Longevity improvement via diet

An interesting article on how vegetables rich in polyphenols may improve overall health and longevity. All I can say is that it seems to be working well with me :-)

Admit it, you always wondered about this!

There is knowledge in the universe that everyone needs to know, like how to feed yourself. Well, this is a small step in that direction - for example, if you're ever marooned on a tropical island that has only pomegranate trees. I sure hope if they'll do mangoes or persimmons next :-)

How to de-seed a pomegranate efficiently

Best ever cornmeal muffins

Best ever and easiest corn muffin recipe, from "Hut Cusine", M.A.D. Reynold's Good Cooking from Halfway Cabin, Banff, Canada (quite likely no longer in print):

1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

1 Egg, beaten
1/4 cup veg. oil
1 1/4 cups milk

Mix dry ingredients. Beat together wet, and add to dry. Stir for about one min. Spoon into muffin pan about 3/4 full. Bake at 425 degrees for about 20 min.

Frank's tip: Spread spun honey or drizzle regular honey on these and they're killer!
