Soy products and rabbit meat may be two of the decade's best discoveries, for example. Inside this issue of the Torch are a dozen stories about wholesome foods that may be grown, raised, bought or foraged by the budgetminded consumer. And as a follow-up , on Wednesday, April 8, the Torch and the Associated Students of Lane ' Community CoUege will sponsor a '' Food for Thought'• exhibit in the Center Building Food Services area -- a casual gathering of food resource people who will answer questions about gardening, ,• food preservation, wild food gathering, butchering, food drying, and the like. The Food Services Department itself will offer Willamette Valley vegetables in several preparations, and give interested patrons a chance to sample two recipes using rabbit meat.

While it's a form of recreation, it's also a means of providing food for the table. A license is required and can be obtained at most sporting goods stores for $9.25. It's good for one calendar year, from January 1 to December 31. A person may wonder if it's possible to ··save·· money by fishing the Pacific. That depends on how one values their time. Many enjoy the thrill of fishing the ocean, but one can never be guaranteed of catching any fish. One of the major expenses of the sport is the cost of the boat. Charter boats are available on the Oregon coast. Newport Sportfishing is an establishment owned by Walt Marchel and his wife. Oceangoing boats can be charted year round. Two or three trips are offered daily in the summer, and winter trips can be charted, weather permitting. Four, five, and seven hour trips are available, costing $25, $30, and $42 respectively per person. The use of a pole, a rod and reel, and bait are included in the cost. Like so many things, chartering is cheaper by the dozen. A group of twelve can charter a boat for $75 per hour. Two more people can come along for only $5 more. Bad weather occassionally makes the Newport bar inaccessible by boat. During such times, Newport Sportfishing offers crabbing excursions. The cost is $6 per person per hour, with a Apartment /ife? Bringing the farm into the home minimum of two hours. There is a built-in limitation by Anne O'Leary when it comes to fishing. That's for The TORCH because there are bag limits on all types of fish.

But Americans are reluctant to eat any rodent-like animal, says Patter son. The backyard opens up numerous possibilities: • Rabbits. They are a good meat source, and take four pounds of feed to produce a weight gain of one pound. Their food can be either grown or purchased, she says. • Chickens. Patterson says they are good for meat and eggs, and they have an edge over rabbits because they gain more quickly and are ready to butcher sooner. They usually require commercial food, which tends to be expensive. And they are illegal to raise in the city of Eugene. • Ducks. A source of both meat and eggs, ducks lay a large egg that tastes similar to a chicken egg but is lower in cholesterol. Patterson notes that they are messy and like to have water to splash around in. A plastic wading pool does nicely if a stream or pond isn 't available. • Catfish . They are a hardy fish that can be raised in a portable swimming pool and they scrounge for most of their food, according to Patterson. Gardening, too, can be ac- Meat and eggs can be raised almost anywhere. complished almost anywhere--in a window box, on an apartment balcony, or in the traditional garden plot. A window box will probably be limited to herbs and salad vegetables, while a balcony equipped with containers can be used to grow almost anything except large root crops , like Heard about Mulligan's soup? Soup is one of the most nutritional meals you can eat. Not only is it good for you, it's good to your pocket-book as well. In these days of inflation and high prices, it's nice to get your money's worth. . Most folks think of soup only We'll See You Soon At: on cold winter days, but it's not just for cold days. So, when you want an excellent meal at an excellent price, come on into Mulligan's for the best food you'be tasted in years! Our soups, rolls and pies are Home-made from scratch to bring you the best in quality and taste. potatoes. In a regular size Qarden plot, you can grow enough vegetables for a family of four, says Patterson, and the only real limits are the size of the plot, and sometimes, the damp climate of the area. Patterson recommends the following books for any prospective gardeners, to help plan and maintain a garden: Growing Organic Vegetables West of the Cascades, by Steve Solomon , Chinese Gardening, by Peter Chan, and Postage Stamp Garden Book, by Duane Newcomb. The final topic, foraginQ , was presented with a word of caution from Patterson. She says eating wild foods can be deadly if you can 't distinguish poisonous plants from the others . (One plant, the water hemlock , can kill you if you even use the stem for a whistle.) Before doing any foraging, Patterson recommends taking Jay Marston' s class , Edible and Poisonous Plants, which is offered by the LCC Science Department. The class teaches how to identify and use various wild plants in your diet. Although it 's time consuming , Patterson says foraging is a pleasant experience because it's a way to exercise and enjoy your surroundings, too. So raising food is not limited to a farm or a huge garden plot as Pat Patterson explained . To get more detailed information on these subjects , Patterson and others from the Extension Agency will be available at the '' Food for Thought '' conference , scheduled April 8.

