Waste

Both recipes started out about the same. Place stewing hen in a large pot with vegetables and seasonings. Add water to cover and simmer till tender. This is where any similarity ended.

The 1960’s cookbook continues with instructions for two meals (feeding eight) plus stock
1. chicken & rice recipe for four.
2. chicken stew for four.
3. use the rest of the juice for chicken stock.

The 2007 magazine?
1.Discard chicken and vegetables.
2. Use the stock.

What a waste of perfectly good food. Unfortunately this is all too common. On a recent TV cooking show a popular host discarded the outside stalks of celery because “they were too bitter.”
People wonder where their food dollar is going. I can tell them. Those with influence are teaching us to throw 90% of it straight into the garbage.
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle any one?

excerpt from Happy Daze L.I.F.E. after 40

To say that my dad was depressed would be an understatement. I tried to encourage him.
"The surgury is not a big deal, dad."
He replied, "It's not that. It's just that I suddenly realized I really am old.

Friends that's the daze. When did yours occur? Was it a health issue? A store clerk offering unrequested senior discounts? Doctor-recommended support hose?

God has a reason for old age. If he didn't he would have already moved us to the next place.

The Bible study/workbook,Happy Daze L.I.F.E. after 40 looks into all those things and more because aging is normal. It is happening to me and it is surely happening to you.

We'll discuss our purpose, body changes, lifestyle options. There is room for you to make notes, track your own progress and plan for the future. brendawoodauthor@yahoo.ca
