Food tips

Buy Organic Foods : Organic food helps protect the planet.
Organic farming ensures that bio-diversity remains available in the foods we eat and the wildlife that live on the farms.

Fruits and vegetables are naturally available in 100's of varieties. Commercial growing limits the variety of each food available by mass producing only a handful. Many species of birds, insects and other animals are affected by the chemicals and farming conditions used in growing commercial foods.

Organic farms grow a mix of crops and promote a balanced ecosystem including insects that protect crops from pests and worms and other micro-organisms which fertilize the soil.


Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.


Oven Tips : Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25° and foods will cook just as quickly.


Kitchen safety

Turn saucepan handles so they don't stick out (and aren't over another ring).
Electrical appliances - especially those that work at high speeds, such as the washing machine - should be serviced each year.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 lb New potatoes -- scrubbed

2 Yellow onions -- sweet

Extra virgin olive oil -- For frying 4 Cloves garlic -- chopped

6 Eggs -- beaten

Kosher salt White pepper

Leaving the skins on, slice the new potatoes thinly. Peel, split, and slice onions. In a large saute pan, heat olive oil (the best you can afford). You need a good quarter inch in your pan. Saute potatoes and onions and garlic on a low flame until the potatoes are soft and the onions are translucent. Remove with a slotted spoon and place the potato mxture in a greased round cake pan, spring form pan, cast iron skillet or terra-cotta baking dish. If you use something small, make two. Season eggs and pour over potatoes. Bake 20 minutes at 350F and then start testing. When the middle is set and the top slightly brown, it's done. Let set 5 minutes, run a knife around the outside and invert onto a round platter. Serve at room temperature.
