An Apple Pie That Lasts for Days

How to make a super-size apple pie that will survive more than one sitting.

I have not attempted an apple pie.  I tell myself it is the sugar.  It is not.  Fifty years of watching mother turn out pies every every few weeks have left a scar.

A paech pie was assigned as a prject in freshman year.
Mine was good enough to bring an accusation of cheating by purchase.

New Study Casts Doubt on Diagnosis of Adult-Onset A.D.H.D.

Adults said to develop symptoms of A.D.H.D. may instead have substance abuse or mood problems, researchers concluded.

It is not A.D.H.D. that is in doubt but the adult onset of the disorder.  Symtoms can be masked by other circumstances.

Mental exhaustion and physical exhaustion must be different systems.  If one becomes mentally exhausted before one is physically exhausted attention deficit hyper activity ensues.

Does Eating Right Protect You From Air Pollution?

Research suggests that a Mediterranean-like diet may safeguard the body.

Do the homework.


"Should we all drink broccoli-sprout juice? The study’s senior author, Thomas Kensler, a professor of pharmacology and chemical biology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, doesn’t recommend it. Too much remains unknown, he says. Sulforaphane isn’t the only beneficial plant chemical of this sort out there; plants produce hundreds of such substances. He recommends you “eat a good diet,” which includes lots of raw or lightly cooked cruciferous vegetables, and fruits and vegetables in general.

We can’t be certain it will help with pollution, but it most likely won’t hurt."

Microaggressions at the Market

And: a daughter’s new boyfriend has medical bills he can’t pay; a dear friend has become one-sided in conversation; and a troubling excess of figs.

Practical advice.
