Food and cooking tips

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 : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).

Weight loss info

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a weight reduction diet, however many zone diet followers believe that they seem to lose weight by following this system.
The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to limit the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts one's body in a balanced state that is an awful lot more wholesome than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The most interesting method of the zone system is to control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils.

Ingredients And Procedures

1/4 c Butter (or margarine,

-if you must) 1/2 c Sugar

2/3 c Milk

1 c Flour

2 t Baking powder

13 oz Tart cherries

-(one normal U.S. can) 2 T Sugar (to sweeten

-and thicken; use less -or more as needed) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Drain cherries, saving liquid. Cream butter and sugar together. Alternately add in milk and sifted dry ingredients. Pour into a buttered and floured casserole dish. Top evenly with cherries. Sprinkle sugar on top and cover with saved liquid/juice. Bake 45-50 minutes. The batter will expand and surround the cherries so they're evenly mixed throughout the cobbler. The juice will congeal to fruity and pudding-like. Serve warm topped with cream, milk or ice cream. (I prefer milk). If any is left, it's good cold, too. NOTES: * An extremely quick cherry cobbler dessert -- This recipe came from a PTA recipe collection from my Aunt's school a number of years ago. It's not a true, classic cobbler, but I think it's better. My favorite dessert! * As the name implies, this is a very quick recipe to make. Depending on how soft the butter is to start with, or whether or if you use a food processor (I don't, but it should work) this recipe takes only 5 to 10 minutes to mix. * You can use any unsweetened canned fruit for this recipe. You can also use frozen fruit, by thawing it before adding to the pan. Berries or peaches are standard substitutes. Yesterday I made one with crushed pineapple. I used brown, rather than white sugar atop the fruit. It tasted very much like pineapple upside down cake (though the appearance was a bit different). : Difficulty: easy, I've been making this since I was about 8 or 9. : Time: 5 minutes preparation, 45 minutes cooking. : Precision: approximate measurement OK. : Suzanne Barnett-Scott : Calcomp/Sanders Display Products, Scottsdale, Arizona : suze@terak.UUCP : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
