I’ve been trying some of the ‘Lidl’ convenience foods, for days when I’m too busy to cook and want something tasty. Last week I got a dried, boxed Pesto-Stuffed Tortellini that wasn’t half bad.
The problem is that when you really like something at Lidl, it’s often there for a while, and then you can’t find it again. Has been true with their refrigerated Eggplant Parmesan (much better than the frozen one they carry) and the salmon with spinach stuffing in puff pastry.
All three of these are really good; but I haven’t seen the eggplant or the salmon the last couple of weeks; and I fear the tortellini will go the same way.
Lidl is pretty good for fresh meats, eggs, dairy - the prices are great - but not always reliable for some of the more ‘specialty’ food items.
......a huge Lidl opened nearby.......will try it soon......
In addition to the deals on basic foodstuffs, they have lots of nice little ‘special purchase’ things every week. At ours, this coming week, it’s gardening stuff. Since a lot of what they have would be ideal for ‘apartment balcony gardening’, I’m probably going to drop some bucks :-)
Ours also has very nice prices on fresh flowers. My desk at work has been adorned with lovely lilies almost every week for the past year - for about 3 dollars per bunch.

Should You Drink Green Tea Before Bed? We Weigh the Pros and Cons

Green tea is one of the healthiest beverages on earth: It’s full of flavonoids that can help reduce inflammation, aids in lowering bad cholesterol and can lessen your chances of heart attack or stroke, Harvard Medical School tells us—all important factors to counteract the effects of the day-old cheese stick and half a sleeve of crackers you sometimes refer to as “lunch.” But does this mean you can drink green tea before bed and reap all its healthy benefits? The short answer: No. Well, not if you want to get a good night’s sleep.
Wait, why can’t I drink green tea before bed? While there’s three times more caffeine in one cup of coffee than there is in a mug of green tea (95 milligrams to about 30), this doesn’t make green tea a bedtime drink. In fact, it’s something you should avoid drinking in the evening in the same way you wouldn’t have a cup of caffeinated coffee an hour or two before bed.
“Green tea before bed wouldn’t be the best idea because it definitely does have caffeine in it,” says nutritionist Sarah Adler, author of Simply Real Eating. “Any amount is going to trigger your adrenals and hormones to be in a more awakened state. A cup or two earlier in the day or midday would be a better idea.”
Maybe I should play it safe and skip the green tea altogether?
Wait, no! Green tea is perfectly fine to drink once or twice a day. You might want to consider restricting yourself to two cups if you have a history of kidney stones, however, because both green and black teas contain high levels of oxalates that could lead to the formation of more,

I don’t imbibe caffeine in any form after 4 PM. I drink a couple of cups of coffee in the early morning, and then it’s a bottle of Diet Soda, sipped until end of work day.
After that, it’s just water - or Guinness :-)
Guinness is mostly fermented water with a few hops for flavor.......snix.
Makes me happy. (Not so sure about those who are around me when I break wind ;-)
I remember hearing that the racehorses in Ireland always got a bottle in their mash; not sure that’s still going on.

Definitely F/F.....Limoges also makes wondrous veg-themed serving pieces.

ON THE MENU IN INDIA
Pres Trump will visit Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, where he will be served high tea prepared by chef Suresh Khanna.
The high tea will include local vegetarian dishes including broccoli and corn button samosa, and khaman, a dish made with soaked and freshly ground channa dal.
Dessert will consist of kaju katli, which is also known as kaju barfi, and literally translates to cashew slice.
However, Trump will also have the chance to indulge in an American favorite, as apple pie will also be served, along with exotic fruit.
Chef Suresh Khanna of the Fortune Landmark Hotel told Business Times: “We received the information a day before to prepare high tea for honorable president and we are very excited.
“There will be fortune cookies, Gujarati delicacy nylon khaman, then my specialist broccoli and corn samosa and then the cinnamon apple pie and kaju larki for dessert.”
Please give him some steak-----my president does not look too happy eating Indian delicacies.
...”broccoli..and..corn button simosas...”
Poor thing. Hang in there, sir, it won’t be long before those WHOPPERS are yours!
Maybe he’s got a few Whoppers stashed on Air Force One?
I think I’ll have one for dinner...for him..!
I like that better than cabbage soup. (Husband really likes cabbage soup, though :-)
My favorite use for cabbage is in cole slaw, or other raw salad - like Kimchi!
The most-used recipe for Kimchi involves Napa-style cabbage; but my Korean friends have taught me what they call ‘Fresh’ Kimchi, and they make that out of our regular cabbages.
And then there is ‘Bachelor Kimchi’ - usually made with radishes, but long white ones, not the little, round red ones in our supermarkets. (You can probably use sliced Daikon, if ‘ponytail’ isn’t available; but the aesthetic won’t be quite the same :-).
