the story of hungry?

2006-03-05T13:48:00.000Z

here's a story
of a society called hungry?
it came alive
one day in 2005
but seemed as soon
to fade and swoon
and now it seems
what used to be hungry?
has taken a hiatus
(perhaps to hungary)

will it return?
we only can wonder
as our famished tummies
quake and rumble

Recipe #1: Carrot Casserole

2005-03-29T00:18:00.000+01:00

Since cooked carrots are known to be better for you, here's something simple and tasty to start off with, a casserole recipe with onion, green pepper, and cracker crumbs.

INGREDIENTS:

3-4 whole medium carrots, cooked, mashed
125ml milk
1/4 large chopped onion
1/2 chopped green pepper
2 tbsps sugar
5 crackers (crushed into crumbs, divided) (i.e. from ritz crackers)
6 tbsps softened butter
salt and pepper if necessary

PREPARATION:

1. Mix together: carrots, onion, bell pepper, milk, sugar, 1/2 of the cracker crumbs, 6 tablespoons butter, and salt and pepper.
2. Pour mixture into a casserole dish.
3. Top with remaining cracker crumbs.
4. Bake in a oven at 350° for 30 minutes until brown.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Food for thought: Carrots

2005-03-29T00:14:00.000+01:00

Are carrots more nutritious in their raw state than when cooked? That's a very good question. Opinions vary. Clearly a raw carrot has more goodness in it when it is raw and therefore you would assume it is the healthiest way to eat it. But unless the carrot is juiced then consumed, the body cannot break down the goodness because of the cellular nature of the carrot.

So in reality, unlike most other vegetables (though not all), carrots are more nutritious when eaten cooked than eaten raw (except when juiced). Because raw carrots have tough cellular walls, the body is able to convert less than 25 per cent of their beta carotene into vitamin A. Cooking, however, partially dissolves cellulose-thickened cell walls, freeing up nutrients by breaking down the cell membranes. So long as the cooked carrots are served as part of a meal that provides some fat the body can absorb more than half of the carotene. Also, it usual for Carrots to be cut into pieces and eaten after boiling or steaming, but done in this way, half the proteins and soluble carbohydrates will be lost so it is more advisable to cook them whole and then cut up.
