Low Calorie Food and Drink Dishes You Can Make at Home

Is it time that you set yourself on a diet? Not just any diet but a whole new lifestyle change? If so, then perhaps you want to forget the Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers type pre-packaged foods and set yourself on a course for perpetual low calorie living? Is that what you want to do now?
One thing that you need to know is that if you are worried about calories you need to switch to eating whole wheat breads, low fat milks and power down the fruits and vegetables. In fact you can eat unlimited vegetables and not get fat. May I suggest that you have for a snack a vegetable dip plate with perhaps;

• Carrots


• Broccoli


• Beats


• Cherry Tomatoes


• Celery

And for the dip do not use salad dressing, but rather use Virgin Olive Oil, a couple of tablespoons and sprinkle on top some spices like basil and garlic and Italian Seasoning instead. It is quite tasty and actually better than a Thousand Islands or Blue Cheese dressing. It is better for you and tastes better too.

When considering a snack, blend up a fruit drink smoothie at home. Blenders are really inexpensive and you can get a killer blender for under $20.00 at Wal-Mart. There really is no excuse for you not to try these simple techniques and recipes to stay healthy, thin, happy and fit eating the low-calorie way.

I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.

Are Plastic Food and Beverage Containers Safe?

Question: Have plastic food and beverage containers been proven safe?
Answer: No.

During the film's graduation party in THE GRADUATE, Mr. McGuire pulls Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) aside to offer sage advice for his future. His future would be one word: "plastics."
Of course, we all know Mr. McGuire's advice and prognostication was correct. Plastics can only be made by man in his infinite wisdom, hence they are patentable. The profit in the manufacture of plastics has been huge. Plastics are everywhere. Plastic manufacturing now uses 4% of the world's oil production annually. Automobiles are now 9% plastic. It is of my special concern that more foods and beverages are being put into plastic containers. Plastics are ubiquitous now. They persist and accumulate in our society as their production exceeds their chemical degradation rate.

 Harmful chemicals from plastics are now commonly found in groundwater, waterways, and drinking water.While standing out in the summer heat in Phoenix, Arizona in 1981, my girlfriend asked me what was causing the film to form on the inside of the windshield of her new Mazda 626. She said that she had to wipe it off every morning so she could see to drive to work. I didn't know then. I do now! It was phthalates, the chemical that was added to the plastic dash cover to soften it and prevent cracking. I'm sure by now most of the phthalate has evaporated into our atmosphere and the Mazda is in some junkyard with a cracked up dash.

Phthalates are EDC's (Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals.) They are chemicals found in recycle codes #1 through #6 plastics. Another EDC (Bisphenol A) is in recycle code #7 plastics. All of these types of plastic EDC's interfere with the function of sex hormones receptors. In THE GRADUATE Benjamin was quite a stud. I wonder if he's now taking one of the popular drugs to treat erectile dysfunction, a disorder that has become one of the many epidemics in our new plastic world.

In 2003 a group of Croatian scientists reported that phthalates in plastics dissolved in various solutions. They used a variety of plastic items, including plastic food containers. After 10 days of sitting in distilled water, an average of 55.4 mg/ of phthalates from each kilogram of plastic "migrated" into the water. To a lesser degree the phthalates from plastics dissolved into acetic acid 3% (44.4 mg/kg) and 10% ethyl alcohol (32.3 mg/kg).

The Croatian study shows what Benjamin would suspect, if he took chemistry in college: Water is the universal solvent; and it dissolves even the primarily fat soluble phthalates. The more that you filter water to remove other toxic solutes, the more aggressive water becomes in its power to reach osmolar equilibrium by dissolving its non-inert containers.

What is also obviously missing from the Croatians' controlled, static testing model are the temperature variations that the plastic bottled water product goes through to get from bottling point to the mouth of the consumer. Transport trucks probably reach a very high temperature in the non refrigerated cargo areas that carry PETE (recycle code #1 plastic) bottled water in the summer. Heat facilitates the dissolution of phthalates into the water. Then the bottles may be stored for a much longer time than 10 days prior to consumption. Furthermore, freezing the containers produces micro-fissures in the interior surface of the plastic bottle container as the water expands, exponentially exposing more solute surface area. Traumatic handling or any motion of the package will further enhance diffusion. Applying the laws of physics, all of these factors clearly by extrapolation will increase the water dissolution of the plastic containers.

