Yahoo ran an interesting article this morning indicating a rise in the number of survivalist communities cropping up around the country. I have been wondering myself how much of the recent energy crisis is causing people to do things like stockpile food and water, grow their own vegetables, etc. Could it be that there are many people out there stockpiling and their increased buying has caused food prices to increase? It’s an interesting theory, but I believe increased food prices have more to do with rising fuel prices as cost-to-market costs have increased and grocers are simply passing those increases along to the consumer. A recent stroll through the camping section of Wal-Mart did give me pause - what kinds of things are prudent to have on hand in the event of a worldwide shortage of food and/or fuel? Survivalist in Training
I’ve been interested in survival stories since I was a kid, which is funny considering I grew up in a city. Maybe that’s why the idea of living off the land appealed to me. My grandfather and I frequently took camping trips along the Blue Ridge Parkway and around the Smoky Mountains. Looking back, some of the best times we had were when we stayed at campgrounds without electricity hookups, because it forced us to use what we had to get by. My grandfather was well-prepared with a camp stove and lanterns (which ran off propane), and when the sun went to bed we usually did along with it. We played cards for entertainment, and in the absence of televisions, games, etc. we shared many great conversations. Survivalist in the Neighborhood
LOL! Next time, I know who to call in for reinforcements with this argument....er, discussion!
OK, I looked back in my saved threads and found this:
http://www.endtimesreport.com/Starvation_In_America.html
It is part of thread:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2132164/posts?q=1&;page=101
I hope the links come through.
Like where is the grain surplus or supply going to come from?
US has NO surplus corn - No surplus cheese - Oh, they do have some canola oil, and quite a few bales of cotton - what wheat they have is earmarked for foreign food aid.
Even if there is no economic crisis, there is a food crisis that is complicated by steady population growth -
Should I grow a long beard, wear a friars cloak put on sandals and carry a sign - 'The End is Near!'.
But my glass is really half FULL! 8~)
>>>>but what if there are food shortages? That’s actually pretty likely if supply lines break down<<<<
Nowadays, it is not only tropical foodstuffs such as sugar, coffee, chocolate, tea, and bananas that are shipped long distances to come to our tables, but also fruits and vegetables that once grew locally, in household gardens and on small farms. An apple imported to California from New Zealand is often less expensive than an apple from the historic apple-growing county of Sebastopol, just an hour away from San Francisco. Is it really less expensive in the long run?
It is estimated that the average American meal travels about 1500 miles to get from farm to plate. Why is this cause for concern? There are many reasons:
* This long-distance, large-scale transportation of food consumes large quantities of fossil fuels. It is estimated that we currently put almost 10 kcal of fossil fuel energy into our food system for every 1 kcal of energy we get as food.
* Transporting food over long distances also generates great quantities of carbon dioxide emissions. Some forms of transport are more polluting than others. Airfreight generates 50 times more CO2 than sea shipping. But sea shipping is slow, and in our increasing demand for fresh food, food is increasingly being shipped by faster - and more polluting — means.
* In order to transport food long distances, much of it is picked while still unripe and then gassed to “ripen” it after transport, or it is highly processed in factories using preservatives, irradiation, and other means to keep it stable for transport and sale. Scientists are experimenting with genetic modification to produce longer-lasting, less perishable produce.
Those of us who shop at farmers markets have begun to make the transition to supporting a local food system. At the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, you are able to buy fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy products, eggs, honey, beans and potatoes that are all grown within a couple of hundred miles of where you live. Living in California, with the Bay Area’s Mediterranean climate, the heat of the Central Valley, and the fog of the coast, an amazing array of foods can be grown here. We can eat locally and seasonally with very little sacrifice. Still, some crops simply aren’t appropriate for our climate. But we can begin to look at imported foods as things that supplement our local foods, rather than supplant them. We can make a coconut milk curry filled with local seasonal vegetables; we can put local cream into our imported coffee, we can dip local strawberries into melted good quality chocolate from cacao grown in the tropics. Rebuilding a local food system doesn’t mean you never eat anything that has flown overseas, it just means that you start with what is fresh, local and seasonal. Shopping at the farmers market, maintaining a home garden, or participating in a CSA are wonderful ways to support a local food system. At the same time we help build food security for future generations; feed ourselves and our families food that is delicious, fresh, and nutritious; and support small-scale local farmers as they work each day to steward our land.
