Great Recipe Ideas for Tasty Meals in a Hurry
Years ago, as a child, you may recall the pleasure of enjoying mum’s cooking. If mum was a good cook, mealtimes were often the highlight of coming home from school or Sunday afternoons, when the meals on the table had been lovingly prepared just for you. For many people, those days are gone because there is no time or desire to spend an entire day preparing a meal that will be gone in a matter of a few minutes. People are discovering that it is possible to have those great tasting meals again without all of the extra preparation time and time spent cooking it.
Recipe ideas for meals in a hurry are not just about putting together a delicious meal with no nutritional content, today there are meal creators who understand the importance of balancing food preparation time with other obligations such as work and family. That’s why there are recipe ideas readily coming to the market for meals in a hurry that taste good and are good for you. Families of all sizes with children or without can benefit from these recipe ideas for great tasting meals that can be prepared quickly.
Quality ingredients such as fresh vegetables and lean meats are fundamental musts for making food that tastes good and is good for you. Many times, however, the challenge comes in creating a recipe that will appeal to an entire family and be good for them at the same time. Recipe ideas such as Mexican fajitas, chicken Genovese Pasta and Moroccan pasta are simply to prepare with wholesome ingredients available at the ready for a meal that can be prepared at a moment’s notice. What is more, you can serve these meals for virtually any occasion and at any time to family and friends.
When dinner parties and other occasions arise at a moment’s notice, having recipe ideas for meals that can be prepared quickly is the way to go. Many of these recipe ideas offer healthy choices as well as economical options for meals that offer opportunities to save time as well as money. Tasty fish dishes like fish fingers and tomato salad, seafood paella and tuna bean salad are great for those who want lighter choices. There are also vegetarian choices like chickpea and spinach salad, spinach lasagne, creamy summer pasta and fresh tomato and herb whole-wheat spaghetti.

For this is the ftrict Notion of Prefervation, as diftinguifh’d from a Governing Providence, That God upholds all Things in Being from falling back into their firft Nothing, and pre- ferves their natural Virtues, Powers and Faculties, and enables them to act, and to attain the Ends of their feveral Natures ; which diftinguifhes this Preferving Providence, from thofe many Acts of Prefervation which belong to Government; fuch as preferving the Lives of Men from unfeen Accidents, and vifible Dangers ; nay, of Beafts and of Birds too, as our Saviour affures us, That not a Mat. x. 29.

A Man’s Guide To Food As Foreplay, How To Invite Romance Into Your Life $10.81 A life truly worth living consists of two vital elements: food and sex. Jerry Solomon’s A Man’s Guide to Food as Foreplay delves into those two necessities — how to cook and how to love (and lust) — and it’s based on his adventures as a young man living in New York City. This amusing and informative how-to should be a pre-requisite for any guy who wants to bring a little romance into his life. Made up of a collection of stories, each having a recipe that’s wound around what Solomon refers to as his “lust of the moment” through the “love of his life,” it’s got a goldmine of information. Included are “Food Notes & Must Haves” on spices, utensils and the like; cooking tips from his years of experience owning his own food business and working for a major NYC corporation; and a “Guest Interaction Key,” that gives advice on making the most out of cooking for or with a desired companion. Men — this could be the book you’ve been searching for — it not only gives you insight into becoming a great cook (which, face it, women love) but also how to combine your love of good food with your love of good (and naughty) women. After all, both are best with a healthy appetite! |

A Manual Of Dietetics $29.11 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III. METHODS OF PKEPAKING FOOD. In the preparation of food of yore, the palate has no doubt been. the great guide. Still, a blind instinct seems also to have been at work. The cook has been led to prepare vegetables with meat; to unite grain and milk; to boil the highly nitrogenised beans with fat bacon; or peas and pork. Experience at work through countless ages has no doubt instructed Man, albeit darkly, what combinations of foods are requisite for health under certain conditions. Sauer-kraut was a wise provision of vegetable food during the long winter, when salted foods and cereals formed the chief dietary of the people. A Lenten fast of vegetables was a useful hygienic measure for clearing away the maladies incidental to such a dietary; as useful as vegetables to scurvy-stricken crews before the days of lime-juice. No wonder people long ago spoke of the anti-scorbutic properties of certain vegetables. Before proceeding with the preparation of foods, it may be well to give a Letheby Table of the comparative value of various edible articles as tissue-food and fuel-food, without any pledge as to the absolute accuracy of it. It is certainly useful, as giving a good broad idea of the value of various comestibles: CARBON. NITROGEN. Fresh Butter, 64.56 — Dry Bacon 59.87 .95 Dripping, 54.56 — Green Bacon, 54.26 .76 Lard, 48.19 — Suet, 47.10 — Salt Butter 45.85 — Fat Pork 41.13 1.06 Cocoa 39.34 1.40 Cheddar Cheese 33.44 3.06 Indian Meal, 30.16 1.20 Sugar 29.55 — Oatmeal, 28.31 1.36 Rice 27.32 .68 Seconds Flour 27.00 1.16 Split Peas 26.99 2.48 CARBON.

