Impingement (impact on bone into rotator cuff tendon or bursa) should not occur during normal shoulder function. When it does happen, the rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed and swollen, a condition called rotator cuff tendonitis. Likewise if the bursa becomes inflamed, shoulder bursitis will develop. Both these conditions can co-exist or be present independently.
Blanching the dandelion greens. One good trick to get rid of the bitterness of the dandelion leaves is to blanch them. Blanching involves cooking them in boiling salted water for a few minutes, may be from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Now drain the greens and transfer them to ice water.
My sil tells me that my mil cooked the eggplant at high heat for a very long time until it was almost burned. Is it possible that cooking it in such a way gets rid of the bitterness? My mil bought her eggplants at the chain grocery store- so this is not a freshness issue. Thanks for any ideas.
