GIGO, or Garbage In, Garbage Out, is a term that was devised way back in the early days of computing to remind us that if we put incorrect information into our machine, then we will get incorrect information back out. This may seem rather obvious, but you'd be surprised at the expectations some people have of computers. The man generally acknowledged as the inventor of the computer, Charles Babbage, was more than once asked of his new machine, if...more
Considering I will have given up my favorite thing for several weeks during Lent, my mind is completely focused on dessert - and chocolate. I think I consume more chocolate on Easter than any other holiday - and maybe all of them together! As much as I love cooking and making desserts, it's extremely difficult for me not to raid my kids' Easter baskets for the Bliss chocolates, Cadbury candy coated chocolate eggs, and, of course, Reese's eggs. I think they're even better than the typical Reese cup. Okay, since I started writing, I've convinced myself that it's going to be lamb this year. The Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday memories remind me that ham and beef tenderloin made the list. So, with friends John and Marsha's Roasted Spiced Leg of Lamb recipe in hand, that's the plan. The rest isn't as important as determining that chocolate dessert! Marsha and I used to joke about how appetizers and dessert would be perfect, and the rest between was just filling time and placating dinner guests. Well, I think I can make one variation on that theme for Easter. Everything between Easter baskets and dessert could be optional! Let me know what you're planning. And,...more

The alimentary canal is the digestive system which starts from the mouth, where food is ingested, and ends at the anus, where the waste is eliminated. There canal consists of six major components, namely the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines and the anus. The system is also known as gastrointestinal tract, and is divided broadly into two regions, the upper gastrointestinal tract and the lower gastrointestinal tract. The tract can measure about six meters in an adult human being.The upper tract consists of mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach and the uppermost part of the small intestine. The process of digestion starts at the mouth itself, where the saliva, teeth and tongue help start the process. The food then moves down into the pharynx and the esophagus. A series of muscular contraction in the esophagus, called peristalsis, forces the food into the stomach through the cardiac orifice, where the second stage of digestion starts.Gastric juices secreted by the stomach, which contains two ferments, namely, rennet & pepsin ferment and hydrochloric acid & salt speed up the digestive process. The gastric juice, which is an antiseptic too, neutralizes the effect of saliva...more