Food Mile Comparisons
A major study called “Food, Fuel, and Freeways” recently put out by the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture in Iowa compiled data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to find out how far produce traveled to a Chicago “terminal market” — where brokers and wholesalers buy produce to sell to grocery stores and restaurants. We compared these figures to our Ferry Plaza Farmers Market to give you an idea of the difference!
- average distances from farm to market -
Terminal Market —Ferry Plaza Farmers Market
Apples 1,555 miles — 105 miles
Tomatoes1,369 miles — 117 miles
Grapes 2,143 miles — 151 miles
Beans 766 miles — 101 miles
Peaches 1,674 miles — 184 miles
Squash 781 miles — 98 miles
Greens 889 miles — 99 miles
Lettuce 2,055 miles — 102 miles
I tried to answer posts on this thread, thought I had sent the 3 that I had answered, but they did not post and my computer froze and I do not know why, so if I am missing, it is somthing computer related, of course this may not be posted either.
Love to all of you.

United States: FDA advises public of serious adverse event with psoriasis drug Raptiva [Feb 20 Rockville MD]—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued a public health advisory concerning three confirmed, and one possible report of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain infection, in patients using the psoriasis drug Raptiva (efalizumab). Three of those patients have died. All four patients were treated with the drug for more than three years. None of the patients were receiving other treatments that suppress the immune system.
The FDA is reviewing this latest information. The agency will take appropriate steps to:
* ensure that the risks of Raptiva do not outweigh its benefits;
* that patients prescribed Raptiva are clearly informed of the signs and symptoms of PML; and
* that health care professionals carefully monitor patients for the possible development of PML.
PML is caused by a virus that affects the central nervous system. PML usually occurs in people whose immune systems have been severely weakened. It leads to an irreversible decline in neurologic function and death. Symptoms may include unusual weakness, loss of coordination, changes in vision, difficulty speaking and personality changes. There is no known effective prevention or treatment.
Psoriasis is a chronic disease, for which a number of effective therapeutic options are available, including four other approved biologic agents, ultraviolent light therapy, and the drugs cyclosporine, acitretin, and methotrexate. Generally, treatment for psoriasis patients involves a rotation of therapies.
In October 2008, the product labeling for Raptiva was revised to highlight in a boxed warning the risks of life-threatening infections, including PML. At that time, the FDA directed Genentech, the manufacturer, to develop a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) to include a medication guide to educate patients about the drug’s risks.
The FDA strongly recommends that health care professionals carefully monitor patients on Raptiva, as well as those who have discontinued the drug, for any signs or symptoms of neurologic disease, and that they periodically reassess the benefits of continued treatment. Patients should be aware of the symptoms of PML and contact their health care professionals immediately if they experience any such symptoms.
Raptiva is a once-weekly injection approved for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic (whole body) therapy or phototherapy. The drug works by suppressing T-cells (blood cells that help fight infection) in the immune system. These cells, when activated, migrate to the skin and cause inflammation which results in the red, inflamed and scaly patches of skin, which is associated with psoriasis. By suppressing T-cells, Raptiva decreases the function of the immune system which increases a patient’s susceptibility to infections.
Maryland: Baltimore City Health dept announces citywide flu alert [Feb 20 Baltimore]—The Baltimore City Health Department has raised the City’s flu level from “Minimal Flu” to “Flu Alert.” This level means there is strong evidence that influenza is now spreading in Baltimore.
This evidence includes:
• A sustained increase in flu activity in the past two weeks. Sentinel labs are reporting 12% of tests as positive, up from about 6% in the previous reporting period.
• Acute care hospitals are reporting an increased number of positive flu tests among patients.
