By the 1300's dried pasta was very popular for
its nutrition and long shelf life, making it ideal for long ship voyages. Pasta
made it around the globe during the voyages of discovery a century later. By
that time different shapes of pasta have appeared and new technology made pasta

Worcestershire
sauce has roots in India, but was actually created by accident in its namesake
town of Worcester, England in 1835. Lord Marcus Sandy had returned home to

Chicken Stir Fry
For common mushrooms,
choose those with a firm texture and even color with tightly closed caps. If
the gills are showing, it's an indication of age, and they are probably past
their prime, and should be avoided. Discolored, broken, wrinkle and damaged
mushrooms with soft spots should be avoided.

Sauteed Shrimp
Fresh shrimp should have firm bodies
that are still attached to their shells. They should be free of black spots on
their shell since this indicates that the flesh has begun to break down. In
addition, the shells should not appear yellow or gritty as this may be
indicative that sodium bisulfate or another chemical has been used to bleach
the shells.
