Crock Pot – Old Fashioned Beef Stew Recipe
During the fall and winter months, I enjoy making hearty soups and stews in my crock pot for my family. I love the fact that I can spend a few minutes in the morning preparing it, put it into the slow cooker and walk away…a few hours later, our dinner is hot and ready to enjoy.
The following recipe was given to me by my 83 year old great aunt about 25 years ago. To this day, I still enjoy making it for my family. If you don’t like okra, you can certainly omit it from the recipe. At times, I have actually substituted the okra with some fresh green beans or green peas, and the stew was just as delicious.

Gourmet book : Cooking For Beginners
Gourmet cooking appears to be completely beyond a reach of majority of us and we are used to prepare hurried meal for families and carefully following instructions in the gourmet book when we have some guests for dinner. Gourmet cooking appears to be preserving of 5 star restaurants and best professional chefs who have an access to ingredients. However, gourmet cooking is achieved in home in case you are keen to devote time and attention to that. Gourmet cooking is fundamentally good cooking that makes use of best ingredients as well as has certain integrity to that.
Gourmet cooking is a simple food. Even best restaurants are serving gourmet food that would once be regarded as food of unfortunate people. But now when our palates are been assaulted by much processed gourmet food this type of food has authenticity, which our diet lacks.
Simple food of cheese sourced from farm’s own dairy as well as hand made bread is gourmet meal. Braised leg of the spring lamb mixed with minted potatoes dug up few hours ago is gourmet cooking.
The regional specialties made slowly with care & attention is gourmet cooking. When majority of food is fast food, and slow food is the gourmet food. In case gourmet cooking is about to pay attention to the ingredients, it is about paying close attention to you. Gourmet cook should have integrity as well and it is very important to take a pride in you and hone your skills & always get prepared to learn little more. Read more
Five Easy Warning Signs That Could Keep You Out of ER
Many people knowingly experience asthma for the first time when they are rushed to the emergency room with acute breathing problems. Many of them did not realize that asthma could develop in adults. Consequently they did not seek medical help when symptoms first appeared. This neglect can be fatal. If you suspect you have adult or late-onset asthma a final diagnosis should be left to a qualified practitioner, but there are some signs that suggest asthma may be a problem. Many adults who develop asthma will have experienced chest problems as a child. They may have suffered a higher than average number of coughs or episodes of bronchitis. This may have been undiagnosed asthma. Although asthma does seem to run in families because there is a genetic component to the condition it is not unusual for a single family member to develop asthma while their siblings do not. If you have more than two of the following symptoms it is probable that you are suffering some form of lung disease and you should consult a doctor. 1. Do you correctly use your diaphragm to breathe, or do you lift your shoulders and chest as you breathe? 2. Can you complete long sentences without becoming short of breath? 3. Do you wheeze? This could be a sign that mucus has built up in your airways. 4. Do you have a rapid pulse? This could be due to lack of oxygen in your bloodstream. 5. Are your chest, back or stomach muscles painful? This could be a sign of the strain breathing is putting on these muscles. If you do have asthma it is likely that it is triggered by something. The most common asthma triggers include pollution from traffic or industry, cold or dry air, and airborne irritants. There are many other triggers. In women, hormones can trigger a susceptibility to asthma. Some women find asthma becomes a problem just before a period, some experience symptoms during pregnancy, and some around the menopause. Many cases of adult asthma are triggered by viral infections that affect the respiratory system. Others find that symptoms become noticeable as they put on weight. There seems to be a link between obesity and asthma. So what is the next step if you suspect you have asthma? You need to visit your doctor, and you will make the most of the consultation if you go prepared. Think about your home and your place of work. Do these have any triggers that may be starting your asthma? Are there any other environments, activities or substances that seem to provoke a worsening of your condition? Give some thought to your medical history and whether any relatives have suffered from asthma, eczema or any allergies. If you are not sure there is any connection between how you feel and where you are or what you do keep a daily journal of your condition, preferably for about two weeks. With this information and some simple breathing tests your doctor should be able to tell you whether you have asthma. If you find you do have asthma, take comfort from the fact that we know more about this disease and how to manage it than ever before.
