4
Ingredients
2 heads garlic
4 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced vertically
3 carrots, peeled
2 stalks celery, diced
3 lbs veal shanks (about 4 shanks)
1¼ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh oregano
1 cup veal or beef broth (low sodium)
1 cup dry red wine (like a a cabernet sauvignon)
2 Tbsp tomato paste
How to make it
Preheat the oven to 300°. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Break apart the garlic cloves, and add them to the boiling water and cook for 1-2 minutes. Drain the garlic, and peel the cloves, discarding the skins. Set the garlic aside. Tie the herbs in a tight bundle using kitchen string and set aside. Pat the veal dry, and sprinkle both sides with 1 tsp salt and the pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Carefully add the veal, and brown for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning with a pair of kitchen tongs. Transfer the veal to a large plate or platter. Add another Tbsp of olive oil to the Dutch oven and sauté the carrots, celery, and onion for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Transfer the vegetables to a small bowl. If the pan is dry, add a little more olive oil to it and add the garlic. Cook the garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until it starts to take on some color. Transfer the garlic to the bowl of vegetables. Add the mushrooms to the pan, and sprinkle with a 1/4 tsp kosher salt. Stir the mushrooms, and fit the lid on tightly. Cook mushrooms for 1-2 minutes until they give up their liquid and begin to brown. Transfer the mushrooms to the vegetable bowl. Add the wine to the pot and bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and continue stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen the fond. Simmer for one minute, then add the broth and tomato paste, stirring until the tomato paste is evenly incorporated into the sauce. Add the vegetables and the herbs to the pot. Transfer the veal shanks to the pot, arranging them snugly into the broth with the vegetables. Add any accumulated juices from the plate. Cover, and bring just to the boiling point, then transfer the covered pot to the oven and braise for 2 hours or until the shanks are tender.

Eating at different times can help reset your body’s natural clocks
http://ift.tt/2yT0Zcm Flying across time zones (usually eastward, or "against the clock") can mess up your internal biological clock system. There's nothing like a case of jet lag to put busy fliers down with cases of fatigue, insomnia, and irritability. Why the nasty side effects? Blame screwed-up circadian rhythms, or 24-hour cycles in the body’s systems. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to combat jet lag: wearing sunglasses, staying hydrated, strategic napping. Now we can add another one to the list. Meal timing can help reset the body's internal clocks, according to a new study published in the journal Cell Reports. Researchers started with the assumption that the body's internal clock system is interconnected with metabolism. They set up 10 young men in a lab for 13 days, and fed them three identical meals once every five hours, starting about 30 minutes after the guys woke up. After about seven days, they then switched the guys to a later meal schedule, albeit still with meals set five hours apart. [RELATED1] The researchers found that the schedule change didn’t affect the guys' appetite, sleep habits, or the brain’s "master clock" function—but it did considerably change blood-sugar levels. "We anticipated seeing some delays in rhythms after the late meals, but the size of the change in blood sugar rhythms was surprising," said Jonathan Johnston, Ph.D., of the University of Surrey. "It was also surprising that other metabolic rhythms, including blood insulin and triglyceride, did not change." The study showed that a five-hour delay in meal times triggered a five-hour delay in the internal blood sugar rhythms. Researchers think the change is driven by the body's peripheral metabolic clocks, not the "main clock" in the brain. A "clock function" gene also slowed down in fat tissue by about an hour, adding more evidence that meal times can affect our molecular clocks. Future research could help scientists figure out how to strategically use meal times to help people with circadian disorders or keep frequent fliers from suffering the effects of jet lag.

Turkey bolognese with zucchini noodles
http://ift.tt/2zJPumY Instead of pasta, this dish uses lower-carb zucchini noodles. For more noodle alternatives, you can use spiralized carrots or cucumbers, or bean or quinoa noodles.

