Make your Groceries Last Longer

I've always used some of these tip, but a few are new and want to try. Like to buy these ethylene absorber. Remember when they used special plastic bags for keeping organic foods for a longer periods of time as this produce does not have spray in or on them so the parish more than the other. Pat You probley could crumble or fold one of these bags in your produce tray in the fridge also.

A set of 3 costs $16. These little pods absorb the ethylene emitted by fruits and vegetables to keep them fresh up to 3x longer. Here’s a handy list of ethylene-producing and ethylene-sensitive foods.


Plastic Wrap For Crown Of Bananas – If you buy bananas in dozens but eat one a day then you should try wrapping the crown of that bunch with plastic. This trick will make the bananas last for up to 5 days longer. Also, keep bananas separated from other fruits as they get ripened much faster by the huge amount of ethylene gas released by bananas. - See more and another site source is listed.

Mushrooms provide a vast array of potential medicinal compounds. Many mushrooms -- such as portobello, oyster, reishi and maitake -- are well-known for these properties, but the lion's mane mushroom, in particular, has drawn the attention of researchers for its notable nerve-regenerative properties.

REISHE AND DIABETES STUDY

Reishi And Diabetes
According to researchers from the Institute of Vascular Medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, reishi mushrooms can lower blood sugar levels in laboratory animals.

For their study, which was published in the May 2009 edition of Phytomedicine, the researchers fed 0.03 and 0.3g/kg of reishi extracts to diabetic mice over a one-month period. The extracts lowered the blood glucose levels of the mice within a single week, leading the researchers to believe that the mushroom inhibits an enzyme used by the liver to produce glucose.


Another Chinese study, which was conducted by researchers at the Department of Pharmacology of Peking University in Beijing and published in the December 2006 issue of the Journal of Asian Natural Products Research, specifically looked into reishi's effects on diabetic kidney disease. After the eight-week trial period, the diabetic subjects exhibited noticeably reduced markers of kidney stress, as well as lowered triglyceride and blood sugar levels. The researchers concluded that reishi mushrooms can prevent or halt the progression of diabetic kidney complications.

Important: Unlike most other medicinal mushrooms, which can be eaten cooked, reishi have a tough texture that is difficult for our stomachs to digest. Therefore, if you're interested in utilizing reishi as a medicine, consider consuming it in extract form (like in the studies) for improved nutrient absorption.

MEDICAL, INVIRONMENTAL, RADIATIONAL MUSHROOMS

Its best to know what you need to fix: body, mind, environment (water, clean ups) , radiation, oil spills, disease's, or food and nutrition. Where is it growing will give you a clue to its value for your use. This is a topic for deep study to get the cures.
This is the best program with help to the environment, radiation and the medical mushrooms I've ever heard. Paul Stamets is on the ball and knows his subject as he talked about his discovery on how to use mushrooms to decompose toxic wastes and pollutants, catch and reduce silt from streambeds and pathogens from agricultural watersheds, as well as control insect populations, and generally enhance the health of our forests, gardens and bodies.

Battered Fried Veggies

I love flour battered vegetables. This one is easy. I did not do the meat, only the veggies. This was on the Rachel's TV show. Below is the link to that show. She did not do the meats on the first part of the video.

INGREDIENTS

Oil for frying, such as canola, vegetable or an olive oil/vegetable blend

2 1/2 cups flour, divided

Salt and pepper

6 large eggs, divided

1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs

1/2 cup, a couple of handfuls, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

3 pieces (1 1/4 pounds) boneless, skinless chicken breast, tenderloin removed

1 pork tenderloin (about 3/4 pound), trimmed of silver skin

3/4 pound veal medallions/scallops

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1 cup seltzer water

1 pound butternut squash, peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick

3 potatoes, peeled and halved lengthwise then sliced 1/2-inch thick

3/4 pound cremini/portabella, fresh porcini or trumpet mushrooms, cut into

chunks

1/4 pound large spinach leaves

20 large sage leaves

1 cup large sprigs flat-leaf parsley

Lemon wedges and flaky sea salt, to serve

PREPARATION

Fill a tabletop fryer or deep Dutch oven with oil. If using a Dutch oven, fill 1

1/2 to 2 inches deep and heat over medium to medium-high heat. For tabletop

fryers, preheat oil to 365°F.

Set up a breading station for meat: In separate shallow dishes, place 1 cup

flour seasoned with salt and pepper, 4 eggs beaten and seasoned with salt and

pepper, and breadcrumbs mixed with grated cheese.

