Take the local food challenge - HOT CAKES

This article first appeared in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix on Nov 19, 2007.

It’s getting more and more complicated to invite friends for dinner. That’s because no dinner invitation can be made these days without asking the question: Are there any food restrictions I need to know about?

Awhile back, we invited two friends for dinner – he was vegetarian; she was lactose and gluten intolerant. So, that ruled out anything with meat, dairy or flour. That’s almost my entire repertoire. If I recall correctly, I served a lentil and vegetable stew with cold cuts and bread on the side, and for dessert, meringue with berries. Fortunately, the vegetarian wasn’t vegan or the eggs (for meringue) would have been verboten, too.

We have a good friend who is allergic to nuts. Another can’t eat zucchini and a couple must avoid seafood. These restrictions are easier to accommodate and, when it’s a matter of life and death, no means no.

When I’m asked that question, I assure my host that I can and will eat anything, blessed as I am to be free of allergies and intolerances. Although… now that you’re asking, I don’t like eggs over easy or mashed potatoes. I once had tripe accidentally in a restaurant in Poland and didn’t like it. And I’m not crazy about pickles. But that leaves a lot to work with.

Next time, I might just venture to mention that, while it’s not a matter of life and death, I do prefer local food. My husband and I eat almost 90% Saskatchewan-produced food at home, so if I could be said to have a “special” diet, that would be it. I suspect there are a whole lot of folks in Saskatoon serving local meals these days based on the popularity of the recent Good Food Fair, when dozens of people took a pledge to eat local food for two weeks. (Including Lori Coolican and Jason Warwick, two celebrity challengers from the Star Phoenix.)

The local food challenge was issued jointly by Oxfam, Beyond Factory Farming and the Saskatoon Food Coalition (of which I’m a member), in order to shed light on the issues surrounding the production and distribution of food. For instance, Saskatchewan produces less than 10% of our fresh vegetables (excluding potatoes) while Alberta and Manitoba produce 33% and 57% respectively. Saskatchewan is one of the world’s major producers of lentils, mustard and durum wheat for pasta, and yet those products are almost entirely processed somewhere else and shipped back to us. Where can we buy locally-made butter? Why are there no Saskatchewan apples in the grocery stores? Why is it easier to buy Alberta beef or New Zealand lamb than beef and lamb raised right here?

The transportation of food, particularly refrigerated food, is a major cause of greenhouse gas emissions: in the absence of Canadian data, food accounts for about 20% of goods transported around the United States and 30% in the European Union. What’s more, food from “away” is more likely to be picked unripe, stored a long time and treated with preservatives or other agents that give it the appearance of freshness.

At the Good Food Fair, Robert Fox of Oxfam Canada related how, in Nicaragua, butter from Denmark was less expensive than the butter produced right there. That’s because dairy farmers in Denmark are paid subsidies, which encourages over production, and the surplus is shipped in refrigerated cargo to Nicaragua. Is that insane, or what?

Personally, I would never impose my Saskatchewan diet on my friends; the important thing is not so much to eat locally every day, but to become informed consumers in the global marketplace.
For more on the local food challenge, go to SaskatchewanFoodChallenge.blogspot.com. You’ll find recipes like this one from Michelle Beveridge of the local Oxfam.

Michelle's Feather-Light Hot Cakes
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tbsp canola oil
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup frozen Sask. fruit such as raspberries, strawberries, saskatoons or apples.

Combine all ingredients except fruit and beat just until smooth. Stir in the fruit. Bake like pancakes on a hot greased griddle or frying pan. Serve with saskatoon berry syrup and more fruit. Yield: 6-8 hot cakes.

Another Emoboy with a Heart

Got this tru email. Another hot emoboy with a really nice emo hair. His name is Charles Brindle. Visit his myspace profile and be inspired.. He also cut his own hair and do the same for his friends.. talented..

I'm a fairly extroverted person who enjoys reading, hanging out, poetry, artwork, and computers. I spend a lot of time working on artwork and reading particularly. You'll find me in coffee shops most of the time, probably working on one of these things. I absolutely love coffee and without it I probably wouldn't get as much done as I do. Starbuck's frapicinos rule 2, along with BK Joes, and Sheri's coffee. Helps to curve my ADD anyway (at least that’s what I keep telling myself.)

Right now I'm running a small business and trying to make my way through college. Life for me is usually crazy but I've been living in a mad world so long I find it more enjoyable then a boring life. Better to live your life as an adventure then not live it at all. I also really like to help people out however I can. I personally think that the greatest way to spend your time is to be spending it helping others.

If you feel like you ever need someone to talk to, send me a message and I'll do my best to get back to you. The time I spend here is not to judge people, just here to help them out as best as I can.

I've got a lot of problems and I'm far from perfect. Actually I'd say I'm a pretty screwed up person and I'm trying to rebuild my life from the ashes of other people’s mistakes. But God is there to help me along the way, and I believe I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today without Him. If you don't believe in God or share this view that’s okay. I think people should have the choice to believe in what they want (shouldn't everybody have the right to that?)

Do you know about this hair trick?

Secret to reducing frizzy hair

Many professional stylists have a whole hat full of hair styling tricks that they sometimes share with their clients.

Of course they don't want to give away all of their secrets!

A great hair style trick that is really amazing is the concept of cool/cold. When you take a shower and you shampoo/condition, you can turn the water to cold during the last few minutes of your shower for amazing frizz control.

The cold water closes up the cuticle so that it can not absorb as much moisture anymore. Frizz happens when the hair absorbs and holds moisture.

Another great trick that is very similar is to switch your blow dryer to the cool setting (or press the cool blast button if you have one) after your hair is dry. This also does wonders for making your hair less frizzy.

Try it on your own hair and see! It's like magic.

My garden is no longer green

Today, I pulled the beets. It was the last of the garden produce to bring into the house, but the garden is not quite officially "closed" for the winter. This week, I'll plant a short row of lettuce seeds, which will be the first to come up in the spring. My goal this year was to eat something every day that I picked with my own hands. Tonight, it was a spinach salad made with the last late planting of spinach (see photo of spinach below). And those blueberries with yogurt for breakfast. And those frozen tomatoes with pasta we had for lunch. I hate to say goodbye to the garden for another year, but I think we'll make it to spring!

How green is your garden?

It may be November, but this is the scene in my garden in Saskatoon. It's easy to eat local when fresh salad greens are this close at hand. But I'm watching the forecast and I'll be out there picking spinach before the first hard frost!