The Health Department is making several urgent recommendations to save lives during this flu season:
1. Get the flu vaccine! Call 311 or visit baltimorehealth.org for help locating a free vaccine clinic or call your doctor. The flu vaccine is especially recommended for children six months to five years, pregnant or breastfeeding women, persons over age 50 or with chronic medical conditions, and those who live in long term care facilities. Household contacts of these at-risk groups, including parents and caregivers of children less than 6 months, should also be vaccinated. There are three free flu vaccine clinics in Baltimore next week.
2. All eligible health care workers who have not yet been vaccinated should receive the flu vaccine as soon as possible.
3. Good hand hygiene is important. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water or use a hand sanitizer before meals, after coughing or sneezing or using the restrooms, and when talking with people who are ill.
4. Cough and sneeze into a sleeve or tissue, and keep hands away from mouth, nose and eyes.
5. When you or your child are ill, stay home whenever possible.
Because of the Flu Alert, the Health Department will increase its flu surveillance and publish weekly updates regarding 911 and emergency room chief complaints, hospital crowding, the number of positive influenza cases and flu outbreaks.
So far, there have been no signs of significant strain in the healthcare system related to flu.

Minnesota: PFOS contamination identified in fish from more metro area lakes [Feb 14 Minneapolis]—Twin Lake in Hennepin County (Robbinsdale-Crystal) has been found to have levels of a perfluorochemical (PFC) in the fish similar to the higher levels previously measured in lakes Calhoun, Elmo and Johanna. The PFOS (perfluorooctonate sulfate) levels in these fish place them in the one meal per month consumption category, given no impact from other contaminants.
“Our concern with consuming fish is any long-term exposure to contaminants,” said Patricia McCann, fish consumption advisory coordinator for the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). “Our advice for how often it is safe to eat fish is set at a level that is protective of human health over many years of continuous fish eating.” The advisory is updated annually to reflect new fish contaminant data.
MDH is in the process of analyzing the fish tissue data from this latest round of lake sampling by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for PFCs as well as data on additional lakes from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for mercury and polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs). A combined analysis of all of the data – mercury, PCBs and PFCs – is then compiled and formatted to develop a revised fish consumption advisory. MDH expects to receive additional PFC data from MPCA that will be incorporated into the new advisory as well. The updated advisory will be ready by the opening of fishing season.
The new PFC data are from 15 metro lakes including samples from the Minneapolis chain of lakes. The data is from an ongoing effort by MPCA and other agencies to investigate the extent of and sources of PFC contamination.
Since PFCs were first discovered in metro area lakes in 2007, fish from 55 lakes in the metro area have been tested for PFCs. McCann said there is a wide range in the levels of PFOS detected in these fish and some are undetectable.
“Currently the pattern of contamination is not understood and we are unable to predict which waters may have higher levels in the fish.” McCann said. “There are many unanswered questions and missing pieces to this puzzle. Unlike mercury and PCBs, we don’t yet understand the relationships between species or between lakes regarding PFCs. We have the most information about PFOS levels in bluegill, crappie and smallmouth bass, which account for 90 percent of the samples analyzed for PFCs. Most of the advice based on PFOS for these fish is one meal per week or unrestricted.”
Most health experts recommend eating fish two times per week. “People should choose to eat fish that can be eaten that often,” McCann said, “but it’s okay to include a meal of fish from the once-per-month category, too. Spacing out meals of fish over time is the way to keep exposure to a safe level.”
Fish are a good low-fat source of protein and contain many vitamins and minerals. Eating fish may help protect adults against cardiovascular disease. Pregnant women and women who may become pregnant should also eat fish because eating fish promotes eye and brain development in fetuses.
Scientists’ understanding of mercury and PCBs in fish throughout the state and about species and waters allows MDH to provide Statewide Safe Eating Guidelines as part of its fish consumption advisory program, McCann said. For example, we know that walleye, northern and bass are the species with the highest levels of mercury and we know that Lake Superior and the major river systems have PCB levels of concern, whereas the inland lakes do not. The guidelines can be found on the MDH Web site at http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/fish/index.html.