Preheat oven to 250°F. Arrange a metal rack inserted into large baking sheet.

Slice the chicken and pork on a bias into thin medallions. Season chicken, pork

and veal pieces with salt and pepper. Bread meats in flour, egg then

breadcrumbs, and fry in small batches to deep golden on both sides, about 3-4

minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a low oven.

Place remaining 1 1/2 cups flour in a bowl and season with salt, pepper and

nutmeg. Whisk in 2 eggs and seltzer to form a batter. Dip and fry butternut

squash, potatoes and mushrooms in small batches. Drain on parchment or a paper

towel-lined platter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt while hot. Dip and

flash-fry the spinach then the herbs; they will cook very quickly.

Serve fried meats and vegetables, spinach and herbs on a platter with lemon

wedges for dousing.

MIND ALTERING MUSHROOMS FOR DEPRESSION

Psychedelic mushrooms can do more than make you see the world in kaleidoscope. Research suggests they may have permanent, positive effects on the human brain.
In fact, a mind-altering compound found in some 200 species of mushroom is already being explored as a potential treatment for depression and anxiety. People who consume these mushrooms, after “trips” that can be a bit scary and unpleasant, report feeling more optimistic, less self-centered, and even happier for months after the fact.
But why do these trips change the way people see the world? According to a study published today in Human Brain Mapping, the mushroom compounds could be unlocking brain states usually only experienced when we dream, changes in activity that could help unlock permanent shifts in perspective.
The study examined brain activity in those who’d received injections of psilocybin, which gives “shrooms” their psychedelic punch. Despite a long history of mushroom use in spiritual practice, scientists have only recently begun to  examine the brain activity of those using the compound, and this is the first study to attempt to relate the behavioral effects to biological changes.
After injections, the 15 participants were found to have increased brain function in areas associated with emotion and memory. The effect was strikingly similar to a brain in dream sleep, according to Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, a post-doctoral researcher in neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London and co-author of the study.
“You’re seeing these areas getting louder, and more active,” he said. “It’s like someone’s turned up the volume there, in these regions that are considered part of an emotional system in the brain. When you look at a brain during dream sleep, you see the same hyperactive emotion centers.”
In fact, administration of the drug just before or during sleep seemed to promote higher activity levels during Rapid Eye Movement sleep, when dreams occur. An intriguing finding, Carhart-Harris says,given that people tend to describe their experience on psychedelic drugs as being like “a waking dream.” It seems that the brain may literally be slipping into unconscious patterns while the user is awake.

Conversely, the subjects of the study had decreased activity in other parts of the brain—areas associated with high level cognition. “These are the most recent parts of our brain, in an evolutionary sense,” Carhart-Harris said. “And we see them getting quieter and less organized.”
This dampening of one area and amplification of another could explain the “mind-broadening” sensation of psychedelic drugs, he said. Unlike most recreational drugs, psychotropic mushrooms and LSD don’t provide a pleasant, hedonistic reward when they’re consumed. Instead, users take them very occasionally, chasing the strange neurological effects instead of any sort of high.
“Except for some naïve users who go looking for a good time…which, by the way, is not how it plays out,” Carhart-Harris said, “you see people taking them to experience some kind of mental exploration, and to try to understand themselves.”
Our firm sense of self—the habits and experiences that we find integral to our personality—is quieted by these trips. Carhart-Harris believes that the drugs may unlock emotion while “basically killing the ego,” allowing users to be less narrow-minded and let go of negative outlooks.
It’s still not clear why such effects can have more profound long-term effects on the brain than our nightly dreams. But Carhart-Harris hopes to see more of these compounds in modern medicine. “The way we treat psychological illnesses now is to dampen things,” he said. “We dampen anxiety, dampen ones emotional range in the hope of curing depression, taking the sting out of what one feels.”
But some patients seem to benefit from having their emotions “unlocked” instead. “It would really suit the style of psychotherapy where we engage in a patient’s history and hang-ups,” Carhart-Harris said. “Instead of putting a bandage over the exposed wound, we’d be essentially loosening their minds—promoting a permanent change in outlook.”

Paul Stamets and John B. Wells - Mushrooms-Environment

Will mushrooms change the world? Paul Stamets has six books on the subject.  I've even collected Mushrooms in Oregon. Don't do that. We have enough in stores we don't have to forage which may not be the safest recreation. I use the capsule Lion's Bane for brain, for depression and intellect. LOL. Mushrooms are a part of my diet and I use them in many ways.


Starnets is on Facebook and I get to see his new stuff that comes out on environmental issues and mushrooms. He's from Oregon my home.