Fatty foods in plastic containers are even more problematic, as fats are absorbed differently and carry their phthalate solvents into our bodies more easily. Phthalates bio-accumulate because of their fat solubility. Phthalates concentrate in such fat organs in our bodies such as brains, prostates, testicles, ovaries, breasts and, unfortunately, breast milk. (The other popular food alternatives for infants are worse. Commercial baby formulas are loaded with the manmade phthalates.)

I think the worst example of food containment in plastic is milk. All milk except non-fat milk contains fat. Cow milk itself represents a major source of the fats ingested by the public, especially children. Cattle concentrate these chemicals by bioaccummulation because EDC's from plastics are ubiquitous in water and most animal food sources. Meat and dairy products are therefore a major contributor to this group of human food chain derived toxins, regardless of their containment. It is now irresponsible to add more phathalates to the products by putting the milk products in plastic containers that add MORE EDC's.

Cattle have intentially been "fattened up" by adding hormones AND unintentially "fattened up" more by the contamination of cattle food and water by EDC's. The combination of these chemicals passed on to the consumers in concentrated form in milk products will most likely exacerbate obesity in humans that consume them as well.

Our current scientific knowledge and common sense screams for an end to consumer purchase of milk bottled in plastics. Until milk companies have their products quantatatively analysed for these EDC's by competent independent laboratories, my strong recommendation is to avoid purchase and consumption of milk and dairy products contained in plastic.

Sadly, the Croatian authors' 2003 conclusions about the safety of plastics were: "These (exposure) levels would not present a hazard for human health, not even for a prolonged period of time." However, what was deemed acceptable levels of phthalates in 2003 now is recognized as "crystal clearly" too high.

Selective interpretations from the ACC (American Chemistry Council) lead to this erroneously high level being "set" for past toxicity standards. The ACC is an "industry group" advisor. It's much like the wolf guarding the henhouse. Thanks to the ACC efforts, control regulations placed upon this chemical class are minimal. An ongoing perpetuation of phthalate approval for use in virtually everything, including containment of food, has resulted. In fact, the perpetuation of these mythological high safety standards has resulted in the majority of our food being wrapped or contained in plastics that leach EDC's into our foods.

The ACC's Phthalate Esters Panel is made up representatives from BASF, Eastman Chemical, Exxon-Mobil Chemical, Ferro, and Teknor Apex Corporations. After graduating, Benjamin could have gone to work for any of these companies to share the wealth that plastics manufacturing have reaped, instead of hanging around and sporting Mrs. Robinson for the summer!

I love one of the rationalization examples the ACC makes on their PHTHALATES INFORMATION CENTER webpage: "Thanks to phthalates, your nail polish doesn't chip." I wonder if they are aware of the "unexplained" high rate of breast cancer in manicurists. I also wonder if they are aware that most breast tissues and breast cancers have sex hormone receptors that are acted upon by the EDC's found in plastics.

To further confuse the public, the ACC webpage also redefines the PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE which in its un-perverted definition simply is: A (chemical) should not be considered safe until it is proven safe. Environmentalists who are trying to unravel the cause-effect relationships of environment chemicals, to the otherwise unexplained epidemics of various diseases now affecting man as well as every species on our planet, encourage its application. The ACC's watered down version suggests that cost effective, fearless risks are worth taking.

Can the ACC keep up the phthalate safety illusion forever? The American Tobacco Association almost got away with it!

We now know that EDC's, like hormones themselves require very minute amounts to have physiologic impact. EDC's are active in parts per trillion! For example, the usual adult maintenance dose of levothyroxine, a drug to replace depleted natural thyroid hormone in hypothyroidism, is 1.6 micrograms/Kg/day. Why would I even think about saying that a dose in the milligrams (1000 times as much as a microgram) of a known EDC would be safe, especially for a child or developing fetus?
We now know that phthalates also work in synergy with chemicals in other classes to exert "more than additive" physiologic effects.

Previous experiments in rodents showed that high levels of phthalates interfer with testosterone during gestation resulting in birth defects of the genitalia, testicular cancer, and infertility in the rats.
The ACC inspired acceptable level of phthalate myth should be blown out of the water with a recent study completed by the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. This study of 85 human infant boys reported in May 2005 showed that phthalate levels found normally in the general population adversely influenced sexual development. The phthalate exposure these children had correlated with smaller penis size and incomplete testicular descent, which is a condition that greatly increases the risk of testicular cancer if left untreated.

Solution 1 - Choose glass containers over plastic for purchase and storage of food and beverages including milk and water.

