Paleo Meals: Paleo Diet Recipes

The Paleo diet is not a very common one among most people. However, it is actually one of the most effective diet regimens available. This is the reason why it would be best for you to consider learning more about it and you might just end up wanting to embrace the diet yourself.When you were still at school learning about world history and evolution, you might have come across the terms "Paleolithic Era," "cavemen," "Stone Age" and everything that has something to do with the period when the healthiest and fittest humans lived. About 2.5 million years ago, the first humans pioneered in the diet known today as the Paleo Diet, Blueprint Diet, or the Hunter-Gatherer Diet. Back then, the hunter-gatherer humans lived in their healthiest extent as they only ate lean meats and seafood, fruits and vegetables, and seeds and nuts. They did not consume any inorganic, packaged and processed foods that were already laden with chemicals and substances that may prove to be unhelpful if not harmful to the human body.Essentially, the Paleo diet dictates that only foods that are obviously edible should be eaten. For instance, rice is not recommended in the Paleo diet, as well as other grain-based products such as cereals and bread. Moreover, dairies are not also allowed in the diet since the cavemen did not know how to milk cows and other livestock back then. Fatty cuts of meat are also restricted in this diet since livestock did not eat fatty feeds before.Although the Blueprint diet sets a lot of limitations when it comes to the food that you will eat while following this diet, there are also a lot of food choices that you can use as ingredients to great Paleo meals.Below are some of the most unique Paleo meal recipes that you can enjoy once you choose to follow the Paleo diet.Leaf Veggie ChipsIngredients:
A heap of any leafy vegetable of your choice
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
2 tablespoon of melted cooking fat
Sea salt and ground black pepper to tasteProcedures:Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. As you do this, wash the heap of the leafy vegetable in warm water. Drain and then dry. You may choose to cut the stems and leaves to shape them as chips. Then, put the melted cooking fat in a bowl. Put in the vegetable cuts in the bowl so that the fat is spread over them. Season the vegetable cuts with the lemon juice, pepper and salt. Transfer the veggie cuts in a baking dish. Proceed to baking the veggie chip cuts for 30 minutes. Serve with a delicious dip.You can enjoy the leaf veggie chips during snack or together with other main meals.Spinach and Shrimp CurryIngredients:
2 lbs of peeled shrimp
2 cups of shredded spinach
1 cup of coconut milk
2 tbsp of coconut oil
? cup of chicken stock
2 tbsp of curry powder
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp of tomato paste
Sea salt and ground black pepper to tasteProcedures:Put a large enough skillet over low heat. Add the coconut oil and then the chopped onions. Saut? the onion until it turns slightly brown in color. Add the ground black pepper and salt to add moisture and taste to the onions. Next, add the curry powder and tomato paste. Put in the coconut milk and chicken stock next. Stir well until all the ingredients are mixed well enough. Then, add the spinach and shrimps, add another pinch of salt and cook further for another five minutes.

Planning Discount Luxury Cruises - Be Prepared to Enjoy Your Cruise!

Planning your luxury cruise ahead of time is essential if you are going to be able to fully enjoy the time.Remember that planning your cruise doesn't mean that you have no room for mistakes or for genius moments. It just means that you are not going to have to worry about all those things you wanted to be sure that you did in order to make your cruise enjoyable.The sorts of things you are going to want to plan are these:
Where the cruise is going to be.
What time of year for the cruise.
Whether you are going to go to the cruise the night before or return the day after.
Obtaining the necessary documents.Plane tickets
Boarding pass for the ship
PassportWhere to carry those documents.
Somewhere on your person.Look at possible shore cruise excursions on the cruise web site.Determine if they are going and doing what you want to do.
Determine whether they fit in your budget.
Purchase the excursion. (Then you don't have to remember on the cruise to do it.) They will give you plenty of warning to remind you that the excursion is coming up.Those are for the trip itself, but we also write up a list that we use on every trip, whether it is cruise related or not. We have a list of things that we keep packed in very small pieces of luggage all the time. These automatically get loaded into our luggage when we are going anywhere over night.
Travel toothbrushes and toothpaste.
Travel deodorant.
Travel hair products.
Travel sundry items such as fingernail clippers, q-tips, tweezers and so on.We call it our travel bag and we expect all the things to be in there that we would normally have in our drawers in our house. This way, we don't have to remember to pack from our drawers into our luggage the morning we are going to leave. Normally, you need those things and can't pack them ahead of time.Then we have a list of items to pack. Some of the items in the list are:
Extra batteries or rechargeable batteries (with charger).
Swim wear.
The camera you are comfortable carrying around in a foreign place. It may not be a foreign country, but it could be foreign to you.
Something to wear for the formal dinner.You can find out how many formal dinners are on the cruise you have chosen from the cruise line web page.
You don't have to dress differently for each one, but some people like to, so you should be prepared if that's the case. There are pictures taken by the cruise line you can purchase during the cruise. Those pictures are taken prior to the dinner, so you may consider that. Also, the formals don't require a tux or a formal dress. But, if you want to dress like that, you will need to plan to purchase/rent those things prior to leaving so you can pack them. Comfortable walking shoes.Pain relievers (so you don't have to purchase them on the ship).Sunscreen (depends on where you are going of course).Extra cash to carry on shore in case you want to purchase something where a card isn't accepted. Cards are accepted nearly everywhere you will be since it is set up for tourism.Light jacket or sweater for those evening walks on the deck.

