Zucchini is as tasty eaten raw as it is cooked. Try cutting raw zucchini into sticks, and pair it with healthy condiments, like hummus or guacamole. Use a vegetable peeler to cut zucchini into long, thin strips, and mix them with lemon juice, olive oil and pepper for an easy-to-prepare but flavorful salad. Saute zucchini in vegetable broth, then add flavor with freshly chopped basil or mint, or brush zucchini strips with olive oil and then grill until cooked.
Where Warm Waters Haltâ¦On the Trail of Treasure in the Rocky Mountains! A âblazeâ I found in the Rio Grande Gorge in northern New Mexico last spring. âWhere warm waters haltâ¦ where warm waters haltâ¦ where warm waters halt.â For two summers, Iâve been exploring the Rocky Mountains with those words on my mind. Why those four words in particular? Because I believe they lead to a modern-day treasure chest.
Warm Currents Warm ocean currents flow away from the equatorial region on the western side of ocean basins. The Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic and the Kuroshio Current in the North Pacific are examples of warm currents. Of all the warm currents, the Gulf Stream has been studied most extensively. A narrow, intense flow of warm water, the Gulf Stream begins in the Caribbean Sea and follows the east coast of the United States northward around Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. There the current veers northeastward across the Atlantic Ocean, where it is called the North Atlantic Drift. The current carries warm water to Iceland and the British Isles. As a result, these places have warmer climates than they would otherwise.
