| Combining foods properly has the potential to produce, fantastic energy, and a proper environment for properly balanced digestion. Toxins in the body can be eliminated, and optimal nuritional absorption can be accomplished. It is possible for weight loss to occur easily, naturally and with little effort if foods are combined properly. It has been a big step to learn how to cook in different ways, but the results have been astounding on my road to recovering lost health! Because foods are so depleted in our overworked soils, I have also added a Green Barley concentrated whole food product to my regimen, alternating it with McCain's GFS Green Food Supplement. |

| FUN FOOD FACTS AND TRIVIA: |
| A cluster or bunch of bananas is called a hand. Individual bananas are called fingers. To save money on your food bill, look down. Less costly items are often on bottom shelves, whereas more expensive ones are placed at eye level. The creme filling used in OREO cookies one year could ice all the wedding cakes served in the United States for two years! That's 4,724,000 three-tier wedding cakes. To test avocados, mangoes, or papayas for ripeness, gently fondle the fruit — never squeeze it — and if the flesh yields to the touch, it's ready to eat. The custom of serving a slice of lemon with fish dates back to the Middle Ages. It was believed that if a person accidentally swallowed a fish bone, the lemon juice would dissolve it. Onions are usually eaten in such small amounts that they make very little difference nutritionally, but the most nutritious ones are scallions, with four times the vitamin C and 5,000 times the vitamin A as other onions. If you enjoy eating onions by the pound, one pound has about 175 calories. Toffee is made by boiling together brown sugar, butter, and vinegar. The early eating bars of chocolate were made of bittersweet chocolate. Milk chocolate was introduced in 1875 when Henry Nestle, a maker of evaporated milk and Daniel Peter, a chocolate maker, got together and invented milk chocolate, which today is preferred by 80% of the world's population. Only men were allowed to eat at the first self-service restaurant, the Exchange Buffet in New York, opened in 1885. Customers ate standing up. Tortoni is a rich ice cream containing eggs, heavy cream, and chopped cherries, and is often topped with crushed almonds or macaroons. It originated about the 1940s. Legend has it the dish was named after an Italian café owner in Paris in the eighteenth century. The early Indians of the Southwestern U.S. only ate the organs of the animals they hunted for food, and left the muscles for predatory animals. Their meat-eating habits were changed by European influences. Ovaltine, the drink was from milk, malt, egg and cocoa, was developed in 1904 in Berne, Switzerland. It was originally named Ovomaltine. A clerical error changed it when the manufacturer registered the name. Under federal regulations, 97 percent of caffeine must be removed from coffee for it to be labeled "decaffeinated." The eggplant has many names worldwide. In addition to "eggplant," it is called aubergine, brinjal, melanzana, garden egg, and patlican. Over 180 million Cadbury's Creme Eggs are sold between January and Easter each year — that's more than three Creme Eggs for every man, woman, and child in the U.S. Under U.S. federal guidelines, there should be 21 to 25 jumbo shrimp in a pound. The eggplant was domesticated in Southeast Asia more than 4,000 years ago. It belongs to the same family as the poisonous deadly nightshade (as do potatoes, tomatoes, and petunias). In the Middle East and then in Europe, doctors blamed it for all sorts of things, from epilepsy to cancer. In the fifth century, Chinese women made a black dye from the eggplant skins to stain and polish their teeth. And some people in medieval Europe considered eggplant an aphrodisiac. Oysters Rockefeller were created in 1899 at Antoine's Restaurant in New Orleans when a shortage of snails from Europe prompted chef Jules Alciatore to turn instead to local oysters. This was a daring move, as the creatures were usually shunned at the time. Alciatore created a sauce of unsurpassed richness, and so he named the dish after the immensely wealthy Rockefeller family. The famed oyster dish remains one of the great culinary creations of all time, and its recipe remains a closely-guarded secret at Antoine's, though it has been imitated countless times. Antoine's has also perpetuated the Pommes de terre souffles, marvelous puffed potatoes, and Pompano en papillote, fish in a parchment bag cooked in a special wine sauce. It was in 1840 that young Antoine Alciatore established a world-class restaurant in New Orleans which has flourished under his family's direction for over 160 years. Vinegar was the strongest acid known to the ancients. The first bottles of Coca-Cola sold for a mere 5 cents per bottle in 1899. There are now more than 1,000 Coca-Cola bottling plants worldwide. Oysters were a major part of life in New York in the late 1800s. They were eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; they were pickled, stewed, baked, roasted, fried, scalloped, and used in soups, patties, and puddings. Oystering in New York supported large numbers of families, and oyster theft was a prevalent problem. Vintage port takes forty years to reach maturity. The first chocolate chip cookie was developed in the kitchen of a Whitman, Massachusetts, country inn in 1937. Simple experiments led to a recipe combining bits of chocolate candy with a shortbread type cookie dough. Papaya leaves and unripe papaya have an enzyme called papain that breaks down protein in meat to make it tender. That’s why papaya can be used as a meat tenderizer. |
