Amazing Frozen **Lemon**

Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming the entire lemon and nothing is wasted.

How can you use the whole lemon without waste?

Simple.. place the lemon in the freezer section of your
refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and
shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it)and sprinkle it on
top of your foods.

Sprinkle it to your whisky, wine, vegetable salad, ice
cream, soup, noodles,spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish
dishes.

All of the foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste,
something that you may have never tasted before. Most likely
, you only think of lemon juice and vitamin C. Not anymore.

Now that you’ve learned this lemon secret, you can use
lemon even in instant cup noodles.

What’s the major advantage of using the whole lemon other
than preventing waste and adding new taste to your dishes?

Well, you see lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times
more vitamins than the lemon juice itself. And yes, that’s
what you’ve been wasting.

But from now on, by following this simple procedure of
freezing the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your
dishes, you can consume all of those nutrients and get even
healthier.

It’s also good that lemon peels are health rejuvenators in
eradicating toxic elements in the body.

So place your lemon in your freezer, and then grate it on
your meal every day. It is a key to make your foods tastier
and you get to live healthier and longer! That’s the lemon
secret! Better late than NEVER! The surprising benefits of
lemon!

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer
cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.

Why do we not know about that? Because there are
laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that
will bring them huge profits.

You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know
that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease.
Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific
effects of chemotherapy.

How many people will die while this closely guarded secret
is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial
multimillionaires large corporations?

As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of
lemons and limes.

You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the
pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc…
It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting
is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors.

This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types.
Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is
considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against
bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal
parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is
too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous
disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes
from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world,
says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970,
the extracts revealed that It destroys the malignant cells
in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and
pancreas…
The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than
the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used
chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer
cells.

And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy
with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and
it does not affect healthy cells.

I picked these wonderful broad beans from Bonnie’s garden.

IMG00925-20130820-1755 (2)

 

I shucked the beans and look what I was left with. I poured boiling water over the beans and left them to stand.

IMG00928-20130820-1812 (2) IMG00929-20130820-1821 (2)

I chopped up some Baby Marrow at an angle and lightly fried them in Olive Oil.

I chopped some Garlic and Pecan nuts and mixed them with the marrows. I removed the water from the broad beans and mixed them with the marrow. I also added a dash of mixed herbs.

I gently fried the mixture, then turned it out into a salad bowl.

A vinaigrette of Olive oil and lemon juice was then mixed into the salad.

The result – totally delicious.

Variations : add sliced mushrooms

add chopped onion

potato in tyres

These potatoes were planted  in the tyres when they were sprouting in October 2012.

As the potatoes grow, another tyre is added and more soil added until we reached 3 tyres for each plant. The flowers on the plants were nipped off so that the harvest would not come out green. The plants died off and we removed the tyres and harvested the most delicious  potatoes.

sweet basil

Basil is one of the world’s most loved herbs. The Greek word for basil is basileus which means King.

Growing: Basil has deep tap roots, and do not liked to be moved. So transplant your seedlings carefully in the cool of the late afternoon. Keep the soil moist. Sweet Basil is best grown from seed sown in the early Spring and transplanted 50cm apart..

Harvesting: Basil is best used fresh (dried and frozen Basil loses flavor) It is best to pinch of the tips, this also discourages it from flowering, ensuring a longer life span of the plant.

Companion planting: Plant Basil with tomatoes, Summer Savory and fruit trees.

Uses:

Culinary:  Probably the most popular use is Basil Pesto. It tastes good with pizza, pasta, tomatoes, chicken and sausages.

Medicinal: Basil tea is  excellent  to  detox and de-stress. It is good for migraines, peptic ulcers, mouth infections, coughs, hypertension, indigestion and delayed menstruation.

Use 1/4 cup of leaves in  1 cup of boiling water. Leave to draw for 5 minutes, and sip slowly. Cooled tea can be cooled and used as a lotion for insect bites and stings. Basil vinegar is good for sunburn and scalp infections.

Cosmetic: Basil  tea is the perfect toner for an oily skin.

Other uses : Basil leaves rubbed on kitchen window sills keeps the flies at bay and freshens the air.

Basil Pesto

4 cups fresh Sweet Basil Leaves

2 to 3 cloves of garlic – peeled

sea salt to taste

4 tbs pine nuts/ Almonds/ walnuts or pecan nuts

5 to 6 tbs Olive Oil

4 tbs Parmesan Cheese.

Blend all ingredients till a smooth paste if formed.

Serve with pasta, baked potatoes, grills etc.

deformed carrots

These are some deformed carrots which I harvested from the garden yesterday. Looking at them I began to wonder why we never see carrots like this on our vegetable sellers shelves…. I suppose for some it is the fact that they do not look appealing. The shops will not stock them. So what is wrong with eating them? They are still perfectly nutritious.

I made this delicious carrot salad with them.

carrot salad

I grated the carrots, added a handful of chopped Brazil nuts, dried cranberries, a dash of olive oil, chopped dates and a lemon sliced squeezed on.  Delicious.

“We throw away half our food. Up to half of all food is still wasted due to overly strict sell-by dates and the refusal of supermarkets to sell produce which doesn’t look cosmetically perfect, a new report claims. Up to half of all food wasted due to sell-by dates or ‘wrong’ appearance. Supermarkets often reject entire crops of ‘perfectly edible’ fruit and vegetables because of their appearance.
