...Detox Drink -1-2 liters’ of water, depending on how strong you want it to taste -Part of 1 watermelon or 1 cucumber -1 lemon or lime -A handful of fresh mint leaves (approximately 10-13) -Ice cubes Directions Slice up a good amount of watermelon into cubes, rind and all, and put them into a jug or pitcher. Cut 1 juicy lime into wedges and toss in with the watermelon. Add a handful of fresh, fragrant, mint leaves and pour in 2 liters of cool water, filling the jug all the way to the top. Let this sit overnight in the fridge and let all the yummy flavors steep and infuse the water. When you want to drink it, put in a generous helping of ice cubes, pour, and enjoy daily. Flavor Tips • Try substituting a lemon for the lime, cucumber for the watermelon, or a combination of all of them. • Pour water in first and then add the ingredients. I feel like there’s more of a burst of flavor when the water gets poured in and everything swirls around, but there’s something to be said for letting it gently infuse itself as well (the water tends to stay a bit clearer as well.) • Don’t add ice to the entire jug, and leave it on a cup-by-cup basis. If you plan on drinking it over time, this can help prevent it from getting diluted as the ice melts. • Start with 2 liters’ of water steeping overnight, and then experiment with longer/shorter times and more or less water. • Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime and/or lemon and then slice up another and add that to give it a little extra citrus...

...Amanda Knox Peppermint-sweet Tobacco 2,740 words My grandfather was a proud man; he had accomplished many things in his life, and was quick to tell about them. I spent hours listening to him talk of how he had established his own practice in Chicago, and then spent years as the head of the Veterinarian’s Association. He constantly had a story to tell me, or a lesson to teach me. “I worked my way through all ten years of college. I even lived in the back of an animal hospital for a year or so, and delivered meds. It was worth it though. I had to work hard, but it got me everything I wanted in life.” Between innings of a Cubs’ baseball game he would relive his childhood with me. He was raised in the small town of Belle Plain, Kansas, and raised by his paternal grandparents. His mother died shortly after his birth, so we rarely talked of his family. Instead, he would spend hours showing me the best hands in poker, while I counted the change in his “money sock.” I learned quickly that “A royal flush beats all, but the trick is to play with a wild—then you can get a five of a kind.” But our favorite game to play together was always checkers. I could play for days. He never let me win. I had to earn every king, and learn every trick, fair and square. My grandfather always had something in his mouth, whether it was a type of tobacco, or a red-white, pin-wheeled peppermint. Being the “worldly” man that he was, he changed his method with the times. When I was a very...

...By definition, “candy cane” is a noun meaning “a stick of hard candy with a curve at one end, usually peppermint-flavored with red and white stripes” (dictionary.com). The curved end and red stripes however, have not always been features of the candy cane. In the early 1600s in Europe, it was very popular to decorate Christmas trees with food. Among the food seen on trees, were pure white peppermint sticks (Witcher Goldstein). These were the earliest recognizable forms of candy canes. Legend has it that in 1670, a German choirmaster at the Cologne Cathedral bent the tops of the sticks and handed them out to children at the Christmas celebrations (Witcher Goldstein). The sticks were bent to keep a religious meaning in the food. The choirmaster wanted the children to entertain themselves with small “shepherds crooks,” which he aimed to shape the sticks as. These peppermint sticks resembled the crooks (also known as canes) that the shepherds held at...

...Plants such as lemon (Citrus limon)2, mint (Mentha piperita)8, garlic (Allium sativum)3, and roots such as ginger (Zingiber officinale)3 produce active compounds which have demonstrated antimicrobial activity and are commonly used in commercially available remedies to treat microbial infections of the upper respiratory tract7. These compounds include nitrogenous alkaloids, flavonoides5 and polypeptides7. Common causative agents of bacterial upper respiratory tract infections (URT) include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes and Klebsiella pneumoniae 4. This study aims to look at the antimicrobial effect of commercially altered natural products: a capsule containing allium sativum oil 1 mg (equiv. to 3 grams fresh bulb ) and a peppermint dried leaf infusion to determine their efficacy against the test bacteria. Antimicrobial activity of freshly prepared substances (garlic, ginger, mint and lemon) was compared to the commercially prepared substances using disc diffusion assays. Minimum inhibitory concentrations were then determined from products that displayed antimicrobial activity. Fig 3. Streptococcus pyogenes Fig 2. Streptococcus pneumoniae Fig 1.

...Kelsey Moore Nov 11, 2013 Eng 101 Looking into Where the Sidewalk Ends Have you ever asked questions, or thought about what is behind the scenes. Why does it seems like only children use their imagination anymore? I think the poem, Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein is saying that exact thing. This poem is talking about a place that is peaceful, with no problems. But not just anyone can go to this place, and only the people with the eye to see it realize it is there. The first two line is the poem stats, “ There is a place where the sidewalk ends, and before the street begins,” That right there makes me think automatically this might be about something magical, or something where you have to think outside of the obvious and use your imagination. Which it seems like it gets more and more difficult for people to do these days. To me everything is a yes or a no. Or a straight forward answer this poem is already in the first two lines making me think that maybe there is more out there then what we see to a natural eye, you may just have to look outside of the big picture and see the small pictures. Line thee and four make me think a little bit, the state, “and there the grass grows soft and white, and there the sun burns crimson bright.” This changes up my thought because the grass growing soft and white makes me think it is almost like snow. The grass at this place is not the normal weird color green and itchy like we normally have in our...
