Recipe: Scone-Topped Mushroom & Chickpea Casserole
2008-01-23 00:18:00 My mum used to make this dumpling based/ scone based casserole when I was younger with beef. I looked forward to it everytime!

Health Focus: Being shy can put on weight
2008-01-15 02:31:00 Stop the presses! A new study has come out advising shy girls are more likely to put on weight. To simply advise that the problem is being shy seems to mean a lack of research.

Health Focus: The effects of alcohol with your fitness
2008-01-08 01:21:00 According to smh.com.au, going to the gym or exercising after a bender (on the same day or day after) is not such a good idea! Apparently, studies have shown that the body can’t produce enough “glucose the working muscles require.” Whilst not having the glucose means you burn more fat, the level of exercise isn’t “anywhere near your optimum capacity.” The study also shows that it could lead to an increase to muscle cramps and pains due to your increase of lactate amounts the alcohol creates. Exercising the day after a big one also isn’t good! As most of us have experienced, dehydration is the main factor. The study shows that you “will probably have lowish blood sugar levels, which means that your exercise capacity will be less. You will not sweat out much alcohol, if any.” Personally, I’ve always thought I’ve played my best games whilst having a hangover. The ability not to ‘think’ and ‘just do...
