Carol,
I have that (Always in Good Taste,
1972) cookbook somewhere - I think it's packed away. I use a cookbook
called Collectible Delectables that was put out by
Rodef Sholom Temple
Sisterhood (where we belonged) in 1982. It also has some terrific recipes
for the holidays.
We had ten for Chanukah dinner on Sunday.
We had brisket, tzimmes, potato latkes with applesauce, green beans, peach
jello mold, challah, not to mention 3 desserts! My husband (who is not
Jewish) makes the best latkes in the world! I made tzimmes for the first
time. It was delicious. Here's the recipe:
|
|||
|
Tzimmes Cut up 2 lbs carrots and 4-6 sweet potatoes and boil until tender.
Mix 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2
cup honey, cup orange or apple juice, tsp cinnamon in bowl.
Mix dried fruit - prunes,
apricots, raisins, cranberries in sugar/honey mixture. (you can add
whatever fruits or nuts you choose)
Put 1/2 cooked carrots and
sweet potatoes in casserole dish (I also added sliced apples to mixture)
and spread 1/2 dried fruit over.
Add another layer carrots
and sweet potatoes and spread remaining dried fruit mixture over top.
You can sprinkle more brown
sugar on top. Add more juice if mixture seems too dry.
The dish only needs to be
baked (1/2 hr at 350) until hot but it's best to bake longer or make ahead
and reheat until carrots and potatoes soak up flavor.
|

Happy Holidays!
Karen
Oooooh,
Karen! That sounds so delicious I may be forced to round up
those ingredients and actually cook in spite of myself! Thanks so much
for sharing it and your menu - all of which sounds scrumptious! I'm
glad to hear you had such a fine opening to your holiday!
Happy
Hanukkah!

From NewsmaxMedia - 12/08/07 - "Type 2 Diabetes Controlled by Caveman Diet":
Type 2 Diabetes Controlled by Caveman Diet
Type 2 diabetes can best be controlled by following the simple diet of stone age people, according to new Swedish research. When they conducted the first clinical study of the effect of the typical stone age diet on modern humans, Swede scientists found that the TV ad slogan “It’s so simple a caveman can do it!” is more than just a snappy catchphrase.
Advocating a Paleolithic or stone age diet for health reasons is nothing new. In 1985 an article appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine suggesting a “caveman” or hunter-gatherer diet was much more in tune with our bodies than modern food. Stone age people ate lean meats, fish, nuts, vegetables, and fruit, and mankind ate this kind of diet for over 100,000 generations.
With the emergence of agriculture only 500 generations ago, mankind first began eating dairy products, cereals, and refined fat and sugar. And only the last two generations have grown up eating highly processed food.
Many scientists believe that human bodies are still best adapted to so-called stone age food, and researchers at Lund University, Sweden, set out to discover whether this is true. Dr. Staffan Lindeberg, spokesman for the researchers, said his group began by taking note that there are human populations today still eating hunter-gatherer diets in Papua New Guinea and other isolated locations, and that in these places there is “a remarkable absence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.”
In the new study, the researchers compared 14 patients who followed a Paleolithic diet for three months with 15 patients who followed a Mediterranean diet — which is considered the healthiest modern diet — made up of whole-grain cereals, low-fat dairy, fruits, vegetables, and refined fats. The Paleolithic group, in addition to eating only lean meats, fruits, fish, etc., also avoided salt, dairy foods, and grains. At the beginning of the study, all of the participants, according to the researchers, “had increased blood sugar after carbohydrate intake (glucose intolerance), and most of them had overt diabetes type 2. In addition, all had been diagnosed with coronary heart disease.”
After 12 weeks, the blood sugar rise in response to carbohydrates in the Paleolithic groups was markedly lower (-26%), while it was about the same in the Mediterranean group (-7%). At the end of the study, all of the Paleolithic patients had normal blood glucose.
The conclusion of the research is clear, according to Dr. Lindeberg: “If you want to prevent or treat diabetes type 2, it may be more efficient to avoid some of our modern foods than to count calories or carbohydrates.” So simple, a caveman can do it.

Carol...
Some people just don't seem to want share their birthdays and it sure is hard to
help them celebrate and wish them a happy birthday. I mean, after 60 you are
rolling downhill so fast, that it's hard to hear the shouts of "Happy Birthday"
as you pass by. My thanks to
Pat Beck Letzinger ('57 - of VA) for
letting all those secrets escape ! Ladies and Gentlemen...she has done you a
favor ! If Carol doesn't know, greetings she cannot bestow !
Dimples a.k.a. Sepi
Thanks, Dimples!
That's
so true!

From the President of the Class of 1965,
Joe Wingo of NC- 12/08/07:
Dear Carol,
I, like
Bill Campbell
('54 - of VA),
was able to hear the Statler Brothers loud and clear while listening to “There’s
A Man In Here” .I also agree it is powerful. As a long-time Statler Brothers
fan, I also encourage everyone to find “Have a Little Talk With Jesus” if
possible. It’s just the thing for getting you thru the day no matter what blocks
your path. Thanks to
Glenn
(Dye
- '60 - of TX) for sharing this.
I sincerely wish the joy and
blessings of this season fall upon all of “The Typhoon Nation”, if I might
borrow
Joe Madagan’s ('57 - of FL) term.
Sincere best wishes to you and yours,
Joe
Thank you, Joe Sweetie!
I
shan't rest until I see - and hear - this selection! Until I'm able to change my
own computer settings, I'll just need to check other people's computers!
