I started an article on eating 'bean dinners' some time ago, then was a bit startled to receive an emailed inquiry asking 'What are beans and rice? We often use 'beans and rice' as a shorthand way of saying 'dinners based on legumes plus grains' (at least, I often use it this way). But it seems that many Americans don't know what bean-based dinners are, or even can be. 'What kind of beans? What are you talking about? Maybe you want to be able to conve...

Monday, October 30, 2006. HOW I MAKE YOGURT. Making yogurt is very easy. It takes about 4 minutes of actual time *doing anything*. but about 4-6 hours elapsed time.

Monday, December 25, 2006. I was re-reading (a recent edition of) 'Diet for a Small Planet' by Frances Moore Lappe last night. I couldn't sleep because of pain, as often happens these days, unfortunately. For a while, I have suspected that pain increases the body's need for protein because of the way I feel when eating lots of protein contrasted to the way I feel when eating not-so-much protein. Http:/ www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00344097. OK, why am I mentioning it? Eating lots of protein without ...

Wednesday, July 26, 2006. My cole slaw - or maybe I should call it 'cabbage salad'. My Cole Slaw (cabbage salad? This is a nice dish to take somewhere (picnic, pot luck supper) since it keeps well. It is good in summer, but also in winter because cabbage and carrots are apt to be among the few cheap fresh vegetables then. (The pepper is optional.). In a food processor (preferably, or with a hand grater otherwise), shred cabbage and carrots, slice green pepper thinly. Mix. Reserving the juice (optional).

When I worked I just crawled home exhausted most nights, and then collapsed in a corner! Soup was my salvation then in cool weather; big main course salads were my salvation in hot weather. It's winter now, so let's talk about soup first. There are many different soups that are good for this purpose; I'll mention just a few:. Chunky Calico Chicken Soup. Post entitled 'Eating Beans and Rice'.
