Sorry about not making tonight's meeting – I'm recovering from a lovely case of bronchitis and don't want to pass it on to any of you. Fooducate's latest Issue is whether to change the way ingredients are listed on food packages. Currently they're advocating for listing ingredients not only in order of precedence, as is done today, but by percentages. This might be practicable on the example they show – a Thai coconut biscuit with eight ingredients, “Coconut milk 46.0%, Rice Flour 23.0%” etc. – but could prove a bit more challenging on, say, a Velveeta Cheesy Skillet with over forty ingredients, some of them nested.
From thekitchn.com, how and why to brine meat so you'll never have to deal with another dried-out bonelessskinlesschickenbreast. From ABC by way of Grist, Oktoberfest is becoming more vegan-friendly, with a vegan “chicken” fricassee, vegan “pork” medallions, and even vegan wine. (Did you know that many wines are filtered through a sturgeon's air-bladder? Neither did I. Did you want to? Nor did I.) And courtesy of Summer Tomato, “10 Simple Way To Eat Less Without Noticing”. (Use smaller plates, but taller glasses. Keep snacks out of the way, but healthy foods in your line of sight. Chew. And don't eat in front of the TV!)
Recipes! From Chow.com, twelve butternut squash recipes, a “basic Greek salad”, and may God help us all a Halloween punch with glowing severed hands in it. Simply Recipes has a scientific explanation of why apple pie is so good with Cheddar cheese, and sweet-potato Jack-o-lanterns. Sprouted Kitchen has smoothies – I don't do smoothies, but if you do, there they are. And with National Caramel Apple Day coming up on the 21st, Snack Girl has healthier caramel apples, her own pumpkin spiced latte, and the unfortunate results of the Cool Whip Experiment. (Q: What happens if you put a scoop of Cool Whip into a cup and leave it on the kitchen counter for five days? A: Absolutely nothing.) And Summer Tomato supplies an eight-veggie minestrone!
Tomorrow is, for absolutely no reason I have been able to determine, Four Prunes Day. The 19th is National Seafood Bisque Day: celebrate in moderation as I don't believe there exists such a thing as a low-PointsPlus seafood bisque. The day after is National Brandied Fruit Day, and if you haven't any it's a good time to start some for next year.
October 16th: World Food Day, National Oatmeal Day
October 17th: National Pasta Day
October 18th: National Chocolate Cupcake Day
October 19th: National Seafood Bisque Day
October 20th: National Brandied Fruit Day
October 21st: National Caramel Apple Day, National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day
October 22nd: National Nut Day; Ettore “Hector” Boiardi born this date in 1897. No one in America could figure out how to spell his name, so when he put it on cans of spaghetti he allowed it to be spelled “Boy-Ar-Dee”
October 23rd: National Boston Cream Pie Day, National Canning Day; Nicolas Appert, inventor of the canning process, born this date in 1749 or 1750 or possibly 1752 or perhaps even in November, no one is quite sure
