General kitchen advice

Buy Local Food : Cultivate an awareness of how far your food travels. When Rich Pirog, Food Systems Program Leader for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, tracked the miles traveled for 16 types of produce, he found that locally sourced fruits and vegetables such as apples, lettuce and tomatoes traveled an average of 56 miles, compared to 1,494 miles — nearly 27 times farther — for the same fruits and vegetables delivered through conventional retail channels. Things get stickier with combination foods, strawberry yogurt for example. Pirog came up with 2,216 miles by adding up the distance traveled for the yogurt’s milk, sugar and strawberries. That figure could be slashed by 90 percent if you buy plain yogurt and stir in some locally grown honey and fruit.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 1/2 c Catsup

1 c Cider vinegar

1/3 c Vegetable oil

1/3 c Worcestershire sauce

1/2 c Brown sugar; firmly packed

3 tb Prepared yellow mustard

2 Or 3 cloves Garlic; minced

1 Lemon; cut in halves

In a saucepan, combine catsup, vinegar, oil, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and garlic. Squeeze lemon juice into sauce and add 1 lemon half shell. Heat slowly for about 10 minutes. Sauce does not have to reach the boil, but heating blends flavor. Use sparingly as a basting sauce for fresh pork, ham, ribs, or chicken. Heat additional sauce and serve as a table sauce. Makes about 3 cups.
