General cooking tips

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.

If you're eating foods out of season, it's likely that they have come a long way - try to eat food that is both locally produced and can be found at that time of year, locally!

Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.

Ingredients And Procedures

1/4 c Butter

1 c Sugar

1/4 c Brandy

1 c Whole pecans

1 Unbaked 9-inch pie shell

Preheat the oven to 350F. Beat the butter with an electric mixer to soften. Gradually add the sugar, then the eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Beat in the corn syrup and brandy until well blended. Pour into the pie shell and sprinkle with the pecans. Bake 45-50 minutes, or until set around the edges. The filling will be puffy.
