General tips

Kitchen Tip : Make sure stovetop electric coils work properly. A worn-out element is a real power drain.

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).

Good food alone cannot make you healthy and happy. You also need sunshine (for vitamin D and strong biorhythms), moderate exercise, relaxation, and love. A daily walk outdoors will give you the first three. Use a water-filter and nontoxic household products (available from us & elsewhere). Get mercury fillings out of your teeth. Avoid drugs and manmade chemicals whenever possible. If your health remains poor, find a doctor who will search for the root causes, not suppress the symptoms with drugs and surgery.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 Cucumber, peeled

1 c Jicama, julienned

1 c Firm, ripe papaya in 1/2

-inch cubes 1 c Ripe pineapple in 1/2 inch

-cubes, fresh or canned 1 Firm, tart apple, cut in

-1/2-inch cubes 1 Almost ripe mango, peeled,

-cubed 3 tb Dry-roasted peanuts

1 Or 2 fresh, hot red chiles,

-seeded, sliced 1/4 c Brown sugar

1 tb Tamarind paste dissolved in

-1/2 cup water, strained Buried way down in my stack of papers I found an article from the SF Chron entitled "Sumatran Food++Hotter than Hot". Sumatra is close to Indonesia and the Malay peninsula and there seems to be some similarity between the cuisines. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, scoop out and discard the seeds. Cut the halves in 1/4-inch thick half moons. Mix the cucumber with jicama and fruit. Prepare a sauce in a processor; first process the peanuts to a crunchy consistency, then add the chiles, sugar and tamarind liquid. The sauce should have texture so don' over process. Toss the sauce and fruit together. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a snack, or with an assortment of Sumatra dishes. Serves 6. San Francisco Chronicle, 3/9/88.
