Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 Ok It is my fault I turned the news on. Ha! I must be more careful. The reporter was talking about food prep in case terrorist went after our food supply. He seemed to feel fresh vegetables would be a problem area. Only 1% of produce inspected. Migrant works doing the labor etc. The reporters suggestion cook foods thoroughly etc. Ok, how would y'all wash lettuce and vegetables that you would not normally cook, in order to feel secure enough to eat them? Oh I realize ideally we would only eat what we grew but then there is reality life. Thanking y'all in advance, Janet ---------- " May those that love us love us.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 Yes, it is sort of AT:) Wash them with some citrus eo in the wash water. The citric acid will not only remove dirt and other things, but most of them will also remove or partially destroy bacteria. You know that Fit wash stuff? That is basically baking soda, water, and orange oil (from the peel). I just use whatever citrus eo I have on hand. Just a drop or two to a bowl of wash water, stir, then swish veggies in it. You can add more if you want the flavor of the eo in the food. Sometimes, if I am doing a lot of veggies, then I add like a teaspoon or less of baking soda.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 This is when going to your local farmer and eating things in season and not relying on stuff from california is a good idea. We will be eating lots of squash and potatoes here in vermont this winter- were getting all the " last greens " now- then we will be sprouting. michelle - Janet Golden <janetkgolden Wednesday, October 24, 2001 7:47 PM Not At/ Question re: food prep > Ok It is my fault I turned the news on.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 Hi Michelle, How right you are.. we've grown some things here in Florida, and it seems we'll have another growing season yet Sure differerent from where we were (Connecticut)-- that was one small growing season if it didn't rain too much - last 4 years or so it did............ Vermont? We used to up there a lot, Stowe? (in the summer since it's a very beautiful time to go and besides, we don't ski!) We do have a farmer's market here every Friday - all year, which is good too. I already have the freezer pretty stocked up with all kinds of good things, made the spagetti sauce, marinara... etc's... have veggie's frozen since .. well, you never know, and I guess it's just plain old security to know you have things already.
