Weekly Roundup - Living On Nothing Edition [Survival Today

Did you hear about the guy that lives on nothing? No seriously, he lives on zero dollars a day. Meet Daniel Suelo, who lives in a cave outside Moab, Utah. Suelo has no mortgage, no car payment, no debt of any kind. He also has no home, no car, no television, and absolutely no “creature comforts.” But he does have a lot of creatures, as in the mice and bugs that scurry about the cave floor he’s called home for the last three years.

To us, Suelo probably sounds a little extreme. Actually, he probably sounds very extreme. After all, I suspect most of you reading this are doing so under the protection of some sort of man-made shelter, and with some amount of money on your person, and probably a few needs for money, too. And who doesn’t need money unless they have completely unplugged from the grid? Still, it’s an amusing story about a guy who rejects all forms of consumerism as we know it.

George Washington’s Birthplace

Margaret (Peggy) Dening, Park Ranger at Virginia’s George Washington Birthplace National
Monument, explains, “On an 18th century plantation dinner usually consisted of soup, four meats and
trimmings. Imagine Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner on the table at one time! Imagine Virginia ham and
a large turkey, with meat stew, and later seafood. Twenty-four or more serving dishes would be arranged
on the dinner table. After dinner, the table was replenished with desserts. Waffles, pies, cakes, fruits in
season, cheeses made on the farm, tarts and puddings to choose from! One’s dessert plate could be enjoyed
either at the table or in front of the fire in their bed chamber.” www.npa.gov/gewa

Breakfast on the Plantation

“With such a tremendous amount of food prepared for an evening meal, it left plenty for breakfast
and for any unexpected visitors during the day. Meats were re-heated, spiced to disguise the flavor and
served in a gravy or sauce. One could have ham, eggs and toast, but naturally eggs were the only food not
left over from the previous day.”

Old Washington Recipes

Rules for exact measuring spoons and cups had not been standardized. The recipe might say a
small spoon or a large spoon or a teacup of this and that. Cooking was done by experience.

Polly Graham Latane and Joyce Graham in 1931 compiled a series of recipes from the family of
George Washington. In their book, THE OLD WASHINGTON RECIPES, an example of the popular bread
of the day was “Sweet Potatoe Bunns.”

The recipe:
“Boil and mash a potatoe, rub into it as much flour as will make it like bread –
add spice and sugar to taste, with a spoonful of yeast. When it has risen well –
work in a piece of Butter; bake it in small rolls, to be eaten Hot with butter,
either for Breakfast or Tea.”

Baking was done in an open stone hearth oven. No modern temperature controls existed and
therefore, the watchful eye of the cook made all the difference between success and failure.

Today the George Washington Birthplace is a Colonial Living History Farm with livestock and
crops raised by methods of the Colonial period..

Abraham Lincoln’s Youth

Pioneers who moved into Middle America in the early 1800s learned to eat off the land, especially
first year while waiting for their crops to grow and one of those pioneers was Thomas Lincoln, the father of
Abraham Lincoln. He moved his family from Kentucky to the community of Little Pigeon Creek, Indiana
in 1816.

During the first winter when Abraham was seven years old, his father fed the family mostly with
wild game. According to the staff at Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, this included venison, fowl,
squirrel, and rabbit. In addition, the land provided native foods, such as sassafras and herbs for tea,
5
Page 6
butternuts and black walnuts, wild rice, honey, and fruits such as paw-paw, persimmon, black and red
haws, wild grapes, strawberries and blackberries to eat fresh, dried, stewed or made into jams.

The most common crops of the time were beans, corn, pumpkins and turnips. In good times there was seed
for cucumbers, melons, asparagus, cabbage and onions.

Beans, pumpkin and corn were made into bread after the fashion of the Native Americans since
wheat was scarce. Bean bread was made by mixing one part of cooked beans with two parts of cornmeal,
moistened with a little water to make the dough stick together. Spoonfuls were dropped into boiling water
and cooked like dumplings.

Pumpkins were very popular because they could be eaten stewed, baked, or eaten raw and made
into syrup like molasses. A great favorite with the kids was “punkin” leather, dried strips of pumpkin that
was rolled into balls.

