Introduction

Pomegranate, (Punica granatum L in Latin), belongs to the family Punicaceae which includes only one genus and two species. The tree is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Pomegranate offers abundant benefits for the cardiovascular system by preventing damage to arterial walls, promoting healthy blood pressure levels, improving blood flow to the heart, and preventing or reversing atherosclerosis.

Pomegranate may benefit people with diabetes and those at risk for the disease. It helps lower after-meal blood sugar levels and protects the cardiovascular system from diabetes-induced damage.

Pomegranate shows promise in killing prostate cancer cells, whether the cells are hormone-sensitive or not. Pomegranate also helped halt the progression of prostate cancer in men who had undergone surgery or radiation for the disease.

Pomegranate may fight the degeneration of joint tissue that leads to painful osteoarthritis, and may protect the brain against oxidative stress-induced changes that can lead to Alzheimer’s. Pomegranate extracts—alone or in combination with the herb gotu kola—help kill the bacteria that contribute to dental plaque, while helping to heal gum disease. Pomegranate also appears to protect the health of the skin and liver.

Recipe Below!

We caught Amos the Transparent playing a show a Mavericks and decided to send them into the kitchen right after to make Parsnip Poutine, Mushroom Gravy, and Cranberry Ketchup.

We’re in a new kitchen this month courtesy of a great friend of the show, Sean Criger.
Thanks again Sean.

Recipes:

Cranberry Ketchup (750mL)

1 large onion, chopped
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cups of diced fresh or frozen cranberries
1⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar
1⁄4 cup brown sugar
1⁄4 cup honey
1⁄2 tsp salt
1 3-inch cinnamon stick or 1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 bay leaf
1 tsp black peppercorn seeds or 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
3 whole cloves or 1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 2-inch slice of ginger

Sautee onion in oil on medium heat until transparent in a large pot.
Add cranberries and 1 cup water. Cover and bring to a boil stirring frequently until cranberries start to pop.
After about 15 min, blend until smooth.
Add cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey and salt.
Add spices to the pot.
Let simmer for 30 min until desired consistency is reached.
Remove whole spices if desired.

Parsnip Fries (about 3-4 servings)

1 3lb bag of parsnips
olive oil
salt

Preheat oven to 375. Cut parsnips into 1cm width fries. Toss with enough olive oil to coat (about 4 tbsp) and a generous amount of salt to your taste (1 tsp – 1/2 tbsp). Grease baking sheets with a 2 tbsp olive oil. Spread fries out so that they lay flat on one layer. Bake for about 10min until the underside is golden brown, filp, and bake for another 5min.

Mushroom Gravy (about 1L)

1lb white mushrooms (about 40), sliced
1 med onion, chopped
italian seasoning
2 cups stock or water
1 tbsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
black pepper to taste
3 tbsp arrowroot powder, corn starch or flour
extra water to dilute arrowroot
1 small bunch tarragon, chopped (1/4 cup)

Sautee onions in 1 tbsp olive oil until translucent. Toss in mushrooms and sautee until the juices are released. Add chicken stock, italian seasoning, salt and black pepper and let cook for about 15min until flavours are combined. Dilute arrowroot powder in a small bowl and fork with about 1/4 cup water. Pour arrowroot paste slowly into the pot of gravy, while stirring the gravy, until thick. Add tarragon when you’re just about to serve it for maximum flavour potential!

To assemble poutine:

Layer fries first, then a fist full of curds, and make sure your gravy (and fries) are piping hot! Garnish with a sprig of parsley and serve with ketchup. Yum!

MALE SEXUAL POTENCY – - A Chinese herbal prescription.
Declining potency for males are usually due to aging, sudden or continuous weakening of health, or too much sex when young. There are many Chinese herbs that can arrest the decline. If taken over a period of time, they will gradually bring back your virility. Of course, they cannot bring you back to when you were 18.

Chinese herbs cannot deliver the mechanical performance of Viagra and the likes. Furthermore, they don’t give you the expected effect when you take them a few hours beforehand. Being a product of nature, they help you build up the potency at the rate your body can handle (not what your mind wants). Think of it as muscle building where a sustained effort gives you a long-term effect. After a period of time as short as a few weeks, you’ll find that the herbs are steadily working for you.

The prescription should basically be a strengthening combination aiming at the kidneys, the blood, the Qi, and the Yang.
1) Kidneys
Xu Duan 續 斷
Du Zhong 杜 仲
Qian Shi 芡 實
Rou Cong Rong 肉 蓯 容
2) Blood
Chuan Xiong 川 芎
Dang Gui 當 歸
Shu Di Huang 熟 地 黃
3) The Qi
Huang Qi 黃耆
Du Huo 獨 活
Gou Ji 狗 瘠
4) The Yang
Suo Yang 鎖 陽
Xian Ling Pi 仙 靈 皮
Ba Ji Tian 巴 戟 天
A combination of 13 herbs are recommended.

One must be careful not to prescribe an overdose for fast results. The consequence may be negative. When strengthening herbs are used, they generate a lot of heat inside the body. Excess heat may bring on sleep difficulty, mouth sores, headache, nose bleeding, or constipation. Worse, it may cause your blood pressure to rise.

Drink one cup (8 oz) of herb tea a day, preferably in the morning to allow time for the excess heat to dissipate from your body before bedtime.
Drink more water if you feel more thirsty than usual.

This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* Your age
* How weak is your body.
* How sensitive is your body to the strengthening herbs.
