From time to time we go back to our grandmother’s recipe book to make some classic dishes that we enjoyed as children. Today, modern food trends and the adaptation of fusion foods are on the rise. However, cooking old-fashioned recipes bring back a wave of nostalgia for those good old mornings where we could dig into a heavy breakfast without worrying about the hustle and bustle of our lives. Two such recipes that always strike a chord in our hearts are biscuits and gravy, and buttermilk waffles. Here are the old-fashioned recipes for these two dishes. Biscuits and gravy This is an old-fashioned recipe from down South. You will need to following ingredients to make this dish:

• 2 cups pancake and baking mix
• ⅔ cup buttermilk
• ½ stick or ¼ cup melted butter
• 2 tablespoons of regular butter
• 1 packet (16-ounce) of hot pork sausage
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1½ cups milk
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

To start, preheat the oven to 425ºF. Add the pancake mix, buttermilk, and the melted butter to form a dough. Spoon it on to the baking sheet. Bake for about 14-16 minutes or till it turns golden brown. Your biscuits are ready. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt remaining butter; cook it for 1-2 minutes, or until it is brown. Add the sausage and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until no pink portions remain. Stir it frequently to crumble the sausage. Next, add in the flour and mix well. Then, mix in the milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until gravy thickens, stirring constantly. Cut the biscuits in half and spoon the sausage mixture evenly on bottom halves before serving. Buttermilk Waffles This good old-fashioned recipe needs the following ingredients to work:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons melted butter

Start by preheating the electric waffle iron and coat it with a layer of cooking spray. Mix in all the ingredients to prepare the batter. Pour this batter onto the prepared waffle iron. Close the lid and cook it for 60 to 90 seconds, or until it turns golden brown. Use a fork to remove the waffle on to a plate carefully. Repeat these steps with remaining batter, and serve it while the dish is hot.

One of the more common chronic pain treatment options is a nerve block. A nerve block manages the pain by injecting an anesthetic in the area around the pain. This, in turn, interrupts the pain signals to the brain. Most of the injections for chronic pain management is done on an outpatient basis. Some may be performed with the guidance of X-rays and some, without. Before a nerve block, the doctor needs to be informed if you are pregnant or are allergic to blue dye. Some of the more common nerve blocks for chronic pain treatment include:

• Epidural Steroid Injection: This is an injection given in the neck or in the back. The idea of this chronic pain treatment option is to deposit some anti-inflammatory steroid in the epidural space around the area of inflammation, i.e., the area where the pain is generating from. They are generally done with the guidance of X-rays. Side effects of this injection include a sore back or neck, especially at the point of the needle prick, and temporary numbness lasting about 8 hours in the back, neck, or the hand. If the numbness extends beyond 8 hours, it is best to consult the doctor.
• Facet Joint Injection: Facet joint is the one that helps the spine in the neck and back region move. Injecting into this joint will help relieve chronic pain in the back and the neck. This injection has to be performed with the guidance of an X-ray and a contrast dye is used to get the injection done inside the joint. Side effects include soreness at the point of the injection. If an individual finds significant relief from a facet joint injection, which is considered a diagnostic block, doctors will consider giving an injection that is more long lasting.
• Lumbar Sympathetic Block: This is an injection done under an X-ray guidance for chronic leg pains. The leg will turn warm immediately after the injection and you will experience soreness and numbness.
• Celiac Plexus Block: This is an injection given on the mid back for people with pancreatic cancer and for those who have chronic pain in the abdomen.
• Stellate Ganglion Block: This is given for chronic pain of the hand. Side effects include soreness, droopy eyes, and difficulty in swallowing.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a medical condition that affects both adults and children. A person suffering from this condition has differences in brain activity and brain development that affect self-control, attention, and the ability to sit still. ADHD can affect people at home, work or in relationships as it has a telling impact on the way people behave. It is easier to recognize ADHD in adults than children as the signs are prominent. Here is the list of symptoms, ADHD adults may experience:

• Trouble getting organized The troubles of managing bills, children, and jobs to name a few can prove to be quite a task for ADHD patients.
• Reckless driving Reckless driving and frequent accidents are a few of the symptoms ADHD adults come across often. The condition makes people more likely to drive recklessly which leads to getting speeding tickets and losing their license.
• Marital problems Constant marital problems, arguing over small things, poor listening skills and an inability to honor commitments is a sign of the onset of the disease.
• Prone to distraction Not being able to get your mind on things and getting distracted easily is a sign of ADHD. Finishing any particular task becomes difficult for ADHD patients and they keep moving from one thing to another. As you are easily distracted, your mind jumps from one thing to the other. You may plan to do something, but it slips off your mind and you start doing something else. This results in you getting late for almost everything.
• Poor listening skills When you appear to be listening to someone but your mind is somewhere else, it indicates the onset of the condition.
• Trouble starting a task While you may like the idea of doing something, you are not able to do it as it requires too much attention and concentration. This is one of the symptoms of ADHD in adults.

Therapy and medicine are ways to treat this condition. Therapy helps people develop emotional, social, and planning skills. This is generally lacking in ADHD patients. Medicine helps activate the ability of the brain to slow down, pay attention, and use more self-control. Seek treatment options only after carefully monitoring an adult’s ADHD symptoms and diagnosing the disease. The disease can get better with time; so, do not waste time once the disease is a certainty. The earlier the treatment, the more effective it is.
