Boiled Crabs Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
2 each lemons, quartered
8 each new red potatoes
4 each small ears fresh corn
4 each small yellow onions
1 cup salt
1/2 cup ground red pepper
1/2 cup ground white pepper
1/2 cup ground black pepper
12 each live blue crabs
Recipe Preparation
Fill a large (10-quart) stockpot one-third full with water. Add the
lemons, potatoes, corn, onions, salt, and peppers. Cover and bring to
a boil over high heat. Let boil for 10 minutes. Add the crabs, (if
blue crabs are not available, substitute other small to medium
crabs), cover, and return to boil. Once steam starts to escape from
under the cover, let cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let
sit, covered, for 10 minutes more. From Alex Patout's "Cajun Home
Cooking" Published by Randon House Alex says, "Serves 2 Cajuns, 4
elsewhere." He writes, "We like to lay out the crabs and vegetables
on a large table covered with lots of paper and have a feast."

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyOne useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its extremely popular, but it is really safe for you?
Remember, one fact that is frequently overlooked, it is very difficult (although not totally impossible) for vegetarians to take up a low carbohydrate diet.
The majority of the undesirable side-effects observed, such as tiredness, stomach disorders, or headaches seem to be just temporary, but critics contend that low carbohydrate diets are not without permanently harmful side effects.
Superfoods containing flavonoids
(inlcudes cranberry, kale, scarlet runner bean and basil)
The nutrients known as flavonoids which are present in these fruits and vegetables show promise as anti-carcinogens.
Doctors who have been studying the properties of flavonoids suspect that they may well also have many other health benefits, amongst them, anti-asthma and anti-platelet powers.
A good number are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your weight loss program.
