A&P: The Story of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company (Images of America Series) $10.64 In 1859, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, known everywhere as A&P, began as a mail-order business located at 31 Vesey Street in downtown Manhattan. In 1925, A&P operated more than thirteen thousand grocery stores nationwide, with more than forty thousand employees. By 1950, approximately ten cents out of every dollar spent on food in the United States passed over A&P counters. A&P: The Story of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company tells the story of how cofounder George Huntington Hartford and his sons John and George brought A&P to a popularity with consumers that few companies have ever achieved. This stunning collection of vintage photographs shows such nostalgic scenes as the elegant early stores, their gleaming window displays, and the red horse-drawn delivery wagons with the A&P logo emblazoned on their sides. Shoppers choose from rows of colorful merchandise and fresh produce; uniformed storekeepers make change from ornate registers; and the founder’s son tastes A&P’s Eight O’Clock coffee. A&P is still an industry leader, and A&P: The Story of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company shows why, from the Hartford family’s legacy to the generations of shoppers who depend on A&P for fair prices and quality food. This is the history of the supermarket where America grew up shopping.

Coffee Appliance Vendors: Melitta, Mr. Coffee, Senseo, Thermoplan Ag, Keurig, Bunn-O-Matic Corporation, Krups $9.16 Chapters: Melitta, Mr. Coffee, Senseo, Thermoplan Ag, Keurig, Bunn-O-Matic Corporation, Krups. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 32. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Mr. Coffee is an automatic-drip kitchen coffee machine that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s. Its advertising spokesman was former baseball player Joe DiMaggio. The device was invented by engineers Edward Able and Erwin Schulze. Introduced in 1972, Mr. Coffee was the first drip coffee maker made available for home use. Prior to the introduction of Mr. Coffee, most coffee prepared at home in America was made by a percolator, either on a stovetop or plugged directly into a wall socket. Percolators allowed brewed coffee to come into direct contact with heat, resulting in an inferior, burned beverage. In 1995, a variation was produced by the same company for tea called “Mrs. Tea”. The machine differed from Mr. Coffee only in detail as the drip process works equally well for tea as for coffee, although the result is often a darker, samovar type of tea. There have been several cultural references to the easily-parodied name. It has been parodied in the Back to the Future trilogy as Mr. Fusion (which was actually made for the movie from a Krups coffee maker), and in Spaceballs as Mr. Radar and Mr. Coffee itself. It was also mentioned in The Bloodhound Gang’s song “The Bad Touch”, in the full version of the Cheers theme song, the Marah song “Christian St.” and in the title of Raymond Carver’s short story “Mr. Coffee and Mr. Fixit.” A Mr. Coffee machine also appeared in a scene in the film Apollo 13. (However, a number of critics pointed out that this was technically inaccurate, since the film took place in 1970, and Mr. Coffee wouldn’t be introduced until 1972. In the Futurama movie, The Beast With A Billion Backs, one chara…More:

Coffee Talk: The Stimulating Story of the World’s Most Popular Brew $22 What is it about coffee that makes it so popular across so many different cultures? Can it be the caffeine or is there something else about coffee that makes it so alluring?No beverage has broader worldwide appeal. In North America and Europe, the annual amount of coffee consumed is overwhelming. And in China and even in India, the traditional stronghold of tea drinking, the coffee business has grown by leaps and bounds.In this entertaining yet comprehensive book, food expert Morton Satin describes how, in recent times, coffee has become the magnet that draws people together for spirited interchanges of information and ideas. In the intellectual capitals of the world, coffeehouses have been and continue to be the venues where the great minds flock to discuss the latest developments in the arts, sciences, and social philosophies.Satin, moreover, traces the rich and intriguing history of coffee, showing how coffee consumption evolved to fit the social and economic needs of different times. His fascinating narrative dispels common myths and conveys such little-known facts as: the dark coffee bean originated in Africa, not South America, as many believe.Today, of course, it is the indispensable wake-up beverage in most households throughout the West and the East. It is also the mainstay of the Starbucks phenomenon—a chain of coffeehouses whose popularity continues to soar. Satin even goes on to reveal the best techniques for home brewing. And he enlivens his narrative with stories of the fine art of the barista, which includes the World Barista Championship where rival barmen from around the globe display the highest artistry of coffee brewing.Lavishly illustrated, this delightful and informative book is the perfect complement for your next coffee break.

