Lipstick

January 27th, 2008 , 11:18 am

There has been a “growing” trend among women in recent years regarding their cup size, and scientists are trying to figure out where it is coming from. People point to early puberty as being a potential cause, but there’s also another angle worth considering: lipstick.

Chemicals found in lipstick (and other cosmetic products) contain a false hormone called xeno-oestrogen. This mimicking chemical is added to things that are being applied directly to the human body, thus absorbed into women’s systems. The artificial hormone acts like oestrogen, which has been known to increase bust size (even in men).

Now it’s obvious that lipstick alone is not the culprit. But when taken in small quantities every day from dozens of products, xeno-oestrogen seems like an easy target. Who knows for sure what’s affecting it? There’s a chance it has nothing to do with these external influences at all. Any women out there with more insight and experience in this area?

3 c Heavy cream


Almond Chocolate Creme Brulee Instructions:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat cream until bubbles start to form around edges of pan.
In large saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar and cocoa.
Slowly add hot cream to yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, 5 to 7 minutes, or until mixture thickens.
Temperature should be approximately 175-180 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
Do not boil. Remove from heat and add bittersweet chocolate; stir to blend.
Divide mixture evenly among 8 ovenproof 1/2 cup custard or souffle dishes.
Sprinkle almonds over tops, dividing evenly. over and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
One hour before serving, place all dishes in freezer. Just before serving, preheat broiler. Sprinkle top of each creme brulee with 2 teaspoons brown sugar. Place dishes under broiler 5 to 6 inches from heat and broil 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, just to carmelize sugar. Watch carefully, since brown sugar burns easily. Serve immediately.
Any leftover creme brulee should be refrigerated and eaten within a day.

Stuffing

January 23rd, 2008 , 5:13 am

 My dog is a dork, he has a problem with my comforter.  You know the stuffing inside them? Well I don’t know what it is but he just don’t seem to want to leave it inside the blanket. I don’t know how many times I have stitched up the holes he’s put in the ends to get the stuffing out. I have gone in my room several times to see him laying in the middle of all the stuffing he’s taken out and barking at it. So now I have to make sure to close my door so he can’t get in there. Mind you he has a million toys laying about the house but guess none as good as the stuffing in my comforter.
