Ok – you’ve purchased the best set of knives you can afford and you’re asking – now what? How do I take care of my knives? Can’t I just throw them into the drawer and they’ll be ok? They’re dishwasher safe, aren’t they? [...] Are you hungry? Maybe not – you might actually be thirsty. Yes indeed, the centers of the brain that signal hunger are the same as those signalling thirst. But when you’re thirsty, what do you reach for – a plastic water bottle, a glass of water or something other than water? If it’s a store-bought plastic water bottle, you may be part of a larger problem, both to yourself and to the rest of the world. We’re all part of the problem, me included, at least until I read the statistics. [...] It seems more and more there’s a constant attack on our food, from one corner or another. If it’s not genetically-modified foods, it’s Salmonella or some other dangerous bacteria. So now the questions: Why all of a sudden are we seeing so many recalls: Why suddenly are fresh vegetables popping up with E. coli or Salmonella? I thought it only meat had the potential for E. coli.

[...] Went to the farmer’s market this weekend and found some beautiful fresh mushrooms! [...] By nature, being on a lake means fishing as well. My grandparents were fishing fanatics as were my grandmother’s sisters and their husbands; each year, they’d take trips up to the Upper Penninsula to go cohoe salmon fishing and bring back huge amounts of fish. So we had fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner most summer days and often into the rest of the year. [...] Why aren’t we angry about how restaurants are treating us, as if we’re cattle, eating anything put before us? Why aren’t we boycotting places that offer food no one should eat? Because too many of us don’t really care. [...] If you’re like me, you’re always battling your weight. I’ve gone through countless diets and thought I had found one several years ago that seemed to work well; I continued to eat junk food, drink soda and eat fast food, but I only ate half of what I made/ordered and saved the rest for the next meal. Boy was I fooling myself. [...] From the cookbook “The Low-Fat Good Food Cookbook” by Martin and Terri Katahn, published in 1994 by Norton & Company. I took the liberty of paring it down for one. [...] Did you know that the average family living on food stamps has $4.50 to spend each day on food, on average? That’s $135 per month. Out of that, they need to purchase milk, bread, meat, fruit, cereal … the typical things a household needs to be adequately fed. [...] |
