...A Lost Love In the short story “A Dill Pickle” the author Katherine Mansfield tells the story of a couple who meets again after six years. After this interval, a man and a woman who used to be lovers meet unintentionally in a café. They recall about days gone by - the day they spent at the Kew Gardens together. He tells her about Russia and how class-free the society is. At the café, the man indirectly insults her for still being alone. He tells her about his wonderful journeys and that he has accomplished the things they had said they would have done when they were together. The man continues talking, this time about how he studied the mind while he was in Russia and is unable to complete his sentence because he takes notice to his companion walking out on him. When it's time to pay he asks the waiter not to charge him for the cream since it was untouched. This story reveals how time does not change people. It doesn’t matter the experiences that people have been through or their status improvement, people’s manners will always reflect who they really are. In addition, the character in the story that mirrors this idea is the man. At first sight, the woman was surprised how he had changed. She saw another man in hi m. “He was certainly far better looking now than he had been then. He had lost all that dreamy vagueness and indecisions. Now he had the air of a man who has found his place in life, and fills it with a confidence and an assurance which was, to say the least, impressive...

The limitation to this stunning ability makes My Super Hero unable to physically change his atoms. Changing the atomic makeup of himself would cause mass radiation so he can’t.

...Anass Ribeiro Lab Prelab Background: Pickling is the process of preserving food by anaerobic fermentation in brine (a solution of salt in water) to produce lactic acid, or marinating and storing it in an acid solution, usually vinegar (acetic acid). This process is used in order to preserve perishing foods for long periods of time and is also intended to add a more salty and sour taste to the food. The dills are covered in certain acids which are used to help preserve the food for months. The many varieties of pickled and fermented foods are classified by ingredients and its method of preparation. Regular dill pickles and sauerkraut are fermented and cured for about 3 weeks. Refrigerator dills are fermented for about 1 week. During curing, colors and flavors change and acidity increases. Fresh-pack or quick-process pickles are not fermented; some are brined several hours or overnight, then drained and covered with vinegar and seasonings. Fruit pickles usually are prepared by heating fruit in seasoned syrup acidified with either lemon juice or vinegar. Relishes are made from chopped fruits and vegetables that are cooked with seasonings and vinegar. Other methods of food preservation that involve using acids to preserve foods are canning foods and sealing food, refrigerating, and also boiling as well. There are many safety precautions that are very important when it comes to food processing. The process of pickling involves working with different acids at different levels which...

When they drove back by the dump, some of the Ewells hollered at them, but Dill didn’t catch what they said. However, he did catch some of what Atticus had said to Mrs Robinson in her cabin and it made my heart fill with pride. Dill continued, ‘Jem and I were in the car when your father went to tell Mrs Robinson about Tom’s death. I was bored, so I started playing with Sam and the other children in the front yard. I heard something strange that I want to tell you.’ My eyes opened wide, ‘What did you hear, Dill?’ ‘At first, it was just Atticus talking as Mrs Robinson...

...Cottage Condiments After retiring from a career as a mechanical engineer, Jon was told by his wife, Janet, that he had to do something other than sit in the kitchen all day and read the newspaper. Every day he read about some film stars and where they dined out and with whom; which football hero had an injury that would certainly mean that England could never win the World Cup; which Sri Lankan cricketer had taken 7 wickets in an innings; which Chinese gymnast had won which competition; which politician was having a holiday on a Safari ranch in Africa; which Prime Minister was in power in Italy today and which in prison. In fact Jon, too, was bored with his retirement. One lunchtime, while Jon was cutting his favourite Wensleydale cheese to make a sandwich, he decided that it needed some chutney to heighten the flavour. Since his wife had forgotten to buy any, Jon decided that he would forgo the pleasure of the Business section in the paper that afternoon and make some chutney; traditional English chutney from a traditional English recipe, using only local produce. On the internet he found some interesting recipes for chutneys: in fact he found a number of traditional English chutney recipes: peach and ginger, traditional apple, plum and ripe tomato. Each looked interesting to make and full of delicious flavours. So Jon made a batch of 5 lbs of traditional apple chutney that afternoon using apples from the tree in his own garden and other ingredients he bought in the Farmers’...

Uncle Poppy came home with the bug spray and filled the sprayer. “Wait until morning,” said Aunt Mimi, “when there is no wind. Then you can be sure to hit just the cucumber plants.” Sherman and Sadie usually had a good time playing together. Sometimes it was ‘Hide and Seek’ after the corn stalks reached their tallest. Other times, they would play ‘It’ when the garden was filled with small plants. 3 – S. L. Davis This would make Aunt Mimi crazy and she would grab Uncle Poppy to run the children out of the garden!

...HERBS & SPICES HERBS & SPICES WHAT ARE HERBS? * Leaves of plants that lack woody stems. * Typically, the green, leafy part of the plant is used in cooking. * The plants are grown for their flavor and medicinal value. * Some define herbs as plants with healing properties. Herbs: Leaves, stems, and flowers of aromatic plants * Fresh: More aromatic; cleaner flavor * Dried: Stronger, but often harsher flavor; less expensive; crumbling lightly before use will release oils USING HERBS Fresh herbs *Ready to eat foods-add as early as possible to allow the flavor to be released *Cooked foods-add toward the end to prevent bitter flavors and burnt looking herbs Dried Herbs *Ready to eat foods-early in the cooking process *Cooked foods-early in the cooking process *If the recipe calls for fresh and you are using dried you need to ½ the amount. HISTORY As far back as 5000 BCE, Sumerians used herbs in medicine. Ancient Egyptians used fennel, coriander and thyme around 1555 BCE. In ancient Greece, in 162 CE, a physician by the name of Galen was known for concocting complicated herbal remedies that contained up to 100 ingredients. CULINARY HERBS Culinary herbs are distinguished from vegetables in that, like spices, they are used in small amounts and provide flavor rather than substance to food. Culinary herbs can come in two different forms. They can be in their natural state which is straight from the garden or bought in...
