Food and cooking tips

Good food alone cannot make you healthy and happy. You also need sunshine (for vitamin D and strong biorhythms), moderate exercise, relaxation, and love. A daily walk outdoors will give you the first three. Use a water-filter and nontoxic household products (available from us & elsewhere). Get mercury fillings out of your teeth. Avoid drugs and manmade chemicals whenever possible. If your health remains poor, find a doctor who will search for the root causes, not suppress the symptoms with drugs and surgery.


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.


Oven Tips : Stagger pans and baking sheets on upper and lower racks to improve airflow, and don't cover racks with foil. Food cooks more quickly and efficiently when heat circulates freely.

Ingredients And Procedures

4 ounces soft cream cheese

3 ounces thinly sliced corned beef

3 ounces thinly sliced pastrami

8 slices Swiss cheese -- thinly sliced

2 tablespoons grainy mustard

2 tablespoons Thousand island salad dressing

1/2 cup sauerkraut -- well drained

1 large soft cracker bread sheet

--Hye Roller brand*

Bring bread to room temperature. Cover entire round with cream cheese. Layer ingredients on bread in order given leaving about 4 inches at one end covered with cream cheese only. Beginning at the end covered with filling, roll the bread as tightly as possible jelly-roll fashion toward the end covered with cream cheese only. Ingredients have a tendency to move down as you roll. Just tuck them under and keep rolling. The final roll with only the cream cheese acts as a seal. Wrap sandwich in plastic wrap and refrigerate for later use, or slice and serve immediately. Best when used within 48 hours. To serve: Remove plastic wrap and slice sandwich into 12 pieces. One serving is 3 sandwich rounds. Makes 4 servings. *Hye Roller cracker bread is a pliable sheet of soft cracker bread made by the Hye Quality Bakery, 2222 Santa Clara, Fresno, CA 93721 (209) 445-1511. Formatted by Lynn Thomas dcqp82a@prodigy.com. Source: Hye Roller Cracker Bread package. Lynn's notes: I prefer to use the flavored cream cheeses--especially Roasted Garlic. I've softened the cracker bread by putting it in the microwave for 20 seconds. If you can't find Hye Roller brand, substitute softened flour tortillas.