Generally pioneers had an ample supply of milk, butter, cheese and eggs. Most family farms had
apples, plums, cherries and pears. Breakfast could be anything from the above list, along with hot
johnnycakes, biscuits, honey and if the crop was good, potatoes.

Almost every farm had hogs, as did the Lincoln family. Abe Lincoln’s stepmother, Sarah, was
known as one of the best sausage makers in the area. She would pound the best cuts of meat available with
a wooden mallet and then mix-in various seasonings and herbs. The sausage was packed into crocks,
covered with lard and set away to ripen. Abe Lincoln could smell the sausage cooking when he was still a
mile away. Abe’s favorite breakfast was fried apples and sausage or salt pork, as well as biscuits with ham
and cream gravy.

Today the site is a Living Historical Farm with crop fields and a vegetable garden reminiscent of
the 1820s. www.nps.gov/libo

Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello

Thomas Jefferson wrote “The greatest service which can be rendered is to add a useful plant to its
culture.” He gathered and cultivated more than 250 vegetable varieties and 170 fruit varieties from around
the world.

Often Jefferson spoke of his vegetable garden, as it was a source for the family table, as well as an
experimental laboratory. In addition, he wrote about his garden and his many experiments, daily weather
information, harvesting dates, insect problems, and lots more.
When he received a new seed, he often gave it a new name and listed its place of origin. He also
described colors, such as a “yellow” carrot. It has been said, his favorite vegetable was the Leitch’s pea.

Today there are no commercial sources for this pea.

A major influence on his gardening practices was a book written by a Philadelphia nurseryman,
Bernard McMahon. The book provided him with directions. He learned how to manure a garden, mixing
plants such as lettuce and radishes together, and how to cultivate unusual vegetables. McMahon also sent
Jefferson new varieties of vegetable seeds.

Unfortunately his garden wasn’t cared for after his death. In 1979 the garden was recreated as it
might have existed between 1807 and 1814. Today, modern tools and organic fertilizers are used to
cultivate the garden.

Some 19
th
century techniques are still being used, such as staking pea plants on brush,
and the manuring of perennial vegetables. Also composted hills are made just like Jefferson did for
squashes, melons and beans.

Today’s garden does differ in the way Jefferson planted it and the number of vegetables grown.

For example in 1811, Jefferson planted 85 planting of vegetables throughout the year. Today the garden is
planted to give a fuller look. The gardeners have tried to plant the perennials in the exact location as
Jefferson did. This includes some of his favorites such as figs, cherries, asparagus, artichoke, strawberries
and his Tennis ball lettuce.

Between 1769 and 1814, Jefferson planted more than a thousand fruit trees, along with vineyards
and berries. It is believed he enjoyed peaches the most, as he planted 38 varieties and by 1811 had 160
peach trees. Jefferson dried the peaches and made peach brandy called “mobby,” He also planted thousands
of peach trees as an ornamental fence alongside his fields. This forest provided wood for his fireplaces.

Apples were another favorite of Jefferson with 18 varieties. Hewes’ Crab was a favorite small
apple for making cider. This juicy apple was best for making cider, as it squeezed like a wet sponge. Today,
this apple has disappeared and remains a mystery apple. All we have is information from Jefferson’s
writing.

6
Page 7
Other fruit trees include: 14 varieties of cheery, 12 of pear, 27 of plum, four nectarine, seven
almond, six apricot and a quince. In all Jefferson had 130 varieties of fruit trees. Many didn’t survive
because of climate and insects.

Jefferson has been described to be America’s first viticulturist, since he was a patron of wine and
wine growing. He tried to grow European wine grapes, but had lots of problems from pests. It is believed
he never made wine from his grapes. Today the vineyard has been replaced with pest resistant stock. In
1988, 300 bottles of white wine was produced from the harvest.

Monticello is located in Charlottesville, Virginia and is opened for tours of the main house and the
gardens. Special events are held throughout the year. Many are free, some have a fee. www.monticello,org

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Sour-Mash Whiskey

America’s Oldest Registered Distillery
In the early 1800s, Tennessee was still a wilderness. In this virgin land, the Joseph Daniel and the
Agnes Motlow families settled. One of Joseph’s son had ten children, one of which was Jasper Newton
Daniel, who became known as “Jack.” One of Jack’s sisters married into the Motlow family, thus the two
families became entwined in Tennessee history.

