GARLIC

One could trace garlic back archaeologically to around 3,000 B.C. It was first discovered in Southwest Asia; where it was just considered as a plant. When garlic was first discovered, it had many uses. To some it was just used to add an extra taste to food, but to others it was used for medical purposes. Even the ancient Egyptians used it as part of the diet for the workers who helped to build the Pyramids of Gaza. Garlic itself has a certain life of its own. It has such a strong flavor to it, that any dish in which it is a part of definitely adds more of an extra something to it. Besides its strong flavor and medical purposes, in the medieval times garlic was used as a superstition; it was hung outside doors to scare away witches and vampires. Garlic could be classified as either a vegetable or as an herb and it is one of the oldest plants known today. But in whichever way it is used, one can never forget that one has used garlic within their cooking. When you are buying garlic for cooking, be sure that you don’t buy the very large ones; it does not taste the same at all. This garlic is called elephant garlic, and as you may think that you’re getting more for your money, it’s definitely not the garlic that you are used to. There are many different meals and deserts that garlic acts as the main ingredient in, its’ range of use is somewhat surprising to say the least, from ice cream to cold vegetable dishes, to bruscetta and cheese spread. Since it has an exterior skin, it would be wise to take this off, before washing it. You could actually peel it back, or strike it with the flat end of your knife, which will of course loosen the skin. From there on, the user of the garlic has to decide what to do with it. Should he or she dice, slice or put in water or oil. It could be

    The focus point in Sylvia Plath's "Mushrooms" has to do with the Women Rights movement. Though reading the poem one would think it would simply be about mushrooms but Plath has incorporated poetic elements such as speaker, setting and situation, diction and tone as well as imagery. Plath uses mushrooms to represent women sprouting out of no where, as mushrooms do, and fight for Women Rights. By using diction and tone as well as five syllables a line to stress certain words it is clear what her message was; there is no stopping women as they multiple overnight.…

    "She's a super freak, super freak, she's super freaky yow!" Rick James wasn't the only person to portray a message about "freaky" matters. Authors Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubernin coined together to write a book called Freakonomics. Freakonomics is the study of economics based upon the principle of incentives. On certain occasions, there are some theories that suggests reactionaries and economists find offensive by the content that are explained by these authors. These theories are, in fact, undeniable. Freakonomics presents, rogue economists that search for the hidden side of everything. By mid 2010, Freakonomics the movie published their big-break documentary film at the Tribeca Film Festival. There were substantial controversy about the film and book, being that the two were completely different. With patience, time, and effort here's what I critically examined. Similarly, both Freakonomics the movie and Freakonomics the book did convey cultural segregation; the gap between white culture and black culture. A segment form the Freakonomics movie called, "Can a 9th Grader Be Bribed to Succeed?" did not touched based upon in the book. Segments consisting of parenting in the movie were comparable to the book.…

Other types of smell like malodor, stench, reek and stink are use specifically to describe unpleasant odors. They can be strong, mild or tolerable. Most of these smells can be found at the right place, but not always at the right time. Some smells can be annoying to others at school, especially in the classroom. For example, students that wear too much cologne can make other students sick and lose concentration in class. Another type of smell that can also be annoying to other is the stinky smell that other students may have. These are students who can make other people seriously sick. They are smelly students who do not practice good hygiene and do not take care of themselves. Smelly students can also be dangerous and more likely to spread viral and infectious diseases to others. Bad bacteria and viruses can be carried into the hands of people who do not like to wash their hands especially after using the bathroom. These little critters linger everywhere on surfaces, public restrooms and in the air. The best way to prevent it is to write the students anonymous notes and educate them about the dangers and harmful effects this may bring to people’s lives .

    When purchasing almonds in the shell shake it to check if it rattles a lot. If yes, avoid purchasing it as chances are it's aging and shrinking. Preferably purchase whole almonds rather then chopped or sliced, as this will ensure a fresh flavor. Aged almonds will turn rancid so in order to check for rancidity, slice the almond in half and look for a solid white texture throughout. If it is yellowish or has a honeycomb texture, it should not be purchased.…