Tofu, which is simply soybean curd, contains high quality protein, no cholesterol and few calories. Because of its smooth texture and ability to absorb and complement other flavors, tofu is a most versiti le form of soybean. It can be used as filling in Mexican dishes, in casseroles or in place of ricotta cheese in any Italian recipe . Blended, tofu can be made into dips, sauces, cream pies and even cheesecake. Nobuko Lee, owner of LEE'S Natural Food and. Produce on Franklin Boulevard, in Eugene, LCC class says, ''Western people ... eating meat all their life, can't think of food without thinking of meat.'' But she remembers meals in Japan being centered around tofu. Meat was the oddity. Tofu can be made in almost any kitchen, or purchased freshly made for less than $1 per pound. Tempeh, like cheese, yogurt or sourdough, is made by natural propegation of bacteria: the soybeans are cultured with a mold called Rhizopus Oligisporus, which partially breaks down the protein. The resulting product becomes highly digestable and, like tofu, is high in protein with no cholesterol. While even the local Safeway market sells fresh tofu, tempeh remains a natural food store item. Tempeh, unlike tofu, can be frozen and is usually found in the teaches foraging for wild foods by Anne O'Leary for The TORCH If you'd like to pick your own food fresh, and do so fairly cheaply, the LCC Science DepartmeQt pff~r§ a class that cari help yoo ... ,, ... ,..,...,, . Edible and Poisonous Plants, (Bl 103), taught by Jay Marston, is an applied botany class that teaches students to identify plants and turn the edible ones into meals. Three sections of the class will be offered Spring Term for four Science credits. The first task for students in the class is to learn the basic botanical skills required to identify plants. Marston estimates that approximately 30-40 per cent of class time is spent doing field work. Second Nature - Students take a trip to Siltcoos Lake, near Florence, and spend at least a day looking at different plants found on the coast. Marston spends one whole week there and students can stay, too, if they wish, preparing meals from witd ·toads each night. During class sessions students get the chance to prepare meals using wild foods . The class is split into groups which develop menus ar d fix a meal for the rest of the c'ass using at least four edible s1 ,ecies. Marst Jn and his assistants also prepare an elaborate meal for the class when classes first begin. Last spring, when the class was last offered, the menu consisted of mussels, Korean pepper algae soup, algae stir fry, Navajo sunflower bread, cattail crepes for dessert, and strawberry-yerba tea.