MDH also provides site-specific advice for eating fish from a lake or river where the contaminants have been measured. Site-specific advice can also be found on the MDH Web site at http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/fish/index.html as well as the DNR’s Lakefinder at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lakefind/index.html.
A variety of health effects occur in laboratory animals exposed to high doses of PFOS, the PFC that accumulates in fish. The most sensitive effects (i.e., effects observed at the lowest dose causing adverse effects) are decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL or good cholesterol) and changes in thyroid hormone levels in some animals. Special cleaning and cooking precautions used to reduce contaminants like PCBs that concentrate in fat are not effective with PFOS.
PFCs are a group of manmade chemicals that have been used for decades to make products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease and water. See http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/hazardous/topics/pfcshealth.html for more information.

TOOLS: NEWS & TERRORISM - COMMUNICATING IN A CRISIS
The National Academies has prepared, in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security, fact sheets on four types of terrorist attacks. Drawing on our many reviewed publications, the expertise of our members, and the knowledge of other esteemed authorities, the fact sheets provide reliable, objective information.
They were designed primarily for reporters as part of the project News and Terrorism: Communicating in a Crisis, though they will be helpful to anyone looking for a clear explanation of the fundamentals of science, engineering, and health related to such attacks.
These fact sheets are a product of the National Research Council Division on Earth and Life Studies.
Biological Attack (pdf file, 162 KB)
Where do biological agents originate?
What’s the difference between “infectious” and “contagious”?
How long after exposure will symptoms appear?
Chemical Attack (pdf file, 92 KB)
What are the different origins of toxic chemicals that could be used?
How do chemical toxicities vary?
What are the practical steps to take if there’s a chemical release?
Nuclear Attack (pdf file, 112 KB)
What is radioactive fallout, and how is it dangerous?
What are the short term and long term effects of radiation exposure?
What is the likely size of a nuclear explosion from an attack by terrorists?
Radiological Attack (pdf file, 94 KB)
What are radiological dispersal devices, a.k.a. “dirty bombs”?
How are they different from nuclear bombs?
What are their physical and psychological health effects?
Glad you could see the faces, some will not.
LOL, Try watching clouds, they form shapes too.
“They are out there, but it’s hit-and-miss,” says Paul Gepts of the University of California, Davis, a co-author of the new study.<<<
And soon even our heritage seeds will be contaminated.
During the cold war, I lived in San Diego, about once a month we were warned that there was only a 3 day supply of food in the stores and warehouses of San Diego.
And if an attack came, the Gov. would instantly take control and they would decide who ate.
Today, that would be the elites first, cops and doctors, next and that would be maybe.
I would be the last name on the list, who feeds someone old and sick.............?
People in Kentucky were without power for a couple of weeks after the last ice storm, so get an emergency preparedness kit going, and think about what it would take for long term.<<<
Good advice.
Thanks for reading the thread, I hope you will continue to join in.
DelaWhere, I ordered that model #921 this week from Red Hill General, it cost $209 now, shipped it to the Gulch where it's going to get quite the workout if the crops come in as planned!
Granny, I also ordered that Grain Grinder (Wonder Jr Grinder Deluxe from Walton Feed) after much research... It's much more versatile than the electric models, and cheaper as well ($210)!
So much to do, and miles to go!
My seeds from Heirloom finally got here today, I was getting antsy!

Recipe Hit List: A Medley Mix Of 12 Tasty Recipes
Posted By TipNut On February 12, 2009 @ 1:06 pm In Recipes | 2 Comments
Nothing too structured with this week’s Recipe Hit List, I have homemade breads, rolls, biscuits, cakes, and a lasagna and pot roast tossed in as well.
Quite a mix this week but they all look delicious!
A Medley Mix Of 12 Tasty Recipes
*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites
1. Picture of Homemade Sausage Rolls [kansasa.blogspot.com] - Tipnut.comSausage Roll Tutorial [1]: Mouth watering, flaky, tender, as spicy as you like, delicious! I used to use whole sausages and pie pastry for my sausage rolls but Hubby hates sausage (I know weird) and Dallas didn’t like pie pastry on the rolls. I had to come up with something that both of them liked. I now use ground pork and puff pastry and the two of them both love this recipe, it’s a winner! Recipe tutorial From Kansas A, Canadian Crafter.