Cooking in America, 1590-1840 $18.35 There are no recipes for what the Indians ate in Colonial times, but this cookbook uses period quotations to detail what and how the foodstuffs were prepared. The bulk of the cookbook is devoted to what the European immigrants cooked and what evolved into American cooking. The first colonists from England brought their foodways to America. The basic foods that Americans of European descent ate changed very little from 1600 to 1840. While the major basic foods remained the same, their part in the total diet changed. Americans at the end of the period ate far more beef and chicken than did the first colonists. They used more milk, butter and cream. They also ate more wheat in the form of breads, cakes, cookies, crackers and cereals. The same was true with fruits. Over time the more exotic vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, artichokes, and numerous root vegetables including both sweet and white potatoes became common vegetables. By the end of this period, many Americans were even eating foods like tomatoes, okra, and sesame, which were unknown to their ancestors. In addition, Americans, like their relatives in Europe, incorporated coffee, tea, and chocolate into their diets as well as more sugar. Along with them came new customs, such as tea time, and, for men, socializing at coffeehouses. Also, distilled beverages, particularly rum, which was often made into a punch with citrus juices, were increasingly used.Basic cooking technology also remained the same throughout the period, and the cookbook gives a sense of how meals were prepared. The open hearth provided the major heat source. As time passed, though, more and more people could afford to have wood-fired brick ovens in their homes. Although the recipes presented here from the first century of colonization come from cookbooks written for people of upper status, by the end of the time period, literacy rates were much higher among men and women. European and American authors published numerous cookbooks

Eat And Grow Thin $6.99 Known as one of America’s first low-carb diet books, author Vance Thompson offers his strategy for “escaping the tragedy of growing fat.” What’s more.”The Mahdah menus tell you exactly what to eat just what food values should be banked every day. The menus are composed. Each luncheon is complete in itself. Each dinner provides exactly the nutriment needed and in exactly the right proportions. And breakfast? Oh, we of the slim-waisted gracilities breakfast on a cup of yellow tea or a cup of black coffee or a dish of fresh, ripe fruit.”Originally published in 1914 and long out-of-print, Eat and Grow Thin proves just how long low-carbohydrate eating plans have been around. Of course, contemporary dieters familiar with the current low-carb craze will find memorable advice here as well as a wealth of “slimming recipes” from the turn of the century. VANCE THOMPSON (1863-1925) was an American author and literary “Renaissance Man” of the early 20th century. His work covers a wide-range of genres including poetry, stage plays, miscellaneous manuscripts as well as sheet music.Capitalizing on popular tastes of the era, his earlier works include The Ego Book: A Book of Selfish Ideals (1914), Drink and Be Sober (1916), and Live and Be Young (1920). An extensive collection of his literary works and personal papers are stored in the Library for Rare Books and Special Collections at Princeton University.

Every Home a Distillery: Alcohol, Gender, and Technology in the Colonial Chesapeake $38.72 In this original examination of alcohol production in early America, Sarah Hand Meacham uncovers the crucial role women played in cidering and distilling in the colonial Chesapeake. Her fascinating story is one defined by gender, class, technology, and changing patterns of production. Alcohol was essential to colonial life; the region’s water was foul, milk was generally unavailable, and tea and coffee were far too expensive for all but the very wealthy. Colonists used alcohol to drink, in cooking, as a cleaning agent, in beauty products, and as medicine. Meacham finds that the distillation and brewing of alcohol for these purposes traditionally fell to women. Advice and recipes in such guidebooks as The Accomplisht Ladys Delight demonstrate that women were the main producers of alcohol until the middle of the 18th century. Men, mostly small planters, then supplanted women, using new and cheaper technologies to make the region’s cider, ale, and whiskey. Meacham compares alcohol production in the Chesapeake with that in New England, the middle colonies, and Europe, finding the Chesapeake to be far more isolated than even the other American colonies. She explains how home brewers used new technologies, such as small alembic stills and inexpensive cider pressing machines, in their alcoholic enterprises. She links the importation of coffee and tea in America to the temperance movement, showing how the wealthy became concerned with alcohol consumption only after they found something less inebriating to drink. Taking a few pages from contemporary guidebooks, Every Home a Distillery includes samples of historic recipes and instructions on how to make alcoholic beverages. American historians will find this study both enlightening and surprising.