He says it takes from 200 to 300 hours for him and his assistants to put together the meal they make for the class. Gathering plants is the most time consuming of the activities. When Marston makes cattail crepes, for instance, he must first find cattails, then retrieve their roots and grind the roots into flour--all of which is very time consuming. Even though wild foods are an alternative food source, most peapie don't have time to pursue the idea for everyday subsitance, ac· to Mars ton. But if you do cor drng have time and like knowing exactly where your food is from, wild edible plants may be a viable option for you. 1981 Page 5 Food For -. Thought Is brown beautiful? by Aime O' Leary for The TORCH Allow me to introduce you to the '' Brown Family.'' Meet brown flour (whole wheat), brown rice and brown sugar. These products are gaining popularity as people seek better nutrition from the foods they eat. Some bakeries, like the Home Bakery, 2727 Willamette, and the Drive 'n Save Bakery, 2370 W. 11th, report that people are buying more whole grain products, perhaps twice as much. Other merchants, such as the Sweet Shop, 1136 Highway 99 N, and the L and L Bakery, 1591 Willamette, say they haven't noticed any surge in the purchase of these products lately. But people are beginning to wonder if the ''brown'' products are really better for them and if they're economical to use. • Whole wheat flour does have added nutritional value. When milled, the entire wheat berry is ground, maximizing the vitamins , and minerals found in flour. • White flour has long been more popular than brown. Historically, it was a status symbol because most people could only afford the less-milled brown flour . White flour was a luxury reserved for special occasions and wealthy people. • White flour has the bran and germ removed when milled, which takes out the highest concentration of vitamins . although thiamine, niacin , riboflavin and iron are added so the flour is considered '' enr,·ched.'' Storage is a problem with whole wheat flour because of its high fat content. It becomes rancid more quickly than white flour. For this reason, Loretta Plaa, LCC nutrition instructor, recommends buying flour in small quantities and storing it in a cool place. Another disadvantage of whole wheat flour is that it contains a chemical substance called phytates which, according to Plaa, "ties up" some nutrients, like iron, and keeps them from being used by the body. Most nutrition books agree though, that a persons diet would have to contain large amounts of phytates and be deficient in nutrients to cause health problems. Ironically, whole wheat flour costs more than white, ranging in price from $1 .39 to $1.59 per five pound bag at most stores. If you prefer buying in smaller quantities, some supermarkets and health food stores offer the whole wheat flour in bulk. • Brown rice is much like whole wheat flour in that it has more nutrients than white rice , because it is processed less and the outer hull is left attached. Brown rice does take 15 to 20 minutes longer to cook than white rice because of the hull. Its price is comparable to white , costing $1 to $1.10 per 24 ounce bag. • Brown sugar is the most controversial member of the '· Brown See 'Brown,' Pg. 10 - Page 6 April 2 -f., 1981 The TORCH Homemade yogurt saves money Food For ThOught by Paula Case of The TORCH a What price, birds? by Joseph B. Mitchell for The TORCH A person can save a lot of money by raising his/her own sheeo and • / ·~" tor table purpo:Js, but won , ___,e much money raising poultry . Cattle and sheep are good buys , according to Terry Fitzpatrick , operator of the Eugene Livestock Market. A feeder calf can cost around $200 and weigh 250 pounds. ·' You can figure the animal would cost you $100 in grain and $12 for shots, " said Fitzpatrick. " There is a definite savings in raising a calf; and if someone has a pasture they can save half on their meat bill, " he said. But if cost alone is a factor, poultry costs more for the individual to raise for meat than it costs in the store . " They consume too much grain and their conversion of grain to edible meat is poor ,'' says Randy Carnahan, a do-it-yourselfer. So why does Diana Tish of JCO Feeds notice an increase in do-ityourselfers? Carnahan ' s reason for raising poultry is, ··I've worked in the commercial poultry industry and know what kind of medication th ey use on the poultry ; the high protein feeds alter the taste and quali ty, and I believe my birds taste better . The medications are not harmful to people but I feel better raising my own .' · Bu t it can be expensive to begin raising your own poultry. Day-old chicks can cost from 55 cents to 68 cents each . The two most common breed s available are ttie Cornish Cross for meat, and the Sex- linked for eggs . The Cornish Cottons, Linens, Silks, Rayons, Summer Prints and Solids New Fabrics · Cross reach butchering age at six weeks and the Sex-!inked begin laying eggs at 28 weeks. The Cornish Cross aren •t good for laying because they eat too much, and the Sex-linked don't grow fast enough for table purposes . Carnahan suggests another approach for the individual who wants a small home flock. •'Some of the old breeds are still available and are good for both meat and eggs, ' · Carnahan said. Examples of these breeds are The Rhode Island Red and the Barred Rock. Other requirements for raising poultry , making it more difficult and expensive, are sanitary waterers and feeders . The fowl must have clean water and food at all times . And if you start with baby chicks , you must have a brooder to keep them warm: the larger brooders can cost over $100 . A good incubator, for hatct1ing the eggs , costs between $100 and $250, depending on the size. Some people prefer to let the tien hatch and raise the chicks, but this will take her out of production and cost you money. Besides the cost of buying and raising animals , a person must be aware of health care costs. Larger animals can catch white muscle , worms , pink eye , lice , ringworm, and more . Fitzpatrick says , ··The veterinarian bill would run about $12 for innoculations ." lnnocu lation is a form of preventive medicine . If it isn 't innocu lated , you could lose a valuable animal. Poul try can contract as many diseases as larger animals. Because the present method of raising pou ltry is to confine a large num ber of birds in a small space, it wouldn't take much to infect an entire flock. You can combat diseases in poultry by feeding young ct1icks medicated feed and by keeping feed trays and water fountains clean. After the chicks are several weeks old they can be taken off medication, but the chicken t1ouse should be disinfected and the litter changed after each batch. If the flock does contract a disease all the birds may have to be destroyed. •• •• • ••••••••••••••••••••••••• Bring this coupon • • • : • • •• • : APRIL SPECIAL AT : The Turn Ing Point • Perms $30 Reg. $37.50 (Does not include Haircut) 343-4813 for Appt. 2660Oak Ask for Clair • • Haircut $8 : Reg. $10-$12 • • fad Eugene Yogurt. It 's adopted when people took up jogging. But if you' re a pennypincher it can be an expensive habit. Sara Thrash, assistant manager of the Natural Food Center at Valley River Center, says making your own yogurt is a way to save money. '' It takes so very little (ingredients) .'' The Natural Food Center sells three different brands of yogurt makers. The Salton one-quart maker runs $15, the Big Batch two-quart maker sells for $12, and the more expensive Corning Ware processor is $60. The yogurt machine is a cooker set at a constant temperature that turns the mixed ingredients into pudding consistancy. To make a batch three cups of milk, one half cup of powdered milk and .eiqht ounces of plain yogurt starter are simply blended together. One tablespoon of honey can be added for extra flavor, but Thrash says " It 's better just to use fresh fruit while you eat it. " One serving of homemade yogurt costs approximately 34 cents . LCC student Chris Abramson makes her own yogurt without the help of a machine. Her recipe is as follows: Natural Yogurt cup commercial starter o lain yogurt 1 quart of milk Pour into jars and set in large pan f warm water with water coming o the brim of the jars. Set in warm oven (about 120 F) 12.nd keep water between 105 P nd 120 F, for four hours or unti ogurt is the texture of pudding. Abramson agrees with Thrash's theory that yogurt Rota-tilling saves time by Kay Ullman for The TORCH The first step in planting a garden is preparing the soil. Unless you want to spend the time and muscle power to dig your garden by hand , renting a tiller is probably the best method. A tiller has engine driven revolving tines that do the digging . In the Eugene-Springfield area at least 10 rental outlets stock tillers. Junction City and Cottage Grove each have a rental outlet. The cost of renting one of the ~wo basic types of hand guided tillers varies from $4 to $7 .50 per hour. Front-tine tillers rent for about $4 per hour. These have digging tines in front of the wheels. It takes a lot of muscle power for the operator to guide one. If you hit a stubborn clump of grass or clay you must hold back on the tiller to to keep it from trying to ride the obstacle .

