Oh wow! great tips Thanks Syl
When we are grateful for the good we already have, we attract more good into our life. On the other hand, when we are ungrateful, we tend to shut ourselves off from the good we might otherwise experience. ~Sylvia ----- Original Message ----- From: steve doyle To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 09, 2007 4:30 AM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] TIPS FIVE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS Chef Esther Lee of Washington's Obelisk Restaurant lists five must-have items for your kitchen: 1. Pepper grinder. (Lee says, "Some people are still cooking with pre-ground pepper, which is dusty and really has nothing going on for it.") 2. Kitchen tongs. (Opt for a long-handled, spring-loaded pair.) 3. Japanese mandoline to slice fruits and vegetables evenly. 4. Microplane grater for preparing garlic, citrus zest and cheese. 5. A coffee grinder for spices. (Keep a separate grinder for coffee beans.)

Raise the oil and/or lower the vinegar content of your dressing accordingly. These same greens also benefit from dressings with a touch of sweetness. Balsamic vinegar and orange juice are two acids with a pronounced sweetness. Or add a touch of sugar or a drizzle of honey.
