Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : Cultivate an awareness of how far your food travels. When Rich Pirog, Food Systems Program Leader for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, tracked the miles traveled for 16 types of produce, he found that locally sourced fruits and vegetables such as apples, lettuce and tomatoes traveled an average of 56 miles, compared to 1,494 miles — nearly 27 times farther — for the same fruits and vegetables delivered through conventional retail channels. Things get stickier with combination foods, strawberry yogurt for example. Pirog came up with 2,216 miles by adding up the distance traveled for the yogurt’s milk, sugar and strawberries. That figure could be slashed by 90 percent if you buy plain yogurt and stir in some locally grown honey and fruit.


Try Organic Food : Organically-grown food costs more, but you get what you pay for. It is 2-10 times richer in minerals, contains no pesticides, and tastes better. It is better for you, your planet, and your palate. Wild unhybridized food is what your body was designed for, before our ancestors started messing with Mother Nature. Take it easy with highly hybridized fruits (bananas, seedless anything) and vegetables (carrots, beets, white potatoes).

Ingredients And Procedures
Ingredients
1duck
1orange marmalade
1orange juice concentrate
1tablespooncornstarch
1water

Directions:

Turn duck upside-down and prick through the skin into the fat all over the bottom of the duck so the fat will drain. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the duck in a little water around 30 minutes. (Grab a leg; if it moves, it is tender enough.) Keep duck covered with foil, but baste often.

Make the glaze of equal parts marmalade and orange juice concentrate, thawed. Can add a little sugar to make it stick better; glaze is prettier if you add about 1 tb. cornstarch dissolved in a little water.
