Asia

If Africa is the cradle of civilization, then Asia must be considered the birthplace of the agricultural products that would eventually feed the world. It is believed that systematic agriculture was born during the 10th millennium BC in Southwest Asia. During that time, people in Syria and Iraq domesticated the eight so-called “founder crops” (flax, three cereal grains, and four pulses, including lentils and chickpeas). Among the world’s first domesticated crops, these advancements formed the foundation of systematic agriculture that was adopted throughout Asia, North Africa, and eventually, Europe. Rice cultivation began in Asia’s Far East as early as 10,000 BC. Today, rice provides about one-fifth of all calories consumed by humans, with most of the world’s supply still grown in Asia.

Creamy Hot Cocoa

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by ss
The first time I made this hot chocolate, I totally forgot to add vanilla extract and I also simply run out of half-and-half cream, but still it turned out to be the best home-made hot chocolate ever.

Pot Roast in Beer

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by JOSEPHINE
Only modification I did was using a dash of ground cloves (my husband isn't a big fan) and adding mushroom from a can. I used Guinness and the roast tasted way too strong. I'll have to try this again with a lighter beer.
