What else can you do to improve your health and avoid bugs? It’s been a long, wet winter. Everybody has got colds, and now we are braced for a coronavirus epidemic. Boosting our immune system has rarely felt more urgent, but, beyond eating more tangerines and hoping for the best, what else can we do? Sheena Cruickshank, a professor of immunology at the University of Manchester, has a “shocking cold” when we speak at a safe distance, over the phone. To know how to take care of your immune system, she says, first you need to understand the weapons in your armoury – a cheeringly impressive collection, it turns out. “When you come into contact with a germ you’ve never met before,” she says, “you’ve got various barriers to try to stop it getting into your body.” As well as skin, we have mucus – “snot is a really

Chicken  scarpariello , the Italian-American dish of chicken braised with sausage and peppers in a sweet-and-sour sauce, is one of those perfect Tuesday-night meals. It's punchy, it's not for the timid, but it's ultimately very easy to make, requiring just a single sauté pan or Dutch oven, about 25 minutes on the stovetop, and a half hour in the oven. Serves: 4-6 4 chicken breasts or thighs, cut in large pieces. Thighs give more flavour and stay juicy. ½ teaspoon/2ml salt ¼ teaspoon/1ml black pepper 2 tablespoons/30ml olive oil 3-4 link Italian style sausages (sweet or hot, we prefer the hot) 1 red bell pepper, cut in 1 inch/2.5cm pieces 1 green bell pepper, cut in 1 inch/2.5cm pieces 3 hot cherry pepper drained, seeded & chopped 4 garlic clove chopped or thinly sliced ½ cup/120ml dry white wine ½ cup/120ml chicken stock 2 tablespoons/30ml cornstarch 2 tablespoons/30ml hot cherry pepper juice (optional) 12 ounces/340g orzo pasta olive oil Handful of parsley, ch

Are you happy now?? by  KORIN MILLER JAN 29, 2020 Despite their genius nature, sporks aren’t something you regularly see on tables. So, it’s only natural that people get really, really excited when they happen to spot one in the wild. Apparently, some people visiting  Disneyland  have been so pumped about spotting the super special sporks at the Docking Bay 7 restaurant in  Star Wars : Galaxy’s Edge  that they’ve kinda-sorta-totally stolen them. Disneyland caught wind of this after people posted on social media about their loot, and, after a few months, they decided to actually put them up for sale, per  CNN . If you happen to visit the Docking Bay 7 restaurant, you’ll have the option of purchasing your own spork (with a  Galaxy's Edge -themed travel bag!) for $10.99—it’s right on the  menu . At nearly $11, the spork is nearly double the cost of the next-most expensive menu item (Rising Moon Overnight Oats made with yogurt, oats, fruit, and “popping pear

Pickles have been around for more than 4000 years with mentions of them in the Tigris Valley in 2030 BC. Julius Caesar fed his troops  pickles believing they gave them more stamina and strength. Cleopatra believed in them for her famed beauty. Shakespeare may have been the first to use the word “pickle” as a noun or a metaphor.
