LIGHTSIDE
Wives will outsmart you every time. I told my wife "50 years ago we had a cheap suite, no car, a black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23 year old gal. Now I have a million dollar home, a $80,000.00 car, plasma screen TV, but I am sleeping with a 65 year old woman".

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a 23 year old hot gal and she would make sure that I once again would be living in a cheap suite, no car, sleep on a sofa bed, and watch the news on a 10 inch black and white TV.

LIGHTSIDE
A priest dies and is in line at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter asked the guy ahead of him his name. The guy replies, �I am Sam Horton, taxi driver from New York.� Saint Pater gives him a silken robe and golden staff and said, �Enter the Kingdom of Heaven.�

Now it�s the priest�s turn. He booms out � I am the Right Reverend Anderson.� Saint Peter gives him a cotton robe and a wooden staff, and says to the Priest, �Enter the Kingdom of Heaven.� Taken back the priest asks, � That man was a taxi driver why does he get a silken robe and golden staff�.

�Results,� Said Saint Peter. �While you preached, people slept.
When the taxi driver drove, people prayed.

FOOD INFORMATION
Tips to prepare turkeys safely:
a whole turkey should be cooked at an oven temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
An 8-12 pound unstuffed turkey should be cooked for 2-3 hours.
* Preparers should use a meat thermometer. Every part of the turkey should reach a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Frozen turkeys should be kept frozen until ready to thaw.

To avoid potential cross-contamination and the spread of food borne illness, follow these steps:
Make sure to keep raw meat away from other foods, including vegetables such as lettuce and tomatoes. You can do this by packing meats separately or by making sure they are wrapped separately, so that juices don't leak out onto other foods.
Wash your hands carefully with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling raw meat.
Clean all your cooking equipment, utensils and work surfaces, and then sanitize them with a mild bleach solution, in the following manner:
Combine 5 mL (1 tsp) of bleach with 750 mL (3 cups) of water in a labelled spray bottle.
Spray the bleach solution on the surface/utensil and let stand briefly.
Rinse with lots of clean water and air dry (or use clean towels).

Thawing should be done in the refrigerator. Sealed packages can be thawed in cold water. Microwave defrosting is acceptable if the food item is placed immediately on the grill. Meat should be completely thawed before grilling so that it cooks more evenly.
Recall

Food Care
Improper food storage (inadequate refrigeration temperature or hot holding temperature). Safe refrigeration temperature is less than 41 degrees Fahrenheit, and safe hot holding temperature is greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Improper washing of hands and fingernails.
Improper cooling of foods. Safe cooling of foods is getting the foods to less than 41 degrees Fahrenheit within a four-hour time period.
Cross-contamination (such as from uncooked meat to salad ingredients).
Improper cleaning and sanitizing of eating and cooking utensils, work areas and equipment.
Contamination of food, utensils and equipment from flies, roaches and other pests.

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING
If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them
the risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate
many fatal road accidents are caused by drunk drivers.

If you're having a Christmas party, provide food with drinks.
Offer non-alcoholic substitutes such as fruit, soft drinks.

2 drinks taken within an hour by a person 100 pounds produces a
075 reading. One drink is equal to about 1.5 oz. of whisky or 2
bottles of beer. The rate of elimination for each hour after
drinking has stopped is 015. A 200-pound person, after 1 drink
produces a reading of .019, so you can see there is a big
difference due to weight.

As a host it is your duty to make sure no one leaves your party
impaired. Have some one drive them home.

This issue will not carry any recipes. Instead this issue is dedicated to honour our war veterans� and all our soldiers around the world who are still fighting to preserver freedom for everyone.

Remember November 11th.and take a few moments at 11 AM to honour all the men and women who gave their lives so we can enjoy freedom in this great country.

I Will Not Forget

I know I will never forget, nor will my children and grandchildren. Not only the ones who gave their lives, but all those who lost parts of their bodies, and if they were lucky to come back in one piece, seeing their buddies blown to bits next to them. Sometime they wished they had bought it too, having to live with the nightmares of war.

Many got over the nightmares in the first couple of years, only to start getting flashbacks� when they reached their late 70�s, and later. It affected them more when they got older then when they first came back.