6
Ingredients
2-4 Tbsp olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup white onion, diced
1½ lb 99% lean ground turkey
1 can (28-oz) crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
2-3 large zucchinis, spiralized
Grated or shaved parmesan cheese for topping
How to make it
To prepare the turkey bolognese (meat sauce), begin by heating 1-2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onions, and cook for about 5 minutes (until onions appear translucent). Add the ground turkey, and cook for about 10 minutes (until no longer pink), stirring frequently and chopping any large chunks into small pieces. Add the can of crushed tomatoes, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and fresh basil. Stir the meat sauce until everything is well-combined. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to medium-low heat, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken for about 15-20 minutes. While the turkey bolognese is cooking, prepare the zucchini noodles by slicing 2 large zucchinis with a spiralizer or mandolin. Prepare 1-2 Tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and add noodles. Cook about 3-4 minutes (do not over-cook, they will become soggy if cooked too long.) Keep stirring for even cooking. Prepare each plate with zucchini noodles, followed by turkey bolognese, and top with freshly grated or shaved parmesan cheese.

Tackle 'Stranger Things 2' adventures with Google Home's new interactive game
http://ift.tt/2yWuhc5 If sitting on your couch in the dark, plowing through Stranger Things 2 and tubs of Jell-O chocolate pudding somehow isn't enough to totally immerse yourself in the totally binge-worthy Netflix series, we have a suggestion to go one step further into the Upside Down. Google has launched an interactive game you can play via its Google Home Mini ($49) or Google Home ($129) devices. You just yell out to your Google Home or Mini: “Hey Google, talk to Dustin from Stranger Things,” and the speaker will serve as a walkie-talkie. [RELATED1]

The game is broken up into five chapters that trace the plotline of Season 2. You can watch an episode, then hit up your Google Home to help the gang tackle adventures, according to Google. You can even be inducted into the Hawkins AV Club if you ace the trivia questions. All in all, the game will last about 20 minutes (about as long as your attention span, so there you have it). And it's a fun way to connect with the cast you've watched grow up. Even if you're not into games, having a Google Home device and Chromecast synched to your TV makes binging your favorite (or soon-to-be-favorite shows) that much easier. You'll just say: "OK Google, play Stranger Things on Netflix." [RELATED2] Fitness via Men's Fitness http://ift.tt/Jz6nE4 October 27, 2017 at 12:09PM
Paul Newman’s badass ‘Daytona’ Rolex just became the most valuable watch of all time
http://ift.tt/2ySvQ8Z Thanks to classics like Cool Hand Luke, The Sting, The Hustler, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Paul Newman was unquestionably one of Hollywood’s most badass actors. With Newman’s reputation, it’s not a surprise that one of his watches became one of the most highly sought-after accessories in the world after it was announced in June that his “Daytona” Rolex would be auctioned off. But even the most devoted Newman fans might have to collect their jaws off the floor over this watch's record-setting price. [RELATED1] The watch, a “Rolex Daytona Ref. 6239” model colloquially known as “the Paul Newman,” was sold for a record $15.5 million as part of the “Winning Icons—Legendary Watches of the 20th Century” lot auction at Phillips auction house, according to Bloomberg. Factor in the additional "buyer's premium," and the watch's final price tag went for a whopping $17.8 million. Here’s a look at the watch:
The auction lasted just 12 minutes, and started with a price of $1 million before jumping to $10 million. Eventually, a final showdown between two bidders pushed the price to an astronomical $15.5 million. The price for Newman’s watch shattered the previous record, a stainless steel Patek Philippe that sold for $11.1 million at Phillips in November 2016. [RELATED2] Unlike many celebrity-associated watches, Newman actually wore and owned this watch himself. Originally a gift from his wife Joanne Woodward, Newman frequently wore the watch while appearing on television, in magazines, tabloid photographs, and films during his heyday as a movie star in the 1970s and 1980s. Newman later gifted the watch in 1984 to James Cox, who was dating Newman's daughter Nell at the time. After years of keeping the watch in a safe box, Cox decided to put it up for auction this year, with proceeds going to the Nell Newman Foundation. Want to up your watch game?
