Crock Pot Rice Pudding with Fruit
Posted by: “momsrecipes”
Crock Pot Rice Pudding with Fruit
1/2 gal. milk (*see note)
1 c. uncooked rice
1 c. sugar
3 T. cold margarine
1/4 tsp. salt, optional
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. dried apricots or peaches, finely minced
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
(*Use half nonfat and half whole milk or all nonfat for lower fat
content. Can substitute evaporated milk for a very rich flavor.)
The cooking time will vary greatly, anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.
The longer it cooks, the thicker it will be. It is important to have the dried
apricots minced. Put all ingredients into the crockpot. Stir to blend well.
Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours; stir once after about an hour. Or, cook
on high for the first 30 minutes, turn to low and cook as long as desired.
Check after the first 2 hours of low cooking and stir. If the rice is not
absorbing the milk quickly enough, turn the crockpot up to high again. Keep
cover on at all times.
Crockpot temperatures vary widely among different brands. Only experimentation
can tell you the correct amount of time for cooking in your crockpot. Rarely
will a crockpot recipe fail, though, as the long, slow cooking process does not
require precise timing.

Chopped Tomato Salsa
Almost a salad, this colorful, uncooked salsa is often found as a
side on
almost any Mexican restaurant platter. For that reason, it’s what
most people
think of when you say “salsa.” It’s fresh, attractive, and worthy
of the
attention.
1 pound ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 medium red or white onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 Serrano chile, minced (1 tablespoon)
Salt
1. Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and toss to blend
well.
Season with salt to taste. Let stand at room temperature for at
least 30
minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Tip: This salsa is much better when all the ingredients are
chopped with a
knife as opposed to a food processor. The food processor turns
everything into
a uniform pink mass. This salsa can be made up to 1 hour ahead.
Makes about 2
cups.

[1] European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assessment

EFSA assesses possible risks related to melamine in composite foods from China
Following recent events in China, the European Commission asked the
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to provide urgent scientific
advice on health risks for European consumers related to the possible
presence of melamine(1) in composite foods containing milk or milk
products originating from China.
EFSA’s scientists today [25 Sep 2008] issued a statement saying that
if adults in Europe were to consume chocolates and biscuits
containing contaminated milk powder, they would not exceed the TDI
(tolerable daily intake) of 0.5 mg/kg body weight, even in worst case
scenarios(2).
Children with a mean consumption of biscuits, milk toffee, and
chocolate made with such milk powder would also not exceed the TDI.
However, in worst-case scenarios with the highest level of
contamination, children with high daily consumption of milk toffee,
chocolate, or biscuits containing high levels of milk powder would
exceed the TDI. Children who consume both such biscuits and chocolate
could potentially exceed the TDI by up to more than 3 times.
High levels of melamine can primarily affect the kidneys. EFSA
applied the TDI of 0.5 mg/kg body weight for melamine in a specific
case of contamination in 2007(3).
The Commission requested EFSA to focus its assessment on biscuits and
chocolate, which contain milk powder as such products can be imported
from China. EFSA developed theoretical exposure scenarios based on
European consumption figures(4) of biscuits and chocolate. In the
absence of available data for contaminated milk powder, EFSA also
used the highest value of melamine, reported in Chinese infant
formula as a basis for worst-case scenarios. EFSA stressed that it is
not known at the moment whether such theoretical high-level exposure
scenarios could occur in Europe.
[1] Melamine is a chemical compound commonly used in the manufacture
of resins, plastics and glues. In Europe, melamine is approved for
manufacturing plastic materials and articles, but the addition of
melamine in food and animal feed is prohibited.
[2] EFSA used the highest value of melamine (approximately 2,500
mg/kg) reported in Chinese infant formula and consumption at the 95th
percentile as a basis for worst case scenarios.
[3] Because there is uncertainty with respect to the time scale for
development of kidney damage, EFSA used the TDI of 0.5 mg/kg body
weight which is protective for exposure over a lifetime in considering
possible effects of exposure to melamine over a relatively short
period, such as might occur with repeated consumption of melamine
contaminated products
[4] Panel evaluated data from the Concise European Consumption
Database, the CAOBISCO industry association; data on levels of
melamine in infant formula reported by the Chinese State
Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
The EFSA statement on risks for public health due to the presences of
melamine in infant milk and other milk products in China is available

Additional 31 batches of milk powder were found to contain melamine
while most products of this kind on the market were safe, the
country’s food safety watchdog said Wednesday [1 Oct 2008] following a
nationwide special check on the chemical.
The State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and
Quarantine said it had tested 265 batches milk powder produced by 154
different companies prior to 14 Sep 2008, and found 31 batches
produced by 20 domestic dairy companies were tainted with melamine.
The new batches being tested were mostly milk powder products for
adults. The melamine content in the Sanlu brand reached 6.196 mg per
kg in its so-called high iron and zinc formula, the highest among all
the samples.

Food-animal veterinarians and One Health
By Geni Wren | 9/8/2008
The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) states that approximately 60% of existing human pathogens and over 75% of those that have appeared during the past two decades can be traced back to animals. Some of the zoonotic agents food-animal veterinarians have particular expertise in include anthrax, botulism, tularemia, brucellosis, glanders, Q fever and others.
“These are the only doctors capable of diagnosing and treating beef and dairy cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and poultry that exhibit signs or symptoms,” says Bruce Kaplan, DVM, Dipl. AVES (Hon), Sarasota, Fla. According to Kaplan, food-animal veterinarians are also essential for recognizing livestock diseases of high economic consequence to our nation’s food supply, including African swine fever, highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1, classical hog cholera, contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, foot- and-mouth disease and others. “These veterinarians are vital to our homeland security.”
So in today’s environment, where the lives of animals and people collide on a daily basis, how can the food-animal veterinary medical and human medical professions collaborate more?

How the pet food scare affects global health
By Laura H. Kahn | 6 May 2007
Anyone who has ever bought toys that were made in China knows that the toys typically break after five minutes of play. It’s reminiscent of the days when the label, “Made in Japan,” conveyed something similar. To their credit, the Japanese sought to improve the quality of their production methods. After World War II, the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers invited U.S. statistician and engineer W. Edwards Deming to teach them statistical control and concepts of quality. The results made management history: Japan is now a production powerhouse with innovative and high-quality products.
China is decades behind Japan in quality control, and if the current situation involving tainted food additives is any indication, global consumers of Chinese products, particularly food products, should be aware of what they’re buying for many years to come.
In this crisis, cats and dogs served as sentinels when hundreds of them began dying from kidney failure after eating food contaminated with wheat gluten that contained melamine, an industrial chemical used to make plastics and fertilizer. Melamine is not approved for human or animal consumption in the United States. Fortunately, the owners of the affected animals loved them, so the deaths made headline news. In mid-March, Menu Foods, the company that made the cat and dog food, recalled 60 million cans and pouches.
