Infused Water Cures Kidney Stones: This might be my only post since I don't enter into the culinary conversation beyond "Ummm's" and "thank you's!" ordinarily. But I played tennis tonight and was drinking a lemon and lime infused water. The player I was playing asked me afterwards what was in my water. When I told him, he told me that his doctor had just prescribed lime pulp in his water to help with his kidney stones. So, the idea has moved from prevention into treatment... Who knew?!
Stuffed shells: I was speaking with someone this week about the unavailability of large pasta shells for stuffing in Doha. My suggestions were: 1) Use a muffin tin, cook and cut lasagna noodles and put them in the muffin tin, stuff the noodles, and fold the noodles in a bit, to resemble a shell; 2) Use manicotti noodles, stuff them, then use kitchen scissors to cut the top and push them next to each other in a casserole dish so they bake open but not flat. Just a few thoughts on creative cooking with Doha availability :) -Kat
