Want to impress your friends with a delightful drink? Or you just want to sip on something cold and refreshing? Well I’m going to share with you how to make the best strawberry daiquiri. This recipe will give you the best strawberry-citrus slushy taste that you will want to savor and have everyone coming back for more. Strawberry daiquiris are deliciously great party favors especially for those hot summer days and during barbecues.

The best thing about strawberry daiquiris is that they don’t need the alcohol to taste good. If you want to make some for the children or those that do not drink alcohol you can leave out the rum and make it a virgin. If you decide to use rum I would suggest Bacardi Rum which goes good with the daiquiri, but it is your choice. Any kind of rum will do for this drink.

To get you started on the best tasting strawberry daiquiri you will need a 4 ounce batch of frozen strawberries (fresh strawberries are fine), 6 cups of ice, 1/2 cup of white sugar (if you don’t want it too sweet use only 1/4 cup), 1/8 cup of lime juice, 1/2 cup of lemon juice, 3/4 cup of rum, 1/4 cup of lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage, and a blender. This should make you 8 good servings of the strawberry daiquiri. Now that you have all the necessities you can get started on the best batch of strawberry daiquiri you’ve ever made in your very own kitchen.

First you pour the sugar in the blender and blend it alone just to make sure the sugar becomes superfine (30 seconds should do the job). After you’re done blending the sugar add the ice cubes and strawberries. Pour in lime juice, lemon juice, rum and lemon-lime soda. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve it while it’s nice and cold.

Best way to serve up a daiquiri is by pouring them into a margarita glass. These margarita glasses give the daiquiri an exotic look and for a little more class you can add an umbrella to the glass. Serve with a smile and drink responsibly.

Well we compiled a list of the best way to cook a ribeye steak and it was hard to just choose one recipe, so we decided to post a couple recipes of how to cook the best ribeye according to your taste buds.

Tyler Florence introduce us to a recipe on how to cook “Pan Roasted Cowboy Ribeye with Creamed Swiss Chard”. It is a easy recipe that only takes 35 minutes of cook time before you can enjoy this very delightful meal. Many of his fans believes that this is the best way to cook a ribeye steak, but we will let you decide that for yourself.

Ingredients you will need:

* 2 large (16 to 18-ounce) bone-in rib-eye steaks
* 1 sprigs fresh rosemary
* 4 sprigs fresh thyme
* Extra-virgin olive oil
* Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Bread crumb topping:

* 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 2 to 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
* 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
* 2 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves removed
* About 1 cup panko bread crumbs
* Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Creamed rainbow chard:

* 1 large bunch Swiss chard, leafs removed from the stem and leaves chopped
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 2 fresh bay leaves
* 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
* 4 sprigs fresh thyme
* 2 to 3 cloves garlic, peeled
* Freshly grated Parmesan, to taste
* Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
* 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Take a cast iron pan and set over medium-high heat. Add a 2-count of olive oil and add rosemary and thyme. The herbs will begin to crackle as the oil heats up and the oil will be infused with the flavor. Remove the herbs from the pan and place onto a paper towel lined plate. Season the rib eyes well with salt and pepper and add to pan and brown for approximately 4 minutes. Turn the rib eye over and place the whole pan into the preheated oven, on the bottom shelf, for another 12 minutes for medium-rare. Add another 2 minutes for medium.

Place a saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic, thyme and rosemary leaves, and the panko and stir to combine. Once the bread crumbs are toasted, season with salt and pepper.

Place a saucepan of cream with bay leaves, rosemary, thyme and garlic over medium heat and simmer until reduced and thick. Blanch leaves in some salted boiling water until wilted. Remove the Swiss chard from the water and allow it to drain in a strainer. Push any excess water out of the Swiss chard using some paper towels. Set aside to dry at room temperature.

When ready, remove herbs and garlic from cream and fold in the Swiss chard. Add Parmesan, to taste, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once steaks are done, remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve on a plate and top steak with creamed Swiss chard. Garnish with the toasted bread crumbs, lemon juice, and season with salt.