The Dandy Warhols – The Coffee And Tea Wrecks

Getting Tea Myths Straight

Any foodstuff or product that is as globally popular as tea is bound to engender stories bearing various degrees of truth and legend, and tea, as the world’s most widely consumed drink for hundreds of years, is no exception.  Some rather entertaining stories concern the origin of the practice of drinking tea, and many others pontificate on the wonderful and, sometimes, borderline supernatural health benefits of tea drinking (to say nothing of superstitions about reading the future from used leaves!).  Tea is, in fact, a natural diuretic and contains beneficial antioxidants, but there are a great many common misconceptions and exaggerations about tea as well.

The first myth of note is that all tea is from China and India.  This is not true; although those two nations produce and export the majority of the world’s tea, it also flourishes in Japan and other Asian countries as well as many places in South America and the United States.

There is widespread confusion, and, therefore, a great deal of misunderstanding, about the different types of teas: white, green, and black.  One often hears that these teas are from different kinds of tea plant; however, all true tea comes from the shrub-like Camilla sinensis, and the varieties arise in the method of processing and manufacture.  White and green teas are generally steamed, while black teas are roasted and undergo oxidation, which provides them with their color and flavor.  The popular hot beverages known collectively as herbal “teas” are not properly tea at all; they are made from a vast variety of plants, fruit, herbs, flowers, and spices, and are known generally as infusions, tinctures, or (from the French) tisanes.

Many partially correct views are spouted concerning the caffeine content of tea, especially as compared to coffee.  Actually, depending on the variety of tea, water temperature, and brewing time, tea can have more, less, or as much caffeine as the same quantity of coffee.  As a rule of thumb, though, a cup of tea has about half as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.  It is also often asserted that green and white teas have little or no caffeine, and this is likewise an old wives’ tale.

It was once thought that tea drinking led to iron deficiencies.  This isn’t true, but the naturally occurring diuretic quality of tea can compound the problem in people who already have problems absorbing iron.  Persons with this condition should not drink tea except as a complement to food in order to avoid this problem.

It is true that tea is a great source of natural antioxidants.  These chemicals help regulate the immune system and promote the body’s ability to rid itself of toxins.  However, tea is not a curative, and should not be a replacement for the fruits and vegetables that provide most of the antioxidants in our diets.  The consumption of tea can provide a small supplement to healthy eating, not an alternative to it.

Some of the myths about tea briefly outlined above hold some truth, and tea can be a great part of a healthy lifestyle.  Like anything, however, if consumed in extreme quantities tea can have adverse effects.  Remember, though, that tea (without sugar or sweeteners) has no calories and can provide a delicious and positive supplement to both meals and everyday living.

To brew the best quality loose leaf tea, you’ll need teaware like cast iron teapots, kyusu teapots, or Yixing teapots.

Why are libs hiding behind the “Coffee party” name? why not just call it ….?

Look at the lame names Liberals came up with for Obama’s endless spending programs – a joke to be sure.

The Story Behind the Invention of Tea

Tea is a renowned drink, enjoyed hot and cold by people across the world. Just like the teapot, the story behind the invention of tea has a long history. Here we list the main points about the invention of tea and discuss how it became so widely appreciated all over the world.

A Chinese invention

Tea is the most widely consumed drink in the world apart from water. It is hard to imagine, but all tea originated from China. It has only been within the last 150 years that tea has been cultivated outside of China.