American children can consume several milligrams of phthalate each day.

I wonder if THE GRADUATE's Mr. Robinson noticed that most of the teenage girls now-days have bigger breasts than his seductive wife (gynecomastia), and that they begin thelarche (breast development) and menarche (menstruation) at a significantly younger age, or that many more have an endocrine pathology called PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).

The chances of a woman getting breast cancer in her lifetime has probably gone from a risk of less than 1 in 10 (10%) before THE GRADUATE was made to a 1 in about 7.5 (13.2 %) rate today.

The choice to avoid food chain plastics is a "no-brainer" when you understand how these chemicals persist and accumulate in our environment, and how they function in our bodies!

Solution 2 - Choose stainless steel containers over plastic for storage of food and beverages including water.

Unfortunately, we are past the point of no return with phthalates. Just like cigarettes I think we'll have to live as prisoners with their impact on future generations. The only defense we have at this time is to individually choose to avoid them when we can, to mitigate their effects on our health.

Phthalates clearly act upon hormone receptors in both men and women. A concern is the potential phthalate impact on breast and other hormone sensitive tissue in human females, but phthalate's demasculinizing potential on males is more of a threat to all species on the planet.

Unlike Mr. McGuire, I think we can choose a better future by avoiding his "one word." We should start by trying to reduce plastics in our food chain exposures.

Bottom line:
I would strongly advise consumers to purchase beverages and non-solid food products packaged in glass rather than plastic if given the choice.

Bread Without Yeast - Baking Soda Bread

There are many reasons that yeast must be excluded from a diet. Whether prescribed by a doctor or a simple allergy mandates it, a yeast free diet is achievable. Diets have to be drastically altered due to the widespread use of yeast in modern day cuisine. One of the most difficult foods to become accustomed to is bread without yeast. As nearly all breads are raised with the use of yeast bacteria, it is with great difficulty that one obtains bread without yeast and not sacrifice on taste.

Breads without yeast, or any other oxidizing chemical or substance, are characteristically flat, hard, and dry. Breads such as Jewish "matzah" bread or some types of sourdough are baked in such a fashion as to obtain crusty, flat exteriors. However, breads such as these differ exceedingly from common sliced bread found at the market or grocery store.

To obtain a fluffier, moist, raised bread without yeast similar to store-bought bread, it is necessary to bake bread using a substance that will add air to the dough and achieve a softer, taller loaf. As a substitute for yeast, there are several other readily available ingredients one can use to bake their own bread without yeast present. Such ingredients as beer, baking soda, or unsweetened carbonated soda beverages all produce a raising effect in homemade breads. (Note, however, that beer is not recommended for baking bread without yeast, as yeast bacteria are used in the production of all beers).

The following is a simple recipe of a bread without yeast. Rather, it incorporates an unsweetened soda as the leavening agent.

Ingredients
2 1/3 cups self-rising flour
4 tablespoons white sugar
1 (12 fl ounce) can or bottle of unsweetened carbonated beverage

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease one 9 x 5 inch pan.
Combine the sugar, flour and carbonated beverage. Mix well and place into the prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes.

The list starts and ends with the familiar for anyone that is local and will bring great memories of good tasting food.

Hainanese Chicken Rice Chicken rice is one of the popular dishes in Singapore. The rich flavour of the rice comes from the grains that have been pre-fried in chicken fat and then cooked in chicken broth. The chicken is steamed until it is just cooked with a little pink remaining on the flesh near the bones. It is usually accompanied with a chilli sauce made up of chillies, chicken broth, garlic and ginger. Diners can enjoy an accompanying soup or consommé with stock of chicken and some herbs added lightly to its mixture.

Satay Satay is small bite-sized pieces of chicken, mutton and beef steeped in a sweet piquant preserve. These chunky pieces of mouth watering meat are skewered on giant toothpicks and fanned over a large flame. Side dishes include cut cucumbers, rice dumplings, onions and a peanut sauce.

Roti Prata This dish is like a fried croissant or pancake, originating from South India. The pancake is fried on a hot, oily griddle until it's cooked, and marked with brown spots, then served with currygravy. Prata is a popular choice for breakfast and supper.

Chilli Crab unofficial "national dish" and a favourite at seafood restaurants!

It has a sauce that is drawn from the strengths of great chillies, the freshest eggs, tomatoes and other hers and ingredients. It can be eaten on its own, scooping great dollops of chilli or soaked in bread for a spicy serving.

