Food tips

Kitchen Tip : Even though they are like magnets for spills, keep stovetop reflectors clean. They will reflect heat better and save energy. If you need new ones, buy quality. The best on the market can save as much as 1/3 of the energy used with inferior reflectors.


Oven Tips : Check the seal on your oven door for wear. Even a small tear or gap can allow heat to wander away from your meal. A clean seal also provides better heat retention.


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).

Ingredients And Procedures

1 1/2 c Dry shiitake mushrooms

2 lg Yellow onions

6 Stalks celery

6 Carrots

1 pk Quaker Quick Barley

8 c Water

2 T Michelle's Chicken Style

Seasoning 1 t Salt or to taste

Rinse the shiitake mushrooms and set them aside to soak in plenty of water. They will need about an hour to soak. Chop the onions, celery, and carrots. Put the vegetables and Michelle's seasoning in a large stock pot with the water. When the mushrooms are soft, snip them into smaller pieces (approx. a square inch each) and drop them in the pot. Bring the pot to a boil, turn down to simmer. Cook until the carrots just start to soften. Add barley and simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Taste the broth occasionally while cooking, add salt to taste and more of Michelle's seasoning if needed.