During the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-97) tea was distributed throughout China in many different ways. As dried leaves, pressed cakes and powders. From China tea consumption spread to Japan, Java as well as India and Sri Lanka. Europe did not begin importing tea until the early 17th century.

It is suggested that Chinese Tea was cultivated for medical purposes as far back as the 12th century B.C.

The famous story of the emperor who discovered tea

There is a story about the emperor who is said to have invented tea. It is estimated that in 2737 B.C. the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung was boiling water outside when a leaf from a bush fell into the water. Before pulling them out of the water he began to smell the aroma of the leaves brewing. He tasted it, enjoyed its flavour and tea was born.

The introduction of tea across the globe

It was Portuguese and Dutch traders that first bought tea to Europe with consistent shipments by 1610. Although well-known as a country of avid tea-drinkers, England was relatively late to the tea trade. The first samples of tea arrived in England between 1652 and 1654 and initially the drink was seen as more of a medicine for ailments.

Coffee houses in London soon adopted selling tea and by 1700 over 500 of them were selling it both freshly brewed and the tea leaves as well. By 1750 tea had become the favourite drink for many across England. Thus began the huge trend for elaborate teapots and afternoon and morning tea events.

America were a few years ahead of England, being introduced to tea a few years earlier by colonist, Peter Stuyvesant.

The health benefits of drinking tea

There is no denying the health benefits of drinking tea. Tea contains a high level of antioxidants such as polyphenols, flavanoids and catechins which help the body fight against disease.

Tea also contains fluoride which is good for your teeth and helps to fight bacteria, controls the formation of plaque and fights bad breath.

There is no doubt that tea can help lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure and help your mind and body relax.

Some teas have different health benefits to others. Some are higher in antioxidants and aid different things.

Much research has been done into the argument of whether or not tea helps fight cancer, alzheimer’s and other diseases.

Tea is a great drink not only for it’s health benefits, but also a delicious warm drink to be brewed and served for when you have guests or simply if you feel like a nice soothing drink to help you unwind.

Drink Green Tea To Keep That Belly In Line – Best Kept Secrets To Healthy Aging

As green tea intake increases, the degree of body fat in men and women, whether expressed as percent body fat or the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference, decreases. Green tea aids to the maintenance of healthy body weight in many ways.

One of the least appreciated properties of green tea is its ability to limit the absorption of the fat taken in from the diet. Green tea catechins (especially EGCG) interfere with the lipase (fat-digesting) enzymes in the stomach and small intestine. The resulting incomplete digestion of fats produces some lipid droplets that are not able to enter intestinal cells and that therefore remain unabsorbed. These effects have produced significant decreases in the absorption of dietary fats by rats consuming green tea. While it is not known how effective green tea is in blocking fat absorption in humans, any interference with the normally highly efficient digestion and absorption of dietary fats could figure prominently in any effort to manage weight effectively.

In addition to decreasing the efficiency of absorption of fatty acids from the diet, green tea catechins interfere with the production of fat for storage in adipose tissue depots. Green tea leaf extract rich in EGCG, as well as purified EGCG itself, reduces the activity of fatty acid synthase, the enzyme that controls how rapidly the body produces fat for storage. This effect is consistent with a body of literature reviewed recently in the journal Molecular Nutrition and Food Research that shows how EGCG inhibits new fat formation (“lipogenesis”) and fat storage within adipocytes. Tea helps to absorb less fat from the diet and can directly interfere with the storage of fat in adipocytes, a dual mechanism for supporting healthy body weight.

The dominant green tea catechin, EGCG, also entices the body to shift some of its manner of producing energy from glucoseburning to fat-burning. There are two ways to accomplish this and EGCG seems to do both. First, if the amount of glucose available to tissues, especially the skeletal muscles, is reduced, then more fat must be metabolized to carbon dioxide and water in order to satisfy energy needs. During times when glucose is in short supply, the liver synthesizes glucose from a variety of precursors, including amino acids released by muscle cells. The first enzyme in this synthetic (“gluconeogenic”) pathway, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), is inhibited by EGCG. Blocking this enzyme reduces the rate of formation of new glucose, requiring cells to switch to burning fat for energy.