2. Baked Sandwiches [2]: Made with surprisingly affordable frozen bread dough, this is a throw together recipe which only requires time in terms of waiting for your dough to thaw and rise. I dreamed this up some years back and it was an instant hit. I encourage you to adapt this recipe to your own family, adding vegetables and spices that you enjoy in order to make it truly your own. My version is very simple (to please little ones who like it that way!) and is a great starting place for you. This sandwich is gorgeous when its baked and impressive when cut but when you taste how wonderful it is, you’ll be shaking your head at the ease of such a filling meal! Found at Southern Plate.
3. How To Make Sourdough Starter & Making Sourdough Grandmother Bread [3]: Who doesn’t love sourdough bread? You can make it at home easily–with Grandmother Bread. Most of us think of San Francisco-style sourdough when we hear the words sourdough bread, but sourdough is a type of riser, not a type of bread, which adds a distinctively tangy flavor to the end product. Any bread recipe can be converted to sourdough. Recipe & instructions from Chickens In The Road.
4. Paprika Cheddar Drop Biscuits [4]: About the biscuits: super easy, delicately spiced with sweet paprika from Spain (thank you Rachel!) and dotted with melted cheddar. I measured out each biscuit with a half cup scoop and they were absolutely GIANT! Next time I might try a 1/4-cup of 1/3-cup measuring scoop to dollop out the batter for more reasonable biscuits. These pretties would be just lovely for breakfast with a fried egg and sliced tomato, or with an equally giant pot of Turkey Chili. You could always just go the Joy the Baker route and plow through four biscuits while standing in your kitchen reading the newest issue of Bon Appetit magazine. You’ve got options, just make these biscuits part of your plan. Recipe from Joy The Baker.
5. Easy French Bread [5]: This is a delicious and frugal alternative to store bought French bread! You can even make it with whole wheat! We brought it to a friend’s house for dinner last night and it received unending rave reviews!
Original recipe from More with Less, but I made it more healthy. Recipe from Passionate Homemaking.
6. Homemade Garlic Buns [6]: From the photo, these tasty buns look almost like mini baguettes with a hard crisp crust. In reality, they taste just like soft dinner rolls. Recipe found at Happy Home Baking.
7. Buttermilk Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting [7]: This has to be one of my favorite cakes. It’s remarkably tender and spicy—and covered in gloriously tangy cream-cheese and butter frosting. And the best part? It’s ridiculously easy to make. Combine the dry ingredients, beat in the wet ingredients, pop it in the oven and…voila! Slather it with rich frosting, slice off a big hunk and enjoy with a piping hot cup of coffee. Recipe from The Hungry Mouse.
8. Meyer Lemon and Orange Flower Yogurt Cake [8]: Recipe from Brooklyn Farmhouse.
9. Spiced Cranberry Bundt Cake [9]: This bundt bakes into a beautiful ring, drizzled with a shine of orangey glaze. It slices into compact wedges that are dotted with cranberries and slivers of toasted almonds. And the first bite will delight you, with its contrasts of flavors—sweet, lightly spicy, a little citrusy and sometimes tart—and textures—the moist, tender cake; the yielding, juicy cranberries; the bits of crunchy almond. It also reminded me that my mother is always right (in the kitchen, at least!). Recipe found at Leave It To My Mom.
10. Sausage-Vegetable Lasagna [10]: Lasagna can seem like a pain to make, but really it’s so easy and really worth it. This recipe is special because it gets its great flavors from an array of vegetables, fresh parsley and sausage. It’s not too high in calories and fat as I used very few noodles, part-skim ricotta cheese and just a small amount of shredded cheese for such a large dish. If you don’t prefer sausage, use lean ground beef or ground turkey. You can make this recipe ahead. It’s perfect for company or for weeknight with leftovers for the next day. Recipe from Ingredients, Inc.
