So Fire Me; I Need More of This Spice
Last night I cooked one of my less than stellar dinners. These pork kebabs had potential with a nice Greek marinade, yogurt dressing, and good Greek salad. Unfortunately, we were running late for dinner, and I was rushing around so much that I neglected the kebabs on the grill and they were overcooked. I should have known better because this wasn’t the first time I’ve overcooked kebabs. Do you have any recipes that you chronically mess up?
Advice for the Day….Eat More Turmeric, I Know that I Should
I know that sometime recently I was discussing with someone the fact that turmeric is a really healthy spice. Sadly, I can’t remember the who or where, so when I just read this refresher on the spice, I thought it was worth sharing. Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its deep yellow color, but we Americans find it in our yellow mustard. Its anti-inflammatory properties help medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease, and possibly Alzheimer’s disease – the reason I appear to need a little more mustard in my diet. This superstar spice also gives promise in recent studies with mice to have potential as an anti-cancer agent. The only warning I have about this spice is to be careful when you use it because it will stain clothing. A small price to pay for all of its potential.

Got something to say?
I sometimes over fry food and it gets too greasy. Maybe I should add some tumeric.
It couldn’t hurt, and probably no one would even know.
Interesting information about Turmeric. It’s good to know what we can eat that will help us. I make an effort to get these items into my diet.
What recipes do I chronically mess up? Any recipe that my wife doesn’t cook!
Well, Joe, never let that stop you from trying…
A predictable response!