When Jack’s mother died, his father remarried and soon there were many more brothers and
sisters. This left little attention for Jack, so he moved in with a neighbor and at the age of seven went to
work for Dan Call, a preacher who also made whiskey.

Thus, Jack became interested in making whiskey and at the age of thirteen purchased Dan Call’s
whiskey business. Jack wanted to make the best whiskey possible, which he made from corn, rye and
barley malt. He used the old “yeasting back” process. This required the retention of a portion of mash from
the previous run in order to start a new match. This is referred to as the “sour-mash” batch. This is similar
to the making of sourdough bread.
Jack found an abundant source of limestone water flowing from a cave spring in a hollow near
Lynchburg. This water was iron free and flowed at a cool 56ºF. Along with this water, plus a special
charcoal mellowing process, Jack’s whiskey soon rose above all others.

Jack never married, hence didn’t have any children to leave his business to. He invited his favorite
nephew, Lem Motlow and when Jack’s health started to fail, he gave the distillery to Lem.

When Prohibition (1919) closed all distilleries, Lem went into the mule auction businesses.

Lynchburg became one of the largest mule trading centers in the South. After Prohibition was over (1933),
Lem resumed the operation until his death in 1947. He left the distillery to his four sons, who operated the
distillery until it sold in 1956 to the Brown-Forman Company.

Today, the Brown family, like the Motlows, respect the quality, tradition and the honored methods
of making whiskey so carefully laid down by Jack Daniel himself, nearly 140 years ago. Jack’s slogan
“Every day we make it, we’ll make it the best we can,” remains the goal of the distillery today.

The Skinny on French Fried Potatoes

In mid 19
th
century, Paris street venders would deep fat fry potatoes and sell them as pommes
frites. An Englishman visiting Paris in the 1880s tried them and thought they would go great with deep fat
fried fish. Thus fish and chips have been sold on London’s streets for more than 100 years. He sold them as
pommes de terre à la mode française, but the peoples called them “alamodes” for short. Like all good
things, the fried potato made its way to America, where today it is the most favorite potato recipe.

The only concern about fried foods is the oil that is absorbed during cooking, but there are ways to
get around this problem. Potatoes can be baked and they can be microwaved. Try one or both of the
following recipes and see which is your favorite.

Baked French Fries

1 potato per person
1/2 tablespoon oil per potato
Salt to taste
Paprika
7
Page 8
1. Cut potatoes into 1/4 inch strips. Leave the
skins on if desired. Keep cut potatoes in iced
water to keep them crisp.
2. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
3. Spread potato strips on a cookie sheet.
4. Sprinkle with oil and shake the pan to
distribute the oil over the potatoes,
5. Bake in a 450ºF preheated oven for about 45
minutes or until tender and golden brown,
turning frequently.
6. Sprinkle with paprika.

Microwave French Fries.

Same ingredients as the baked version
1. Prepare the same as the BAKED FRENCH
FRIES, except arrange on a microwave-safe
baking dish.
2. Cover with a paper towel.
3. Microwave on 100% power (HIGH) for about
20 minutes or until tender, stirring several times.
Microwave potatoes will not brown like the oven-baked.
NUTRITION FACTS per potatoes (both recipes have the same facts): 149 calories, 61 calories from fat, 6.9g total fat
(11%), .8g saturated fat (4%), zero cholesterol, a dash of salt produces zero sodium [if ½ teaspoon of salt is added 1072.6mg sodium
(45%)], 20.1g carbohydrates (7%), 1.8g fiber (7%), 2.3g protein (5%), zero vitamin A, 22mg vitamin C (37%), 8mg calcium (1%),
.9mg iron (5%), and 608 potassium.

How to Eat a French Fry

The British like them sprinkled with malt vinegar, a bit soggy for most American tastes. The
French like many Americas prefer only salt and pepper. The Belgians and the Dutch like to dip them in a
mustard mayonnaise mixture. The Spanish prefer only pepper. In Mexico, salsa is the number one choice.
Only in America is catsup doused on them. Other condiments include honey mustard, barbecue sauce, and
horseradish. The choice is yours!