11. Cheddar Dill Cornbread [11]: Recipe from Ina Garten, Food Network.
12. Italian Pot Roast Recipe [12]: Recipe from Taste of Home.

Recipe Hit List: 12 Veggie Sides To Try
Posted By TipNut On November 13, 2008 @ 1:09 pm In Recipes | 2 Comments
I find myself making the same boring vegetables prepared the same boring way since my guys are so veggie-fussy, but occasionally I get in the mood to mix things up. Sometimes that means a new veggie fave is found, or at least one that everyone will eat just fine. So this week I went on a veggie hunt…here are the dishes I’m tempted to try:
12 Veggie Sides To Try
*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites
1. Apricot Glazed Sweet Potatoes [tasteofhome.com] - Tipnut.comApricot-Glazed Sweet Potatoes Recipe [1]: I usually serve this as a side dish with poultry or pork. As the wonderful aroma wafts through the house, I’m always asked, “Is dinner ready yet?” So don’t be surprised if your gang comes to the table extra-hungry. Recipe from Taste Of Home.
2. How To Make Squash Casserole [2]: Squash casserole is one of those dishes that varies so widely in recipes. I swear there are at least a hundred different variations out there. This one is my favorite. Gooey cheese, buttery cracker crumbs adding a hint of crunch, and the taste of garden fresh squash - even though I do use frozen most of the time. This is a cinch to make and very filling for a side dish. Recipe from Southern Plate.
3. How To Make Glazed Carrots [3]: Wait! Before you hit the “Back” button on your browser, these are not the mushy, syrupy pieces of sad that you remember from your high school cafeteria. They’re a little sweet, a little salty, and still have a bit of texture to them. Recipe from How To Cook Like Your Grandmother.
4. Vegetable Curry [4]: I cooked this vegetarian dish for my family Doctor. She told me she tried this curry at a recently open Indian & Malay Kitchen here in Exton but it was too bad they closed down the Malay kitchen not long after that. Since she like it so much I told her I will cook some for her and brought it to her on Tuesday. She told me it taste even better than the one she had at the restaurant :). Recipe from My Kitchen Snippets.
5. Butternut Squash Risotto [5]: First, there are the sweet, peppery cubes of roasted butternut squash. Delicious on their own. But then you start simmering a little pot of chicken stock and sautéeing the pancetta and minced shallots in melted butter, and the smells mingling in the kitchen are nothing short of intoxicating. After about 10 minutes, you add the Arborio rice and a little champagne. (The recipe calls for dry white wine, but we are rich in champagne – one of the many benefits of getting married on New Year’s Eve.) And then you ask yourself, “What would Ina do?,” and pour yourself a glass. Recipe from Ezra Pound Cake.
6. Spinach Rice Casserole [6]: An easy baked side dish of spinach, rice, and cheese. Recipe from Tammy’s Recipes.
7. Roasted Cauliflower [7]: This is a simple and delicious side dish. The mayonnaise sounds odd, but something about the flavor marries extremely well with the sometimes bland cauliflower, and it caramelizes beautifully. No one will have any idea there is mayonnaise in this recipe and cauliflower haters will have a hard time finding fault with this preparation. Recipe from Kirsten’s Home Cooking.
8. Roasted Greek Potatoes [8]: I have always kept the ingredients the same, but have played a lot with the cooking times, and amount of time covered/uncovered to achieve just that right combination of crispy and juicy. I love potatoes in just about any form, but this is one of my favorites because I think they come out just like those yummy potatoes you get when you order Greek takeout. Recipe from Janet Is Hungry.
9. Night Before Broccoli Casserole [9]: Night Before Broccoli Casserole is a great way to get those veggies. From the Rumpke Family Cookbook.
10. Roasted Asparagus [10]: I love roasting any sort of vegetables, but asparagus is really the best when prepared this way. Play around with the herbs and spices you use as well. I have tried several different ways but the recipe below is Chuck’s favorite. Some favorite variations of mine include adding minced garlic when you add the salt and pepper, and than grating some Parmesan cheese over the asparagus as soon as you take it out of the oven. Recipe found at Cooking This and That.