I had 5 brothers, 2 sisters in world war two. One brother lived through the Dieppe Raid, and Normandy invasion, was wounded twice. Another spend his 16th birthday in a POW camp, was in on the death march, spend over 6 months in hospital after he was freed.

Another brother was in the Merchant Marines, (he was only 15). When war broke out the CPR ship he was on had just left England, was the first ship lost when it was sank by a German u-boat. They were picked up by another ship the next day and returned to England. He joined the RCNVR, had 4 different ships he served on all torpedoed by U-Boats. (Remember 1939-43 was happy hunting for German U-Boats in the Atlanta Ocean).

Just a strange footnote: The brother that spend his 16th birthday in a German prison of war camp, when he came home applied for a policeman position. Passed all the tests, but had to produce a birth certificate. He didn�t get the job because he had to be 21 years of age to carry a gun. Welcome home.

During the war in Canada you had to register on your 16th birthday. You didn�t have to produce a birth certificate to register. A lot registered when they were only 14. Registration, not birth certificate was used during the war. Now I can remember being refused service in a bar after the war when all I had to prove my age was my discharge papers.

No I will not forget.

LIGHTSIDE
During World War 2, a soldier arrived at the city but found all hotel rooms taken. He begged the desk clerk for anything. The hotel clerk said he had a double, there was a navy guy in it, but persons in rooms next to him said he snored so loud it was hard to sleep.

The soldier agreed to take it. When the soldier came down for breakfasts the manager asked, �How did you sleep�? �Great� replied the soldier. �No problem with the other guy snoring all night�? Asked the manger.

�No I shut him up in no time,� replied the soldier. �How did you manage that?� asked the manager.
�Well he was in bed snoring away when I walked into the room, so I gave him a kiss on the check� explained the soldier. �Then I whispered in his ear �goodnight beautiful�, and he sat up all night watching me.�

Remembrance Day November 11, Poppy Symbol

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.
- John McCrae

Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote it on May 3, 1915, after he witnessed the death of his friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, the day before.

An official adaptation into French, used by the Canadian government in Remembrance Day ceremonies, was written by Jean Pariseau and is entitled Au champ d'honneur. To see it run your cursor over d�honneur above.

We Shall Keep the Faith
by Moina Michael, November 1918

Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet - to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With All who died.
We cherish, too, the poppy red
That grows on fields where valour led;
It seems to signal to the skies
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a lustre to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.
And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honour of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields.

A CONDENSED REVIEW OF THE POPPY

On 29 September 1920, the National American Legion convened in Cleveland and agreed to make the Flanders Fields Memorial Poppy its national emblem of remembrance.

In September 1921, delegates at the Auxiliary to the American Legion Convention agreed that disabled American war veterans could make the poppies sold in the United States, thus generating much needed income for veterans who had no other income. The Auxiliary provided all the material and had it pre-cut for forming into flowers.

Madame Gu�rin visited Earl Haig and persuaded him to adopt the Flanders Poppy for the British Legion, which was done in the autumn of 1921.

In 1921, Field-Marshall Earl Haig, the former Commander-in-Chief of the British Armies in France and Belgium and the principal founder of the British Legion, was sold on Madame Gu�rin's fundraising idea and approved organization of the British Poppy Day Appeal by the Legion to raise money for poor and disabled veterans.

The same year, Madame Gu�rin visited Canada, and convinced the Great War Veterans Association (predecessor to the Royal Canadian Legion) to similarly adopt the poppy as a symbol of remembrance in aid of fundraising.

Today, the Poppy Campaign is one of the Royal Canadian Legion's most important programs. The money raised from poppy sales provides direct assistance for ex-service people in financial distress, as well as funding for medical appliances and research, home services, care facilities, and numerous other purposes.

In Canada, from 1920 to 1980 the Royal Canadian Legion used black for the centre of the poppy. In 1980, the legion formed a committee, which decided that the centre should be green to represent the fields of France. This proved to be an unpopular decision and in 1986 they decided to return back to the traditional black centre.

However, a large quantity of green felt had already been purchased, so it was decided to keep the green centre until all of the green was used up.
It took until 2002 for the green felt to run out and then the black centre reappeared.

