My mom sent me a letter to the editor from their local newspaper the other day, a letter in which the claim was made that government was suppressing a known, proven cure for all cancer, ground apricot pits, also known as laetrile. This writer lumped the FDA, drug makers and all doctors into a conspiracy to overcharge and undertreat people by making the sale of laetrile illegal. Mom is a little sensitive to the issue of doctors and cancer right now as my dad has been fighting bladder cancer for the past year. I decided to do a little research and see what the world says about apricot pits. I found one rather extensive article that gave an in depth history of the development and use of laetrile. It was a bit lengthy and in the end didn’t have much good to say about the use of pits, but certainly one side of the story. I think it is worth noting that this article follows the history of this treatment back to the early 1800’s. The other side of the story, the one offered by the

Ingredients :1/2 cup sugar (divided)1 pint fresh apricots (or canned) (Cut the apricots in half and take out the pit.)1 pre-made piecrust (Pick this up in the grocer's refrigerated section.)8 oz cream cheese, room temperature (Light or regular will both work.)2 heaping Tbl sour cream (Light or regular)1 tsp vanillaBefore you begin your tart, you need to prepare the apricots. Put the cut apricots in a bowl with one-quarter cup of the sugar. Stir them around so the sugar is coating the apricots. Let this sit on your counter or in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. This process is called macerating. You're getting the apricots nice and sweet, and the extra sugar and juice from the apricots will make a little sauce.Now take your piecrust out of the refrigerator and let it sit on your counter for about 15 minutes. This will make it easier to unroll.Roll it out and put it in a 9-inch tart pan. The edges will hang over. Just fold them back inside and crimp so you make a rim on your tart. B

I was having a chat with a friend who operates a fitness club and she was asking me on some suggestions on how she could manage her membership database. As the fitness club has several types of membership - platinum, gold and silver, she needs a sophisticated software to organize all the data and details. Fitness clubs/centres have been a growing trend lately so in order to stand out from the crowd, the management has decided to organize regular talks and events for its members. What my friends needs is a reliable and professional member database software like Wild Apricot that not only organize membership database but has an automation system. That means members can apply or renew membership online and register for events organized by the fitness club. Wild Apricot’s features allows the company to keep in close touch with its members by keeping track on their personal data such as birthdays, events participated, contributions..etc. Online registration for events and conferences

I’ve always wanted to make an apricot sorbet. Fortunately, I was able to find some dried apricots at the local farmers market last week. When I was a kid we actually had apricot trees in our yard. Actually, a lot of people had apricot trees since Silicon Valley was once full of fruit orchards. I remember empty lots between houses that contained neat rows of apricot trees. Those lots are now long gone, replaced by homes, though Apple’s Steve Jobs tore down an adjacent house in Palo Alto to put an orchard back. My grandparents also had a couple apricot trees in their yard; they would pick them and dry them nearly every year. They have since moved but still give us dried apricots every year from a nearby fruit stand. I couldn’t find too many recipes for apricot sorbet on the web, but fortunately one cookbook in my collection, Sorbets and Ice Creams, by Lou Pappas, had a recipe for dried apricot sorbet. I actually prefer dried apricot over fresh ones—the flavor is s

aqua bear cd mem It feels very strange being able the blog again without backing up the SQL database after posting. You’d think with all these days off I’d be able to come up with some good blogging material but I’ve failed miserably. In fact I’ve spent most of yesterday and the day before asleep! I have to start going to bed early this week though, I’ll be driving down the Canterbury on Thursday so I might want to be awake for that! I find it useful to be awake whilst driving! Well I suppose I do have *some* things to talk about. Firstly if you want an easy $25 and subsequently more money sign up to auction ads their currently doing a promotion that gives all new publishers $25 instantly! As of last Saturday (the 8th September) it was exactly a month until my 20th birthday. There’s absolutely nothing great about turning 20, trust me, I googled it. Not only am I no longer a reckless teenager so I don’t have that old excuse to fall back on, but

I have loved the dry apricots since a long time now, and recently, I've started enjoying peaches too. I suffered from a negative notion about peaches for some years, until a friend started getting them for me to share at lunch, and slowly I started liking them. Same is the case for Green Salads. The concept of salads in India is very different from what we see in the US. And believe me, it took me almost 4 years to finally start appreciating the flavors in a bowl of salad. I always knew it was healthy, but never really got to savour it!! But not anymore; I enjoy eating then and here's a recipe that I recently tried. It turned out great- a hand-tossed mixed green salad with apricots, peaches and Ceasar dressing. Ingredients1 bag of mixed greens1 large ripe peach - cut into thin slices1 fresh apricot or canned slices2 tbsp fresh lemon juice2 tbsp orange juice6 tbsp olive oil2-3 tbsp Ceasar dressing8-10 garlic-flavored croutons (optional)3 large tbsp Feta Cheesesalt and pepper - to tast

If you like apricots, then you are going to love these apricot bars. I used to enjoy these treats at the local Daly City Barnes & Noble that we would seek refuge in during foggy Sunday mornings. I’ve always liked dried apricots—growing up in the Santa Clara Valley it was hard not to since many houses were built on or between apricot and other fruit orchards (update: now condos and town homes). My mom used to say they were like little dried ears (the kinds that are delicious to nibble on). Once we moved into the sunshine further down the peninsula in 2001, I never saw those apricot bars again. For quite a few years now, my grandmother, Polly, of Yam Good Casserole fame, has been giving us apricots. She had several apricot trees in her yard and would have them dried locally before distributing them to friends and family. They have since moved away from their fruit garden and now live right next to a very popular fruit stand in Los Altos. Instead of her own home-grown apri

There is something about rusticity in food which always attracts me, like rustic charm of puff pastry and I'm a total devotee of it:) The pre-rolled puff pastry in my freezer which thaws out so swiftly is one of my favourites. You may have to pay little for the privilege of having your own pastry rolled for you. But I'm not complaining as long as it has the perfect thickness for making tarts or pies of all shapes and sizes with all kind of fillings whether sweet or savoury.This weekend when we got a big packet of raspberries from weekend farmer's market, which were the best one I had it in years. They were juicy, sweet with a hint of tanginess. Although I got them for making crumble I ended up stuffing in puff pastry which was perfect for our lazy Sunday. They were crunchy with sticky-syrupy fillings. And best thing is they require very less preparation time. This is my entry for Trupti's Little Chef's in Kitchen (err… am I late?).