A Solitary Confinement $1.99 Robin Sheppard had always seemed like a lucky guy! Proud father of two sons in their late teens, Sam the eldest (the musical one) and Charlie (the artistic one); still good friends with his first wife Georgina known always as George and partnered by the effervescent and indomitable Suzanne known by all as Suzi; when his hitherto contented life took a different turn.He had bounded through 50 years of an unfettered existence working in places that didn’t feel like any factory or office you might know. A universe largely comprising five star hotels set in manicured gardens, with fine wines, fabulous foie gras, and outrageous flower arrangements, speckled with well heeled customers in which the anticipation of their needs was paramount.After growing up in Bath he had become an hotelier who delighted in operating some of the very best of Britain’s hotels, winning hotel of the year prizes along the way, before founding with some like minded chums, his own specialist hotel operating group.Ending up in London he presided over an empire of a dozen or so glamorous hotels which featured architecture of the grade one variety, decadent décor, period fixtures in capability parkland surroundings, and food of the highest standard.His was an untroubled workplace. Taking time out along the way to invent the truly iconic, deep blue, skittle shaped, Ty-Nant mineral water business and then a niche adult soft drinks business he became an entrepreneur without ever knowing it and a role model for many a novice hotel student along the way.Then things changed.A Solitary Confinement is the inspirational story of Robin’s encounter with Guillain-Barre syndrome.”It’s a great read, sad and funny. The piquancy of the humour sits right up there with Tony Hancock in the Blood Donor when he asked for a badge to be inscribed, ‘nothing pretentious, just they gave that others might live’……” Andrew Mourant, ‘The Independent’”Magnificent, he ought to change jobs, retire |

A Year of Wine: Perfect Pairings, Great Buys, and What to Sip for Each Season $1.99 A lively and informative guide to a year of wine enjoyment and appreciation from acclaimed wine expert and blogger Tyler Colman, aka “Dr. Vino”In A Year of Wine, award-winning educator Tyler “Dr. Vino” Colman, whose wine blog was hailed by Food & Wine magazine as “one of the seven best,” views winter, spring, summer, and fall through the glass of his favorite impact-resistant stemware, pairing each month with its perfect ports, Pinots, and bubblies — and offering good value recommendations for them all. Throughout, Colman reminds readers to try to pair their pours with context, which is wildly underrated when it comes to enjoying your favorite bottle. And while people tend naturally to drink lighter, more refreshing wines during the warm months and heavier, more serious wines during the winter months, Colman takes the seasonal approach a step further by offering innovative recommendations and enlightening facts that will allow readers to impress their friends for twelve months straight.Is there a perfect wine to serve with chips and salsa on Super Bowl Sunday? Which bottles will help you drown away your tax- day blues without blowing your new budget? Colman answers these questions and much more as he pairs wines with each season, occasion, and moment. Recommending thoughtful and affordable wines for special celebrations and everyday enjoyment, offering tips on beginning a wine collection or spring cleaning the one you have, exploring how to drink with the smallest possible carbon footprint, and explaining how to maximize your wine experience when you dine out, Colman makes wine easy to understand and, most important, to savor.Colman also shares thesecret gems of his favorite wine tourism destinations — where to find the best wine shops in Paris, which Portuguese vintners still crush grapes with their bare feet, and how you can take a ten-tasting-room tour with one stop in a tiny Oregon town — and turns to some of the |

Aids To The Divine Life $16.1 The little work which is here presented to the reader in a new dress, was originally published in the year 1680, under the following Title: “Divine Breathings: Or, a Manual of Practical Contemplations; Tending to Promote Gospel Principles, and a Holy Life in Christ”.As regards the book itself, if, as a clever writer has somewhere said, “great books, like large skulls, often have the least brains,” it possesses the double recommendation of being small, and having brains beyond its size.Our age is too busy for the large folios of our fathers. Like the railway train, rushing on with accelerated speed as it approaches the terminus, the world seems hurrying on as if it felt that it had but a short time in which to dispatch its remaining business. The ceaseless whirl of events, the bewildering illusions which each succeeding day presents to our notice, and the anxious necessities of business, sacred and secular—leave most of us scant time for reading or study. Here then is a book, in size small enough for the pocket; in arrangement divided into portions, short enough to be read at any leisure moment; and yet weighty enough in matter to supply much food for profitable meditation. Good old Thomas Fuller wrote ‘Good Thoughts in Bad Times’; the reader may find in the following pages, “Brief Thoughts for Busy Times”.So far as the character of the work—to those who lack a spiritual palate—it will doubtless prove altogether uninteresting; but to such as, “by reason of use, have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil,” it will, I think, be rejoiced over as the finding of great spoil. |

An Examination Of Society From The Standpoint Of Evolution $20.09 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER II. THE PRIMITIVE STRUGGLE EXR EXISTENCE. § 5. — If civilization is the outcome of an evolutionary process which began on the levels of animality, it follows that early prehistoric men must once have lived the life of animals. In this chapter we shall try to obtain a clear idea of what that life was. As previously observed, we are able to trace the course of man’s life backward through the Age of Metals and the Smooth Stone Period into the time when he used only rough implements of stone and wood. Below this latter point all physical evidence is lacking. Now, it makes no vital difference to the argument of this book whether man began his career on or below the level of the early stone age. But in the interests of clear thinking, it is well for us to push the view backward to a time slightly anterior to that period, and begin with man before he had learned to fashion tools. If it be objected that under such conditions man would not have been distinguished from the higher apes, and would not have been man at all, the answer is that this point is immaterial in the present connection. By carrying the view backward to the extreme limit, and trying to represent to ourselves how a creature like man would have lived in the pre-stone age — by doing this, we are able to set the total results of human progress in bolder relief against the background of nature, and hence to obtain clearer inital conceptions of our subject. The principle to be developed is the same whether we begin with man in the primitive stone age, or in the earlier time that preceded the first era of material progress. § 6. — Great social bodies were impossible in early prehistoric times for at least two good reasons: First — the precarious food supply which is always |

