Want to impress your next date. Try the latest rage - the Tomato Water Martini.
Tomato water can be described as being the essence of the tomato. It has been all the rage since Martha Stewart featured it on her show recently. Chefs on television are now busy including tomato water in all kinds of recipes. It is also used as a decorative drizzle on a plate.
You would think that tomato water would be red or pink but it is actually a pale yellow juice. It also a very strong smell that goes well with anything that goes well with tomatoes including olives, tomatoes and salads.
Tomato water is usually enhances with a bit of a salt. It is a gourmet item so it only needs a small amount of salt to become the base for summer cocktails and soups. You can also add them to pickle recipes to give them more of a nip.
Tomato water is great for making tomato water martinis and also for making richly flavored gazpachos and cucumber based soups. In fact the tomato water martini is also sometimes dubbed as the dirty martini. Usually these martinis are garnished with interesting things like caper berries or pickled tomatoes. For a different treat try making the tomato water martini with gin instead of vodka. Tomato martinis are becoming all the in the big fancy bars in New York, Los Angeles and Miami.
To make the tomato water, puree ripe tomatoes and place the mixture in triple-ply cheesecloth. Tie the cheesecloth together in a bundle Hang the bundle or let rest in a chinois, with a bowl resting underneath to catch the tomato drippings. Leave the puree to drain at room temperature overnight. Let it drip for as long as possible. The next morning, the liquid captured from the tomato bundle will be deeply flavored and aromatic. You can bottle this tomato water and put it in the fridge and use it to make great salad dressings or you can drizzle it on bread along with some olive oil. Don’t use tomato water that has been sitting all day unrefrigerated on the counter.
If you want your tomato water to turn out right make sure you make it in the manner just described. Don’t try to use some kind of press or blenders. Just manually chop up the tomatoes and bundle them and let them be. In a way the less bruising and manual handling done of the tomatoes themselves the better the tomato water will taste in the end.

It’s January so it is time to be concerned about weight loss because you have to look all slim and beautiful for that date. The thing is most of the products sold online is that they do not help you lose fat. They only cause you to lose water. The loss is temporary and doesn't include any fat. Diuretics can promote dangerous dehydration and cardiac problems. As soon as the body is dehydrated, the weight returns. Meaningful weight loss requires loss of body fat not water.
One sure way to tell that you are dealing with a weight loss product that is a diuretic is if it makes outrageous promises, such as "Lose Ten Pounds a Week" or "Lose Ten Pounds in Three Days." This is only possible if you are going to lose water weight.
You can also figure out what products are diuretics by looking at the ingredients, which according to the FDA must be listed from the most to the least. One of the biggest culprits is caffeine. Caffeine may be listed on the box as a main ingredient or it may be concealed in an ingredient such as green tea.
Most magical weight loss formulas (and especially those that are marketed as Chinese or miracle weight loss teas) contain herbs that act as diuretics. There is no such thing as a "fat burning herb" only herbs and botanicals that cause an increase in heart rate, breathing and other functions. This is not "fat burning" it is simply stress for the body that may trigger it to burn more calories.
Here is a breakdown of some of the most common herbs that are described as fat burning or weight loss miracles but that are actually diuretics.
Bochum. This herb is native to South Africa and is a powerful diuretic. Its main side effect is dehydration and the symptoms that come with it such as dizziness and fatigue
Dandelion - One of the safest diuretics, dandelion contains two diuretic chemicals, eudesmanolides and germacranolides, as well as the mineral potassium, which helps to regulate water balance
Horse Chestnut. Horse Chestnut is an old remedy for individuals with blood pressure problems and for varicose veins. It is a powerful diuretic that should never be used more than a day or two. Its main side effect is dehydration.
Kola Nut - This is a powerful diuretic that is not to be trifled with. The side effects are excessive thirst, nervousness, anxiety, restlessness, frequent urination, urges to go on an empty bladder, over stimulation, mania and insomnia.
Uva Ursi. Uva Ursi is traditionally used to treat bladder infections by increasing urine output. Side effects include frequent urination, urges to go and dehydration.
The weight loss herb Hoodia is also classified as a diuretic. Drinking half your body weight in ounces a day of water will aid your metabolism in breaking down fat cells and flushing out toxins.
If you must take a diuretic, beware of carbonated sodas and caffeinated beverages; they may cause stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea or cause further dehydration while taking these kinds of weight loss supplement formulas.