Sweetness in a Roll

More than 150 years ago, Oliver R. Chase invented the first American candy machine, a lozenge
(hard circle candy) cutter. This marked the founding of the nation’s candy industry. With his brother, Silas
Edwin, Chase and Company was founded in 1847. Their first candies were little pastel candy wafers. You
know them as NECCO Wafers. And today, NECCO Wafers are the oldest, continuously manufactured
candy in America.

NECCO Wafers, packaged in rolls, are made with simple sugar, corn syrup and flavoring. The
wafers still come in the original eight flavors: orange, lemon, lime, clove, chocolate, cinnamon, licorice and
wintergreen. Chocolate is the most popular.

And wintergreen Wafers spark in the dark when broken.

An
entire package, about 40, has only 250 fat- free calories. The Wafers have an indefinite shelf life if kept
dry. The recipe has barely changed since their introduction.
NECCO Wafers have been to the polar-regions. First in 1913 by explorer Donald MacMillan, used
them for nutrition and as rewards for the Eskimo children.

Two tons of Wafers went with Admiral Byrd in
the 1930s on his expedition to the Antarctic. The Wafers gave him and his men added calories during their
two-year stay.

During World War II, the United States government requisitioned the company’s entire production
of NECCO Wafers. Since the Wafers don’t melt, it made them perfect for shipping overseas to the troops.

Along with eating them, they made good poker chips and were also used as checkers.
NECCO (New England Confectionery Company) also makes such nostalgic candy favorites as
Mary Janes, Peanut Butter Kisses, Mighty Malts, Haviland Thin Mints, Candy House Buttons, Sky Bar (the
first molded chocolate candy bar with four distinctly different centers), Sweet Talk, Clark Bar (the first five
cent candy bar), Canada Mints, Candy Cupboard, and Stark Candies.

NECCO is also the leading maker of Conversation Hearts (BE MINE), which were introduced in
1902 and are regularly updated with new mottoes, such as “FAX ME” and “E-MAIL ME.”

NECCO candies have uses in cooking. Two examples: the Wafers can be used to make roof tiles
on a gingerbread house; and Mary Janes can be frozen, then pulverized into a powder, added to cream for a
topping for pancakes and waffles. For other recipes request “Holiday Recipes” from NECCO, 254

Senator Knute Nelson Bean Soup

Makes 8 servings
Minnesota governor (1893) Knute Nelson was born in Levanger, Norway in 1843. He served as
U.S. Senator from 1895 until his death in 1923.
Senator Knute Nelson’s bean soup comes from Douglas County, Minnesota, home of the
Kensington Rune Stone. A rune is a symbol. The Rune Stone is a slab of stone which bears Scandinavian
runic letters. A Swedish farmer, Olof Ohman, found it on his farm near Kensington, Minnesota in 1898.
The runes tell of a party of Swedish and Norwegian Vikings who west west from their settlement in
Vinland (Canada). The inscription is dated 1362, which is 130 years before Columbus. Some researchers
claim it is a forgery. The stone is on display at the Chamber of Commerce office in Alexandria, Minnesota.

www.alexandriamn.org A replica is in the National Museum in Washington, D.C.

This is one of five different recipes, served in the Senate Restaurant, in Washington, D.C.

3 pounds navy beans

America’s Oldest Pizzeria

New York’s Lombardi’s Pizza Restaurant claims to be the first pizzeria in America. It was
established in 1897 just down the street from their present location. An old-world sort of charm pervades
the restaurant from the open kitchen in the back, the pleasant aromas of meat, cheese and sauce waft out
into the dining area and toward the many booths.

Unlike most pizza restaurants, Lombardi’s bakes their pizza in an “old-school” coal-fired oven.

This produces a smoky-flavored crust, which is black and crisp on the underside. This gives the crust a
slightly bitter, but pleasant taste, with a soft, yeasty interior. The thin, crusted pizza is topped with fresh
tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. The sauce is made from fresh tomatoes, and no rubbery cheese here. Even
the herbs, such as the basil, is fresh
During the winter months, you will enjoy the warmth from the oven. During the warm months it’s
best to head for the out door breezy deck.

