Food tips

Buying an Oven : In gas appliances, look for blue flames; yellow flames indicate the gas is burning inefficiently and an adjustment may be needed. Consult your manufacturer or your local utility.


Try Eating Raw Food : You need a balance of three basic food groups as most of your diet:
  • sweet fruits (apples, oranges, berries, melons, etc.)
  • green leaves (dark lettuce, kale, collards, spinach, etc.)
  • raw plant fats (avocados, olives & their oil, coconuts & their oil, nuts & seeds, durian)
    • Eat lots of sweet fruit, lots of green leaves, and some fat (as dressing, pâté, hummus, etc.). Add vegetables as desired, and sprouted grains and legumes occasionally. Try fruit for breakfast and snacks; greens, veggies and fat for lunch and dinner.

    The Atkins’ Diet
    Now nearly 5 decades old, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg bacon and butter.
    With the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, weight loss program.
    With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour.
    On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

    The Atkins’ Diet Theory
    The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to change into carbohydrates, it is the carbohydrates which are burned first. If we eat fewer carbs, we will utilise our stored fat and we will get rid of some fat. Although inviting, this theory is controversial, not all experts agree and some allege that it might be hazardous.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 pounds fresh pork -- See notes b

2 quarts boiling water

2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 cups cornmeal

2 cups cold water

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon savory and sage -- mixed

salt -- to taste stock from boiled pork flour hot oil maple syrup

Simmer pork in boiling water with 2 teaspoons of salt until meat is very tender (about 2 hrs). Save Stock. Shred the cooked pork with a fork into fine pieces or threads. Bring to boil 1 quart of stock. Mix cornmeal and cold water, then add to boiling stock stirring in to prevent clumps. ( I think my Mom used all stock no water.) Cook stirring until thick. Add seasonings. Stir the meat to the cornmeal mush and cook for 5 minutes. Pour into a buttered loaf pan 9x5x3. Chill until firm. Slice 1/4-1/2 inch thick slices ( We like ours thin and crispy) Dip the slices in flour to coat lightly and brown them on both sides in hot oil. Serve hot with lots of syrup. Some people like them plain or with butter. My brother ate his with ketchup. (But he was a weird eater and ate EVERYTHING with ketchup then.)