At Home and Abroad; A Sketch-Book of Life, Scenery, and Men $29.86 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:IV. A YOUNG AUTHOR’S LIFE IN LONDON. I Reached London for the second time about the middle of March, 1846, after a dismal walk through Normandy, and a stormy passage across the Channel. I stood upon London Bridge, in the raw mist and the falling twilight, with a franc and A half in my pocket, and deliberated what I should do. Weak from sea-sickness, hungry, chilled, and without a single acquaintance in the great city, my situation was about as hopeless as it is possible to conceive. Successful authors in their libraries, seated in cushioned chairs and dipping their pens into silver inkstands, may write about money with a beautiful scorn, and chant the praise of Poverty—the “good goddess of Poverty,” as George Sand, making 50,000 francs a year, enthusiastically terms her— but there is no condition in which the Real is so utterly at variance with the Ideal, as to be actually out of money, and hungry, with nothing to pawn and no friend to borrow from. Have you ever known it, my friend? If not, I could wish that you might have the experience for twenty-four Lours, only once in your life. I remembered, at last, that during my first visit to Lon- lon, eighteen months previous, I had lodged a few nights t a chop-house opposite the Aldgate Church-yard. The price of a bed was ‘one shilling, which was within the compass of my franc and a half—and rest was even more to me than food. As I passed through the crowd towards Cheap- side and thence eastward to Aldgate, the lamps were lighted and the twilight settled into a drear, rainy night. In the lighted shops I saw joints of the dark crimson beef of Old England, hams, fish, heads of lettuce—everything fresh, succulent, and suggestive of bountiful boards. Men—the very porters and street-sweepers, even—were |

Ayurvedic Food Culture and Recipes $46.99 Ayurvedic Food Culture and RecipesDuring the recent years, Ayurvedic wisdom has been propagated by religious or sectarian gurus rather than by Vaidyas (traditional Ayurvedic physician), scholars and Indian women, who have kept the Ayurvedic tradition alive for thousands of years. Gurus tend to mould the Ayurvedic wisdom from scientific to sectarian. This book, written by a woman Ayurvedic scholar, who has also had Western education in medical sciences, is a valuable piece of work, as it puts forward the scientific aspect of Ayurveda in context of its food culture and preparations. It is a prime example of the integration of scientific values in Indian cultural tradition. The book highlights the rational basis of what we should eat, when, how and why. The book contains authentic Ayurvedic food culture and mode of preparation of various international recipes by applying Ayurvedic principles. Scriptural wisdom of Ayurveda does not tell you to give up your glass of wine or leave out your favourite dishes. The way to good health is not through insipid food, but to enjoy the colours and flavours of life and have sensuous fulfilment with various rasas (tastes) of the cosmos. The secret to good health lies in understanding the Ayurvedic food culture and following its Eight Golden Principles. The book teaches the art of preparing balanced and rejuvenating food by using different herbs and spice mixtures and by attaining the knowledge about their hot and cold nature. With appropriate knowledge of Ayurvedic food culture, one can enhance energy, immunity and vitality and above all can cure one’s minor ailments. The Great Sanskrit scholar and an India’s leading Pandit on Indian cultural tradition, Professor Dharmanand Sharma has described this book as follow: “Dr. Vinod Verma’s book, which is based upon the ancient scientific principles of Ayurveda and is presenting modern methods of preparation is like a ray of hope in this age of |

BEST AND WORST TRAVELS $10 Ramon Carver says, “I’m writing for folks who enjoy reading about my good fortune and misfortunes (i.e.: ‘Ethel, this is Billy Joe, and I want you to know the food and hotels were awful, and we didn’t like the people or the places! Ole Martina got sick as a dog and threw up one night in the cafeteria, and it rained, Lord, it rained, it was a terrible, terrible trip – but we sure did make good time!’”Great expectations when traveling are usually the source of my greatest disappointments. I’m like the guy in a New Yorker cartoon studying a brochure telling his travel agent: ‘I am so looking forward to this. I can’t wait to be disappointed.’”Actually, I go nuts when someone or something disappoints, and I rejoice when it exceeds expectations. But always, if I can wring a laugh out of a misadventure, I wring it. And I confront my expectations head on.”How does one set up and adjust reasonable travel expectations? The old-fashioned ways: Acquire Information, Get a pot full of money, and Cross your fingers!”Everybody’s attracted to the idea of trips to far away places with strange sounding names as well as places close at hand. That’s how we all begin our travels for pleasure – with an assumption that a place might be a great destination. But how do we determine if a trip will be right for us? Candid travel agents are the best sources. Who else ya gonna trust? Billy Joe, noted above?”The easiest way to get informed is to listen to interesting traveler’s stories or read somebody’s personal travel journals. Armchair travel. Doesn’t really matter how old the journals are because it’s the traveler’s experiences you’re after, not particulars. All particulars are out-of-date from the moment they’re penned.Commercial travel publications cultivate fantasy, not candor.