I am so sick of men being pathetic at seducing us I thought I would lay out some guidelines
After you get a woman on the date you want to make sure you can take her home and successfully seduce her. This means that you need to be set up to be prepared for anything and everything.
Girls love to sit down and get to know a guy while being wined and dined. They love to be served and feel beautiful, like a princess. There are subtle ways that you can do that make it different than anything they’ve experienced before.
Don’t do the usual chip and dip and a bottle of wine. Go to a little more effort than you usually would.
First off clean up your place, as women don’t like mess. Make sure your place is clean, that your bed is made and clean your bathroom. Make sure that there are no whiskers in the sink and that the toilet seat is gone.
Do all of your dishes, take the garbage out and your place doesn’t smell. Wash any dirty socks.
Yet another thing that is very important to women is a guest towel with which to wipe their hands with and enough toilet paper on the roll.
Remember this – the cleaner your place is the more likely she is to respect you and also feel safe when she is with you. You will also appear powerful, as she will wonder where you found the time to make your place so nice.
Prepared cheese plates, wine and champagne is going to impress her. Avoid spreads that are too strong like ones with garlic or onions as their main ingredient as it will make her nervous about her breath and yours. Stick to blander but interesting foods.
Most women like Brie cheese and you can this at most local supermarkets or discount gourmet stores. However it’s not about over doing it, it’s about little touches that fascinate and leave her wanting more. For instance lay a little flower beside the Brie or use an antique cheese spreader.
A real delicacy is black caviar on a slice of avocado on top of a table cracker. This is the kind of thing you could easily feed her.
Strawberries and chocolate are also a good choice as they are both seduction foods as well.
Get some white wine and champagne as well. One bottle should be enough.
If you have a fireplace, light it. Yet another reason why your woman appreciates firelight or candlelight is because it is simply more flattering. Great candle scents are vanilla, orange, patchouli or sandalwood.
Make sure you enough music for several hours, without having to keep getting up to change it. Did you know that you can sign up for tunes for free and have the use of their 24 hour streaming radio, in every genre is also free? As long as you have a high-speed Internet connection, you can enjoy music no commercials all night.

Boys before you decide to ask anyone out on a date can you please get rid of your jealous ex? I just had the worst experience with a man who seemed to have a stalker on his tail.
Okay first of all he lied to me. He told me he was single when in fact he was still living at home with his ex girlfriend. How did I find this out? She ran after me with a kitchen knife and threw shoes at me is how.
This is how it went down. I met this guy John at a party and he said he was a lawyer and he was single. He also told me a bit about her but I had no idea they were still living together. After meeting John for coffee a few days later we decided we would go tout to see a play that my friend was in and then take it from there.
We went to the play and then out to dinner and then I drove him home. He lives in this nice stately old house in the Art Deco part of town. We go up to his front door and he tries the key. The door opens and then it shuts right in his place. Someone inside relocks the door and won’t let him in.
Before I can ask him what I sgoing on I see this face in the window and hear a voice screaming “Get off my step and away from my man you fucking bitch.” This apparently is his ex.
WE go back to my car and get in. He tells me that she is his ex and that she has nowhere to go so she is living in the downstairs aprt of his home and he is living in the upstairs and that it is still cool for me to come. Idiot that I am I decide to give this another try.,
He knocks on the door , she opens it and she has a knife in her hand. I of course see this and high tail it down the street. This is when she starts taking off her shoes. He gets into my car and hides. The next half hour is spent watching her pound the crap out of my car as if she was an ape testing a suitcase. Of course the whole time she is screaming at him while I watch from the bushes.
Finally the police come and Little Miss Frothing at the Mouth is taken away. Needless to say I just could not have a relationship with a guy under these circumstances. He sent me email after email begging fro me to understand that he really was single but quite frankly I like myself and would rather not be stabbed to death by a kitchen knife or have my eye put out by a woman hauling shoes in my direction. Until he gets rid of that jealous stalker, there will be no bookie from me?