The next time you are in New York, you can visit with them at 32 Spring Street.

100 Years of Animal Crackers

In the 1800s these crackers were imported from England. In 1902, Nabisco created the animal
cracker. To be correct, they are not crackers, but are cookies, and the package never did read “animal
crackers.” The official name is “Barnum’s Animals.”

Animal crackers, as most kids call them today, was an instant success thanks to Nabisco’s
marketing department. They put them in a package that looked like a circus cage wagon and attached a
string handle so kids could carry them to school and out to play. Originally the string handle was used to
hang the boxes on the Christmas tree. What the kids first called them has been forgotten with time. The
name animal crackers came from a song that Shirley Temple sang in her movie Curly Top, as she put them
in her soup. It is questionable if Shirley actually put these cookies in her soup, she probably used oyster
crackers. We will never know, since Shirley isn’t talking.

These tasteless, dry cookies have a dual purpose. Not only do kids enjoy eating them, but they
play with them in a pretend circus. Of course, these cookies teach kids its okay to bite the head off an
animal and laugh about it as the same time. Even, today, some kids prefer to bite the head off a particular
favorite. Maybe it was the lion, a camel, or maybe the monkey. What is your favorite animal? One might
think, with animal head chopping, some government agency would investigate what is going on. There
must be some tax dollars out there for a grant for such a study.

Think about it. Kids who chop many heads will become well rounded. Kids that eat animal
crackers slowly might think its okay to eat other things, maybe even their playmates. And then there are
those who refuse to eat them, since that is cruelty animals.

Yes, a research grant is available, go for it!

Did you know that over the years there have been 37 different animals depicted on the crackers?

That’s true, today there are only 17 in that famous little box. Wow! That means there are 20 animal cracker
animals that are extinct. From time to time, Nabisco creates new animals.

Now for the facts: A serving provides 10% of the daily requirement of calcium. Nabisco bakes
300,000 animals per hour at their Fair Lawn, New Jersey factory. Also, 8000 miles of string are used a
year. That adds up to 40-million packages of animal crackers a year. That’s means one package a year for
every man, woman and kid. That’s good business for a cracker that isn’t a cracker, but a cookie. Do your
duty, go chop off a head today. www.nabisco.com

Buffalo Wings

No, buffaloes don’t have wings. Buffalo “wings” is a famous recipe from Buffalo, New York. No
one knows for sure who first made Buffalo wings. One story is that a cook, Teressa Bellisimo, at the
Anchor Bar, received a shipment of chicken wings in 1964 by mistake. Not able to return them, she cut off
the tips, cut them at the joint, deep-fried them and covered with hot sauce, and served them with celery
sticks and the Anchor’s blue cheese house dressing.

Another story again has Teressa cooking these famous wings for a group of Catholics who were
staying away from meat on Friday. Hence, at the stroke of midnight, she served them these tasty wings.

10
Page 11
Probably the truth here is that she remembered making them at an earlier date with that unwanted shipment
of wings.

Still a third version is that the wings had been part of the city’s black culture for years and were
originally cooked by John Young and he covered the fried wings with his “mambo” sauce.

In any event, over several decades, Buffalo wings are now served all across America in restaurants
and bars, resulting in more than 400-million wings sold a year.

There are thousands of recipes, all boiling down to about 20 basic recipes. Try this recipe. It
probably the closest one that Teressa made at the Anchor Bar. www.anchorbar.com

Buffalo Wings Recipe
Makes 2 servings
1 cup Miracle Whip
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 blue cheese, crumbled

1. To make the sauce, combine thoroughly the
Miracle Whip, sour cream and blue cheese; set
aside.
2. In a little vegetable oil, sauté the onion and
garlic over medium heat until the onion is
transparent.
3. Add the juice, sauces, and salt; cook for 5
minutes; set aside.