Between Bites: Memoirs of a Hungry Hedonist $0.99 Great food and stimulating prose come together in this provocative insider’s memoir of a life driven by a passion for fine cuisine and the good life. With a Southerner’s knack for storytelling, acclaimed writer and former Town & Country food and wine editor James Villas delivers a delectable tale of his personal and professional odyssey in Between Bites: Memoirs of a Hungry Hedonist. At the same time, he provides an exclusive peek at the intrigue behind the vibrant gastronomic evolution of food in America over the past forty years. Working undercover as a captain at the five-star Le Perroquet in Chicago; dining in Paris with the cookbook author Paula Wolfert in an off-beat bistro inexplicably swarming with dozens of dachshunds; succumbing to last night’s bad oysters in the middle of an interview with the celebrated writer M.F.K. Fisher, only to be resuscitated by her homemade milk toast and soda: these and other anecdotes color the amazing story of Villas’s career in the fickle culinary world. By turns witty and poignant, sometimes controversial and irreverent, always candid and opinionated, this compelling narrative pinpoints the exploits of a personal journey filled with a lively cast of fellow food lovers and the memorable meals and adventures shared with them. James Beard, Julia Child, Craig Claiborne, Paul Bocuse, Jeremiah Tower, Ella Brennan—they are all here, along with many others who have contributed to the rich texture and flavor of Villas’s colorful life. In between the “bites” of his story, Villas shares a selection of favorite recipes as well as a captivating collection of personal photos, journal notes, and othermemorabilia. With outspoken revelations about the best and worst of all things gastronomic, Villas celebrates his own rebellious values while commenting freely on the foibles of contemporary chefs, restaurateurs, and the eating public. One of those rare writers who entertains and inspires even at |

Canned Foods; How to Buy, How to Sell; Statistical and Practical Information about the Canning Industry $28.44 Canned Foods; How To Buy, How To Sell; Statistical And Practical Information About The Canning Industry, By JOHN A. LEE. PREFACE Several years ago I began to write and manifold a series of lectures for the information of about one hundred traveling and city salesmen employed by a large wholesale grocery house. For this house I was then a department manager and buyer, Some copies of these lectures were sent to personal friends. Soon requests for the series began to be received from them and their friends. I then printed on a multigraph several hundred sets of the series and distributed them to those wholesale grocers who sub- scribed for them. Apparently this did not satisfy the demand, as, since then, I have had numerous requests for the series and suggestions that they be published in book form at a more popular price, These suggestions I concluded to adopt, hence this book. The book contains much more matter-and more valuable matter-than the series of lectures, for I have broadened my in- vestigations and added to my experience since the lectures were first written. That in the lectures which seemed good I have revised in the light of my wider experience. I have also added to the book statistical and practical in- formation-such information as I at times have greatly needed, and which I had much difficulty in securing and keeping con- venient for reference in a compact form. I have not attempted to write a scientific book, as it is not in- tended to teach manufacturers how to prepare canned foods. It is intended, however, to inform canners how their prod- ucts are marketed and distributed and what qualities are desirable and salable. Since I wrote the series of lectures I have been in the canned food brokerage business, and was chosen by the canners, grocers and brokers of the United States to manage National Canned Foods Week 1913. By point of view is, therefore, broader. More than this, my appreciation of the great industry which puts the June garden into the |

Catskill Culture: A Mountain Rat’s Memories of the Great Jewish Resort Area $9.99 A century ago, New Yorkers, hungry for mountain air, good food, and a Jewish environment combined with an American way of leisure, began to develop a resort area unique in the world. By the 1950s, this summer Eden of bungalow colonies, summer camps, and over 900 hotels had attracted over a million people a year. This was the Jewish Catskills of Sullivan and Ulster Counties.Born to a small hotel-owning family who worked for decades in hotels after losing their own, Phil Brown tells a story of the many elements of this magical environment. His own waiter’s tales, his mother’s culinary exploits as a chef, and his father’s jobs as maitre d’ and coffee shop operator offer a backdrop to the vital life of Catskills summers. Catskill Culture recounts the life of guests, staff, resort owners, entertainers, and local residents through the author’s memories and archival research and the memories of 120 others.The Catskills resorts shaped American Jewish culture, enabling Jews to become more American while at the same time introducing the American public to immigrant Jewish culture. Catskills entertainment provided the nation with a rich supply of comedians, musicians, and singers. Legions of young men and women used the Catskills as a springboard to successful careers and marriages.A decline for the resort area beginning in the 1970s has led to many changes. Today most of the hotels and bungalow colonies are gone or in ruins, while other communities, notably those of the Hasidim, have appeared. The author includes an appendix listing over 900 hotels he has been able to document and invites readers to contact him with additional entries. |

