CAN you use essential clove oil instead of ground cloves in recipes?

Good heavens, NO! Cloves and garlic do not resemble each other in flavor any more than chocolate and horseradish do. You would NEVER substitute one for the other. They are two of the most distinctive - and different - flavors in cooking. A clover of garlic is one section of the garlic head. Cloves, as a spice, look like tiny nails. They have one of the most pungent and pervasive flavors of any spice, and must be used with great discretion.


What is TobaccoWhere does Tobacco come fromHow is Tobacco used?

Its a broad leaf weed from the Americas and West Indies. when Columbus landed on Hispaniola he saw the people there smoking it and getting so high they fell down. It grows anywhere. Tobacco is bad for the soil because it drains the soil of all its nutrients and gives back nothing. At various times in Europe it was banned for its odor and the mess tobacco users made. But it made a lot of money for the Spanish, French and Portuguese. Soon, it was grown in the middle east, Turkey and Africa. In the US it was grown and exported to Europe because of its mild and aromatic flavor. The active ingredient in tobacco is the highly addictive 'nicotine'. In fact, it is classified as one of the most addictive substances on earth. Neither tobacco nor nicotine have any health benefits or provide any nutrients (the late Frank Zappa claimed cigarettes as food). The uses of tobacco I can think of are as anti-fogging agent when the juice is spread over glass and as an insecticide. Most tobacco is consumed by people addicted to the product. It is smoked as a cigarette, in a pipe, in a cigar, as snuff and chewed. Swallowing the product causes immediate vomiting. symptoms of poisoning by ingestion are nausea, disorientation and vomiting. People who smoke literally "stink" of tobacco. In many places like restaurants, hospitals, stores, bars, clubs and stores, and official offices it is banned and carries a fine. Cancer rates caused by tobacco usage are very high. It also causes other lung diseases, contributes to heart disease and causes premature wrinkling of the skin. Other cancers are head, neck, tongue, nasal, throat and esophageal.


How long to travel to Saturn?

How long it takes to travel to Saturn depends on:where you start fromhow your starting point is moving in relation to Saturnhow fast you can acceleratehow long you can acceleratewhat orbital path you choose to followwhether you want to just get to Saturn and crash into it or you want to take up an orbit around itFour spacecraft have been to Saturn. Pioneer 11 took just over 6 yearsVoyager 1 took just over 3 yearsVoyager 2 took 4 yearsCassini Huygens took just under 7 yearsIt has to be remembered that flying a spacecraft straight to Saturn would take a lot longer. To decrease the flight time a gravitational assist path is used. This involves flying the spacecraft to a nearer planet and using the gravitational field of that planet to accelerate the space craft. Cassini Huygens flew by Venus, Earth, Venus again and Jupiter.Cassini Huygens is the only spacecraft to remain in orbit around Saturn. The other spacecraft were fly-by missions.well it depends but i assume that it would take 3 years approximately at 17mph. it takes 6, 7 or mabye even 8 both ways.The time to travel to Saturn would depend on the speed you attained and the path you had to follow. Seldom are the Earth and Saturn arranged to allow a straight flight outward from Earth's orbit to Saturn's orbit.With current rocket technology, it would take at least a year going one-way. Space probes usually take longer, but save fuel by using paths that allow them to get an assist from planetary gravity. This involves flying the spacecraft to a nearer planet and using the gravitational field of that planet to accelerate the spacecraft. This time would have to be shortened considerably to make manned missions feasible.Four spacecraft have been to Saturn.Pioneer 11 took just over 6 yearsVoyager 1 took just over 3 yearsVoyager 2 took 4 yearsCassini Huygens took just under 7 yearsCassini Huygens flew by Venus, Earth, Venus again and Jupiter. Cassini Huygens is the only spacecraft to remain in orbit around Saturn. The other spacecraft were fly-by missions.Just like any other trip, the time it takes depends on your speed and theroute you take. But we have some experience with that particular trip. The Cassini-Huygens space probe was designed especially to explore Satuirn and its moons. After 20 years of planning, it was launched on October 15, 1997, and it arrived and entered orbit around Saturn on July 1, 2004 ... a total of about 6.75 years.It depends on the spacecraft, how fast you are travelling, whether or not you were taking a direct path, and the relative locations of Earth and Saturn to one another as they orbit the sun.Let's assume that you are traveling in a straight line to Saturn, and that Saturn and Earth are perfectly lined up while you make your journey (which is a distance of 1195.5x106km). It would therefore take you:-- 1 hour, 6 minutes, and 25 seconds if you were travelling the speed of light.-- 110 years, 163 days, 23 hours, 51 minutes, and 22 seconds if you were travelling the speed of sound.-- 3 years, 152 days, 19 hours, and 58 minutes if you were travelling the same speed as Apollo 10 (39,896 km/h).It is not possible for a spacecraft to fly straight to Saturn. There are two main reasons. One, rockets cannot carry enough fuel to fly straight to Saturn in a reasonable time. Two, the laws of gravitation (orbital dynamics) mean an orbital (curved) path has to be followed. To gain speed, current spacecraft use a technique known as gravitational assist, by flying towards nearer planets and using the planet's gravitational pull to accelerate them.It takes around 7 years to get to Saturn from earth.
