I watched a little muchkins face fall last holiday when she realized she was relegated to the childrens table. I make it the focal point of my own decorating, and suggest you do the same.
Pho (pronounced "phir" in English) is influenced by the Chinese and French cuisines, and was believed to have originally derived from a French soup, "pot au feu",(pot on fire)which Wikipedia defines as a French beef stew. This is usually a mixture of cuts of beef, vegetable, and spice.
The first country, where a system of cooking food in a so-called love style was developed, is considered to be India. Indian cooks were the first ones who noticed that a taste of sexual secretions depends on a taste of food. They paid a huge attention to scents, as, to their opinion, scent of food influenced body smell a lot, and the last, in its turn, stroke the keynote of love games.
In Ayurveda, people are classified according to three principles, vata, kapha, and pitta. But it's important to understand that although we may be dominant in one principle, we actually have all three present in our body. The others are in a smaller ration. Most people will actually be a combination of two of these principles, with the third only playing a minor role. But because we all contain the three, any of them can get out of balance.
Stay hydrated. This is so important. Try and have regular small drinks (tea, soup, cool drinks) as gulping down large volumes of water can also increase the feelings of nausea. If you have been vomiting consider sipping an isotonic sports drink as it will help to restore balance to your blood sugars, glucose and electrolytes. It is much better to have some fluid in your stomach if you are going to vomit.
Fresh ground spices are the order of the day in an Indian home and will be chosen according to the nature of the dish, season, individual and family. Some of the common Indian spices available are red chili pepper, turmeric, black pepper, nutmegs, cloves and many more.
Mint really tastes of Spring (not just because we serve mint sauce with Spring lamb!) and is great with fruit, although this mix doesnt immediately spring (pun intended!) to mind. Try it ground up with sugar and sprinkled over peaches or pineapple.
A teaspoonful of crushed fennel each day keeps the body healthy and helps increase energy and sexual prowess. Roman soldiers chewed fennel on long marches when they were unable to stop for food, considering it one of the finest foods for increasing strength and endurance, hence adding to its credibility as a long-standing powerful aphrodisiac. Add one teaspoonful of dried seeds to each cupful of boiling water and leave to stand in a teapot until properly brewed. Strain and leave to cool. Take as tea or juice about half an hour before making love.
You can find both aloe vera and emu oil at your regular health food store. When choosing aloe vera, pick one that is as pure as possible and that doesn't contain alcohol. You can actually use aloe vera as a daily moisturizer and then add in emu oil during flare ups. I've seen this routine work quite well for many of my rosacea patients.