“Best way to cook ribeye steak is by frying rather than broiling; you sear it quicker and it keeps the juices in. Just season it (a little salt and pepper), heat your frying pan to medium or just a bit higher than medium. Melt just a little bit of butter in the frying pan so the steak doesn’t stick when it hits the pan. Then when the pan is heated, put in the steaks. Cook time depends on how thick the steak is and how you like them cooked. Saute some fresh mushrooms or onions to go with the steak. Don’t marinate Ribeyes because due to the higher fat content, the meat is very flavorful to begin with and if it is a strong tasting marinade, the meat will take on too much taste from the marinade. Ribeye is also normally very tender so do not use tenderizer on it either. Enjoy your ribeye nice and hot!”

Best way to cook ribeye steak barbecue style that will taste so good you won’t even believe it it just came straight off the bbq grill. All you need is cola, garlic powder, salt, pepper, bbq sauce and bacon to cook the best well done steak with the moist, melt-in-your mouth flavor of a medium rare.

INGREDIENTS:
* 2 (10 ounce) marbled beef rib-eye steaks
* 2 teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans cola-flavored carbonated beverage
* 2 cups barbecue sauce
* 8 slices bacon

DIRECTIONS:
1. Score steaks on both sides in a diamond pattern using a sharp knife. Punch the fatty areas with the tip of the knife. Sprinkle a thin coating of garlic powder over both sides of the steaks, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub to get the seasoning into all of the scores.
2. Place steaks in a shallow dish, and pour the cola over them. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, turning steaks over every hour or so. During the last hour, coat the steaks with a thin layer of barbecue sauce.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
4. Lightly oil the grilling surface. Place steaks on the grill over high heat, and cook until almost burnt on each side, about 4 minutes per side. Reduce the grill’s heat to medium-low, or move steaks to a cooler part, and place the bacon strips on top of them. Cover, and slow cook for 10 minutes per side.
5. Spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce over the steaks during the last few minutes of cooking, and allow it to cook until dry for a glazed effect.

If you are wine lover, ribeye steak goes good with Cabernet Sauvignon. So be sure to pour yourself a glass and those you will be sharing these wonderful recipes with. Enjoy.

First, pick up some boric acid powder (available at most drug stores) and mix a small amount of it 50:50 with table sugar. There’s nothing particularly scientific about this ratio, so it’s fine to just eyeball it. Next, put some of this mix into a small container such as the the cap from a milk jug or the lid from a 2 liter bottle. Finally, drizzle some water into it to make a slurry (i.e., a thick suspension). That’s it — you’re now ready to kill some ants.

Once your concoction is ready, simply set the mix in the path of the oncoming ants (they usually form a foraging trail) and then wait. At this point it’s important to be patient and not kill any of the ants yourself. The reason for this is that you want them to take your tasty treat back to the nest with them. Boric acid is toxic to ants, but it doesn’t work immediately. As such, you need to let them forage and then take it back home to share with their nestmates — this will ultimately wipe out the entire colony.

A few notes:

It might take a bit for the ants to get interested. I’ve noticed in that past that they really get going after dark, so if they don’t take interest right away, there’s still hope. Within a day or two your problem will be gone.

As I noted above, it’s important to resist the temptation to squash them once they get interested in your tasty treat. Let them have their fill and then take it back to the nest to feed it to the queen and her young’uns.

A word of caution… While boric acid is relatively low in toxicity when it comes to humans — in fact, it’s traditionally been used as an eye wash in a low concentration solution — you still shouldn’t ingest it. As such, you should keep children and/or pets away from it.

There are different kinds of ants. Some prefer sweets, whereas others prefer grease and fats. While I’ve never tried this myself, I’ve heard that mixing boric acid with peanut butter is an effective treatment for grease-eating ants. So… If sugar doesn’t work, give peanut butter a try.

Finally, it’s worth noting that the most effective way to combat the ant problem is to avoid it in the first place. Simply cleaning up after messy kids, wiping up food spills, sweeping up crumbs, etc. will go a long way toward keeping the ants away.

