Cheap & healty tips in preparing food?
Comments (14)A cheap source of protein is chicken livers. Here's how I make them most often: CHICKEN LIVERS AND RICE - 2 to 3 servings 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/ 2 inch slices 1 lb. chicken livers, trimmed and quartered 1/ 4 cup flour 1/ 2 tsp. salt 1/ 4 tsp. pepper 1/ 2 cup chopped onion 1/ 2 cup uncooked rice 1/ 2 tsp. dried basil, crumbled 1 whole bay leaf 1 1/ 4 cups chicken broth 2 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley (do not omit) Cook bacon until crisp in large skillet. Combine flour, salt and pepper and dredge chicken livers in it. Remove bacon and reserve. Brown livers in bacon grease. Remove and reserve. Saute onion over medium heat in same skillet (add 1 Tbs. olive oil of needed.) Stir in rice, broth, basil, and bay leaf. Heat to boiling; then turn heat to low. Stir mixture thoroughly, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Cover. Simmer 20 minutes without lifting lid. Spoon reserved livers over rice but don't stir. Put lid back on and simmer for another 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove bay leaf. Sprinkle with bacon and chopped parsley. Healthy? Yes, in many ways except for cholesterol. Since our numbers are good, I'd rather occasionally have the shot of iron and vitamins.

Comments (18)After watching the documentary, "The Cove", I wouldn't put anything past Japan either. If they are willing to try to pass off mercury-filled dolphin meat as other types of fish, I would not be surprised at other contaminated fish being sold also. Some practices by the Japanese gov't that The Cove reveals are horrifying to say the least. It's an excellent film, although extremely difficult to watch.

Comments (124)Hey mountaineergirl! Glad to know I'm not the only one from "Almost Heaven West Virginia!" I'm from the big city of Charleston -- fourth generation (at least); went off to college in central Kentucky, seminary on Boston's North Shore, honeymooned across America with everything I owned in a UHaul truck to settle in Los Angeles for 4 years, then came back east, inside the Capital Beltway in Maryland for 6 years, then finally home again, home again to Charlie West. Like Dorothy said, "There's no place like home!"...See MoreThailand?....Vietnam?....China?....Looking at fish labeling
Comments (25)I don't buy the fish from Asia or South America... a lot of things like farmed shrimp are helping deplete the world of ecologically-significant mangrove trees, in addition to their polluted rearing environments. Up here in the north, I have no idea where the Gulf of Mexico shrimp were caught, so I tend to avoid, but not as hard and fast as avoiding the Asian sourced shrimp. In season here, I have a source for rhode island red shrimp... I eat those with gusto! Most of the year they are in waters too deep to net. Sweeter and more delicate than regular shrimp, they don't ship well. I will buy some farmed fish - Arctic char when I can find it - it is raised in self-contained lakes in Canada or Iceland, and I trust those sources. I'll also eat rainbow trout. I love just about all fish, except maybe flounder (too bland). But for sustainability reasons there are some I no longer eat. My toro (bluefin tuna belly) days are done. I''m not fond of the canned fish taste (tuna, salmon), although there is a limited place for tinned sardines if packed in EVOO by a reputable company. I can't wait to get a recreational fishing license when I move. Fresh caught lake or river fish can't be beat! So, anyhow, for me location counts. North America or, when appropriate, northern Europe....See More- 11 years ago
