Cucumbers with Yogurt & Mint

Almost every day I eat with my energy in mind, but I don't let that be the end of it. I

take what I have learned about what works best for my body and take it one step

further in order to connect with the changing seasons!

While there are many effective ways to get more energy and build your productivity,

I've found it very important to pay attention to the seasons.

"But wait a minute," you say. "Aren't I supposed to be eating great food all of the

time?"

Yes, you are! And after you understand what foods work best for your body, you

should then adjust to fit the seasons. Over the past few years, I've found this to be

the best way to get healthy, build my productivity, and increase my energy, and one of the best summer foods that helps with all of it is cucumbers:

Cucumber

- Contains 90% water

- Relieves edema

- Effective diuretic

- Cleanses and purifies the blood

- Helps break down protein (better digestion = more energy!)

Sausage seasoning varies with the region and the country. Since sausages are preferred by some spicy or simply garlicky, you can imagine how various the sausage herb and spices blends can be. Every individual likes a certain flavor added to the meat and the flavor also varies with the style of cooking the meat. Generally speaking sausages are fired or grilled so perhaps people would be more inclined to use sausage seasoning that somewhat resembles that of barbecued meat. And it so happens that if you want to purchase a certain kind of sausage seasoning and you are in a foreign country, you might not find it on the store shelves. Instead you will find other brands that will reflect the local tendencies in cuisine. Thus the sausage seasoning is not of only one kind and another tendency nowadays is to combine whatever you are into in terms of flavors borrowing ideas from other cultures and cuisines all over the world.

Recipe for a delicious oyster stuffing, perfect for that Thanksgiving turkey, or maybe the Christmas goose. My friend said a couple of years ago "that's the best oyster dressing I have ever eaten. I hope you like it too! -- Frank

Sauces are unusual components of meals. Often they do not merit more than an afterthought as they are the natural cooking mediums of stews. Or they're made as an afterthought. Yet, in French-influenced cuisine a sauce is a central part of the culinary experience that adds to the meal itself. Here, two sauces are presented: one classic and one very modern.
