General kitchen advice

Kitchen Tip : Using a pressure cooker saves up to two-thirds of the cooking time, saves energy, and preserves the goodness in your food.

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 : Bringing more local produce into your kitchen may leave you wondering what to do with unusual things such as Jerusalem artichokes, kohlrabi or mizuna. “I get requests all the time from CSAs asking permission to put my recipes into their delivery boxes,” Madison says. “I always say yes.” Get a good produce-based cookbook and don’t be reluctant to ask for recipe ideas from growers.

Ingredients And Procedures

3 c Vanilla wafer crumbs

1/2 c Finely chopped pecans

1/2 c Unsweetened cocoa

2 c Confectioner's sugar

1/2 c Bourbon

3 tb Light corn syrup

Salt, if desired 1. Blend together the crumbs, nuts, cocoa, 1 cup confectioner's

sugar, Bourbon, corn syrup, and a dash of salt. Form into small balls the size of walnuts. 2. Roll each ball in the remaining 1 cup confectioner's sugar and

place on a cookie sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Note: It is traditional in the South to use Bourbon, but rye may also be used. This confection -- or at least a version of it -- was an early Southern version of those chocolate truffles that became the rage for chocolate lovers during the 1980s in this country. The whiskey balls are made, of course, with cocoa rather than chocolate. ~From Craig Claiborne's "Southern Cooking" ~Lovingly hacked in for the FIDO Cooking Echo by Wesley Pitts, the Bourbon Cowboy.
