  We lived in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., from 1979 to 1998, and our local Westchester County newspaper had what I considered to be an excellent food section. Reading this informative section each week was a joy. It certainly expanded my culinary horizons, and I really looked forward to it.
  I still have numerous articles I clipped and saved from this section of the paper. One in particular, a vegetarian column, titled "Garlic Is a Good Guy in Your Diet," was a keeper.
  According to the article on garlic, garlic-based medical remedies go back to at least 1500 B.C. It was used to cure headaches, dress battle wounds, and ward off evil spirits. The article goes on to say that modern research shows that garlic reduces levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and can be used to treat diabetes, pneumonia, anemia, arthritis and colitis. Wow!
  After reading about all the wonderful benefits of garlic in this vegetarian column, I just had to try one of the recipes. One, called "Roasted Vegetables with Garlic and Rosemary," peaked my interest. It sounded good, and boy is it ever!

  We live in a time where amazing advancements are all around us, whether it is in medicine, technology, science, sport, business...the list goes on.
  We regularly hear of new inventions, new break-throughs, records being broken and astronomical amounts of money being lost or gained. I am constantly amazed at how new electronic gadgets work, whether it be computers, cell phones, an MP3 player or even something in my car. I am amazed at the speed, strength and skill of certain athletes. I am amazed at the technical ability of many musicians.
  I am even amazed (well, sometimes) at the way some actors are very convincing as they portray their characters. However, there is a simple truth that amazes me more than any of these areas of human competence and expertise. There is one phrase that, whenever I hear it, stops me in my tracks and causes me to reconsider how much I really do understand.
  This truth is explained in three simple words that you may have heard 1,000 times, yet not really considered their significance.
