Food tips

Buy Local Food : If you were to turn back the clock 100 years, what would gardeners in your area be growing? Try regional heirloom varieties of garden standbys such as beans, squash, tomatoes and melons, which were selected for their flavors and reliability in the days when personal survival often depended upon a garden’s success. Appalachian “greasy” beans or creamy New England-bred butternut squash can help open the door to great flavors from the past.


Buy Local Food : Strawberries, blueberries and many other kinds of fruit often are available from farms that allow you to do the harvesting (or not, if you prefer to pay for the cost of picking). Many fruits are easy to freeze, and apples will keep all winter in a cool corner of the garage.

Ingredients And Procedures

6 Eggs, slightly beaten

1/2 pt (1 cup) whipping cream

1 c Orange juice

1 To 1 1/2 ounces Orange

-Liqueur 1 Loaf French Bread

Butter, margarine or cooking -oil Powdered sugar * Mix eggs, whipping cream and orange juice. Then add liqueur to taste. Pour into large casserole or glass baking dish. Remove ends from the bread and cut loaf into 12-15 slices, each about 3/4" thick. Place slices in egg mixture and let stand for a few minutes to absorb some of the liquid; then turn so the other side of the bread can absorb some of the mixture. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to prepare the French Toast. Some cooks soak the bread in the egg mixture overnight, refrigerated so that it becomes almost custardlike in texture. * Preheat heavy skillet or electric griddle to 325-350 degrees. Melt butter, margarine or place oil in skillet. Place four or five slices in to cook, but do not crowd. Cook on one side until golden brown, turn and cook on the other side. Remove and keep warm while you cook remaining slices, adding more oil or butter as needed. Place toast on serving plates and dust with powered sugar. Garnish with fresh fruit, if desired, and serve with honey, jam or syrup of your choice. Yields 4-5 Serv.
