Flageolet with Fennel and Feta
I send Mr TBTAM to the market for French Le Pay lentils yesterday, and he returned instead with French flageolet.
It’s partly my fault. After all, he did call to ask before he bought. My mistake was assuming he knew what a lentil was, and instead focusing on making sure that what he was buying was actually imported from France. He did say the word flageolet, and even spelled it out for me. I had no idea what flageolet meant, but it sure sounded French to me, so I approved the purchase.
Only when he got them home did I discover that flageolet are not lentils, but a type of bean. And not just any bean, but a small, b...

Flu vaccinations have caused serious disease and death, including miscarriages, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and influenza. The influenza vaccine has been reported to be effective zero to 50% of the time.
Safer practices exist to build one’s immune system and stay healthy this winter. Some suggestions for avoiding illness include eating nutrient-dense foods, taking vitamins C and D, resting and detoxifying through Epsom salt baths.

Getting Back On Track
This morning I actually feel rested. Actually I felt pretty rested yesterday morning as well. But my day got hijacked and I ended up spending several hours with my father taking him to a doctor appointment (broken second metatarsal in his left foot at age 88) and then x-rays, back to the doctor, and then home. And then home to our house. I was totally exhausted by the time I got home at 430.But then I slept for close to 9 hours without waking up. So this morning I will go to the gym, then get my hair cut, and go to the library. Then I will stay home and finish what I never got to yesterday. I need to get back on track.What...

Recipes for Successful Entertaining With MS: Start With Eggs!
After I posted about my cooking demonstrations at MS Life 2016, I received a number of requests for the recipes I’d shared at that event. So I thought I’d share those with you today. These recipes are easy, fast to prepare, and suitable for entertaining.
I know that the act of having someone over for a meal can be daunting for many of us with multiple sclerosis (MS) when we think about expense, fatigue, and coordination issues. But not having others over, especially if we used to entertain at home, can contribute to our social isolation.
The three recipes included here can be used for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinn...

Foraged Delight – The Staghorn Sumac
This is staghorn sumac (rhus thphina), whose gorgeous red fruit berries I first encountered last summer atop High Knob in the Loyalsock. Isn’t it gorgeous?
The branches and berries of the staghorn sumac have a fuzzy feeling like the antlers of a deer (hence the name) and will NOT give you a rash. The stuff that gives you a rash is poison sumac.
Poison sumac has a red trunk. It grows in swamps and standing water, it’s berries are white and hang down, and the leaves look like this.
Got it? Good. Now stop being afraid and go get yourself some staghorn sumac.
What to do with Staghorn Sumac Berries

Sometimes referred as Onychomycosis, toenail fungus starts as a yellow or white spot at the tip of the nail and works its way under the nail bed.
The moist and dark environment of nail bed serves as a perfect breeding ground for the fungus.

Tahcheen-e Esfenaj (Baked Persian Rice Cake with Lamb, Spinach & Prunes)
I must apologize for the infrequency of my blog posts over the past year. My new position at the medical school has kept me much busier than I’d ever imagined. Now, a year later, things are finally settling in and I’m hoping to bring this blog thing back to life, if only because the act of writing truly grounds me.
One of the better parts of my new position has been getting to know our Qatar-based medical school faculty and staff, who sent me the most amazing Persian cookbook – Saraban: A Chef’s Journey through Persia by Greg and Lucy Malouf. (Thank you Shahrad and team!)
This is a cookbook tha...

Is Eating Pasta Making You Fat?
I confess that one of my favorite comfort foods is Pasta. It doesn't matter whether it is spaghetti, ziti, macaroni, lasagna, or any other size shape or color, I love them all.Your comfort food may be different, but generally, comfort foods seem to be the ones that put on the most weight. Now that the weather is getting cold outside, this is even more of a problem for me. It seems that I'm drawn away from the salads of warm weather days to the heavier carbohydrate rich foods, the very foods that put more weight on me than any other food if I am not active enough to burn the carbs off.There are tools to help those of us who...