11. Sautéed Broccoli with Garlic, Orange, Oyster Sauce [11]: A keeper! The basic technique is a great way to skillet-steam/sauté broccoli, then add other flavorings. I will definitely do again in other ways. Frozen broccoli crowns might work too. Recipe found at A Veggie Venture.
12. Glazed Roasted Vegetables [12]: Recipe found at Better Homes & Gardens.
And of course, mashed potatoes are always a big hit! Check out today’s earlier post Mashed Potatoes Tip List [13] for ideas on how to jazz them up a bit.

Mashed Potatoes Tip List
Posted By TipNut On November 13, 2008 @ 10:31 am In Food Tips | 6 Comments
Picture of Mashed Potatoes - Tipnut.comTo Prepare:
* Cut potatoes into small even pieces so that they cook quickly & evenly. Small pieces of cooked potato mash up easier than large pieces.
* Cover potatoes with cold water then place on stove to cook. Add salt once the water starts boiling. Starting the potatoes in cold water will help them cook evenly (if you start with boiling or hot water, the outer potato cooks faster and you’ll have chunks of mush floating in the water).
* Cook until potatoes are just tender. Remove from heat and drain immediately. If you cook them too long, they become water logged and turn into tasteless, runny mashed potatoes (glop). If you don’t cook them long enough, the mashed potatoes can have hard lumps.
* Once you’ve drained the potatoes well, place the pot of potatoes back on the stove on low heat (lid off) to remove even more of the moisture, just a couple minutes will do and shake the pot frequently so the potatoes won’t burn.
* You can mash potatoes with a potato masher, a potato ricer or a blender. It is possible to overmix with a blender so don’t overdo it. Mash potatoes to desired consistency before adding any ingredients, this will help prevent lumps.
* When adding cold ingredients like milk or butter, bring them to room temperature first, this helps prevents lumps. Some suggest to heat the milk first (just warm to near boil) which draws an added flavor from the potatoes and makes a creamier texture.
* Add a healthy pinch of baking soda along with the milk to help fluff up the potatoes (another option is baking powder mentioned in 45 Cooking & Baking Tips [1]).
* Instead of the potato masher, use a fork or spoon to stir potatoes once you start adding ingredients, this helps cream the potatoes nicely. I prefer using a wooden spoon at this stage.
How Many Potatoes Do You Need?
* Count on 3 medium potatoes making about 2 cups of mashed. I prefer making 2 cups per person (adults) so there’s lots to go around plus leftovers.
Flavor Twists:
* When cooking, add an onion (cut in quarters) or clove of garlic to the water, remove once potatoes are cooked.
* For a touch of tang, try buttermilk instead of regular milk.
* For richer mashed potatoes, try whipping cream instead of milk, whip first until stiff then mix in.
* Try whole milk or half and half for richer tasting potatoes.
* Mix in some cream cheese for creamy potatoes with added flavor.
* Try adding sour cream for creamy potatoes.
* Mix in fresh herbs like chives, dill, parsley for added flavor.
* Try mixing in roasted garlic for an easy garlic mashed potatoes dish.
* Try adding cheeses like Parmesan, shredded Cheddar.
* Dare I say it? Top your mashed potatoes with freshly cooked bacon bits.
* Try flavoring your butter with garlic or lemon before adding to mashed potatoes. Melt the butter with minced garlic or lemon peel, heat for a couple minutes then add to potatoes.
Keeping Them Warm:
* You can make the mashed potatoes ahead of time and keep them in the slow cooker on low heat, this will keep the potatoes nicely for a few hours (mentioned in 50 Quick Tips For The Kitchen [2]).
* If the potatoes are done before the rest of the meal is ready, prepare them then cover with a towel. This should keep the potatoes warm for about 1/2 hour.
Leftover Mashed Potato Ideas:
* Fry them up with onions the next day.
* For handy individual portions, freeze in muffin tins, pop out then place in airtight bags and place in the freezer. Remove what you need for meals.
* Use as a tasty topping for meat pies.
* Mix in one egg white, place potatoes in a buttered casserole dish and top with a bread crumb crust and shredded or Parmesan cheese. Heat in the oven and serve.