small batches until brown, about 8 minutes.
5. Remove the wings from the frying pan and
combine with the tomato sauce mixture.
Dip the wings into the blue cheese dressing and eat with the celery sticks. The celery will help
reduce the heat in your mouth.
•
If the recipe is too hot for your taste, reduce the Tabasco sauce in half.
•
If you want a hotter Cajun version, add 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper.
•
Still not hot enough, add one to two tablespoons of chopped Jalapeño peppers for Mexican style.
•
Want nuclear heat, add one to two tablespoons of chopped Habañero peppers and serve with a fire
extinguisher.
WARNING: If you have ulcers, avoid eating Buffalo wings at all costs.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

July 13, 1937 is an important date in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It was the day that Vernon
Rudolph opened the door and presented a secret doughnut recipe he obtained from New Orleans. As first he
sold his doughnuts at local grocery stores that were delivered in a fleet of delivery trucks. People would
soon come by his building and asked if he would sell them direct. He cut a hole in the wall of his building
and started to sell them direct to customers.

In the 40s it wasn’t long before a small chain of family-owned Krispy Kreme stores opened. At
first each store made up the recipe from scratch. The problem was that the recipe wasn’t the same from
time to time and from store to store. Rudolph at that point built his own mixing plant, invented and built
doughnut-making equipment. The stores continue to grow throughout the south. In 1973 Rudolph died and
growth slowed until the company was sold. Today, under the direction of Beatrice Foods, stores are found
throughout America.

Krispy Kreme doughnuts are made with automatic machines. First the dough is mixed, then
formed into doughnuts. The yeast-raised dough is placed on a conveyor that slowly takes the formed
doughnut through a temperature controlled raising process.

When raised, the doughnut is dropped into a
river of hot oil. At one point the machine flips the doughnut over so it is cooked golden brown on each side.
Finally the fresh hot doughnut is glazed and handed hot to waiting customers. www.krispykreme.com

GOOD FOOD FOR GOOD HEALTH

Many of your favorite foods and recipes are healthier than you thought, including pizza, tacos and
ice cream.
All food is good food. Some foods are better than other foods. Some of the best tasting foods that
you enjoy the most probably should be enjoyed in moderation.
Foods such as pizza may be better for you than you thought.

After all, pizza is a good example of
the Food Guide Pyramid as it does contain grains (crust), vegetable (tomato sauce), dairy (cheese), meat
(pepperoni) and fat (the no-no group from the top of the pyramid). You can make that pizza healthier, by
using low fat cheeses, go easy on fatty meats, and add more vegetables.

It is easy to add sliced tomatoes, sliced green onions, sliced green bell pepper strips, and/or grated
carrots. Why not create a salad out of your pizza? Top the baked crust with tomato salsa and sprinkle with
shredded lettuce, add you favorite salad vegetables and top with fresh tomato dressing.

When you eat out, ask for substitutes. Most restaurants will let you replace French fries for
coleslaw or a dinner salad, and many also offer a fresh fruit bowl in place of cake or ice cream for dessert.

You might ask why replace the French fries.Isn’t a potato a vegetable? True, but the oil they are fried in,
only adds unwanted fat to your diet (see healthy recipes page 11). You can also request the French fries be
replace with a baked potato, but go easy on the butter and sour cream. By the way, plain nonfat yogurt is a
great substitute for sour cream.

If your yard has the space, plant a vegetable garden. Your local nursery will tell which are the
easiest seeds to plant. It doesn’t take much space for radishes, bush beans, carrots and lettuce. It has been
proven people eat more vegetables when they grow them themselves.

Fresh-Cut Produce

“Fresh-cut produce” means fruits or vegetables that have been trimmed and/or peeled and/or cut
into 100% usable product that is bagged or prepackaged to offer you high nutrition, convenience and flavor
while still maintaining its freshness. The process is a simple one. After the produce is harvested, it is
trimmed of all unusable parts. The produce is then washed, dried and put into special packaging to preserve
its freshness. The good news is this permits the package to have a shelf life of 10 to 14 days.
Fresh-cut produce is a convenient way for you to enjoy fresh, ready-to-eat produce in our fast-

Where Does All of My Favorite Foods Fit?

“Okay, I know I need to eat a variety of foods, but what about my favorite foods?”

What’s Best, Dried Beans or Meat?
You need both dried beans and meat for protein, since each has something the other doesn’t have.
Dried beans have fiber, meat doesn’t. Iron in meat is better absorbed in the body than dried beans.
However, eating meat with dried beans, your body will absorb more iron found in dried beans. An
important vitamin B-12 is not found in dried beans, only in meat. As you see, it’s a toss up.