Laksa Laksa is an exciting concoction of noodles made from flour in a curry like gravy made of spices, herbs, dried shrimp, coconut milk and chilli. It is served with slices of fishcakes, prawns
and cockles. What began as a spicy peanut based gravy evolved into today's version, combination of Chinese, Malay and mostly Peranakan influences.

Nasi Lemak is a breakfast concoction of the Peranakan and some say are the threshold of the Malays in . Coconut rice served with anchovies, fresh fried frish, special sambal and egg plus cucumber combo, it is a signature kampong dish that you cannot miss.

So there is a list of some of the best and greatest food that we can offer. Although this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are so many more you can eat and choose from. Just walk along the local streets and pop into anyone of the coffee shops you find - you will be sure to find a local savoury hit!

Recipes and Cuisine

Ireland is known for its lush green lands, which are of course excellent for the growing of crops and the grazing of livestock. Traditional Irish food is hearty, wholesome, fare made from local produce - recipes may be simple but they are both tasty and satisfying!

Potatoes are also a prominent feature of Irish cooking. They were introduced in the late 17th century, and have become the staple crop of Ireland. Oats and barley are also grown, and have been for many centuries. Popular meats include lamb and pork.

Of course, with the island of Ireland being surrounded by sea, fish and seafood is also popular. Ireland is particularly known for its langoustines (known as "Dublin Bay prawns") and oysters, the latter often eaten with Guinness at the many oyster festivals around the country each year. Popular types of fish include salmon and cod.

Some popular traditional  dishes include:

- Colcannon - Mashed potatoes with garlic, cabbage or kale (a type of cabbage closer to the plant's wild origins).

- Champ - Mashed potatoes with chopped spring onions, butter and milk.

- Irish stew (Irish: Irish Gaelic: Stobhach Gaelach) - A stew made from lamb or mutton, with potatoes, onions and parsley. Barley, carrots, parsnips or turnips may also be added in some variants of the recipes. Irish communities in other countries (such as the United States), have adapted to use locally available meats (for example, substituting beef for lamb), or by adding extra ingredients (such as Guinness or paprika) to create new flavors.

- Coddle - Boiled pork sausages with bacon, potatoes, onions and optionally barley. The ingredients are cooked in the stock that comes from the sausages and bacon. Salt, pepper, and parsley are added for flavor.

- Bacon and cabbage - Irish Americans often make a similar dish from corned beef and cabbage.
Ireland is also home to its own unique types of bread. These include:

- Soda bread - A bread made using baking soda instead of yeast. Whole wheat soda bread is known as "wheaten".

- Blaa - A very soft white bread roll, covered in layers of flour, that is unique to Waterford City.
- Irish potato bread (also known as "fadge", "potato cake", "potato farls", "slims" or "tatie bread") - Unleavened bread made from a combination of potatoes and wheat flour.

Having a Vintage Nyonya Wedding in Modern Times

The present day Nyonya Wedding, can be described as "trying our best" to relived some gaiety and splendor of the good old days. When my daughter Uvaraani (of mixed parentage) was preparing for her wedding, we had to consider many factors. Reason being she has the opportunity to unite many Indian and Chinese cultures and traditions for her big day. We went through the Indian and Nyonya Chinese ceremonial rites with our elders, and boy were we in for some surprises.

Consulting the Elders

It was a great experience talking to some older Nyonya aunts who still remembers the good old days. The smells that triggers the memory leads us to consider reviving this hundred year old Nyonya or Peranakan heritage. Mostly the discussion was aimed at what can and can't be done in this present age as Nyonya on the whole, the culture and people are a dying breed. Ceremonials rites for the bride is endless.

Words like Kor Char Ay Lang (olden days people) and Tong Kim Ay Gee Nia (kids nowadays) seems like we are moving from "one extreme to another".

Olden Days Brides

In the days of our grandparents, the young girls were protected and hardly knows the outside world. The only times they were allowed to go outside is on "Chap Goh Mei". (15th day and last of Chinese New Year is to throw oranges into the sea, in the hope to get good husband).

They are dressed in the prettiest and with an entourage of older brothers and chaperon of protective hawks of old aunts. You can imagine how excited they will be when there is a marriage proposal, young and excited and obedient to their parents instruction. There is no falling in love for fear of marrying into the wrong class or society. Nyonya families even imported brides from China or sent their daughters to China to find husbands.

