A recent LifeHacker thread on natural water flavoring has me thinking I should have a couple of small pots in the office, so I can grow cucumber and mint.  I’d have never thought to put a sliver of cucumber skin in my water.  Cucumber under fluorescent lighting should do fine, and mint is impossible to kill.

WassailThe best thing about cold weather is drinking wassail.

Get a big pot.  Put in:

  • 2 parts apple juice
  • 1 part cranberry juice
  • 1 part orange juice
  • throw in some allspice
  • throw in a few cinammon sticks

Heat it up, without boiling, letting it soak up the cinammon and allspice.  Lovely.

 zucchini_2.JPG Here’s one of the best foods around — fried zucchini ["biologically, the zucchini is a fruit, being the swollen ovary of the zucchini flower" -- didn't know that].

  1. Mix together some raw eggs in a big bowl.
  2. Put some corn meal in another bowl.
  3. Cut up your zucchini into thin slices.
  4. Dip them in the egg.
  5. Dip them in the corn meal.
  6. Fry ‘em up in vegetable oil until they’re lightly golden. Put them on layers of paper towels immediately, to soak up the extra oil.

I generally eat about half of them before they’re ever put on the table.  Yummy.
