General cooking tips

Oven Tips : Check the seal on your oven door for wear. Even a small tear or gap can allow heat to wander away from your meal. A clean seal also provides better heat retention.

Our survival no longer depends on our knowledge of nature's cycles, but there is much to be gained from getting back this lost wisdom. Regardless of technology's advances, the fact remains that food in season is the best. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.

Buy Local Food : If you were to turn back the clock 100 years, what would gardeners in your area be growing? Try regional heirloom varieties of garden standbys such as beans, squash, tomatoes and melons, which were selected for their flavors and reliability in the days when personal survival often depended upon a garden’s success. Appalachian “greasy” beans or creamy New England-bred butternut squash can help open the door to great flavors from the past.

1 Polish sausage,

-sliced thinly 6 sl Bacon, chopped

1 c Onions, chopped

1 c Water

4 c Corn

2 c Potatoes, cubed

Red pepper sauce 2 c Milk

2 tb Butter

In a big saucepan, brown the sausage and bacon until bacon is crispy. Remove sausage and bacon with a slotted spoon, and drain on a paper towel. Discard most of the fat; leave enough to cook the onion. Saute onion in reserved fat until tender, about 5 minutes. Gradually stir in the flour. Add stock and water, stirring constantly. Add sausage, bacon, corn, potatoes and white pepper. Add red pepper sauce to taste. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add milk and cook until soup is heated through and potatoes are tender. Top with butter and serve. NOTES: * A rich creamy chowder with corn and sausages -- This chowder is a variation on a family recipe from an old roommate of mine. (She makes it without the sausage, and with more water). It goes very well with most 6-8.
