How Chicken Nuggets Are Made

DrKim — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:09:30 +0000

Jamie Oliver did an experiment for his Food Revolution in which he shows children how their beloved chicken nuggets are actually made, hoping to sufficiently gross them out and help them to choose differently once they know the truth. Sadly, the American children were still happy to eat the monstrosity he created. In contrast, the …

“Beans, beans, the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you…..” I always found this little rhyme at least moderately amusing. It makes me giggle even now. I haven’t shared it yet with my guys because I just know they will probably not stop saying it & then collapse in hysterics. But, they are …

Food Combining and Stewed Crockpot Chicken with Vegetables

DrKim — Fri, 14 May 2010 11:56:00 +0000

I love using my crock pot. I don’t do it very often, because it seems to work best for stewed type meat, and we only eat meat for dinner about once a week. ( I do also use it for soups and beans). But when Friday comes and I have SO much to do before …