Chuseok $46.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Chuseok, originally known as Hangawi (from archaic Korean for “great middle”), is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. Like many other harvest festivals, it is held around the Autumn Equinox. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food. Historically and according to popular belief, Chuseok originates from Gabae started during the reign of the third king of the kingdom of Silla (57 BC – AD 935), when it was a month-long weaving contest between two teams. Come the day of Gabae, the team that had woven more cloth had won and was treated to a feast by the losing team. Many scholars also believe Chuseok may originate from ancient shamanistic celebrations of the harvest moon. |

The great war for the preservation of the Union had gone on with varying fortunes for several months. The Quaker City was full of strange faces and uniforms. Squads of soldiers were marching here and there. The drum and fife were heard in all parts. The Cooper Shop Refreshment Saloons were besieged daily by car-loads of soldiers, who stopped only long enough to satisfy urgent hunger with the good food provided, and then hurried onward to the front. The jokes, handkerchief flirtations, laughter, cheers and martial music of the merry, rollicking soldiers, en route from the North, were in strange contrast to the low sobs, the sad, earnest Good-byes and the wailing anguish of women, with children clinging to them, taking a last leave of their husbands who were under marching orders. Strong men wrung each other’s hands, and parted in silence, unable to speak from emotion ; others cried noisily to keep from unseemly laughter, or laughed hysterically to restrain unmanly tears. The bulletin boards at the newspaper offices were surrounded by crowds eagerly reading the latest news; newsboys were snouting late editions with reports of the last battle, and quietly dressed ladies, with parcels and baskets, were flitting about the hospitals and ministering to the wants of the wounded. Everywhere one was met by strange scenes for the staid city of Penn. Everybody talked war, read of battles, dreamed of desperate adventures of arms, and walked the streets with shoulders thrown back and feetkeeping time with the taps of the drum.

Culinary Jottings for Madras $19.26 ‘Wyvern’ was a colonel in the Indian Army and long resident of Madras who whiled away his spare time writing about cookery in the Madras Athenaeum and Daily News. The upshot of his interesting hobby was this book, which set out to instruct the memsahibs of the day in the best ways to cope with Indian kitchen staff and cooking arrangements and in how to produce decent English and French food with local ingredients and imported supplies. It is a fascinating hybrid, for it tells the modern reader a great deal about Anglo-Indian cookery while providing a matchless description of Victorian haute cuisine. There is possibly no better introduction to good cookery than this book. So talented a teacher was ‘Wyvern’ that when he came home to Britain he set up a successful cookery school in London. His subsequent books, most notably Commonsense Cookery, were also models of their type, though in many respects never improved on his first attempt, published here. Leslie Forbes has contributed a bravura introduction. The chapters cover every aspect of the kitchen, from the cook and his management, the store-room, and the batterie de cuisine, to all dishes suitable for dainty dining. Chapters on ‘Our Curries,’ ‘Camp Cookery,’ and ‘Our Kitchens in India’ are also included. Extensive model menus for parties of six or eight people or for ‘Little Home Dinners’ round out the volume. Elizabeth David once said of this book: “I should recommend anyone with a taste for Victorian gastronomic literature to snap [Wyvern's recipes] up.His recipes are so meticulous and clear that the absolute beginner could follow them, yet at the same time he has much to teach the experienced cook.” |

Culture of the Beet, and Manufacture of Beet Sugar $26.66 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:will do well to sow extensively on both low and upland. If the season prove either wet or dry, one of them will yield well; if it be neither, both may yield well. Calcareous soils are not unfriendly to the beet. A considerable proportion of the beet growing region of France is of this nature ; and very fine crops of beets have been gathered from it, even where there was only three or four inches of vegetable earth, resting on a bed of chalk. This species of soil uses up manure quicker than others. A gravelly soil is not very good for the beet. The large tap-root, in penetrating the earth to get its food, encounters stones and pebbles, which retard its progress and split it into forks; then, in order that nourishment may be conveyed laterally, radicles, which are of little value, are multiplied. Still it must be admitted that the beet may flourish on gravelly soil; but it would be well to appropriate it to forage rather than to manufacturing. The stones, as far as practicable, should be removed. Saline soils are to be eschewed, but they are considered favorable for beets designed for feeding and fattening cattle. Soils too sandy may generally be amended with considerable facility. For the most part they rest upon a clayey bottom, five or six feet below the surface. This may be taken up, pulverized and mixed with great advantage. Clayey marls produce surprising effects on this soil, and favor in an eminent degree the growth and saccharification of the beet. Sandy, like calcareous soils, consumemanure too quick. It follows that stiff, cold, clayey land may be benefited by sand, but it ought to be mixed with lime and stable manure. Calcareous marls are also proper and perhaps preferable. Calcareous soils of the heavier sort, may be benefited by the application of sa… |