While on the date you can tell by looking at amen’s body language if she is likely to sleep with you or not.
You can also control your body language so it gives her the message that you are attracted to him.
As far as attraction goes, here's how he gets the message from you:
· 55% is through body language
· 38% is the tone and speed of your voice
· only 7% is through what you say
It works the exact opposite of how you’ve been taught.
Is there any one posture that you should adopt while trying to pick up a man?
Lean back and cross your arms, but also lean in at the right times, pulling back as if you’re teasing him. You’re letting him know non-verbally that she has to convince you to be interested in her.
You can also gage his interest in you by observing the following body language –
1. He leans her body into yours.
Many omen unconsciously tilt their body in your direction when they are interested in you. Their knees and shoulders will be pointing at you or their fingers. Some men swivel their upper torso in towards you while crossing their legs.
2. He makes lots of eye contact.
If amen is interested he will make lots of eye contact with you. Sometimes if you try to make eye contact he will look away rapidly.
When you look into their eyes, everything you say sounds more important and means more to them. Remember, you’re trying to be unique. Visualize what most guys would do and do the exact opposite.
3. He blushes when you look at him.
If the man you are with is blushing a lot it means she is really attracted to you.
4. He plays with your personal items.
If a man is attracted to you she will do things like pick up your lighter or play with your fork in order to get your attention. He may even play with your sleeve. This can be a precursor to actually holding your hand.
5. He does not seem hungry.
If a man is sexually attracted to you she may have trouble eating in front of you. He may pick at her food and instead focus on talking to you or smoke a cigarette. Sexual arousal has the effect of cutting their appetitive. Also many men feel that they look unattractive when they are eating so they will not do it in front of someone they are trying to seduce. Women will do the same thing by the way. For some reason sexual arousal can just make you feel self-conscious about eating.
Usually if it is a man who is worth his salt he will make some kind of advance. The one I like best is when they put their hand on the small of your back as if to reassure you they will be there. It is a very respectful yet at the same time tender and sexual gesture.

One of the secrets to being a successful at dating is not to get as many numbers as you can but instead to give out your number as much as possible. You don’t want to sit at home calling men all day. Let them call you!
Getting the man to call you is one of the most effective things that you can do to keep him hooked on you. This is because the person who is called has more personal power in a relationship than the person who is doing the calling. Let hemi chase you and not the other way around.
In order to accomplish this you first need to get rid of the delusion that you are somehow not in control if you do not have the man’s number.
So what if he calls you and you happen to change your mind or not be interested. Simply either ignore the call or tell him gently that you are no longer interested.
Here are five tips for getting a man’s number and responding to her call.
1. Make up a calling card.
A calling card is a little different than a business card. A business card just has your name and phone number on it. Make sure it is elegant and don’t let amen that you like leaving your company without making sure he has one and puts it in her first.
2. Approach men you like fast!
Be swift, charming and don’t give her the chance to opt out of the conversation. Be confident and lead the conversation by asking questions about him. Don’t talk about your self and while you are talking get out your calling card and make sure it ends up in her hand, pocket or purse.
3. Be unavailable.
When he does call do not return the call immediately. Let her wait two or three days.
This creates a sense of anticipation and she may be thinking that you have options with other men. This plays with her natural hard-wired instinct to be jealous.
4. Pet him on the head for calling.
If she does call and you like him make sure she knows how impressed you are that she has taken the initiative. Sound really happy to hear from her as if it is a pleasant surprise and you have been waiting until you have a moment to talk to her.
This will make her feel like he is in control of the relationship and more confident about going to bed with you when the time comes.
One of the new problems as a successful Lilith is time management, be careful what you wish for. It’s important to plan ahead for success by using techniques like ‘giving out your number’ and ‘having dates at your place’. You need to train yourself now, and get used to it, before you acquire any more bad habits such as forgetting to do the laundry in case a man comes over.
You will also need to prioritize your phone calls and set up an answering machine because you may get more phone calls then you can possibly handle! This has happened to me many times and turned my life into love life into something that practically requires project management.

Why is it that some men always seem to have a pretty woman on their arm while others can’t even seem to ever have the date?
The secret is that these men know where to hang out to find the perfect date.
The worst place to try and find a date is on a some kind of dateless excursion that you are on yourself. For instance if you go to the local singles bar you are not going to find the perfect date because you are already mingling with other people who are unable to get a date. This means you are not looking at the cream of the crop.
Here are five secret places where you are most likely to find the date of your dreams …
1. A local coffee shop or café during the day.
Meeting a woman that is full of caffeine is better than meeting one that is full of alcohol. A woman that meets you when she is in her right mind is more likely to genuinely like you for who you really are rather than trying to grasp at straws for a bed mate at last call in a bar.
2. In a grocery store.
A grocery store is a warm friendly place where a woman feels secure. Your best tact in this case is to seem a bit helpless as if you don’t know which product to buy. Simply approach the woman that you are interested in and ask her for advice about what you should do. Women enjoy seeing men act helpless around things that should actually be in their jurisdiction. This can usually lead to a long conversation.
3. Crafts and cooking classes.
If you want to meet women, do what women do. One of the best places to meet them is in their domain. Take a class that you normally wouldn’t in jewelry making or pastry decorating. You are bound to meet a lot of women there.
4. In a park but bring your dog!
One of the best props you can carry as a single man looking for a date is a pet. Women love dogs and they will see you as being gentle.
5. Using online dating services.
If you are serious about finding as soul mate then it is worth putting a profile up on an online dating service. The key is to get to know as many women as possible by sending them messages so they know you are interested and in the dating game. Make sure any messages that you do send them are witty, courteous and polite.

