The book is not about cooking; food is mentioned in the due course of things, but no more than you might expect. One thing mentioned many times: berbere. Berbere is not a spice, but a mix of spices. It is heavily used in Ethiopian cooking, especially in a common chicken stew called doro wat. And so, I wanted some. I looked in the ethnic cooking sections of grocery stores both regular and organic. I looked online and in spice and cookware stores: no berbere. Nobody even to tell me how to pronounce the word, since I know no Amharic. But lo ... white pebble blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4399767 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 03:58:10 +0100 4399767 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4119040&cid=t_268014_107_f&fid=36672&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FSciencebaseScienceBlog%2F%7E3%2FPqmQqTsh2mM%2Fsix-sexy-science-books.html at least one or two of which would make perfect holiday gifts for the science geek, nerd, dweeb, or dork in your life. Remember Science is Vital and so are books. Science: The Definitive Guide by Piers Bizony – As a kid, I devoured books like this, you probably did too, it is a big, bold, and eyecatching introduction to chemistry, physics, geology, biology and cosmology. Each section has a big-fonted title and a lively opener followed by more in-depth exploration. But, these days, having authored and co-authored several of the genre myself, I find each new one sadly lacking. Yes, they give you a nice taste of science, but they're never definitive, there's always some topic that has been overlooked, some niche that is not covered in quite enough depth. Casual readers ar...

It was simply a matter of logic and taste. I like it that way. And I sincerely hope that something within these pages of blogging I have done this past year has been helpful to you in a good way.

For couples in both a dating relationship and a marriage, an important contributor to a satisfying relationship is an understanding that a partner will help the other achieve his/her dreams. That’s huge for married couples, too, but in the married relationship, it is even more substantial that the partner upholds his/her part of the commitment pledged before taking vows. Explains Daniel Molden, assistant professor at Northwestern University and lead author of the study: In other words, the feelings of being loved and supported that people use to judge who makes a good girlfriend or boyfriend may not be completely trustworthy in deciding who makes...

Let me just start by saying I love my co-op, we are a community. For those who don’t know cooperative housing in Canada is not the US model where a person buys his unit but it is the collective who runs it, decides who moves in and who doesn’t etc. Here everyone is a member – not a tenant –and we are non-for-profit. The co-op is governed by the board, and the staff manage the building, and they do a wonderful job. The members help raise over 5000 dollars for my women in Rwanda working in a cooperative to make dolls for income generation. The youth here have raised thousands for various causes. I would be remiss if I did not mention our annual doggie pageant, and Hi... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2267724 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:06:17 +0100 2267724