Excerpt: Claire Loewenfeld, born Lewisohn in Germany (27 September 1899 20 August 1974) was a nutritionist and herbalist who worked in England during and after the Second World War promoting the importance of good nutrition, most notably rosehips from Britain’s hedgerows as a source of vitamin C during the war. She studied at Maximilian Bircher-Benner’s clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, and worked as a dietician at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in London, where she developed a fruit and vegetable diet for the treatment of coeliac disease. Loewenfeld was the founder of Chiltern Herb Farms in England, one of the earliest producers of high-quality dried herbs, and was one of the first members of the Soil Association. She wrote a number of books about nutrition, including Britain’s Wild Larder: Fungi (1956), Herb Gardening (1967) and Everything you should know about your food (1978). Claire married Günther Emmanuel Loewenfeld (November 1895January 1984) in 1923. They lived at the time in Berlin, Germany. Both were from Jewish families, however, Günther was brought up in the Protestant faith. Between 1923 and 1925 they spent their weekends with friends Fritz and Lily Pincus in a rented house, in Glienicke, on the outskirts of Potsdam. In 1925 the Loewenfelds and Pincuses moved out of Berlin to a rented property which they shared on the Küssel, a peninsula jutting out into Lake Templiner in a rural district of Potsdam. Both husbands commuted to Berlin to work. By 1931 Claire and Günther had two children, Peter and Verena, likewise the Pincuses had two children. Both couples also had their relatives living with them from time to time and as more living space was needed they decided to jointly buy the property and enlarge it. Das Haus auf dem … More: |

East Side Stories $9.99 There was a time gone by yet not known to many of us, which is dredged up and recovered in East Side Stories; this was the time of the Great Depression. In this fictional account, twenty stories in all , we delve into the lives of immigrants and their families who lived in the tenements of the Lower East Side of New York City. There is the aged actor who sings and speaks in many voices; there is Orchard Street with its pushcarts; there is the story of a young woman faced with the dilemma of whether or not to agree to a marriage with a much older man, one who has a good steady job. We meet a woman, deserted by her husband, who lives with a gambler who promises to marry her. There is a story of two boys, one Jewish, the other Italian, whose algebra teacher’s moods fluctuate up and down. And there is a woman ostracized by her neighbors. There is the story of the girl who hates herself and what she is. We meet an entrepreneur who plays every angle to keep his business afloat . Then there is the cross-eyed boy who feels cursed; and the gangsters from Murder Inc. who shoot dice on the street. There is the boy who pines for a girl who lives nearby. There are stories of events at a junior high school; another of a college student and his black friend, Earl, and their adventure in a Spanish class. There is more. And all in all they are a mosaic of those times and that place.Author Biography: Sidney Weissman was born in the Harlem area of New York City. During the Depression he grew up in the Lower East Side of New York living with his parents in flats on various streets near Delancey Street, the main thoroughfare. He has drawn the basis for these stories from what he has seen and heard in the tenements and on those streets. He attended Seward Park High School and later the College of the City of New York, CCNY. Later he became involved in the food brokerage business in the metropolitan New York area. He is married, has two children and four grandchildren. He has |

Educating Peter: How I Taught a Famous Movie Critic the Difference Between Cabernet and Merlot or How Anybody Can Become an (Almost) Instant Wine Expert $0.99 Lettie Teague knows wine. She has been the wine editor at Food & Wine magazine for almost a decade. The only question she is asked more than “Can you recommend a great wine for under $10?” — great cheap white: Argiolas Costamolino Vermentino from Sardinia; great cheap red: Alamos Malbec from Argentina — is “What is the best way to learn about wine?”After many years of fielding these questions, Lettie was determined to debunk the myth that learning about wine is hard. She decided to find just one wine idiot and teach him a few fundamentals — how to order off a restaurant wine list without fear, approach a wine merchant with confidence, and perhaps even score a few points off a wine snob.Enter her neighbor, good friend and complete wine neophyte Peter Travers, Rolling Stone magazine’s longtime film critic.Peter Travers proved the perfect Eliza Doolittle to Lettie’s Professor Higgins. As a film critic he made bold pronouncements (“This movie stinks,” which could be readily translated to “This Cabernet tastes like Merlot”) and exhibited a finely tuned visual sense (“The cinematography could be improved” could easily become “This wine is too white”). But, most important, Peter knew almost nothing about wine.As Lettie begins their lessons, Peter puts down his ever-present glass of “fatty” Chardonnay and learns that there is a huge world out there full of all kinds of wine. He is taught to swirl his glass to release the wine’s aromatic compounds — or esters — above the rim and vows, “I’m going to do that for Martin Scorsese next time I see him. I’ll volatize my esters for him.”Thus Lettie enlightens her wine-challenged butfilm-savvy friend about the Facts of Wine: how to hold a glass; the vocabulary of wine; how wine is made; how to read labels; how to tell the difference between grape varieties; how to make sense of vintages; how to glean information about a wine simply by looking at the shape and color |

Elusive Elements in Practice $34.95 The third volume in the Practice of Psychotherap series, “Elusive Elements in Practice,” brings together a collection of papers examining the ideas and theories more commonly regarded as off-centre, or indeed elusive, in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The papers in this volume concentrate on the religious and spiritual dimensions of the therapeutic encounter, the “aesthetic experience”, creativity, and mysticism. These “moments of relatedness”, or meetings of minds, are discussed and examined with the help of clinical examples.This is an innovative collection that demonstrates that the theories and experiences on the margins of practice can further develop our ultimate understanding of the entire process. “‘[psychotherapists] tend to agree on what is just too eccentric and is to be regarded with reserve and suspicion. These ideas are left on the margins and, getting less attention, they are more elusive. They will not get concentrated consideration either in the consulting room or in the study. This is one reason why they are more elusive. But such neglect may cause potentially good ideas to be lost, as well as ridiculous ones.” — From the Introduction “The therapeutic elements this collection deals with may be elusive, but they are also eminently practical. Steven Mendoza (following Bion) writes on ‘faith’, Josephine Klein on the importance of true ‘recognition’ for the patient; others write on the consequences of the baby’s experience of the mother’s beauty. These therapists venture to look into a more affirmative territory, most of it impeccably psychoanalytic but hitherto obscured, perhaps, by Freud’s celebrated pessimism. The result is a courageous and original collection of papers, which offer a great deal of ‘food for thought’.” — David M. Black, British Psycho-Analytical Society Contributors include Patricia Allen, Bernardine Bishop, Faye Carey, Nathan Field, Angela Foster, Josephine Klein, Steven Mendoza, Victoria O’Connell |

Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food $85 Eating junk food and fast food is a great all-American passion. American kids and grownups love their candy bars, Big Macs and supersized fries, Doritos, Twinkies, and Good Humor ice cream bars. The disastrous health effects from the enormous appetite for these processed fat- and sugar-loaded foods are well publicized now. This was particularly dramatically evidenced by Super Size Me (2004), filmmaker Morgan Spurlock’s 30-day all-McDonald’s diet in which his liver suffered the same poisoning as if he had been on an extended alcohol binge. Through increased globalization, American popular food culture is being increasingly emulated elsewhere in the world, such as China, with the potential for similar disastrous consequences. This A-to-Z reference is the first to focus on the junk food and fast food phenomena from a multitude of angles in addition to health and diet concerns. More than 250 essay entries objectively explore the scope of the topics to illuminate the American way through products, corporations and entrepreneurs, social history, popular culture, organizations, issues, politics, commercialism and consumerism, and much more.Interest in these topics is high. This informative and fascinating work, with entries on current controversies such as mad cow disease and factory farming, the food pyramid, movie tie-ins, and marketing to children, will be highly useful for reports, research, and browsing. It takes readers behind the scenes, examining the significance of such things as uniforms, training, packaging, and franchising. Readers of every age will also enjoy the nostalgia factor, learning about the background of iconic drive-ins, the story behind the mascots, facts about their favorite candy bar, and collectables. Each entry ends with suggested reading. Besides an introduction, a timeline, glossary, bibliography, resource guide, and photos enhance the text. Sample entries: A&W Root Beer; Advertising; Automobiles; Ben & Jerry’s; Burger King; |

The rain fell so fast and so long that all the earth was covered with water and everything upon the earth was destroyed. Now, before the great rain came there was living upon the earth a good man whose name was Noah. God told Noah that the great flood of waters was coming, and that everything on the earth would be destroyed. God said to Noah, “Make an ark of wood; make rooms in the ark, and pitch it within and without with pitch. Make a window in the ark, and set a door in the side. Make it with lower, second, and third stories. Come into the ark, with thy sons and thy wife and thy sons’ wives with thee. Of every living thing, two of every kind bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee, of birds and of cattle and of every creeping thing upon the earth. Take with thee all food that is a =, eaten, and it shall be food for thee and for them. Noah did all that God told him. He made an ark of wood with rooms. He made a window in the ark, and he set a door in the side. He made it with three stories. Noah went in, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him. Of beasts and of birds and of everything that creeps upon the earth there went in two and two with Noah into the ark. And he took with him every kind of food that is eaten. Then the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened, and the rain came. For forty days and forty nights the rain fell upon the earth.

There is a saying among them that if you want to make a man tell the truth you must first make him drunk; and I certainly can answer for it that sober it would be absolutely useless even to try; but Chinamen are much the best servants, only they don’t like jungle work, and are generally no good at it; so we couldn’t always have them, as we were so constantly away. One little Chinaman, however, always stuck to us, in the jungle and out of it. He had nothing to recommend him. He was ludicrously ugly and dirty, and we gave him notice on an average once a month ; but he never went, and never meant to. He knew Malay well, and used to come and translate for me when we had a cook who could only talk Chinese. Malay, fortunately, is as easy as Hindustani, and you pick it up at once. The cook came every morning to tell me how much he had spent at the market, and Ah Sing used to hold the door so that the cook couldn’t see, and repeat in a cheery tone whatever he said, and then after every item go through extraordinary gymnastics and hideous faces to show me what a crushing liar the cook was. It was very ludicrous to watch ; and it was very strange how all the prices went up when Ah Sing did the marketing himself later ! The market was a great institution, and very picturesque with its shining silver piles of fish and its baskets of vegetables and fruit. Fish was our staple food, but they were nearly all full of bones, and far nicer to look at than to eat. The prawns were always good, and made first- rate curries. For two or three cents a day we could get fresh curry—a very different thing from our dry curries at home. The vegetables, considering we were in the |

