Simple Pleasures Food Treasures
I confess, I read about and watch videos about cooking more than I actually cook. However, there are times when I just have to bust out and create something that strikes that nostalgic chord. I was remembering my childhood and thinking of some of the foods my Dad had introduced us to. Other than that one time after a really good afternoon at the pub when he came home and made sandwiches of sardines dressed them with fried eggs, mustard, mayo, ketchup, AND peanut butter, for the most part he was a simple man and loved simple hearty meals. Cornmeal was one of his favorites. Cornmeal, definitely an unsung hero, is a surprisingly versatile food that has been used for hundreds of years as a dietary staple. As we enter times of scarcities and food shortages, and look for inexpensive foods with a long shelf life, this humble commodity can become a shining star at your table.

Six wholesome foods that increase metabolism
It all boils down to metabolism, which, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, is the term for all chemical processes that take place within your body. Your cells must undergo these chemical reactions in order to create energy. The founder and medical director of Case Integrative Health, Casey Kelley, MD, ABoIM, explains that the word "metabolic health" relates to how well your body produces this energy. She continues by stating that "metabolic rate" refers to how many calories (i.e., energy) your body needs to carry out essential tasks like breathing.

Ugly Blinis
I was making the blinis (Russian version of crepes) the other day and remembered how my great aunt used to make them. Baba Lyuba, as we called her lovingly, was my maternal mother's older sister and they lived across the road from each other in our "ancestrial village" in the north of Kyrgyzstan. They were "Irish twins," only 18 months apart, and when I became aware of myself, baba Lyuba was already a "pensioner." Women retired at 55 at that time in the Soviet Union, and my grandma, who was born in 1924, retired at 50 as a mother of 5 children (mother-heroines they were called). So, for as long as I remember myself, they both were retired, and just living their lives off the land and their small pensions (social security payments). Simple, heavenly life.