Since the poppy symbol is largely associated with Remembrance Day in Canada, the Canadian Mint has released a series of quarters into circulation that have the poppy imprinted on them in the centre of the coin.

Last Wednesday I was in a hurry to leave my home to pick up my wife. As it was raining I grabbed a jacket, seen it had the red poppy, so I wore it. When I met my wife and granddaughter, my granddaughter pointed out to me I was wearing the wrong poppy. The one I had on was an old one with the green centre. I felt like I was cheating, so I bought another even though I had bought 2 others with the black just 2 weeks before.

I hope you all remembered and wore a poppy from October 31, to November 11th.

Thanksgiving Day is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks at the conclusion of the harvest season. The United States celebrates Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November and Canada celebrates the holiday on the second Monday in October.

Traditional celebration
In Canada, Thanksgiving is a three-day weekend (although some provinces observe a four day weekend, Friday�Monday). Traditional Thanksgiving meals prominently feature turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes, though Canada's multicultural heritage has seen many families infuse this traditional meal with elements of their traditional ethnic foods.

Most of us will have noticed that Canadian Thanksgiving comes well in advance of our neighbours to the south, and for all the predictable reasons: colder climate, earlier harvest, and of course have something first before our USA neighbour, eh!

We did actually have the FIRST Thanksgiving, a full 43 years before the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock.
Records at Port Royal, Nova Scotia, note an October 10, 1710. Thanksgiving celebration to mark the return of the town to the English.

In 1879, Parliament formally declared November 6 as a day of Thanksgiving, until after the Armistice of WWI. Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day would have been on the same week. It was then decided to assign Thanksgiving to the second Monday in October.
This year the USA host thanksgiving day on November 24.

GRANDMA�S WRAPPED TURKEY

During World War 2, a soldier arrived at the city but found all hotel rooms taken. He begged the desk clerk for anything. The hotel clerk said he had a double, there was a navy guy in it, but persons in rooms next to him said he snored so loud it was hard to sleep.

The soldier agreed to take it. When the soldier came down for breakfasts the manager asked, �How did you sleep�? �Great� replied the soldier. �No problem with the other guy snoring all night�? Asked the manger.

�No I shut him up in no time,� replied the soldier. �How did you manage that?� asked the manager.
�Well he was in bed snoring away when I walked into the room, so I gave him a kiss on the check� explained the soldier. �Then I whispered in his ear �goodnight beautiful�, and he sat up all night watching me.�

FOOD INFORMATION
Dr. Donald Low, chair of the council and chief microbiologist at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital said hand washing and surface disinfection are two key areas that need greater attention along with food safety, immunization and proper use of antibiotics.
He said the most "bang for your buck" in prevention from illness at home comes in the kitchen where bacteria and viruses can multiply on moist or hard surfaces.

Low said dishcloths are growing "unsatisfactory" levels of bacteria in nine out of 10 Canadian kitchens and 80 per cent of food-borne illnesses occur at home because food was not handled or cooked properly.

In the past, doctors promoted washing with soap and water but alcohol-based hand rubs are better to use on hands that are not visibly soiled, he said. "They are more effective at actually killing bacteria and viruses," Low said. "They are easier on your hands so you can do it more often without getting chafing of the skin."

Food safety Tips When Traveling Or In Case of A Disaster.

If you are traveling with perishable food, place it in a cooler with ice or freezer packs. Have plenty of ice or frozen gel-packs on hand before starting to pack food. If you take meat, poultry, eggs, for eating on the road or to cook at your vacation spot, plan to keep everything on ice in your cooler.

Keep raw meat and poultry wrapped separately from cooked foods, or foods meant to be eaten raw such as fruits. Limit the times the cooler is opened. Open and close the lid quickly. Pack perishable foods directly from the refrigerator or freezer into the cooler. If the cooler is only partially filled, pack the remaining space with more ice. Limit the times the cooler is opened. Open and close the lid quickly.

Remember to keep the cooler in a shady spot. Keep it covered with a blanket, tarp or poncho, preferably one that is light in color to reflect heat.

Bring along bottled water or other canned or bottled drinks. Always assume that streams and rivers are not safe for drinking. If camping in a remote area, bring along water purification tablets or equipment.

