Cooking tips

Microwave Tip : Use your microwave as often as possible in the summer. You'll be more comfortable and save on air conditioning costs.


Buy Fairtrade Food : The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

For a product to display the FAIRTRADE Mark it must meet international Fairtrade standards. These standards are set by the international certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products are inspected and certified by FLO. They receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects.
  • Find out which fair trade products are available at which supermarkets
  • Get involved in fair trade campaigns.



Try Organic Food : Organically-grown food costs more, but you get what you pay for. It is 2-10 times richer in minerals, contains no pesticides, and tastes better. It is better for you, your planet, and your palate. Wild unhybridized food is what your body was designed for, before our ancestors started messing with Mother Nature. Take it easy with highly hybridized fruits (bananas, seedless anything) and vegetables (carrots, beets, white potatoes).

Ingredients And Procedures

2 1/2 lb Fresh picnic shoulder

-(with bone) Provides cooked pork for 3 meals 1. Place picnic shoulder on rack in shallow roasting pan.

If meat thermometer is used, insert it in center of roast so tip does not touch bone or fat. 2. Roast, uncovered, at 325?F (slow oven) until done,

about 2-1/2 to 3 hours. To test for doneness, make a small cut next to bone into thicker part of meat. Juices will be clear when meat is done. Meat thermometer, if used, should read 170?F. 3. Remove fat from drippings. Defatted drippings will

measure about 2 tablespoons; save half for Roast Pork with Gravy (p. 46) and half for Pork and Cabbage soup (p. 58). 4. Separate meat from rind, fat, and bone. Using the

smaller pieces of pork, dice and save 1 cup of meat for Pork and Cabbage Soup. Slice remaining meat. Save half for sandwiches and half for Roast Pork with Gravy. Cooked pork will keep 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. * Thrifty Meals for Two: Making Food Dollars Count * USDA Home and Garden Bulletin Number 244 -----
