I only travel when I am okay and equipped with my medicines and ayurvedic oil for massaging joint pains. I remind myself that I have to get up ...

Letitia Elizabeth Landon (L.E.L.): Downfall of a Georgian Bard
It was just a thought I had.
Another thing, you mentioned that she would've had the prussic acid for a heart problems, but couldn't find info on that anywhere. Even if it wasn't an accident, I do think the prussic acid had to have come from ...

Those Indian bridal dresses are stunning! Where I live, there's quite a large Asian community (well, communities!), so I often see wedding parties. But I don't like to stop and gawp, as it seems so intrusive on their big moment.
Thanks for ...

How I Use Fabric Pots For Gardening
Our latest attempt at taming the wildnerness began tonight when we hired a gardener to come and sort it out for us. We have a 20-foot square plot, with 5-foot weeds in places. 2 years of bad weather have done a number on the garden - whenever we ...

Creamy Carrot Soup with Celery Root
Oh, you're right about this. I have certain recipes where I've started with red onions and kept using red onions afterwards. I don't always find red onions though, so I buy yellow ones quite often. I will make a point of tasting them both again, ...

Creamy Carrot Soup with Celery Root
Oh, dill is quite good. It's one of those herbal spices that you won't forget. Do try it :) I see it's listed as one of the herbs in Ayurvedic medicine as well.

Oven-Baked Eggplant/Zucchini/Tomato Soup
Yes, this is a very tasty oven-baked soup. I tend not to salt those eggplants, and haven't come across very bitter ones -- but still, Mom does it best :)

Oven-Baked Eggplant/Zucchini/Tomato Soup
This is interesting! I love eggplants and tomatoes and I use the combination in my recipes, adding zucchinis to the dish sounds great. I agree with your comment below on salting eggplant slices. I too have heard of that and do it sometimes!

Creamy Carrot Soup with Celery Root
Yes, and garlic is great in this soup. It also gives mixes well with other flavors, which is why I tend to use garlic quite often. Onions are not that friendly to other flavors, I find. They tend to be overpowering if you sauté them as base for ...
