Cooking advice

Have a Local Food Party : Instead of counting time or distance, simply enjoy the pleasures of local food by organizing a potluck meal in which everything must be local. Keep your fingers crossed that someone will splurge on handmade goat cheese, and don’t forget some local wine, beer or juice. If you’re organizing a big catered event, the Society for Nutrition Education has a downloadable brochure to help you line up local food resources.


Buying an Oven : In gas appliances, look for blue flames; yellow flames indicate the gas is burning inefficiently and an adjustment may be needed. Consult your manufacturer or your local utility.

Diet info

Low calorie diet

Rather obviously, the low-cal diet states that if you want to diet successfully, it is important to consume fewer calories than you need.

So what is a calorie?
A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. The calorie is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If something has higher calories, then it will turn into more energy to use when your body digests it.

Low calorie foods include lettuce, mushrooms, water melon, beef, and white eggs.