First Class Cats: Their First Takeoff $12.21 Meet Miss Belle and Bo, Captain Dan’s fearless cats, who out of boredom and adventurous spirit courageously stowaway on his great big jet. Find out how they lovingly sneak aboard the plane and into the cabin to encounter funny adventures throughout the flight. In the end, they are seated up-front near Captain Dan who denotes them “First-Class Cats”, and together, they begin to travel the world. This endearing tale will leave a lasting impression on readers of all ages as well as offering a great introduction to air travel and regulations on-board the plane. In this inaugural story, the authors’ hope is to promote travel, culture, history and geography to children of many ages, all told through the eyes of two beloved cats, Miss Belle and Bo. The idea of awarding them a first-class seat is not around luxury, comfort or food, but rather the proximity to Captain Dan. With the cats seated near the cockpit, he is able to monitor them throughout the flight ensuring good behavior. The authors’ other intent is to spotlight the term “first-class cats” in correlation to obedience and good deeds; something they will look to do on every trip. Please sit back, buckle your seatbelt and prepare for takeoff as Miss Belle and Bo, the two, “new” first-class cats, discover how much fun air travel can really be! Turn the page… and let the adventures begin!www.firstclasscats.com |

Five Golden Rules: Great Theories of 20th-Century Mathematics–And Why They Matter $1.99 Praise for Five Golden Rules”Casti is one of the great science writers of the 1990s. . . . If you’d like to have fun while giving your brain a first-class workout, then check this book out.”-Keay Davidson in the San Francisco Examiner.”Five Golden Rules is caviar for the inquiring reader. . . . There is joy here in watching the unfolding of these intricate and beautiful techniques. Casti’s gift is to be able to let the nonmathematical reader share in his understanding of the beauty of a good theory.” -Christian Science Monitor.”Merely knowing about the existence of some of these golden rules may spark new, interesting-maybe revolutionary-ideas in your mind.” -Robert Matthews in New Scientist (United Kingdom).”This book has meat! It is solid fare, food for thought. Five Golden Rules makes math less forbidding and much more interesting.” -Ben Bova in the Hartford Courant”With this groundbreaking work, John Casti shows himself to be a great mathematics writer. Five Golden Rules is a feast of rare new delights all made perfectly comprehensible.” -Rudy Rucker, author of The Fourth Dimension.”With the lucid informality for which he has become known, John Casti has written an engaging and articulate examination of five great mathematical theorems and their myriad applications.” -John Allen Paulos, author of A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper. |

Food of the Lambs $0.99 This ebook is complete with linked Table of Content making navigation quicker and easier.There is much more I should like to write, but I do not think a large book is accepted by the general reader as readily as a smaller one. So lest this grows to too great a size, I have concluded to close it with what I now have written. The selections I have made from other writers are “Spiritual Declension,” “Seek First the Kingdom of God,” “Stirring the Eagle’s Nest,” “The Little Foxes,” “On Dress,” “Victory,” and the poems “The Solitary Way,” “Sometime,” and the closing.I pray that the sayings of this little volume will animate many a soul to a higher, nobler, holier life. Although it is written to young Christians, it may do some good to older saints. I hope it will. I commit it to the public with no other motive than to do good. |

He had just decided between two rival claimants which was the true Pope. He received the men of Fountains with great kindness, finding in them a spirit kindred with his own. He sent them back with a gracious letter, which is still preserved. Fratribuscharissimisetdesideratissimis, he wrote, Ricardo abbatiet hiis quicum eo sunt, frater Bernardus abbas Clare- vallis, in Domino, salutem. And he sent with them Geoffrey, a monk of his own monastery, a person of ability and experience, to teach them the new ways. Thus the new life began; and presently their number was increased. Seventeen new brethren came, seven of them being in orders. Their number was increased, but their resources were in no way enlarged. The archbishop, indeed, continued to be good to them, and the neighbours occasionally sent things in,—-housewives at their weekly baking remembering thebrethren and putting in an extra batch for them. A little money they earned by making mats. But that year there was a famine in the land, till the abbot had to go out through the surrounding country to find food, and even then found none; so that for a time they lived1 on leaves which they boiled with salt in the water of the stream —the friendly elm, as the narrative says, affording them food as well as shelter. One day, they said, the Lord Christ knocked at the door, in the guise of an ill-clad, hungry man, and asked an alms in the starving time, when they had but two loaves and a half, and no prospects of more. At first, they had prudently refused him, but when he continued asking had given him one loaf. And behold, within a half-hour, two men appeared from Knaresborough Castle with a plentiful supply of bread, over which the monks recited the “Inasmuch as ye have done it” of the |

The very day before we left New York there was a blizzard and a snowstorm. Not in New York itself. There was only a very strong wind there. Nor in Chicago, but all over the district which lay between. One train was held up for eighteen hours in a snowdrift. The last fragments of food in the restaurant car were consumed, and the passengers arrived chilled and desperately hungry at their destination. We might have been in that train. It was not, indeed, possible for us to leave New York a day sooner than we did; but I cannot see why the blizzard could not have waited a little. Twenty- four hours’ delay would have made no difference to it. It might even have gathered force.To us it would have made all the difference in the world. We missed a great experience. That is why I say that our luck failed us at this point. It would not, at the moment, have been a pleasant experience, and I do not pretend that we should have enjoyed either the cold or the hunger; and we are not the sort of people who, under such circumstances, secure the last sardine. We should, owing to our feebleness in self-assertion, have been among the first to go foodless. But afterwards we could have thought about it and all our lives told steadily improving stories about the adventure. The recollection of it would have added zest to every remaining hour of comfort in our lives. What is a short spell of suffering compared to such enduring joys? But in these matters we have been singularly unlucky through life. We have never been in a shipwreck or a railway accident or been forced to escape from a burning house.
