COFFEE LOVERS REJOICE !!!

COFFEE IS GOOD FOR YOU !!!

Yes Boys and Girls, all you Coffee Lovers out there, it's True, Coffee is Good for You. Ye-Ha! Don't you just love it. You might have heard from time-to-time that coffee is not good for you, bad for your health. Not So, but just the opposite, Coffee is Good for you. Coffee is High in Antioxidants, which can protect against damaged cells and  reduce your risk of chronic disease including Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Strokes. 

Now this is really good news, Great News in fact, the prevention and reduced risk of getting Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Stoke is major, and anything any sane person should be ecstatic and rejoice over, "I am." Coffee can help prevent Alzheimer's and Parkinson Disease. Awesome!

Just remember, moderation is the key, too much coffee can cause nausea, jitters, and a rapid heart beat. It is safe to drink up to 5 cups a day, if you start getting over 8 cups you may have problems and adverse side affects. So remember, enjoy your coffee, you can love it, but stay moderate and it will love you back. As for me, I just love and adore my morning coffee. I usually have a second cup in the late afternoon, but hardly ever after 4 PM and I'm finished for the day, until my next glorious morning cup to start another day, my Coffee, in the Cafe, the newspaper and I'm set, Buon Giorno!

 

 

THIS ARTICLE FOCUSES PRIMARILY ON THE POSITIVE BENEFITS OF DRINKING COFFEE, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE DRINKING COFFEE CAN BE BAD FOR YOU, SUCH AS PEOPLE WITH ANXIETY OR SLEEPING DISORDERS.  IN TERMS OF HEALTH, COFFEE IS BEST DRUNK WHEN IT'S BLACK OR WITH VERY LITTLE SUGAR AND MILK ADDED. DRINKING A VENTI MOCHA WITH WHIPPED CREAM FOUR TIMES A DAY ISN'T GOOD FOR ANYONE.

MINESTRONE GENOVESE

MINESTRONE GENOVESE

 

 Mixed Vegetable Soup of Genoa 

Minestrone may very well be the most popular of all Italian soups. It was first created as a way of using leftover vegetables from the previous night's dinner, so as not to let those vegetables or anything go to waste. Minestrone can be made from any variety of vegetables, most popular are: onions, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, and peas. Add a little salt, pepper, olive oil, and garlic, cook and right there you have the basic Minestrone Soup. The main thing that makes Minestrone Genovese different from this or other basic Minestrone soups, is the addition when serving the Minestrone, adding a dollop of freshly made Basil Pesto, Genoa’s most famous food item of all, that just about everybody loves. 

 MINESTRONE GENOVESE 

 Ingredients : 

 5 tablespoons best quality Italian Olive Oil 

1 medium Onion, peeled and chopped 

2 Carrots, peeled and cut to medium dice 

2 medium Zucchini, washed and diced ½” dice 

5 plum Tomatoes, fresh or canned, chopped 

2 large Potatoes, peeled and cut to ¾” dice 

2 Bay Leaves 

2 cloves Garlic, peeled and chopped 

7 cups water 

1 cup frozen Peas 

2 cups fresh Spinach, washed and chopped 

¼ pound Stellini Pastina, or Ditalini 

1 teaspoon each of Salt & ground Black Pepper 

1 - 15 ounce can Cannellini Beans 

3 tablespoons Basil Pesto (preceding Recipe) 

Preparation :

Add the Olive Oil and chopped Onions to a large stainless steel pot.  

Turn the heat on to medium and cook for 4 minutes while stirring. Lower heat to low, and add the garlic. Cook on low heat for 3 minutes. 

Add the Tomatoes. Sprinkle a little salt & black pepper over the tomatoes. 

Cook on medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. 

Add the Carrots and Zucchini and stir. Add the Potatoes, the water, and Bay Leaves, Slat, & Black Pepper. Turn heat to high and bring all to the boil. Once the water is boiling, lower heat so the soup is at a low simmer. Let cook for 25-30 minutes. 

While the soup is simmering, cook the pasta in a separate pot in boiling salted water, according to directions on the package. Strain the pasta in a colander and let cool. 

After the soup has been cooking for 25 minutes, add the Cannellini Beans, and cook on medium heat for 4 minutes. 

Add the Spinach and cook for 3 minutes. Add the cooked Pasta and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.  

The soup is done. 

To serve, fill a soup bowl with the Minestrone. Add a small dollop of Basil Pesto and serve. 

Enjoy!

Inside "Les HALLES"

NEW YORK CITY

“So, there I was, age 44. I was still dunking french fries at Brasserie Les Halles, which I thought was a pretty good gig at the time.

But, there was this little free paper they gave out on corners in a little box called The New York Press. I thought, I’m going to write something that will entertain other cooks, maybe I’ll get a hundred bucks, and my fry cook will find this funny. So, I wrote that first piece, that first version of (Kitchen Confidential) with the intention of being published by the New York Press and making 100 bucks, and being a hero to a few fry cooks in New York.

I wrote it and I sent it to The New York Press… So, every week I’d run to the corner. ‘Oh, I’m gonna be in the free paper!’ and I wasn’t in there. And, in a moment of frustration and possible inebriation, I mentioned this to my mom who said, ‘Well, you should send it to The New Yorker. I know somebody there. They’ll read it.’ And I’m thinking, what is the statistical likelihood ever, even if you’re represented? There’s no chance. Ever.

Out of alcohol-fueled hubris and on the insistence of my mom, I stuffed a copy, a print of this thing I’d written into an envelope and sent it off to The New Yorker, and thought that’s the last I will ever hear of this. Then, a month and a half later, the kitchen phone rings, and it’s David Remnick, the publisher from The New Yorker saying we’d like to run this piece.

And when it ran, it transformed my life within two days... Everything changed. Everything. From that point on.”
