It’s totally delicious to look at. Kids look on in amazement as they watch in awe the whole process of candy being made right in front of them. In circuses, carnivals, and other places, the Cotton Candy Machine is always an attraction. Cotton Candy is simply made from spun sugar, wherein the finished product is mostly very thin string-like threads of melted sugar and air. Yes, air; because the whole Cotton Candy process produces a cobweb of sugar wound together; and in between the strings of sugar threads are gaps, making the candy look bigger than it really is.

Cotton Candy first became a hit in Italy around the 15th century. People used to make the candy in a pan by melting the sugar. Sometimes they used a fork to create sugar-strings over an over-turned bowl. Other times they used another tool for making the strings. The sugar usually dries instantly and can be reshaped into however the maker wanted it to look. Over time, and well into the 19th century, other designs of Cotton Candy Machines surfaced, making it possible to create multiple candy designs such as Easter-Egg Coatings or pure Easter-Egg Sugar candies. During these times, other methods and techniques were implemented and it allowed for the candies to have differing color designs, giving it a tasty and pleasant attraction to it. However, the whole process of making the Cotton Candy was usually too time-consuming and costly. It was therefore relegated to occasional parties, for desserts or for some other special occasion. It was very rare for the commoner to taste these Cotton Candies, and it was usually the rich who could afford to partake of them.

Some time around the turn of the 19th century, two candy makers, named John Wharton and William Morrison, decided to create a machine that would make the Cotton Candy less expensive. In 1897, they devised a machine that used a motor’s centrifugal force to strip the sugar into threads by using a screen. It was the first electric Cotton Candy Machine of its kind. They were successful, and with that, they created the first form of Cotton Candy that we all know today.

The early machines that were used to make these Cotton Candies were somewhat prone to near-exhaustive upkeep due to its constant undependable machine-work. They were either too noisy or just simply broke down right in front of customers. This continued well into the 1950’s until a company, Gold Metal Products, released a radical Cotton Candy Maker that ultimately rendered a lot of machines obsolete. It was because of this revolutionary machine that it became possible for cheap Cotton Candy and to significantly increase in production. Over time, other companies capitalized on this innovation and created automatic machines that made it possible for mass-production of the product. This was around the 70’s, and the purchase of Cotton Candy evolved and was no longer exclusive to carnivals, fairs, or amusement parks. It allowed for the candy to be bought in department stores and in malls.

It has certainly come a long way, and there doesn’t seem to be any sign that this trend would be forced out of the picture. As long as there are children all over the world that totally enjoy seeing the process and prospect of eating a candy while it’s being made right in front of them, the Cotton Candy will survive well into the far future.

Ganoderma comes from the Reishi Mushroom and is found in the mountains of Asia. It has been used in China over the last 4000 years because of its medicinal properties to restore health and well-being. It has been hailed as the mushroom of immortality and the miraculous “King of Herbs”. Because of this it is the most popular medicinal mushroom in China, Japan and now the United States and it has been used in oriental medicine for more than 2000 years.

Ganoderma improves overall health and longevity and actually assists the function of the body’s organs. As we get older, the human immune system becomes less efficient which makes us susceptible to diseases and infections. Extracts of the Reishi have shown the ability to enhance the immune systems response in some cancer patients who are in the advanced stages while the antioxidant effects of Ganoderma help alleviate and in some cases reverse some age-related changes to the body.

What has been determined by the numerous scientific studies of Ganoderma lucidum is that the most important of its more than 200 active elements helps to reduce cholesterol, regulate metabolism, improve blood circulation, strengthen the body’s natural healing ability, boost the immune system, increase vigor and vitality, remove toxic deposits and improve overall health. Through scientific research Ganoderma has been shown to be effective as an anti-cancer agent. Studies have also shown that it aids in offering protection to the liver, in boosting the memory and intellectual capacity of Alzheimer’s patients and in the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases.

The benefits of Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi mushroom) are quite extensive. I invite you do some further internet studies yourself while enjoying a cup of our HEALTHY COFFEE!

Catnip (Nepeta cataria, also known as Catnep, Catmint, and Field Balm) is best known for its mysterious effect on cats, from the lowly barn cat to the mighty mountain lion. It’s also a useful herb for humans. One of catnip’s effects is to induce perspiration without raising body temperature. If you have a fever, catnip can help break it. If you have trouble sleeping, tricking your body into thinking it’s warmer might help. On a hot summer’s day, a little catnip tea can cool you off.

Catnip has been used in the kitchen and in traditional herbal medicine for more than 2,000 years. Catnip tea was a favorite of the British before trade with the East brought great quantities of green tea and black tea to the island. It’s a native of the Mediterranean and Northern Africa, but catnip escapes its captors everywhere and grows wild under even the harshest conditions. Once catnip arrived on the shores of North America, Native Americans used it to treat colds, sore throats, fever, cough, and colic.

Catnip is most commonly used as a digestive aid because it relieves stomach cramps, intestinal spasms, bloating and gas. It’s even said in the old herbals that catnip will dispel nervous headaches. Drinking a nice, warm cup of tea containing catnip after eating a good meal will settle your stomach so you can relax and enjoy. A touch of lemon and honey make catnip tea heavenly.

About the only culinary use of catnip is candied catnip as an after-dinner treat. Sprinkle sugar on catnip leaves coated with egg white and lemon juice glaze, let dry for a day, then consume. An interesting little treat the next time your in-laws come over for dinner.

Catnip is not recommended in large quantities for pregnant women; take it as part of an infusion blend. Weak catnip tea is mild enough for babies who are eating solid food, but be double sure it’s organic and free of pesticides. When combined with Spearmint, Lemongrass, Calendula flowers, Skullcap, Rosemary, Sage, and Fennel, Catnip makes a really lovely tea, and the effects of all these herbs used together enhances all.

As if its digestive settling properties weren’t enough, catnip is also said to repel cockroaches, cure dandruff, and rid humans of worms. Folks say planting it around your house will bring you love and good luck–it will certainly bring you cats!