Ants have had nuisance value for humans for centuries. Many methods have been devised to get rid of them, but they keep coming back in seemingly larger numbers!
Ants in the household exist because of the presence of food. All food must be kept secure in air tight containers or in the refrigerator. Vinegar, pepper, salt and perfume have repelled the common house ant. Killing ants is an obvious solution but it isn’t recommended because they will keep coming back. If there is any rotting or damp wood in the house then it should be removed, as they provide a great hiding place for the ants.
If the ant nest is spotted then it should be removed from the house and the area should be sanitized. There are various ant baits available in the market. If everything fails then a quality exterminator can always be relied on for a price.

Not everybody likes cucumbers. You may be interested to learn that ants hate cucumbers, especially cucumber peels. You’ll especially appreciate that fact if you want to get rid of them. Just spread some cucumber peels – the more bitter, the better – where ants enter your home and they should get the message. Consider cucumber the “anti-welcome” mat for ants.
Another easy solution is to squeeze some lemon into the cracks.

There are several methods of obtaining biopsies of the liver, but unless it is an unusual situation, the most common method is percutaneously (”through the skin”). A percutaneous biopsy involves numbing a small area of skin over the lower right side of the chest (this site is directly over the liver).

A local anesthetic (usually Lidocaine or Novocaine) is injected with a needle. The needle is introduced further with additional injections of anesthetic all the way through the chest wall and into the liver. This numbs the tract that the biopsy needle will take and reduces discomfort.

Next, a special biopsy needle is inserted into the same area, and, with the patient holding his or her breath, the biopsy needle is inserted quickly into the liver and withdrawn. (The insertion and withdrawal of the biopsy needle takes only a second or two.) Suction through the needle, applied via an attached syringe, causes a small piece of liver (the biopsy) to be pulled into the needle and cut off from the rest of the liver. Other types of biopsy needles have a spring loaded cutting mechanism to obtain the liver tissue without the use of the syringe suction.

If there is a question about the exact position of the liver or a specific part of the liver is to be biopsied, an ultrasound of the liver may be performed before the biopsy to determine the exact direction for the biopsy needle to be inserted.

There may be varying amounts of discomfort at the site of the biopsy especially after the effect of the anesthetic wears off. Most patients have minimal pain, but some require medication for pain which lasts up to a few hours.

However, Novel H1N1 is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. This virus was originally referred to as “swine flu” because laboratory testing showed that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses that normally occur in pigs in North America. But further study has shown that this new virus is very different from what normally circulates in North American pigs. It has two genes from flu viruses that normally circulate in pigs in Europe and Asia and avian genes and human genes. Scientists call this a “quadruple reassortant” virus. This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. Other countries, including Mexico and Canada, have reported people sick with this new virus. This virus is spreading from person-to-person, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread.

The symptoms of novel H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. Also, like seasonal flu, severe illnesses and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) information says that the swine flu can be treated if caught very early with two of the anti-viral medications oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Tamiflu is for treatment in adults and children aged 1 year and older, and must be taken within 48 hours of the first symptom.

There are currently 4 types of antiviral drugs that are licensed for use in the US for the treatment of influenza: Amantadine, Rimantadine, Oseltamivir and Zanamivir. While most swine influenza viruses have been susceptible to these drugs, the most recent swine-flu viruses isolated from humans, are resistant to Amantadine and Rimantadine. None of these drugs prevent us from getting the virus, but can lesson the severity of the symptoms and shorten their duration.

Web User’s Perspective about the H1N1 “Swine Flu”:

It’s not really different from the “regular flu”. And yes, some people are majorly overreacting.
The media is often creating unnecessary panic in gullible people by focusing on a variety of diseases that turn out to be no big deal. Anyone remember West Nile Virus? SARS? Bird flu? If you hardly do it’s because not much ever came of any of those things. Take a clue, people.

To prevent H1N1 you must avoid going to endemic places for that disease, for instance Mexico. Cover your mouth and nose, more effective when you wear a face mask. Avoid breathing air when somebody is sneezing or coughing near you. Get enough sleep, eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water, these will enhance your immune system. Think positive, emotional stress can lower your immune system.