Some women really fear dating. This is easy to get over. First of stop defining yourself by men who don’t matter to you anymore unless it has been constructive criticism from licensed therapists
You’ve got to be aware of your internal dialogue; you know that little voice in your head that speaks all the time? It’s probably happening right now. As you’re reading this, you have other things going on in your head. It could be related to dating or something totally different.
Your inner critic is controlling most of your interactions. Let’s be clear…YOU are not. That inner voice is flowing all the time and it’s going to throw negative thoughts at you; it’s going to try to derail you and remind you about all of the reasons that you won’t be successful with men. It is the eternal battle of the subconscious mind against the rational mind. The most civilized of beings know how to quell these self-critical thoughts.
The first step is realizing that it exists and getting control of it. Refuse to let it control your success with men. It is simply time to forget what other people think if you want to get ahead on the dating scene.
Based on your past failures, your inner voice could be telling you anyone of the following things:
This kind of thing never happens to you --
· Men don’t respond to you
· You’re not funny
· You’re not confident
· You’re not good looking
· You don’t have anything to offer
You are too fat
You are a dumb blonde/wear glasses
You are too thin
· You’re not interesting
· You’re not dressed cool enough
· Your hair looks bad
· You’re going to run out of things to say
He will be more attracted to your friends than you
It’s telling you every reason why you won’t be successful. It’s also warning you about the possible negative outcomes such embarrassment and rejecting:
When you get nervous, you fall back on behavior that feels comfortable to you. Your defense mechanism kicks in and you start manifesting the wrong events.
You are spending a lot of energy on behavior that isn’t getting you what you want that you have none left for later when you have an actual opportunity.
Your father, your best friend who had an unrequited crush from you and your ex all have a secret agenda to hurt your feelings as they all are motivated by a desire to prevent other women from spending time in your company. If you are defining yourself by negative criticism from a man who is out of our life it is time to let it go.

Your inner critic is controlling most of your interactions. Let’s be clear…YOU are not.

Ever wonder how some men seem to make us so desperate for their attention?
Here are some tips and tricks that I stole out of a man’s book on dating for taking advantage of the fact that women are hard-wired --
1. Never ask for her phone number.
Never beg for her phone number. That is one of the principles of being powerful. Make her phone you by giving you hers. Act like you just don’t care. This also makes it seem like you are already busy dating other women.
2. Never return her phone call immediately.
Wait at least three days before you return any calls. Wait until you think she is just about to give up on you and then phone. This drives her crazy with curiosity when it comes to wondering what you could possibly be doing that is more interesting than being with her.
3. Surround yourself with as many women as possible.
When you are in a social situation try to be around as many women as possible. If you are in a bar or at a party it is crucial for you to talk to as many women as possible so other women notice.
Date gurus call this multiplying women.
One of the easiest ways to do this is to go up to a group of women and engage them all in a conversation at once. Even saying something as simple as “So what are you girls up to tonight?” can start a group conversation.
Just make sure that when the girl you are really interested in is looking your way that you are always talking to another woman.
4. Be Prince Charming.
If you have a good friend who is a woman make sure you are attentive to her as if she was your girlfriend. Take her coat for her and put your hand on the small of her back. This will make the other women wish that you were available and when they discover that you actually are they will be delighted.
5. Make her aware of the competition.
If you do end up talking to a woman at the bar it is not a bad idea to give her a little sense of healthy competition. Consider flashing your wallet and make sure there is a big picture of another woman inside.
She may be so curious she may ask who she is. If she does try to look mysterious, pained or tragic. Tell her you will tell her all about it some day and that you just can’t talk about it right now. Even better imply that talking about it might steal away the precious minutes you could be spending talking to you.
Some of these dating gurus are really outrageous. He say “If you practice these tips and techniques you will be cleverly using a woman’s hard-wired instincts, which she thinks she is using to her advantage to your own!” No wonder we are so taken advantage of.