Don't let perishable food sit out while swimming or fishing. Remember, food sitting out for more than 2 hours is not safe. The time frame is reduced to just 1 hour if the outside temperature is above 90 �F.

If you do fishing and are lucky the big one didn�t get away, gut and clean the fish as soon as they are caught. Wrap both whole and cleaned fish in watertight plastic and store on ice. Keep 3-4 inches of ice on the bottom of the cooler. Alternate layers of fish and ice. After cooking, eat within 3-4 days. Make sure the raw fish stays separate from cooked foods.

Crabs, lobsters and other shellfish must be kept alive until cooked. Store in a bushel or laundry basket under wet burlap. Crabs and lobsters are best eaten the day they are caught. Live oysters can keep 7-10 days. Mussels and clams, 4-5 days.

Caution: Be aware of the potential dangers of eating raw shellfish. This is especially true for persons with liver disorders or weakened immune systems. Warning, no one should eat raw shellfish.

If you go to the beach take along only the food that can be eaten to avoid having leftovers. If grilling, make sure local ordinances allow it. Bring the cooler! Partially bury it in the sand, cover with blankets, and shade with a beach umbrella.

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING

If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them the
risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate drunk
drivers cause many fatal road accidents.

It should be known that like any other drug, addiction is a
potential hazard. Excess of alcohol will affect organs such as
the brain, heart, and liver.

All are lower in calories and fat than a conventional burger and higher in fibre. Many have a respectable amount of protein, too. Their weakness is sodium: The rated burgers have 250 to 500 milligrams. (The recommended daily limit is 2,300 milligrams)

FOOD INFORMATION, Go Mediterranean
Dietary choices for maintaining cognitive wellbeing may seem obvious, because they are often the same choices that ward off other diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. The optimal ratio of lean protein (particularly from fish), legumes, fruits, vegetables and monounsaturated fat, mostly in the form of olive oil, makes up what is popularly termed the Mediterranean diet. Other characteristics of this way of eating include low consumption of dairy foods, red meat and eggs.

Specifically, the study found that eating lots of foods that are easily converted to energy, along with protein, increases the ingestion of vitamins D, B2, B6 and a host of other important B vitamins (J Nutri Sci Vitaminol 2004;50:184-95). B vitamins have long been associated with cognitive function. You can find plenty of B vitamins in foods like salmon, beef, eggs, peanuts, broccoli, asparagus, red peppers, spinach and romaine lettuce.

Another supplement to consider is beta-carotene - the pigment that makes carrots orange. Many types of fish contain large amounts of important fats known as omega-3 fatty acids. Scores of reports show that omega-3s can maintain brain health effectively, and even prevent dementia.

One note of caution: Due to water pollution, many fish contain high levels of toxins and heavy metals, such as mercury and PCBs, which affect brain health.
Larger, longer-lived species are most susceptible to contamination. Whenever possible, avoid swordfish, tilefish, shark, snapper and king mackerel, all of which are known to have high levels of mercury.

LIGHTSIDE

A priest dies and is in line at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter asked the guy ahead of him his name. The guy replies, "I am Sam Horton, taxi driver from New York." Saint Pater gives him a silken robe and golden staff and said, "Enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

Now it's the priest�s turn. He booms out " I am the Right Reverend Anderson." Saint Peter gives him a cotton robe and a wooden staff, and says to the Priest, "Enter the Kingdom of Heaven." Taken back the priest asks, " That man was a taxi driver why does he get a silken robe and golden staff".

"Results," Said Saint Peter. "While you preached, people slept.

When the taxi driver drove, people prayed.

FOOD TIPS

To avoid potential cross-contamination and the spread of food borne illness, follow these steps:

Make sure to keep raw meat away from other foods, including vegetables such as lettuce and tomatoes. You can do this by packing meats separately or by making sure they are wrapped separately, so that juices don't leak out onto other foods.

Wash your hands carefully with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling raw meat.

Clean all your cooking equipment, utensils and work surfaces, and then sanitize them with a mild bleach solution, in the following manner:

Combine 5 mL (1 tsp) of bleach with 750 mL (3 cups) of water in a labelled spray bottle.

Spray the bleach solution on the surface/utensil and let stand briefly.