Those days the Straits Settlement Nyonya girls of marriageable age were taught to sew and cook. Sewing and embroidering items for personal use. She has to practice till she gets it right to prepare for her wedding ceremonies. And believe you me, it is a long list. For her wedding, personal items like lacy handkerchiefs, wardrobe that include her wedding gown. Items for wedding bedroom sets like pillow cases, bed hangings and decorative panels used in the bridal chamber.

Skills to Acquire

The most important item she has to learn is beadwork, using "manek" (beads) and sequins, making shoes, sandals and slippers. All this is part of showcasing that the bride is well taught and well bred. The prospective bride prepared a range of slippers to be presented as part of her wedding dowry, to the groom and his family. Even Emelda Marcos would have lost out in her showing off her collection of beaded shoes. Then a special pair must be made to be worn on the third day of the wedding, that is the day she comes to her father house for the banquet prepared for the groom and his entourage.

Present Thoughts and possibilities

How would we ever get an opportunity to have a Nyonya wedding ceremony as the girls are now working girls. They hardly had time to sew their beaded shoes, embroidered bedcovers and pillow cases, let alone her own wedding costume. A young Nyonya's worth as a bride is judged by her skills in beading, embroidery and proper upbringing as a classy Nyonya lady.
How do I ask my daughter whether she is a virgin to do the "Chiau Tau" (wearing a traditional gown to pay homage to ancestors announcing the wedding). She would have thrown a fit if I asked her that. Such remark would be considered abusing her right while in the old days, the parents has every right to dominate their children.

Some rites and rituals of the Nyonya Wedding

It would take twelve days to get married with all the customs and traditions to follow. Grooming the bride for the wedding takes a few days. Nearing wedding days, all needlework, sewing and embroidery of personal items and whatever you need for the bridal chambers must be completed.
The challenge to grooming the bride coupled with wedding blues are at its peak. If you happened to get a bride who is excited about the whole wedding proposal, it seems a happy occasion. There are times you get an unwilling bride as she is forced to marry for the sake of broadening her family heirloom or kongsi (clans) business.

"Quotes from Queeny Chang - Memories of a Nonya, pg 69:

She took me to our father's room and from the closet, drew out a photograph of a young man in traditional Chinese clothes wearing a close fitting black hat. He had good features but his strange clothes did not appeal to me. Sister Song Jin unwrapped a red silk handkerchief containing a pair of gold bangles engraved with Chinese characters. Pointing to the photograph, she said:
Song Jin: This is the man you are going to marry and these bangles are the tokens of your betrothal. Our uncle arranged this marriage three years ago when you were only thirteen.
Queeny: Is it our father's wish that I marry this man?
Song Jin: Little sister, you know that once one's word is given, one can't take it back.

Queeny: But it isn't our father word.

Song Jin: Our father had to listen to his elder brother and beside, the family Lim had done a big favor for our uncle. We must therefore show gratitude."

The Match Maker

Before any rites or rituals can be followed, a Seng Keh Mg (Match maker, one with a gift of the gab) must be hired. She bosses all around to ensure all rites and rituals are followed, if not she will be able to tell you the consequences of not listening to her. With that, she advised what is to be done and you jolly well follow.

Things she would advised include fixing the dates for all ceremonies like Sang Jeek Sang Jeek is gifts presentation day or dowry to the bride. The Bridal Bed arrangement include chamber pot placement, ornaments and silk curtains, oil lamps or candles to keep lighted before the wedding night is over.
A tray of sweet goodies for the newly weds to eat and to get to know each other. Hair combing Ceremony, prayers to Jade Emperor, Chneoh Tau, (purification ritual for virgin), ancestors worship and eating Glutinous rice balls without chewing and Kooi Bin (Face Threading).

She is the master of ceremonies and her main role in Tea Ceremony is calling relatives from the older generation till the youngest. She is even there as the bride wakes up in the morning to carefully fold the pajamas.

Having listen to all the good advises from my Nyonya elders, we decided to pick what is necessary term as important and doable for present day working Nyonya wedding.

Present Day Wedding Plans and Realities

For the parents and relatives, my daughter chooses to have the tea ceremony conducted by Penang Nyonya Heritage Wedding Planner Micheal Cheah. Same time we choose a traditional hundred over years old heavy embroidered wedding gown for performing the tea ceremony.

Same time, not to disappoint the Indian relatives, we combined both Indian and Chinese Nyonya tradition into her wedding. The day ended as a lifetime experience for the newly weds, parents and relatives.

We were glad we could combined an age old heritage Nyonya wedding into unique modern day affair.
