 mushrooms.
After having cleaned them properly, place them in a bowl with water and put them in the refrigerator. With this method you can keep fresh truffles for approximately 10 days.
A second method to preserve truffles is to freeze them. This method is perfect if you want to keep the mushrooms for a longer period of time, such as a year. You don't need to slice them in order to freeze them. You can place them whole in the freezer, and grate whatever quantity you need when you need it, without allowing the whole truffle to defrost.
Truffles preserved in jars. If you have bought a lot of truffles, it is ideal to keep them in jars. You can do this by using different liqueurs or wines which will also help the mushrooms deliver more flavour to your dishes. For example, brandy preserves truffles for longer. Boil truffles in a liqueur for 30 minutes and then keep them in the refrigerator.
You will also find truffles packaged in water and salt for sale, whether whole or sliced into pieces.
There is another way that will not only preserve your truffles but also give them flavour. For an even more intense flavour that makes dishes taste better, aromatise the mushrooms for 24 hours before use, whether you cook them or freeze them. As well as helping the truffles, it will keep them in a good condition prior to preparing them in a stew.
Preservation in vinegar is another great way of storing your truffles for later use. You can submerge truffles in any mild vinegar such as apple or dry sherry and allow them to infuse for a couple of months in the mixture. Remember this method will ensure the truffles are not damaged, however, it can happen that the truffle dries out and lose their flavour. Therefore, this trick is recommended if you want to add them to salads, soups or salad dressings.
Finally, another way to preserve your truffles is submerging them in oil. Place grated or chopped truffles in either olive, sunflower or peanut oil. Then place the truffles in the oil in the refrigerator to avoid them spoiling. If you place a whole truffle inside, you will need to filter the oil in a few days.

A diagnostic laparoscopy is an operation using keyhole surgery to look at your abdominal and pelvic organs. For some women, minor treatments can be performed at the same time.
A diagnostic laparoscopy is good for finding out the cause of lower abdominal and pelvic pain, certain period problems and infertility. The operation will help to find out if you have endometriosis, pelvic infection, adhesions, damaged fallopian tubes, an ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts or fibroids.
It may be appropriate to try to find the cause of your symptoms using a blood test, x-rays and scans.
What does the Laparoscopy operation involve?
The Laparoscopy Procedure is usually performed under a general anaesthetic. The operation usually takes about 15 minutes.
You should be able to go home the same day. The healthcare team will tell you what was found during the laparoscopy and discuss with you any treatment or follow-up you need.
Regular exercise should help you to return to normal activities as soon as possible. Before you start exercising, ask the health care team or your GP for advice.

Frustration overflowed in a campaign conference call Wednesday after Paul’s failure to capture caucuses in North Dakota, Idaho and Alaska — venues where the candidate boldly predicted victory on national TV two days earlier.
And the leader of the Endorse Liberty Super PAC said Wednesday he is rethinking the group’s multimillion-dollar financial support of Paul’s campaign.
“Yes, we are reassessing our efforts,” Endorse Liberty Abe Niederhauser told Politico. “We will continue to support Dr. Paul, but ultimately, we support an idea. We will support candidates who uphold the principles of liberty. We may also get involved in some of the Senate and House races.”
Endorse Liberty, funded primarily by PayPal founder Peter Thiel, spent $2.94 million for Paul in January and is running short on cash. The group reported less than $61,000 cash on hand after its heavy investment in Paul.
Campaign sources also tell Capitol Hill Blue that contributions from other sources have slowed and they expect a further drop after Super Tuesday’s disappointing results.
In a Wednesday conference call, Paul’s campaign aides openly expressed frustration over a campaign that draws large, cheering crowds at events but can’t translate that enthusiasm into votes.
Said Paul senior adviser Doug Wead: “Did they get overconfident? We’re digesting that.”
It also appears Paul’s cadre of youthful supporters are looking elsewhere. Tufts University for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), found in exit interviews and surveys that former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum garnered as many votes as Paul from young voters as Paul in Massachusetts, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia — about 88,000 votes for each. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney finished close behind with 86,000 votes.
“Paul counted on his youthful supporters,” GOP strategist Arnold Block told Capitol Hill Blue on Wednesday. “Now it seems they are shopping around.”
“So far, the Republican primary shows a strikingly even race for the youth vote, with no candidate really winning the race for Republicans’ allegiance,” CIRCLE director Peter Levine told U.S. News & World Report.
No one expects Paul to drop out of the race but if his contributions continue to dwindle and he can’t pull off a win soon, he may be forced to scale back his campaign.

I feel the biggest problem is not the fact that Ron Paul has a lack of support, but more so the fact that too many DUMB Americans are supporting either Romney or Obama without any real reason why. Under Obama, he promised to cut the budget spending back in 2008 and raise taxes on the upper class to help balance out the economy. Mitt (Puppet boy) Romney holds similar voting records to that of Obama’s record as far as what we should do to fix the economy. Then you have Obama himself making excuses that he can’t pass the tax increase on the upper class because the Republican house is blocking him. Yet, we were in a really bad recession in 1992 and 4 trillion in the hole and President Clinton balanced the budget with a Republican majority in both houses and we ended up with a 300 billion dollar surplus. Maine and Iowa have already admitted that voter fraud had happened during their primaries. Yet there are still way too many americans drinking the Obama and/or the Romney Koolaid and stating that there is no conspiracy and that the economy is improving despite the fact that the unemployment numbers are misleading due to the fact that they don’t count the underemployed and those who have quit actively looking for jobs because they feel that no full time jobs are available for them. I have a link to a CBS report which talks about the misleading of unemployment numbers and I heard another CBS report that stated that the average american takes about 8 months to find full time employment. That is ridiculous when you consider that the longest I’ve ever gone without a job at all before the Obama administration was 5 1/2 months. I’m proud to say I support Ron Paul. And I feel sorry for the dumb americans who don’t support the one man who not only has a clear concise plan on how to fix the economy, but also wants a return to following the constitution instead of disregarding our constitutional rights like President Obama has with the NDAA and OPEN acts one of which was passed without the approval of the Senate.
Paul is a great candidate. And indeed he has been slighted by our media. Even Jon Stewart, not only noticed it but even spoke of why no on pays attention to him. He has been consistent more than anyone else. He has never voted to raise taxes or go into wars we shouldnt be in, in the first place. He has voted down everytime thigns that would take away our liberties because he believes in freedom unlike democrats and republicans. He is the only one tha would indeed be a real help to the counrty. Its sad that people dont want to see it because he is “extreme.” Johnson is great but Ron Paul is just as libertarian as he is (only differs on abortion). I do hope one day that we wake up and see the truth, they all stink except for Ron Paul.
Until he caves into the masses, Gov. Johnson is my candidate
VOTE GARY JOHNSON!
Ron Paul had to know he was facing an uphill battle coming into the race. If nothing else Ron Paul has escalated the fact that our liberties are being
