Scientists discover lung cancer's 'bodyguard system'—and how to disarm it (Kaempferol)

"The researchers also tested kaempferol, a natural compound found in vegetables like kale and broccoli. In laboratory models with drug-resistant human lung tumors, daily treatment with kaempferol significantly shrank tumors over 24 days. Crucially, the treatment targeted only the cancer cells carrying EGFR mutations while having no detectable effect on tumors with normal EGFR. "

I’m getting ready to head to town and get some groceries. Three more days off and frigid temps. Might as well make some food and learn a dish or two. Thighs for <2 bucks are cheap enough to experiment on and you can’t really kill them. Not the meat at least. Getting sick of air fryer chicken.

On that note, I had a chicken dish once that was really good. A buddy’s girlfriend cooked it at my place when they came to visit one time. She was hispanic from either Ctrl or South America. The dish had no tomato but did have veggies of some sort, onions I’m sure. This was 30 years ago.

It was braised I think, saucy, savory and for the life of me, I can’t remember the name of it. I know I looked it up once upon a time and it’s not an uncommon dish.

Anyone got a clue what it might have been?

Kale-a-Paloosa! I just ordered seed for 'Prizm' Kale. I haven't grown that out in a few years, just been buying the garden-hogging variety at the Walmart Garden Center.

We are going lean and mean in the garden beds this year!

Dreaming of growing the popular superfood kale but think you don’t have room? Look no further than our newest 2016 AAS Winner Kale Prizm F1. When grown, Prizm produces attractive short, tight ruffle-edged leaves that are content to be grown in containers as well as in-ground beds. Their easy-to-maintain, almost stemless stalks are quick to re-leaf so harvest early and often for a continual supply throughout the season. The excellent tasting, almost nutty-flavored leaves are tender enough to enjoy in fresh salads but also hold up well when cooked. Prizm is a foodie gardener’s dream come true!