What About Peanut Butter?

Like dried beans, nuts have no cholesterol, but they are higher in fat and calories than meat. Two
tablespoons of peanut butter has 16 grams of fat, as compared to 3 grams of fat in one ounce serving of lean
pork. And that peanut butter, again compared with meat, peanut butter has 190 calories to the 60 calories in
the meat.

The question, how much peanut butter do you eat as compared to pork? Most people eat about two
tablespoons of peanut butter on a sandwich, as compared to five to seven ounces of meat, which makes
calories in meat higher than the peanut butter, with about the same amount of fat in both.

If you compared the peanut butter with halibut, then the fish would be the best choice, but if you
compared peanut butter with an egg, stick with the peanut butter.

It’s a matter of comparing something with something else. . www.georgiapeanuts.org

Can I eat Ice Cream?

All dairy products provide a good source of calcium. It would be nice if ice cream was only frozen
flavored milk. But ice cream has sugar and is higher in fat than a glass of milk.

One-half cup of ice cream has about the same amount of calcium as 1/3 cup of milk. However, the
same amount of frozen yogurt has the same amount at the same size of milk. So, if you want a frozen
dessert, yogurt is a better choice. If you want ice cream, that’s okay, just cut out other sweets and fats that
day. www.idfa.org

Where do Tacos Fit?

Tacos contain both meat and vegetables. The tortilla shell belongs to the bread group, and when
topped with cheese, you’re in the dairy group as well. The only negative is that the taco shells are fried,
which means added fat (soft tacos are not fried, a better choice). By and large, a taco covers four bases. Just
don’t skip on the lettuce and tomatoes.

oven uncover the ham; sprinkle over it fine cracker
crumbs, leave uncovered and bake until a crisp brown.

BRUNSWICK STEW.

toes, half a pint each of turnips and carrots cut into
dice, one pint of tomatoes cut fine ; one parsnip, cut fine ;
two quarts of fine shredded cabbage, two quarts of
water, two tablespoons flour, two tablespoons butter,
two tablespoons salt, one level teaspoon pepper. All

fat. Put bones in stew pan, cover with water and cook
gently two hours. Mix flour with ^ cup water taken
from the 2 quarts and stir mixture into the water in
sauce pan, add salt and pepper ; cook 20 minutes. Place

cold water to bleach, drain thoroughly, make a sauce as
follows : 1 large tablespoon butter blended with a round-
ing tablespoon of flour, add ^ cup milk, i cup chicken
stock, or any other meat stock, put over the fire and let
come to a boil, stirring constantly. Cut chicken in small
pieces, line baking dish with cream, then layer of spa-
ghetti, then chicken, then a sprinkling of finely cut green
peppers, repeat; have the last layer spaghetti topped
with the sauce; cover with bread crumbs well sprinkled
with butter or with grated cheese. Bake until thoroughly

CHICKEN TIMBALE.
(Mrs. E. B. Peirce.)

1 pound of uncooked w^hite meat of chicken, breast
of two good sized hens required, one pint of white soft
bread crumbs, one cup of Pure Milk Company’s sweet
milk, two level teaspoons of salt, two salt spoons of pep-
per â€” white pepper preferred â€” whites of ten eggs. Put
the meat twice through the meat chopper, then rub it un-
til perfectly smooth. Put the bread and milk into a sauce
pan and stir over the fire until they form a smooth, soft
paste. Take from fire and when cold add gradually to,
the meat. Press the whole through a sieve, add salt and
pepper, then gradually the well-beaten whites of eggs.
Fill into greased timbale molds (or deep muffin rings)
and stand in a baking pan partly tilled with boiling wa-
ter. Bake in a moderately quick oven thirty minutes.
It is always wise to line the bottom of molds with a piece
of oiled paper. The sides can be loosened with a knife,
but if the bottom sticks the appearance of timbales are
spoiled. While these are cooking, make a plain white

bales and garnish with parsley. This same mixture may
be cooked in a large mold if preferred. This quantity is
sufficient to serve 12 persons.
