Food tips

Buy Local Food : It’s easy to take locally abundant foods for granted when they’re in season, but you can enjoy many locally produced foods out of season by stocking up. Storing big baskets of hazelnuts (in the Northwest) or pecans (in the Southeast) will come naturally if you start thinking like a squirrel. Look for foods that keep well, such as nuts, honey, winter squash and sweet potatoes and stock up.

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. Does this matter, in an age where technology can bring us anything we want to eat, whenever we want it?

Buy Local Food : Begin by taking baby steps, such as committing to spend £10 pounds a week on locally grown foods.

Safety in the kitchen

Don't let yourself be distracted while cooking.
Turn saucepan handles so they don't stick out (and aren't over another ring).

Ingredients And Procedures

2/3 c TVP

1/2 c Hot water

1 tb Chopped or grated ginger

Root 2 tb Soy sauce

1 To 2 Tbsp hot bean paste

1/2 ts Salt (optional)

3 1/2 oz Bean thread noodles

2 c Veggie broth or water (avoid

Broth that may have a sweet Taste) Pour the boiling water over the TVP and let it sit for 10 minutes. Saute the gingerroot in a very small anount of oil or other liquid. Add the soy sauce, bean paste, salt and TVP. Cook very very gently and stir frequently as it burns easily. Cook about 5 minutes and set aside. Cook the bean threads in the broth until the broth has been absorbed by the noodles. Add the noodles to the TVP mixture and stir until blended evenly...ie. all the "ants" are distributed throughout. Enjoy! Source: This is a dish that was a favorite at our local Chineses eatery. I used to make it with ground turkey (before I saw the light) and have found that TVP works just as well. It's hot and spicy...delicious and just a little different. Posted by Ann Christmann to the VEGLIFE Digest - 5 Apr 1995 to 6 Apr 1995. 1.80?