Sprouts: Cheap and easy Deborah Allbritton for The TORCH Snug in a glass jar, quietly tucked away in the cool darkness of a kitchen cupboard, tiny seeds or beans burst and sprout. And when a seed sprouts, vitamin C and other nutrients magically materialize. Sprouts are rapidly becoming an everyday part of the American diet. Delicate white wisps topped with a light green nub now adorn the sandwiches purchased by students in the LCC cafeteria. Make-your-own salads find sprouts sweetly mingling with assorted fresh vegetables at the cafeteria Salad Bar. Even sweeter is the fact that anyone can grow sprouts right in his or her own kitchen for one tenth the market cost. According to Carol Flinders, nutritionist and co-author of the book "Laurel's Kitchen," Mung beans, garbanzos, whole dried peas, lentils, alfalfa seeds, wheat berries and mustard seeds can be sprouted effectively. In her book Flinders explains an easy method for growing sprouts: '' Be sure the seeds have not been treated chemically for Flinders says. A planting , health food store is the best place to buy seeds for sprouting . First, soak 1 tablespoon of seeds or 1/3 cup of dried beans in one cup of warm water overnight. On the second day rinse the seeds completely and drain. Then put them in a glass quart jar covered with a damp washcloth or piece of cheesecloth; fasten with a ru bber band and store in a dark cupboard. The seeds should be rinsed twice each day, and drained of excess moisture each time. "Sprouted Mu ng beans and lentils are ready in just three days. So are soybeans. Wheat berries take just two days to reach their peak nutritionally, while alfalfa seeds take four to five days, Flinders says. When sprouts are ready they should be rinsed in cold water. (Alfalfa seeds wi ll shed their cases at this poi nt, wh ich can then be thrown ayay.) A few hours of sun li nght will increase sprouts' nutrient value and eye appeal.

EQUIPMENT You use basic home pressure canning equipment: a steam Pressure Cooker, quart or pint jars with lids, sharp knives and a cutting board. Any equipment that will come in contact with meat should be washed with hot soapy water to help prevent the spread of bacteria that causes spoilage. Meats lack acid and are more susceptible to spoilage so you must work quickly and in a clean environment to insure safety. Meat should be kept cool (40 F) until it 's canned, or if the meat is kept for more than three days prior to canning, it should be frozen and thawed in tlie refrigerator just before you plan to can 11 . the jars in the Pressure Cooker, then process them according to the manufacturer's directions.