Rinse with lots of clean water and air dry (or use clean towels).

Thawing should be done in the refrigerator. Sealed packages can be thawed in cold water. Microwave defrosting is acceptable if the food item is placed immediately on the grill. Meat should be completely thawed before grilling so that it cooks more evenly.

Allergic reactions
Allergic reactions are severe adverse reactions that occur when the body's immune system overreacts to a particular allergen. These reactions may be caused by food, insect stings, latex, medications and other substances.

Nine priority food allergens are peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, milk, eggs, seafood (fish, crustaceans and shellfish), soy, wheat and sulphites.

What are the symptoms of an allergic reaction?
The symptoms of a reaction may develop quickly and rapidly progress from mild to severe. The most severe form of an allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis. Symptoms can include breathing difficulties, a drop in blood pressure or shock, which may result in loss of consciousness and even death.

Check for the following symptoms:
Flushed face, hives or a rash, red and itchy skin.
Swelling of the eyes, face, lips, throat and tongue.
Trouble breathing, speaking or swallowing.
Anxiety, distress, faintness, paleness, sense of doom, weakness.
Cramps, diarrhoea, vomiting.
A drop in blood pressure, rapid heart beat, loss of consciousness.
If you or anyone you are with has symptoms of allergic reaction, do not wait, phone 911.

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING
If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them
the risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate
many fatal road accidents are caused by drunk drivers.
If you're having a party, provide food with drinks.
Offer non-alcoholic substitutes such as fruit, soft drinks.
2 drinks taken within an hour by a person 100 pounds produces a
075 reading. One drink is equal to about 1.5 oz. of whisky or 2
bottles of beer. The rate of elimination for each hour after
drinking has stopped is 015.

A 200-pound person, after 1 drink produces a reading of .019, so you can see there is a big
difference due to weight.

As a host it is your duty to make sure no one leaves your party
impaired. Have some one drive them home.

BACK TO COOKING SCHOOL.
General rules.

TENDER CUTS of meat can be cooked by dry heat, as in broiling, pan-broiling, or roasting.

TOUGH CUTS can only be made tender by moist heat, as in pot roasting and Stewing.

Our main object is to prevent shrinkage in so far as possible, and produce a tender, juicy, tasty product. In roasting, searing does little to help keep in juices, less shrinkage results at a lower temperature for a longer time (300 F). Searing however makes the meat look attractive and the outside layers taste better.

An uncovered pan with a rack in the bottom gives the best results in roasting. Cooking time varies with preference.
For rare meat, 16 minutes per pound.
For medium meat, 22 minutes per pound.
For well done meat, 30 minutes per pound.

Add salt during or after cooking, not before. The salt flavour does not penetrate more then 1 inch. If the meat does not reach the desired colour during roasting, increase the heat to (500 F) for a few minutes before removing from the pan.

Methods of searing is subjecting the meat to a high temperature until it is nicely browned.

By Browing in an uncovered pan in a hot oven (450 F-500F).
By Browing in hot fat in a frying pan on the surface burner.
By Adding boiling water and cooking at boiling temperature until the outside of the meat has lost its red colour.

Reasons For Cooking Meat
To develop flavour.
To soften the connective tissue when present in large quantity.
To kill any living organisms that may be present.

LIGHTSIDE

A man walking on a side street in Vancouver stumbled across an
old lamp. He picked it up, rubbed it, and out popped a genie.
The genie said, �OK, You released me but I am old, getting tired of granting 3 wishes�..you can only get one wish!�

The man said, �I have always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I am to scared to fly, and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?�

The genie laughed and said, �That�s impossible!! Think of the logistics of that! The supports, concrete, steel!! No, think of another wish.�

So the man said, �I have been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don�t care and that I am insensitive. I wish that I could understand women, know how they feel inside, and what they�re thinking when they give me the silent treatment. Know why they�re crying, know what they really want when they say �nothing�, know how to make them truly happy.�

The genie said, �Do you want that bridge to be two lanes or four?�

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING

If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them the risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate drunk drivers cause many fatal road accidents.

FOOD TIPS, INFORMATION
One of the best vegetables you can eat is a sweet potato. They are loaded with vitamin A, carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium and fibre. You can bake and then mix in crushed pineapple for sweetness.

