Food for Thought


If you are committed to staying hydrated, then you already know that drinking 8 cups of water a day helps you fight disease, increase your metabolism, and make you look younger. But did you know that you can also significantly increase your fluid intake with food? Vegetables, for example, range from 85 to 95 percent water by weight. Fruits and veggies are also rich in the healing antioxidants your body needs for cell repair and healthy skin, and they contain trace minerals that your body needs to make new cells. 

The vegetables with the most color (think bright oranges, yellows and reds) provide the most nutrients.

Making Cheese

I've been so excited to get started making cheese since the class at the SCA event on Jan 29th.  The only reason I haven't yet is I've had so much trouble finding cheesecloth!  Believe it or not, it's actually not so easy.  The stuff you see in all the stores is unfortunately not FOOD grade.  It's CRAFT grade.  I finally gave up and ordered some online.  Hopefully it will be here soon.  I have everything else all ready and waiting!
