There’s also a lot of positive “word of mouth” swirling around regarding CBD’s effectiveness for many age-related conditions like arthritis.Although the CBD business is booming in the senior care sector, does that mean this supplement is safe for grandpa and grandma? Are there any potential issues senior citizens should consider before trying a CBD product?Is CBD Oil Safe For Senior Patients?As long as CBD products meet high-quality standards for purity, they should be safe for most healthy senior citizens.

Cheap TrickCheap Trick (Epic)Cheap Tricks for Bellrays: Bob Vennum of rock & soulers the Bellrays told us about his love for Cheap Trick’s classic debut.Bob Vennum: I remember hearing Cheap Trick for the first time at a friend’s house. She played Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and then In Color. Despite immediately wanting to go home and grab my guitar and figure out the cool chord progression to “I Want You to Want Me”, I remember thinking how wimpy it sounded next to “American Girl” or “Breakdown”. My immediate reaction was that it sounded like one of the local bands around that had put out their own record. (Epic)The next year they put out Live at Budakon and then I got it. I don’t think I put my guitar down for a month! It hit me so hard that this article could’ve easily been all about that record. By the mid ’90s I had been doing original music in local bands for almost 10 years.

TasteFood: Add a little bling to grilled eggplant

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:57:58 GMT

Eggplant on the grill is a summer favorite. A brush of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and the fire of the grill are all that’s needed to transform firm, spongy eggplant wedges and planks into crispy-squidgy versions of themselves. But why stop there?Take it up a notch with a recipe inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi, the Israel-born British chef and cookbook author. In his recipe, he roasts wedges of eggplant doused in a chermoula-infused oil heady with North African spice, and then tops it with an herby bulgur salad and creamy yogurt for a beautiful and substantial vegetarian dish.The recipe below is a lighter, simplified adaptation. It focuses exclusively on the eggplant and garnishes it with an herbaceous gremolata studded with bits of preserved lemon. It’s bright and fresh, a lovely side dish that can be served warm or at room temperature.Ideally, choose long, narrow eggplants and cut them into narrow wedges. Alternatively, cut thick slices lengthwise from globe eggplants. ...
