Bug season has returned, and from the picnic blanket to the dinner table these little critters pop up to bite and annoy us human beings. No matter how “natural” you consider your lifestyle to be, you probably don’t want bugs crawling through your house and over your skin. Although the best natural bug repellent is prevention (keeping your house clean with all food sources sealed away), even the tidiest among us can get attacked by buzzing, biting insects.

Crossword head

My great-aunt Marlene lived to see 96, but she wasn't really present for the final five years. She didn't remember my sister, my father or me when we went to visit her at her nursing home in the Bronx -- although she was always thrilled to see us, she would take several guesses at our names before we finally revealed our true identities, and meaningful conversation was nearly impossible. It must have been difficult for Marlene to live in such a cloudy world, and I hope not to suffer the same fate. Some cognitive decline may be inevitable in old age, but there are also numerous tactics to keep your mind sharp and have a healthy brain for life -- and you bet I'm using them.

Each year, America invests nearly $1 billion on non-prescriptive digestive remedies. From fizzy drinks and tablets to syrups and powders, antacids are often just as necessary in the pantry as salt and pepper. The amount of money spent on digestion problems shows that we’ve come to accept it as a part of daily life. It doesn’t--and shouldn’t--have to be this way. Food combining is an underrated, albeit extremely effective, part of the puzzle to solve our digestive woes.

Southern Chow-Chow Green Tomato Relish Recipe
Sauces, Condiments, Dressings
Written by Kristi Arnold   

green tomato relish

Chow-chow--a pickled mix of green tomatoes, onions, cabbage and cucumbers also known as piccalilli--is a beloved traditional Southern United States relish. If you have tomatoes aplenty cropping up in your garden, give this recipe a whirl.

Chow-chow relish recipes vary widely from family to family. There is even a Pennsylvania version that's much sweeter than the tart Southern classic. This version is adapted from a cookbook passed down from my grandmother, Housekeeping in Old Virginia. While you can eat Chow-Chow on its own, the relish is usually eaten atop biscuits, burgers, hot dogs or even crab cakes.
