May 9th 2012 23:59

Australian Hemp Seed vegetarian food marijuana

Mix together equal parts of; Savoury yeast, Hemp seed flour and Hemp seed oil. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge. You can spread it raw on just about anything.

Savoury yeast flakes have been specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of vegetarians, vegans and anyone interested in a rich source of B vitamins, including B 12.

The two main proteins in Hemp seed are edestin and albumin. Both of these high quality storage proteins are easily digested and contain nutritionally significant amounts of all essential amino acids. In addition, Hemp seed has very high levels of the amino acid arginine.

Hemp seed oil is over 80% in polyunsaturated fatty acids an is an exceptionally rich source of the two essential fatty acids linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3).

Hemp Seed As A Human Food – Dr Andrew Katelaris

May 9th 2012 23:29

Hemp is one of humanity’s oldest cultivated plants, with evidence of use reaching back into prehistory. In the older non-Christian religions Hemp and its products were venerated as unique gifts provided for human use.

The Hemp seed is one of the most nutritionally complete foods available. Next to flax it has the highest concentration of the essential fatty acid omega 3 and unlike flax it contains a perfect ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids

giant marijuana joint Nimbin Mardi Grass

Once a year the sleepy northern New South Wales town of Nimbin’s population blooms for the world famous Nimbin Mardi Grass Rally. The political rally held on the first weekend in May aims to promote an end to marijuana prohibition in Australia. It also coincides with annual marijuana harvesting and is a chance for locals and visitors alike to have some harmless fun, parading down the street with a giant joint.

Authentic Anzac Biscuits Recipe From The Horses Mouth

April 23rd 2012 12:44

Original Anzac Biscuit Recipe From Gallipoli

Anzac Biscuits originated in The Great War of 1914-1918 (WWI). Some sources maintain that they were invented by women on the home front to withstand a long sea voyage. However my research indicates they were also made by the ANZACs themselves using oats from the horse grooms and the other ingredients from the Quartermasters store. Both my maternal Great Grandfathers fought at Gallipoli and the Western Front, and my Nan used to make Anzac Biscuits according to the following recipe.
It is very similar to the recipe by ANZAC veteran Bob Lawson on the Australian War Memorial website. A recipe for 'Anzac Crispies', without coconut, appears in the Presbyterian Women’s Missionary Union Cookery Book, which was first published in 1904 and revised in 1973.
As the term ANZAC was not coined until the formation of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp in 1914, the name 'ANZAC Crispies' in the PWMU Cookery Book must be a revision. These recipes are probably all based on the ancient Scottish recipe for oat cakes, as Scots and descendants of Scots served in the A.N.Z.A.C

Hot Cross Buns Cholesterol Free Recipe

April 6th 2012 01:55

The following recipe with step by step pics explains how to make cholesterol free Hot Cross Buns at home, but why do we only eat them at Easter? In the 16th century, the newly Protestant monarchs of England banned them as a symbol of Catholicism. Following public outcry, Queen Elizabeth the 1st permitted them, but only at Easter and Christmas. Strangely, we still adhere to that obsolete law 400 years later.

Fresh footage of cattle slaughter at two Indonesian abattoirs, obtained by ABC TV’s Lateline program, shows serious and systematic breaches of the government’s new Export Supply Chain Assurance System, said Greens MP and animal welfare spokesperson Lee Rhiannon.

“Agriculture Minister Senator Joe Ludwig must immediately confirm whether Australian cattle are going through the Temur Petir and Cakung abattoirs in Jakarta and, if so, commit to applying the strongest sanctions to minimise the suffering and distress revealed last night”, Senator Rhiannon said
