are smart speakers by Amazon and Google, Fitbit products and notebooks by HP and Dell. Market watchers say any shift of the supply chain could cause major disruptions.

An easy, quick, summertime appetizer or side – it’s made with simple ingredients and ready in less than 15 minutes!
I was wondering if it would be wrong to call this the easiest, quickest, most simple-yet packs-a-punch-with-flavor, tuna orzo pasta salad, that ever existed.
I realized that might be a little long to be a title though.
Since we hit 50 degrees in Minneapolis last week, I have been itching for warmer weather. In true Minnesotan fashion, it’s back in the thirties with a cold, cold wind. But I’m still hanging on hope – because spring IS right around the corner.
And after spring, is summer. I. Cannot. Wait. And neither can this Tuna Orzo Salad.
It basically begs to be served along side a crisp green salad under the summer sun with a glass of cold iced tea. Or at a picnic at the park. Or with a sandwich. Or next to a dinner of grilled veggies.
Do you see how the possibilities are endless for this SUPER SIMPLE Tuna Orzo Pasta Salad?! End. Less.
Are you ready for this list? It’s SO DANG EASY. You guys, with only SEVEN. Yes, SEVEN ingredients, you’re going to thank me. Of course you could add a couple extra additions, like feta or tomatoes, but when I’m ready to get outside and eat al fresco, I want the food to come together fast.
Tuna – and not just any tuna. Seriously, please be a conscientious consumer. I absolutely love Wild Planet tuna (not sponsored – just a true, huge fan). It’s sustainably caught seafood – and their commitment to sustainability has me a forever fan. Regardless of which brand you use, it’s so important to educate yourself about where/how your food is sourced!
Orzo – there’s something about orzo that I find so fun to eat in a salad!
That’s it! Seriously so simple. Of course you’ll add your own levels of salt and pepper – but we’re counting that as a definite pantry item.
I said it was simple, right? Right. The hardest part is this: boiling the water for the orzo.
Once that’s cooked, you’ll toss all the ingredients together and have a lovely lunch, appetizer, or side!
Let’s get to it, shall we? Once you make it, remember to snap a photo and share it on social media or via email – I LOVE to see recipes come to life in your kitchens!
An easy, quick, summertime appetizer or side. It’s made with simple ingredients and ready in less than 15 minutes!
Cook the orzo according to package directions, in well-salted water. Drain. Rinse with cold water if you want the pasta to be cold upon serving.
Toss orzo with the remaining ingredients, taste testing for desired salt and pepper levels. Adjust any other ingredients as needed according to your tastes – it’s a very flexible recipe!
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Keep chilled.
There’s truly nothing like a Minnesota summer potluck!
In this season of Lent, our family is always looking for a good meatless recipe. I have printed this great recipe and I can’t wait to try it!

Keep an eye out for Tom Wilson's article in the April edition of Family Law. Entitled 'The problem of litigants in person and vulnerable witnesses: lessons from the criminal courts?', the article examines the growing number of litigants in person in the Family Courts and the problems this poses when it comes to cases involving vulnerable witnesses.
Tom compares the reasoning of the Court of Appeal in Re K and H (Children)  EWCA Civ 543 with a number of criminal cases and concludes that reform is desperately needed, but unlikely to occur.