Tomatoes are also packed with vitamin A, fibre.

Wild salmon is great for your health. Salmon that is caught wild has less PCB then farmed salmon. Salmon is high in heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Smoking or pickling salmon reduces the amount by about 75%.

Conventionally grown produce is coated with tiny amounts of pesticide residues. Apples, bell peppers, cucumbers, Peaches, pears could be trapped under a layer of wax.

For safety, more so with children and older persons, you should scrub them in a highly diluted solution of liquid dish detergent, which removes most of the pesticides and wax. Or you could peel it, especially apples, peaches, and pears. Organic produce should still be washed to remove other contaminants.

Beans are inexpensive, low in fat, rich in protein, iron, folic and fibre.

Bananas contain vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium.

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING

If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them the
risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate drunk
drivers cause many fatal road accidents.

It should be known that like any other drug, addiction is a
potential hazard. Excess of alcohol will affect organs such as the brain, heart, and liver.

FOOD INFORMATION
"Power outages can occur at any time of the year and it often takes from a few hours to several days for electricity to be restored to residential areas," said USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Richard Raymond. "Foods stored in freezers and refrigerators can become unsafe in just a few hours if bacteria begin to grow and if these foods are consumed, people can become very sick."

Steps to follow to prepare for a possible weather emergency:
Keep an appliance thermometer in the refrigerator and freezer. An appliance thermometer will indicate the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer in case of a power outage and help determine the safety of the food.

Make sure the freezer is at or below 0� F and the refrigerator is at or below 40� F.

Freeze containers of water for ice to help keep food cold in the freezer, refrigerator or coolers after the power is out.

Plan ahead and know where dry ice and block ice can be purchased.

FOOD TIPS
One of the best vegetables you can eat is a sweet potato. They are loaded with vitamin A, carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium and fibre. You can bake and then mix in crushed pineapple for sweetness.

Tomatoes are also packed with vitamin A, fibre.

Wild salmon is great for your health. Salmon that is caught wild has less PCB then farmed salmon. Salmon is high in heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Smoking or pickling salmon reduces the amount by about 75%.

Conventionally grown produce is coated with tiny amounts of pesticide residues. Apples, bell peppers, cucumbers, Peaches, pears could be trapped under a layer of wax.

For safety, more so with children and older persons, you should scrub them in a highly diluted solution of liquid dish detergent, which removes most of the pesticides and wax. Or you could peel it, especially apples, peaches, and pears. Organic produce should still be washed to remove other contaminants.
Beans are inexpensive, low in fat, rich in protein, iron, folic and fibre.
Bananas contain vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium.

EGGS
There have been many confirmed Salmonella enteritidis illnesses relating to eggs. Salmonella can cause fever, abdominal cramps and diarrhoea and usually lasts four to seven days.
The FDA advised consumers to:
Toss recalled eggs or return them to the store for a refund.
See a doctor if you think you are ill after eating recalled eggs.
Keep eggs refrigerated at all times.
Throw out cracked or dirty eggs.
Wash hands, utensils and preparation surfaces with soap and water after contact with raw eggs.
Cook eggs until both the white and the yolk are firm and eat promptly after cooking.
Do not keep eggs warm or at room temperature for more than two hours.

Do not eat raw eggs or restaurant dishes made with raw, undercooked or unpasteurized eggs.

Squeaky Clean
WARNING: DO NOT MIX BLEACH AND AMMONIA TOGETHER, THE FUMES CAN BE DEADLY.

Germs and kitchen are like a married couple, always close by.
Germs really love the kitchen, especially sponges, dishcloths and
sinks. You can disinfect all three by soaking sponges, and
dishcloths for 5-10 minutes in the sink in a solution of � cup
Clorox Regular Bleach and one gallon of water. Rinse with clean
water and let dry.

You can use the same solution to disinfect food spills, refrigeration, door handles.

Touching surfaces that have germs on them, such as faucets, can
spread bacteria, cutting boards, tables, phones, light switches,
anything touched by humans, animals.

Stain Removal Tips
In past issue we covered most stain removal tips. If you�re new
to Grandma�s News letter, check out some of the past issues.