LaFonda and I have loved our cruises and hope you can enjoy yours as well. One of the wonderful things about cruises is that they are always special. So, if you are going to cruise at Christmas time, or New Years, Valentine's day, or just because you like to cruise, it will be exceptional. I don't even know if I would look for a theme cruise for occasions like those. I would just book a cruise and go for those reasons.For more information about cruises, please follow this link: http://www.squidoo.com/planning-discount-luxury-cruiseIf you would like to research and maybe purchase a cruise, see my site: [http://www.travel.artth

Orchid Pest Control - Five Household Remedies

These tips cover five household remedies for the control of orchid pests.
The best possible "natural" remedy is prevention rather than cure. The optimum way to deal with pest problems is to avoid them entirely or catch them early by regular inspection of the plants. Practice proper hygiene - keep the area around your plants clean and dry. Keep plants up off of the ground where possible. Use sterile tools for plant trimming. Inspect all plants regularly for symptoms of insect or disease, such as leaf holes or yellowing or mushy leaves. Take action immediately to stop the spread of the pest, quarantine the infested plant. If you don't recognize the pest or disease, consult a good orchid book, or take a sample or photo to your garden center. The same book or garden expert will suggest a treatment.
To treat soft bodied insects, such as mealy bugs, aphids, and thrips, use 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol direct from the bottle. A typical sprayer top will fit right on the alcohol bottle. Touch insects with a soaked cotton swab or spray the entire affected area of the orchid. Apply in the early morning or late afternoon, when it's cool, and repeat every two to three days.
To treat hard-shell insects such as scale, mix 1 to 3 teaspoons of cooking oil and 1 teaspoon of liquid dishwashing soap per quart of water. Shake well and spray the plant thoroughly, wetting all affected surfaces. The soap will penetrate the waterproof coating of the insects' shell and the oil will cut-off their air supply. Apply only when cool, repeat every 2 to 3 days. This remedy is also effective for spider mites.
Here's another homemade remedy for red spider mites - add a couple of drops of liquid soap to a blend of equal parts of water and buttermilk. Spray the plants thoroughly to the point of runoff to reach and kill the infestations.
For mealybugs, use 3 percent hydrogen peroxide as a heavy spray. It will kill both the live bugs and the eggs, and will disinfect the exposed portion of the potting medium at the same time. Use a cotton swab to open leaf axils to allow the spray into the smallest crevices of the orchid.
Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that you are using these tips at your own risk - remedies that work for others may not work in your environment, so you should test the remedies on a single orchid first. Even though these are homemade or natural remedies, they are still chemicals and toxic (at least to pests.) Therefore, personal protection is important. Use proper gloves, and eye and skin protection and exercise caution when applying. Never apply any of these remedies in the heat of the day as they can damage your orchids. Do not use on hirsute (hairy) orchids. And do not store left-over mixtures in violation of federal labeling laws which require identification and warning statements on all chemical containers.

Social Media Marketing - Italian Cooking System

So you've got Facebook . And then you've got Twitter , then you've got stumbleupon . Have you mentioned Digg , Delicious , MSN Live , Buzz ......er.....did we leave anything else out? I bet but I am not going to even try to remember?Recently, I went for a cooking class where I learned from an established chef how to cook real Italian food the real Italian way. Little did I know that I was in for a huge surprise.Everything was done in a very specific and methodical way....you don't dump something in because it's the nearest thing on the table. You make your way around the table to take the ingredient you want and you put it in, stir and then the next important ingredient. And you've got to have the cr?me de la cr?me of Italian food....the garlic and the wine.You don't cook the white wine first....I hope you know that! :-)This is beginning to sound like a cooking lesson but I assure you, I cook only a little better than my son. Sometimes it's edible, sometimes it's not.Social Media Marketing has become so...... TALKED ABOUT that everyone's talking about it and trying to do it that I kind of feel a little claustrophobic. I shouldn't, I know, but it's sort of true because when Ryze and Friendster and MySpace started, I was already in the game. That's a long time ago.Suddenly, Facebook and twitter is at the tip of everyone's tongue and everyone's trying to do it.My fellow readers, if there's nothing else I know, I know one thing. You've got to have a system when you do something like this. You don't add dogs, cats, hamsters, aliens and clowns to your friends' list just because they're there. You are also not supposed to tweet and update your Facebook status the same number of times. The people on twitter and Facebook belong to completely different groups.Although you want to reach out as much as you can, you're not supposed to do it that way.If you update your website or blog often, you have to update those accounts too so that people can find it, and (hopefully) read it and (hopefully) find it helpful and (hopefully) find you an incredibly intelligent being.List down a list of sites or bookmark all the social networking sites that you are on and CATEGORIZE them....business, personal, irrelevant, TO SPAM....whatever floats your boat. When you have something up, systematically update those accounts ACCORDING to target audience.This is why cooking Italian food is very much like social media marketing - there's a system to follow and if you don't follow it, you'll have eat whatever it is that ends up on your plate....and spend the next few days in the toilet.