'Eco system in your back yard' by Chris Roop for The TORCH Wearing blue jeans and boots, Gary Olson pokes a briar pipe through his carefully trimmed beard. He begins to puff while expounding the virtues of rabbits, fish, frogs, and crawdads. A rutted gravel .drive winds up the hillside to a terrace where he lives and works. Fir trees surround the property and march uphill. Muscovy ducks swim in a large pond that separates his A-frame and the new rabbit barn, which is home for some 3,000 to 4,000 New Zealand White rabbits. The rabbits live in long rows of sterile wire mesh cages suspended from the ceifing. Each morning, an employee floods troughs under the cages to carry rabbit droppings out of the building through a drain pipe and into a composting pit. Although Olson, an expoliceman, still tries to fight crime, he's traded his gun for a commercial rabbitry, Terraced Hills Farms Inc., which he founded in 1976. Because of escalating feed costs, Olson believes rabbits will be one of the few profitable animals to raise for meat in coming years. '' Any other animal eats grain,'' says Olson, "whereas the rabbit doesn't need grain. Rabbits can eat forage items (grasses) that humans can't. So when you start figuring ten pounds of grain to put a pound of meat on a cow, versus four pounds of forage food ... to put a pound of meat on a rabbit, I say rabbit is going to be an up and coming protein food." Olson, who eats rabbit about three times a week, says besides being cheaper to feed, rabbits require very little space, and reproduce quickly. Olson con- GRAND OPENIN G BERRY'S PRODUC E APRIL3, 4&5 tends he can grow as much meat in a 30x36 cage as a cattle rancher can raise on an acre of ground. His 80 does each have seven litters a year. His goal is to have 360 does. Olson became interested in raising rabbits as food while working as a police officer. He says an old man showed him the best way to do it. "Now this was in the city, no rabbits allowed, so he's going to show a cop what he's got: he's got rabbits in a greenhouse, all around the wall. Under those he has worm bins. Everything is nice and neat. There's vegetables and stuff growing in the greenhouse. "He's .,eating the rabbit meat, selling the skins, harvesting the worms and selling them, and taking the worm castings and putting them on the garden. He was feeding the garden to the rabbits and eating from the garden. "And I said 'you know, that's a hell of a nice thing.' I could see that an ecological, workable system in your back yard is better than trucking in feed from Wyoming to a cattle feedlot in Eastern Oregon. . .when in actuality you can raise a rabbit in your back yard." Olson says rabbit meat doesn't require an expensive freezer that will take up kitchen space. ''You butcher a rabbit and you eat it. There's no storage ... You butcher a cow and what do you do with the other 800 pounds of meat after you've eaten a pound?" A burgeoning rabbit business and growing disillusionment with police work caused Olson to quit his 11 year career in the force in 1979 and start raising rabbits full time. "It boiled down to 11 years as a police officer trying to keep the tide from coming in. The tide (the criminal element) is gaining at a greater pace than society can cope with. I ain't going to fight the tide anymore: I'm going to build a bridge across it, and the bridge is with people being fed. ··If you have enough people whose hunger is satisfied, and the ecology is a little better, I don't believe you' re going to have the criminal element that you had."

Olson's expertise in rabbit raising comes mostly from personal experience and reading "every book I could lay my hands on in the library.". He contends worms are an integral part of any eco-system involving rabbits. "Rabbits and worms are like bread and butter,'' according to Olson. ''That rabbit has a large amount of manure that, collected and fed straight to worms, the worms will turn into the finest fertilizer in the world, which grows the finest food. 'Man cannot live by rabbit alone, he must have a carrot.' '' Worm castings must work: last year, while most people were cussing inclement weather and their own puny plants, Olson and his family were busy canning copious amounts of fresh fruits and produce; enough to fill his mother's fruit shed and over-flow into his own house. "You can grow anything in worm castings," he says. Having improved and expanded on the old man's original ecosystem, Olson plans to feed the worms he grows to catfish, frogs, and crawdads in his pond, which he' II then harvest for food. "It's an ecological system you can do in your own back yard. In your typical four foot.geep ~lastic _ c swimming pool you can put, cat,. ,, fish, crawdads, and frogs, and you feed worms to them and throw your worm casting on the garden. Virtually every house in town has a back yard that will allow people to produce their own food." Olson considers staying at home and raising his own food to be the good life. ''I've got enough mmoney for beer, and what else is there?" he says with a smile. "Oh, and matches for my pipe." Olson finds it difficult to believe that after police indoctrin~tion and service he could be promoting such a radical alternative to arrest and incarceration, "But I believe in it!'' he says.

