General kitchen advice

Good food alone cannot make you healthy and happy. You also need sunshine (for vitamin D and strong biorhythms), moderate exercise, relaxation, and love. A daily walk outdoors will give you the first three. Use a water-filter and nontoxic household products (available from us & elsewhere). Get mercury fillings out of your teeth. Avoid drugs and manmade chemicals whenever possible. If your health remains poor, find a doctor who will search for the root causes, not suppress the symptoms with drugs and surgery.

Buy Local Food : With local food you'll get exceptional taste and freshness, strengthen your local economy, support endangered family farms, safeguard your family's health, and protect the environment.

Weight loss info

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index diet system is based on the glycaemic index, a list of food types and a score representing the ease that the glucose of the food gets converted to glucose in the dieters body. The claim is that long-acting food types (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help to consume fewer food without starving yourself.
It's also extremely beneficial for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in reducing surges in blood sugar secretion.

Ingredients And Procedures

Stephen Ceideburg 4 lb To 5 lb. duck, washed and

-dried 1 c Low-fat yogurt

3 Cloves garlic, minced

1 tb Minced, peeled ginger root

1 tb Ground cumin

1 tb Paprika

1 1/2 ts Salt

1 ts Ground cardamom

1/4 ts Cayenne pepper

2 ts Vegetable oil

1 md Onion, chopped

1 c Red lentils

1/2 ts Turmeric

1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper

The yogurt marinade in this dish locks in moisture and lends a complementary spicy flavor. The duck is skinned before cooking to reduce fat. With a sharp knife or poultry shears, remove backbone and wing tips from duck and cut the duck into 4 serving pieces. Cut away the skin and fat. In a shallow, non aluminum dish, mix together yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, paprika, 1 tsp. salt, cardamom and cayenne pepper. Add the duck pieces, turning to coat well and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally. About 1/2 hour before serving, in a medium-sized saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until translucent and lightly browned. Rinse lentils well and add them to the saucepan with turmeric, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, black pepper and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or just until lentils are tender. Cover and set aside. Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal grill or preheat the broiler. Remove the duck from the marinade (reserve marinade) and grill on a lightly oiled rack or broil on a rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet. Grill or broil for 5 to 7 minutes on one side, or until browned. Turn, baste once with reserved

marinade and discard marinade. Cook 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork. just before serving, briefly reheat the lentils and serve with the duck. 451 CALORIES PER SERVING: 44 G PROTEIN, 15 G FAT, 35 G CARBOHYDRATE; 323 MG
