Cooking tips

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).

Buy Local Food : Take a child shopping with you, pick up one of the offending products and say quite loudly "Well we’re not buying that, think of the energy it’s used up just getting here!"

Ingredients And Procedures

4 Ripe bananas, peeled, halved

2 ts Butter (or margarine)

Choose yellow (firm-ripe) bananas. Cut them in half crosswise. Spray a small square nonstick cake pan with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put the butter in the pan; place in the hot oven just long enough for butter to melt. Place the bananas in the pan and tilt the pan so the bananas roll and become lightly coated with butter. Place the pan on the bottom oven shelf and bake only 5 minutes, turning the bananas once, until just browned. Serve with salt and pepper as a starchy side dish, or sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar substitute as a dessert. Eight servings, 60 calories each.
