General cooking tips

Kitchen Tip : Using a pressure cooker saves up to two-thirds of the cooking time, saves energy, and preserves the goodness in your food.

Track down specials and buy in bulk. Buying in bulk means less trips, and can be a good way of reducing your food miles.

Buy Local Food : Cultivate an awareness of how far your food travels. When Rich Pirog, Food Systems Program Leader for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, tracked the miles traveled for 16 types of produce, he found that locally sourced fruits and vegetables such as apples, lettuce and tomatoes traveled an average of 56 miles, compared to 1,494 miles — nearly 27 times farther — for the same fruits and vegetables delivered through conventional retail channels. Things get stickier with combination foods, strawberry yogurt for example. Pirog came up with 2,216 miles by adding up the distance traveled for the yogurt’s milk, sugar and strawberries. That figure could be slashed by 90 percent if you buy plain yogurt and stir in some locally grown honey and fruit.

Safety in the kitchen

If you've consumed alcohol, don't be tempted to cook with a chip pan.
Test the temperature of deep fat fryer oil with a small piece of bread or potato. If it crisps quickly, the oil is hot enough.

Ingredients And Procedures

6 Egg

Salt; pepper to taste 1/4 lb Margarine; parve or

-butter if dairy is OK 1 lb Noodles,

This is the simplest way to make a kugel and in my mind the best! Combine butter with hot cooked noodles, Add eggs and stir until blended in. Season to taste. put in 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 for one hour. Serve with roasted anything. It's a forgiving recipe. For a lighter taller kugel..beat whites first; but I never do! This is the good old fashioned way of serving what's 'bad' for you but tastes so good. These days i only make it for special occasions...like when little Sara comes to dinner.
