Barb and I enjoyed a nice and tasty dinner in this pub. We ordered the garlic chicken wings, lots of them. They were amongst the best we have ever ordered. The wings came with their home-made bleu cheese, carrots and their special house sauce. Very crispy, and not greasy. After looking over the menu for their main course, we decided on their fish n’ chips. The fish was coated in EBC Two Brother”s Pale Ale beet battet and Japanese bread crumbs, then deep fried. The dish came with crispy fries and Coleslaw. We had Pad Thai noodle and chicken dish. It had light spice with al dente’ noodles. The noodles were covered with broiled chicken strips. It was the special of the night. The locals commented that they have a terrific burger. They have dining on their patio. Since they are known for having over a selection of 20 local and hard to find craft beers. We sampled a few. That was a treat.

Tip of the Day:
Do you think you have a Thyroid Problem?
The thyroid is the most metabolically active gland in your entire body. If your thyroid is functioning at full capacity, weightloss becomes relatively easy. If it’s not, however — which is the case for most — losing even a single pound can become seemingly impossible.
Do you want to super-charge your diet with some of the most outstanding foods for your health … but you’re not sure where to start? Or have you grown tired of broccoli and almonds, and you’re looking for a nutritious change of pace? The Huffington Post featured five of the top foods to consider; these are so good (and so good for you) that they’re endorsed by some of the top nutrition experts around.
1. Greek Yogurt
Gerard Mullin, MD, director of the Johns Hopkins Integrative GI Nutrition Services, recommends Greek yogurt for “palatability, satiation and protein content.” Plus, yogurt is an important source of probiotics, or beneficial bacteria that improve the health of your microbiome. He further explained:
“Organic, grass-fed yogurt is best because you are getting a better omega fatty acid profile. When animals are fed corn they produce dairy with more omega-6s, but grass-fed animals produce dairy with more healthy omega-3s.”
2. Chickpeas
David Katz, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.P.M., F.A.C.P., Director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center, recommends chickpeas for their high protein content, which is especially useful if you’re trying to avoid or cut back on meat.
3. Dark, Leafy Greens
According to Donald D. Hensrud, M.D, M.P.H., chair of the Division of Preventive, Occupational, and Aerospace Medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, dark leafy greens can’t be beat for their high nutritional content and low calories. He recommends arugula, spinach and lettuces prepared in a variety of ways – salads, pasta dishes, lasagna, pesto, soups and spinach pie.
4. Eggs
Robert Lustig, M.D., M.S.L., director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health (WATCH) Program at the University of California, San Francisco and president of the nonprofit Institute for Responsible Nutrition, recommends eggs for their high-quality protein, including tryptophan, which may help with weight management. He said:
“Eggs got a bad rap in the 1980s because of the cholesterol in the yolk. But it does not raise the small dense LDL, which is the atherogenic particle [the one that forms plaques in your arteries]. Eggs are great by themselves, with many different ways of preparation, or they can be added to foods easily.”
5. Avocados
Taz Bhatia, M.D., assistant professor at Emory University in Preventive/Integrative Medicine and director of the Atlanta Center for Holistic and Integrative Medicine, said she swears by avocados for their heart-healthy unsaturated fat. In addition to helping you feel full longer, avocados contain vitamins C, K and B6 along with pre- and probiotics for a healthy gut.
Barb says easiest cooking of an entire meal, ever!
APtravelnews-New Products Tests-March 9th,-Bob and Barb “Stopping to Smell the Roses” at home in PSL, FL.
Finally, after traveling to dozens of locations, dining in fine restaurants, and sleeping in great, but strange rooms and beds, we came back to enjoy our private hearth and home. We found an excellent product to help keep us happy, and that allows us to eat hearty and healthy. Seth McGinn’s CanCooker is a simple 2-gallon cooker that allows for too many recipes to count, great, under an hour, cooked meals. We made our own recipe on the run, although a great booklet of recipes comes with an owners manual, and WOW!-the flavors were fabulous! There are grills for doing ribs, whole chickens and other game meats, as well as briskets, and an entire array of great dishes for a couple, or for a whole family or friends.
We dropped in potatoes, chicken thighs, a can of coconut milk, carrots, a melange of herbs growing in our little garden, garlic-about two cloves, onions, some cabbage, sweet peppers, 12-ounces of water, and let her rip on the stove, after just,clip-closing the two lids on the CanCooker. 45-minutes later, voila, a full meal for us today and tomorrow too! The cooker, much like those scary pressure cookers (but this Cooker is designed totally safe and so simple, anyone including a politician can not mess it up) imparts the flavors and essences of everything in the Cooker, and the aromas and taste tell the whole story about this wonderful unit we can carry anywhere, and cook over any heat source. This is perfect for camping, boating cabin and RV meals too! Go: www.cancooker.com for additional information and how you too, can have one of these great units.
My Buddy Lowe came by to till my garden area! A sure sign of spring to me!
APtravelnews-April 24th, Goose Holler’ Farm, TN.-My garden is a source of more than just veggies, garlic and onions, its my workout gym too! My back is strong, my arms are flexible and almost as powerful as when I was a younger man. When I breath, I feel the sweetness of the earth having been amended for years with all manner of natural animal leftovers. When I plant, I can look forward and down the road to all manner of treasured heirloom tomatoes, cukes and an assortment of my favorite veggies. My tenants, friends and whoever asks me, get great garlic, onions, and “maters” as they call them in Tennessee. My grandpa David (my sons namesake) told me many years ago be a “landsman” and he meant it in two ways. But first he meant it to be a recommendation that if you have land and work it, it will repay you with sustenance. The other way, he meant it was that with land, you are grounded and are seen as having a stake in the community and the respect that this deserves. Coming from a place where my grandfather had no right to own real estate due to his religion, this was a big deal to him and America was the delight of his life. He just couldn’t believe the freedom he had to be a backyard gardener, an owner of a business, and no fear that a Russian or Polish Pogram would come down on his and his family and friends heads, destroying all their lives and quiet peace and enjoyment of their lives (remember Fiddler on The Roof) and it happened to him in Czarist Russia. He even had to change his name or be killed. Unfortunately, today the Muslim Jihadists are taking over from those past disasters and everyone should know and remember what the Ottoman Turks did to the 1.5 million Armenians! So every time I put in my garden, I think of my grandfather, gone since 1959 and wipe a small tear away before a smile of remembrance comes over my face and I say Thank you Papa for the short lifetime we had together!