You learn a trade that's going to stand you in good stead the rest of your life, then you can do what you want,'' says Stewart McGrath, LCC women's soccer coach, of his birthplace. Butchering has been his trade off and on for the last 14 years. He's an expert at it -- from preparing the animals for slaughter to cutting up the meat for packaging . His thorough knowledge of the trade is in demand because more people are fighting higher meat prices by raising their own livestock to be custom slaughtered. McGrath is extemely energetic; he believes in hard work, enthusiastically sharing his experiences as a butcher and aspects of the profession with anyone interested. He loves travel. He has butchered throughout England, France , Norway, Germany and now the U.S. " When I'd go to school in the morning, " he says, remembering his home in Caine, Lancashire , England, ' ' I had to walk down one hill and up another hill, and at the bottom, in a valley, was a slaughterhouse. As a kid, 11 or 12, just inquisitive, I'd walk in there and watch them and gradually the guys would ask me to do odd jobs, like sweeping, cleaning. Before I'd left school (at 15), I could butcher a sheep and a pig by myself. ' ' At 17, McGrath was butchering beef and making a "man's" wage of $300 a week for a 12 hour day. Labor included weighing , bleeding, splitting, skinning , hauling , and hanging the animals in a freezer. After working all over the English countryside, McGrath set aside his trade and worked at other jobs for a few years. He needed a break. '' As an accomplished tradesman , I knew I could always go back to being a butcher, '' he says confidently. " But I wasn 't making near as much money, even by working three jobs at a time , so I went back to slaughtering." He worked in a big packing house in Lontlon, where he was first exposed to ' ' kosher killing, '' which involves slitting the throat of the animal in one continuous cut with a perfect edged '' kosher knife. '' This method prevents the -Thought The director looked at me and I opened my backpack and got out my knife box. The director said, 'Come with me,' and everybody came. They'd been slaughtering big Dutch veal calves. The director told me to skin the leg of a calf, so I whipped out my knife, skinned the leg, and five minutes later, I was working," he recalls. Wide open spaces brought McGrath back to the Western U.S. in search of work. He found a job at a custom slaughter house animal from feeling any pain. "It took some getting used to," he laughs. "It was pretty revolting.'' Kosher killing has been practiced for thousands of years in Israel, Pakistan, and Arabia. The theory, says McGrath, is that to kill otherwise is not kosher because, "If you eat the blood, you eat the life of the animal.'' At other slaughterhouses, animals were shot in the skull with a compressed air pistol, Plan your shopping by Fred Boyer of The TORCH A family of four may be throwing away almost $90 a month by not planning and organizing shopping trips and family menus. "Tt1e planning and organizing, plus a small amount of work, takes about two hours a week," says Beth Naylor, coordinator of the consumer and homemaking areas of the LCC Home Economics Department. Putting it another way, the benefits of planned and organized shopping and menumaking are equivalent to an easy, part-time job paying about $1 Oan hour, or free gasoline, or free utilities, or the equivalent of somebody else making the car or credit card payment. During her three-hour workshop -- Feeding Four On $45 A Week -- Naylor covers the psychology of shopping, the best markets for shopping, shopping lists, and ways to economize when preparing meals on a small scale, among other topics. which stuns the animal, but in Bandon, Oregon.

PERPETUAL SHOPPING LIST Having decided where you' re going to do your grocery shopping, and that you' re going to try to do it on a Tuesday morning, your next step is to make out a " perpetual shopping" list. This is a list of the foods you use daily that you will always use, and which will provide your family with good nutrition (no " junk" foods included.) Whenever you see any of these items on sale, stock up. On the other hand, if you' re thinking about buying some food that is not on the list, don't do it. Impulse buying is the shopper's biggest weakness, and the whole store is designed to encourage it. Don t give in! You can obtain a copy of the suggested list in the Home Economics Department.

It's no longer necessary to live on the seashore to enjoy clams, lobster, crab, shrimp and other sea foods. The freshness and flavor of many favorite seafoods are captured by quick freezing. Local markets sell about two hundred varieties of fish. It can be found fresh, frozen, canned, dried, smoked, and pickled. Cured fish (preserved by salting or smoking) is found in small amounts. This delicacy is very popular in Scandinavian countries. At this time of year, Chinook and Silver salmon are going for about $5.15 per pound, with C and R Seafoods undercutting the market at $4.95 for Chinook. Newman 's Fish.
