The leads of your pacemaker can be left in place â though they may need to be replaced eventually â and the procedure to change your pacemaker's battery is often quicker and requires less recovery time than the procedure to first implant your pacemaker.
Russian Black Bread. There's a nice tangy bite to this hearty dark rye that still has a tender crumb, thanks to the wheat flour. Cocoa and coffee powders darken the loaf, and caraway and fennel seeds impart just a bit of licorice flavor. It can be made in your bread machine or with a stand mixer.
Braise It. Many of the most memorable fennel dishes braise the aromatic vegetable. Cut your bulb into wedges and saute them gently in a bit of oil, with onions or garlic, then simmer the fennel in broth or sauce until meltingly tender. Fennel that's slow-cooked this way has a distinctively rich and creamy texture.
