General kitchen advice

Oven Tips : Fan-forced ovens cost 35% less to run than a conventional electric oven.


Buy Seasonal Food : Most food, from fruit to fish, has a season -a time when it is abundant and at its best. Knowledge about food's seasons was once essential to survival and became culturally ingrained over the centuries. Today, we have all but lost this accumulated wisdom, but it still matters! Buy local and seasonal to guarantee the best quality food you can get.


Weight loss info

The low-cal diet

Rather obviously, a low calorie weight loss regime depends on the fact that in order to diet successfully, then you have to eat fewer calories than you need for exercise.

Definition of a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If something has higher calories, then it will will give you more energy when it is converted.

Low-cal foods include lettuce, cabbage, watermelon, steaks, burgers and chilis, and low-fat cheese.

Ingredients And Procedures

12 Chicken breasts, boned

1/2 c Peanut butter

1/8 c Honey

1 ts Cumin

1 tb Mint, dried

1 pk G. Washington's Golden

-bouillon mix Bone chicken breasts if needed, keeping meat as nearly intact as possible. (It's much easier to rip the meat off the bones than any knifework I've tried to date.) Pull off shreds and gobbets. Put peanut butter, honey, cumin and mint in a bowl and mix well. Microwaving for 30 seconds or so thins it and makes it much easier to mix. Spread about 2 tsp of the peanut butter mix in a thin layer over each piece of breast meat. Place 1/12 of the shreds and gobbets on the breast and roll them up into a packet. Tie the packet shut with butcher's twine or fasten with a toothpick. Arrange the twelve packets in layers in the crock pot, being careful not to let any fall open. Stir water in to the bowl with any remaining peanut butter and mix well. Add the packet of bouillon and pour over the chicken packets. Add water as needed to cover packets to a depth of at least one inch. Turn crock pot on high for 5 or 6 hours. Remove packets from pot and let drain on a platter. All the chicken fat will have migrated to the top of the liquid, which I suspect would probably make a wonderful flavoring for soups and other dishes.
