I heard Green Tea is extremely good for you. If I drink it cold, will it give me the same benefits as hot green tea? I like the Snapple Green tea drink you can get in a glass bottle and you drink it cold. Thanks, Lynnie-the-pooh

I love the taste of vinegar - primarily in Salt and Vinegar Chips (or crisps), vinegar on hot potato chips, vinegar on hot rice, and balsamic vinegar peanuts. However none of these are all that healthy (well maybe the rice option isn't too bad). Can anyone recommend healthy vinegar influences snacks?

Help me find a recipe... When I was living in the Washington DC area around 2000 to 2003 we found a recipe for "holiday burgers" or "4th of July burgers" that was published either around the 4th of July, Memorial Day or Labor Day... My recollection that it was around the 4th of July but I can't be 100% certain. It was one of the "summer" holidays listed above. The recipe had mushrooms in it and the burgers were of a "healthy" variety but did use beef and not turkey. I swear the recipe was in the Washington Post or one of the accompanying inserts/magazines (Parade magazine, etc) but we did subscribe to "Cooking Light" magazine at the time. Please help me find this recipe! Thanks...