Avoiding the Swine Flu
Stay away from people who have the symptoms.
In Addition, you should wash your hands regularly and keep them away from your face, especially your mouth, eyes, and nose. You can also take vitamins, especially vitamin C and others that boost your immune system, and drink lots of orange juice for the vitamin C that it contains. Avoid stress as much as possible; it can lower your resistance to any disease.
You can wear a surgical face mask* over your nose and mouth when you are in public, unless it is a “respirator”, it will not stop you from inhaling the virus but it could keep you from giving it to someone else if you have to go in public when you have the virus. You should really stay home if you are sick and for seven days afterward or for 24 hours after symptoms are gone, whichever is longer. Only go out for medical appointments prior to that.
* Make sure that you do not visit anyone with swine flu, keep a distance of 6 ft from anyone who has the virus if possible.
* Use a tissue/handkerchief when sneezing and coughing.
* Dispose of the tissue immediately. Catch It, Kill It, Bin It!
* Whenever using a tissue, use a new one each time.
* Wash your hands regularly.**

The swine flu is like any other flu the difference is that it has mutated so there are few that have immunity to it. It is serious, as any flu, to the very young and the very old and those with immuno-supression.

Caffeine addiction is for real and to make matters more disheartening for the avid coffee drinker or cola fan, caffeine employs the same effects as alcohol, LSD, cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, nicotine, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other major drugs. This makes caffeine the widest used psychoactive drug in the world.

Another compounding problem with caffeine addiction is that it affects many people differently. Some caffeine addicts are satisfied with a low level of caffeine in take, like a few cups of coffee. Others can’t seem to function without a liter of cola and a few Red Bulls everyday. Since an addiction to caffeine is highly personalized, it remains any standardized treatment remains a riddle.

Caffeine addiction also has a social aspect. Where as all other drugs have a social stigma attached to them, caffeine products from chocolate to coffee are widely accepted by the general public. Despite its acceptance and central nervous stimulant affecting a person’s sense of well being, caffeine’s use is also associated with a number of physical and psychological syndromes that are similar to other drugs, i.e. caffeine addiction.

“Caffeine addiction is more serious than you might expect it is by far the most widespread addiction in the world. I used to drink caffeinated soda a lot then would feel a bit off going a day without it. What you do is make sure you do not consume caffeine every day if you drink it one day avoid it the next or at least go two days every week with no caffeine.”

There are some specific treatment options in order to totally eliminate excessive chest fat, chest fat burning pills and plastic surgery being the 2 most common, but you can reduce the amount of excess chest fat you have by doing the right kind of aerobic routines.

Here is a list, in order of effectiveness, of aerobic routines that can reduce your excess chest fat:

1. Swimming – The breast stroke is especially effective because it works the chest muscles as well as providing a great cardio workout. Now, I know that some men with excessive chest fat have a hard time taking their shirt off in a public pool, but if you can look past that and do some swimming, it can burn off some of your chest fat.

2. Running – running is a great all body cardio workout. When you run your entire body is moving and all the muscles group are taking an active part. Your chest muscles are working as well

3. Walking – Walking is a less effective form of aerobic workout than running but as long as you swing your arms, your chest muscles are working as well.

4. Elliptical – If you’re hands aren’t moving this isn’t a very effective burning chest fat aerobic routine, but if you make sure to swing your arms continuously, your chest muscles are sharing some of the effort.

5. Rowing – rowing is a massive aerobic routine but it mainly works the back muscles, not the pectorals, so it doesn’t provide an added value apart from being a great cardio workout.

6. Outdoor bicycle riding – when you’re riding a bike you’re burning a lot of overall body fat, but your chest muscles aren’t working that much, so it provides little added value.

7. Gym bicycle riding – This is the least effective workout to lose chest fat because you’re sitting down, usually leaning back, and your chest muscles are totally relaxed. Spinning is much more effective because it involves a little resistance routine.

All these cardio routines can help you reduce your chest fat. Swimming is the most effective while gym bicycles are the least.

“It is as simple as a balanced lifestyle.

Eating things like Fruit and vegetables which are low in fat and high in vitamins and nutrients will boost your metabolism, lean protein such as chicken, turkey, fish or filet mignon, will help to build muscle, and burn fat. While milk products are essential to the functioning of your bones and muscles.

Exercise wise, Cardiovascular activity such as running, biking, swimming, jogging, walking, stair climbing, cross country skiing, and boxing are the most effective way to burn calories and increase muscle tone, but lifting weights will increase size and strength of the muscle.”
