Hi all,
Monica, you are truly well named. If you look up Saint Monica you will
see why!
I think your ideas have merit, and getting information into the hands
of folks who need it is an excellent way to support our members and
volunteers. As it happens, I've been in discussion with some folks in
an organization called The Enabling Support Foundation. We've been
mostly concentrating on Education and computers and such, but recently,
a couple of interesting people have joined. us. Leslie is an herbalist
and nutritionist, and wants to set up a wellness center online. I'm
not exactly sure what form this will take, but any info that she puts
up on her web site might be of use in this effort.
One resource which may be of use to some is The Public Market. These
are also making a come-back, and can be found in most cities or rural
farm towns. Here you can find fruit and veggies at a much reduced
price as well as baked goods and more, depending on the market.
Learning to cook real food isn't all that hard, and maybe we should
have some kind of session on this in the chat room? Oh, I don't mean
Cooking In The Dark but down-to-earth practical tips on how to cook a
chicken, for example, or how to know when pasta is done. Oh, yes, I
know there are a million ways to cook chicken, but I'm talking about
your basic baked chicken or stewed chicken. How to make stew is
another good one, or goolash or a simple stir-fry. These are basic,
easy skills that folks can pick up easily. Oh, yes, and biscuits, yes
the good, old fashioned kind made with flour and shortening and milk and soda.
Yes, Monica, let's do it! I'll validate, hmmm, I guess we're supposed
to call it proofing now, I'll proof anything along this line.
Ann P.
