Making Ethnic Foods Safer
One of the wonders of the modern world is that we can enjoy
foods from other places and times. Books, magazines, TV shows,
internet searches, community cultural events, as well as ethnic
restaurants are marvelous sources of food delights.
There is only one problem with this: Many ethnic foods have
their roots in ages when both mechanization and wealth were less
common. Foods that meant survival to our ancestors can lead to
early death for ourselves. Even dietary laws which were based on

Reduced Fat Meat Loaf
It is no secret that four legged meats, especially beef and pork
that were fattened in feedlots, comprise one of the highest
sources of fats in the American diet. If you want to keep some
of your recipes, but lower the fat by ten to fifty percent, you
can substitute some soy foods for part. This is easiest to do
with meals which can be made from ground beef.
I have yet to find an artificial meat cutlet, molded from tofu
and / or TSP/TVP = Textured Soy/Vegetable Protein, to taste very
good. But ... Read the rest of this entry »

Jesus Diet
You don't have to be Christian to benefit from the Jesus diet.
After all, Jesus was not a Christian. In fact, you don't even
need to believe in God.
Please note: This article has nothing to do with several "Jesus
Diet" hits found on google.com. Some of those provide food for
thought, while others are just plain foolish.
For numerous reasons, exact knowledge about Joshua ben Joseph,
the person, is rather scarce. The New Testament was assembled
several centuries after his death, and really was ... Read the rest of this entry »

In many instances quality research has shown just the
opposite'that a low fat diet, sometimes even a vegetarian diet,
can be harmful to your health. Although vegetarian and low-fat

What is the FDA's Mission Statement?
People want to trust that their so-called elected government is
doing the right thing when it passes regulations to enhance
public safety. When the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed in
1906 a new watchdog agency, The Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), was born. It would be many years before we as a nation
had such luxuries as refrigeration, sanitary food processing
standards, and good manufacturing processes (GMP), so in many
respects, this law was necessary. So, what exactly does the FDA
do? ... Read the rest of this entry »

Gratitude and Great Time Savers for Thanksgiving
Time To Be Grateful
I have been thinking a lot about being grateful, lately. And not
just because of the season, but for the many little things in my
life. I think it is because we have seen so many images of
people who have lost everything in the floods and hurricanes
this year that it has made me slow down and think about all of
the goodness in my life. From my family and great friends, to
biting into a fresh, crisp apple, I am trying to focus on the

Ghee-licious!
Chhhannnggg'.
The sound is familiar-- like a curtain of raindrops descending
on a tin roof. I am about to part the curtain and look out of
the window, when the aroma floats in. Conjuring images of
twilight, soft breeze, the cows coming home-- the bells jingling
around their necks' dinner laid out on a chatai (straw mat) on
the kitchen floor--light yellow rice peppered with mustard seeds
and soaked in home-made ghee'

Characteristics of beer brewing regions in the United States
b>Regional Characteristics of Craft Brewing.
It is surely apparent to even the most casual observer that the
selection of small batch, or micro brewed, beer has grown
steadily for many years. Early on in the craft brewing revival
it was widely speculated that the microbrew revolution was
merely a fad and once over, factory beers would once again be
the only beer left standing on the shelves. But these smaller
brewers have not only survived, they have thrived and
revitalized many brewing ... Read the rest of this entry »