Mix 50-50 water, white vinegar. Great for stubborn carpet stains. By the way vinegar placed in saucers around a room makes a good deodorizer.

COOKING INFORMATION
Food manufactures are permitted to irradiate potatoes and onions to inhibit sprouting; wheat flour to control insects; and ground spices and dehydrated seasonings to reduce microbial content.
In 2005 The European Civil Society released a statement against irradiation stating, "Food irradiation is often used as a substitute for good sanitary practices and misleads consumers, as it kills spoilage bacteria, which tells people when food is rotten through smell or sight"

"The American and Canadian public is justifiably concerned over the unknown effects of irradiation food." Rosalie Bertell, PhD.
Where possible we should buy locally -grown foods. As a rule your food is fresher, better flavour, picked within a day of your purchase. Local produce more likely has a higher nutrient content than store-bought produce that has spent time on a transport truck and warehouse. Further farmers who sell directly to local customers receive the full value for their product, can sell cheaper, as there is less cost to processing, transportation, packing, warehouse etc.

TIPS

An uncovered pan with a rack in the bottom gives the best
results in roasting. Cooking time varies with preference.
For rare meat, 16 minutes per pound.
For medium meat, 22 minutes per pound.
For well done meat, 30 minutes per pound.
Add salt during or after cooking, not before. The salt flavour
does not penetrate more then 1 inch.
If the meat does not reach the desired colour during roasting, increase the heat to (500 F)
for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
Methods of searing is subjecting the meat to a high temperature
until it is nicely browned.

By Browning in an uncovered pan in a hot oven (450 F-500F).
By Browning in hot fat in a frying pan on the surface burner.
By Adding boiling water and cooking at boiling temperature until
the outside of the meat has lost its red colour.

Reasons For Cooking Meat
To develop flavour.
To soften the connective tissue when present in large quantity.
To kill any living organisms that may be present.
To make meatballs of even size, spread mixture in an ice cube tray and press the divider down to separate meat into uniform squares. Take out divider and shape squares lightly into balls.

LIGHTSIDE
A young couple invited an elderly pastor for dinner. While they were
in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what
they were having for dinner.
"Goat" the boy replied.
"Goat?" asked the man of the cloth. "are you sure about that?"
"yes" replied the boy. " I heard Dad say to Mom, "Today is a good
day to have the old goat for dinner."

Reminds me of when my granddaughter was getting an award at her school, and she invited my wife and me to attend. As we walked into the hall we noticed our granddaughter hit a boy sitting besides her.

After the award we met our granddaughter in the hall. I asked her why she hit the kid. She replied, when you and grandma came into the hall the kid turned to me and said, look at those two dinosaurs".

I mentioned to my doctor, I just can't stop my hands from shaking. He asked, "Do you drink a lot?� My reply was, "No I spill most of it".

TIPS FOR HOME SAFETY
Lead Poisoning:
Banned since 1973, lead-based paint may still be found on children's toys, furniture, particularly on old articles. If not sure strip and repaint any questionable articles.
Glazed earthenware bowls, plates, mugs, could also be potential source of lead poisoning. Acidic foods, such as citrus juices, soft drinks, and pickled foods, can dissolve the lead in glaze.
Poisoning:
Keep poisons locked away or out of reach. Children are not discouraged by bad taste. Keep your local Poison Control Centre's phone number near the phone in case emergency. Buy medicines and household products with child-resistant packaging.
Remember some plants are also poisonous and should be kept out of reach from children's and pets.

Drowning:
Never leave a child alone near a body of water, even a puddle.
Empty wading pools, pails of water that are not being used.
When on a boat or wharf always put life jackets on children.

PARTY, BAR MIXES
If you're having a party, provide food with drinks. Offer non-alcoholic substitutes such as fruit, soft drinks.2 drinks taken within an hour by a person 100 pounds produces a 075 reading. One drink is equal to about 1.5 oz. of whisky or 2 bottles of beer. The rate of elimination for each hour after drinking has stopped is 015. A 200-pound person, after 1 drink produces a reading of .019, so you can see there is a big difference due to weight.

2 oz. Gin.
2 teaspoon Lemon juice..
1 teaspoon Lemon juice.
1 teaspoon Sugar syrup.
1 egg white.