In one example of interesting biochemical coordination, EGCG stimulates the conversion of fatty acids to energy. According to cell culture studies, EGCG, rather than glucose, is able to raise the rate of utilization of fatty acid breakdown products in order to produce energy. Since mice are often studied because they obtain energy similarly to the way humans do, they were used in a series of experiments. In these experiments, they responded to the addition of catechin-rich green tea extract to a high-fat diet but not fed catechins, even though they ate just as much. In a recent study of dietary supplementation, mice exercised with tea catechins forced skeletal muscles to move from using their glycogen reserves as sources of enery to increase their dependency on burning fats from adipose depots. Being that this move is very reproducible, the researchers are able to predict when it will happen. Phytonutrients – catechins – in green tea and green tea extract are so powerful, that they are able to recruit muscles to help stored fat get used up faster!

A shift from glucose-burning to fat-burning would be seen as an increase in heat production, or thermogenesis, in humans. In one example of the fat-burning, thermogenic effects of green tea catechins, 24 hour heat production was calculated in slender healthy to overweight young men during times at which they were in a state of rest and consumed identical diets; they did not consume caffeine-containing foods or beverages, but they did intake either a placebo, 150 mg of caffeine alone or 150 mg of caffeine plus 270 mg of EGCG and 105 mg of other mixed catechins. Researchers observed that the intake of placebo or 150 mg of supplemental caffeine during a 12 hour period did not affect the utilization of glucose or fat in order to supply energy. However, the consumption of green tea catechins during a 12 hour period increased total energy expenditure and heat production in the same-day 24 hour period. It was found that increased fat-burning and decreased use of glucose for fuel caused this energy usage.

Because under the conditions of this experiment all energy expenditure was essentially “resting” energy expenditure, the catechin-induced increase in resting energy expenditure reflects enhanced thermogenesis. That is, more heat production as a “byproduct” of energy production. Since increased heat production to satisfy the same energy demand means that the efficiency of energy production decreased, more stored energy needed to be “burned” – accelerating the rate at which energy stored in fat depots would become depleted. Of course, as stored fat becomes depleted, both body weight and fat depot size decrease. The increase in fat utilization in this experiment, which was minimized by keeping the subjects in a “resting” state, could result in the loss of one pound of excess body weight in 1 to 2 months and a loss of 6 to 12 pounds in a year. Consistent with this rough prediction, overweight adults consuming 270 mg of EGCG daily for 3 months experienced an average loss of 4.6% of total body weight, with an average decrease in waist circumference of 4.5%. This thermogenic effect of green tea catechins, when combined with a healthy diet and exercise, could be extremely beneficial for those looking to support weight management efforts.

Beneficial results also were obtained in a “gold standard,” randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial, published recently in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In this study healthy men supplemented their diets with either 22 mg or 690 mg of total catechins daily for 12 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the men who were consuming 690 mg of total catechins daily had lost more weight, more inches off their waist, more total body fat and more abdominal fat.

What about Stress and Abdominal Fat?

A growing body of evidence indicates that in both men and women, stress and mood issues are associated with increased abdominal fat storage and a larger waistline. How is stress and belly fat connected? Stress can increase the secretion of a hormone called cortisol. This hormone increases the rate of fat accumulation by abdominal fat cells. Even among healthy individuals, repeated episodes of stress-related cortisol secretion is implicated in increased abdominal fat.

What Can Green Tea Do About It?

Green tea contains an unusual amino acid called L-theanine, which comprises up to 2.5% of the total dry weight of unfermented green tea leaves. This amino acid is absorbed efficiently and is able to enter the brain from the bloodstream. While in the brain, L-theanine releases relaxing physiologic effects. In this process, L-theanine may act to reduce stress perceptions, which in turn could have beneficial effects on abdominal fat formation. In one example, mice that were fed L-theanine accumulated less abdominal fat formation, and gained less weight. Green tea and green tea extracts that contain L-theanine can add to the support of healthy weight maintenance by supporting the body’s stress response.
