| Massage, now more than ever!
~Nora Brunner |
With the wild fluctuations in the stock market, financial sages keep giving the same advice: "Invest for the long term. Don't be alarmed by short-term losses." It's a good reminder that the best investments usually are ones that require foresight and patience. It's hard to keep in mind with all the scary headlines, but it's an enduring truth.
AN EXCELLENT VALUE
As you plan the family budget, ponder how massage therapy impacts your ability to make good decisions, cope with extra responsibilities, maintain harmonious relationships with coworkers, family and friends, and stay on an even keel emotionally and spiritually.
Research supports the value of massage. It has been shown to:
~Boost the immune system.
~Improve circulation, concentration, energy, self-esteem and sleep
~Reduce anxiety, fatigue, the flow of stress hormones, and the frequency of
headaches.
~Release endorphins.
You may be trimming some extras out of your budget, as many Americans are. When weighing what goes and what stays, consider what an excellent value massage is, especially in relation to things that may be less valuable, but still cost you plenty. The price of massage has remained stable in recent years, while the cost of movies, dining out, and sport events have risen. Which of these activities has the power to improve your health? Think about it. |

| Sesame Noodles and Asparagus
Every time I bring this to a gathering I am asked for the recipe. I've been making it for so long I can't remember where I got it. Enjoy!
Ingredients
2 TBLS sesame seeds 1 TBLS vegetable oil
2 TBLS oriental sesame oil 2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce 1 tsp minced fresh ginger
2 TBLS vegetable stock 1 lb asparagus, cut diagonally, into
2 TBLS Chinese rice wine or dry sherry 2 inch lengths
1/2 tsp chili oil 1/4 cup water
1 pound linguine or vermicelli 1 tsp tamari soy sauce
4 scallions, thinly sliced
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the noodles
- Toast the sesame seeds by placing them in a small skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally until the seeds begin to smoke and be become fragrant. Immediately pour them into a small bowl to cool.
- Combine the sesame oil, tamari, vegetable stock, wine, and chili oil in a measuring cup and set aside. This will be the sauce for the noodles.
- When the water is at a rolling boil, cook the noodles until tender yet chewy.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute. Add the asparagus and stir-fry 1 minute. Pour the water in and cover the pan. Cook until the asparagus pieces are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Drain the noodles and return them to the pot. Pour on the prepared sauce and toss with tongs to coat.
- Remove the cover from the asparagus. Pour on the teaspoon of tamari and the scallions and toss for 1 minute. Serve on noodles.
- Serves 3 - 4
