our version (everybody into the pool-stylee

I definitely add red pepper flakes or thai bird/ or

Although she does not say it, she could add that pass along seeds also have the potential to create havoc in one’s garden.

Re:spice of life 2, Greens!!!!!
Reply #33 - Oct 7^th, 2009 at 6:01pm

fr. the Chicago Tribune!

Goodness gracious, greens!

You can bet your money on a bowl of greens. It doesn't matter whether you are serving collards simmered with garlic and red pepper flakes, or mixed greens brimming with ginger, you will end up with a winner.

Years ago, "greens" were associated with down-home cooking of the South, but now they are enjoyed with gusto across the country. And for good reason: Leafy vegetables are full of vitamins, minerals and fiber, and low in calories. And can pack a world of flavors.

Today, supermarkets and farmers markets almost everywhere offer collards, mustard greens, turnip greens, kale, dandelion greens, spinach, chard, broccoli raab and bok choy. You can always find cabbage, a member of the collard greens family.

article recipes, continues here

=========================

Personally I'm starting to really
dislike kale, because imho
it's a wimpy lackluster "safe" often bland vegetable. The only way, I'll eat kale is, if it's mixed with another type. I've been vegetarian for decades now, so I don't throw a pigtail in the pot. I like to add liguid smoke instead to suit
My Family's taste! Grin

Every time you visit certain "local mainstream" health conscious or
vegetarian eateries, They will try to
"kale you to death" & shove
bowls of freakin nondescript versions of kale down your throat, as if the only acceptable "politically correct" banal version of "greens" out there, while ignoring the many others nutritious varieties!

When eating out? We'll usually choose collards,
dasheen, cabbage, pak choy or spinach
callaloo over kale, every time ! ( My Husband, Children & I )
dandelion greens can be cool too !

Collards

seem to have more ooomph & bite, it's complex and it has lots of interesting
recipes lore in the African Caribbean & Ethnic communities of the world !

When making mustard & turnips (they have a complex bite & more "oomph" too)
add a bit of the chopped turnip root while you're
cooking, add a few cornmeal dumplings
near the end of cooking time and it's seriously on !

or add a cornmeal style version of
the brazilian" farofa " on the top
or a baked cornbread style crust , that you
cook on top of the greens for
a few minutes in the oven . ~ peace nyao Wink

====================

on a side note, on the greens...

as Many fine cooks here in the South
make sides from - turnip root & rutabagas?
- like roasted, baked, glazed & au gratin style?

Cooked eddoes, and coco yams,
boiled eddoes ( pulped) or
a delicious eddoe soup
(with thyme, liquid smoke, scallion, hot bonnie

It`s All About Jerk For Caribbean Chef

CaribWorldNews, MIAMI, FL, Fri. Nov. 6, 2009: Caribbean-born Chef Helen Willinsky developed an interest in the tropical fruits and vegetables used in the region`s flavorful cuisine at an early age and this weekend she will share her take at the 8th Annual Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival gets underway on November 8 at Markham Park in South Florida..

Growing up in Jamaica, a former British colony, Willinsky says she always thought that British cooking was `pretty dull` and so she turned to local products to create one-of-a-kind tastes that are delicious, interesting and perfectly balanced.

After completing high school in Kingston, Jamaica, Willinsky trained at the Ecole Hoteliere in Lausanne, Switzerland. She spent several years cooking professionally in Europe before returning home. In 1978 she emigrated to the United States bringing the secrets of the island recipes with her and founded Helen`s Tropical-Exotics.

recent health news on
the properties of turmeric and pepper
~peace Wink

========================

Spice Compounds May Stem Tumor Growth

FRIDAY, Dec. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Compounds derived from two spices -- pepper and turmeric -- could help prevent breast cancer by limiting the growth of stem cells that promote tumor growth, a new study shows.
When curcumin (from turmeric) and piperine (from black peppers) were applied to breast cells in the laboratory, the number of stem cells decreased, but there was no change in normal cells, say researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The study appears online in the journal Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.

"If we can limit the number of stem cells, we can limit the number of cells with potential to form tumors," the study's lead author, Dr. Madhuri Kakarala, a clinical lecturer in internal medicine at Michigan's medical school and a research investigator at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, said in a university news release.

The researchers indicated that the finding that curcumin and piperine are effective against stem cells but not toxic to normal breast tissue has important implications for women.
