General cooking tips

Trying Organic Food : If you are sick, you might feel sicker temporarily, as your body dumps stored toxins (heavy metals, drugs, cooked-food residues) that overwhelmed it and accumulated over a lifetime. This is called detoxification. Take it slow-eat more raw fat or cooked starch to slow down detoxification, if needed. Your body has tremendous healing power. Give it time (months or years) to fully recover from years of abuse.


Buy Seasonal Food : Most food, from fruit to fish, has a season -a time when it is abundant and at its best. Knowledge about food's seasons was once essential to survival and became culturally ingrained over the centuries. Today, we have all but lost this accumulated wisdom, but it still matters! Buy local and seasonal to guarantee the best quality food you can get.

Ingredients And Procedures

INGREDIENTS: 4 c Firm white bread (Italian or

-French or sourdough) 1/2 c Butter

Salt and cayenne pepper 1 pt Raw oysters, well-drained

1 tb Lemon juice

1 sm Onion, grated

1/2 c Whipping cream

paprika (TIP:) This dish can be made with oysters of *any* size. While fresh ones ARE best, thawed, frozen oysters *may* be used. If you wish, prepare the dish and refrigerate it for several hours before baking. Or, on the other hand, you can cut and brown the bread cubes ahead of time. The rest can be finished in minutes, once the bread is browned. Remove the crusts from the bread. Cut the bread into quarter-inch cubes; in a large skillet, melt half the butter. Add 2 cups of bread cubes and toss over LOW HEAT until they're golden-brown. Sprinkle the cubes lightly with salt and caynne, stirring constantly. Brown the remaining cubes in the remaining butter. Sprinkle again with the cayenne and the salt. Cover the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish with 1/3 of the bread cubes; top the bread evenly with half the oysters, sprinkle with salt and cayenne, half the lemon juice and half the onion. Cover with 1/3 of the bread cubes and sprinkle with salt, cayenne, the rest of the lemon juice and the onion. Pour in the cream, and top with the last third of the bread cubes. Sprinkle with paprika to make pretty. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes and serve *immediately*.
