___ADHESIVES AND GLUES: STICK WITH THE RIGHT ONE
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/askbuild.htm

DEAR TIM: I recently visited a home center in search of some
glue for a project. Once in the correct aisle, I was
overwhelmed by the assortment of glues, adhesives, cements,
and epoxies. Is there a multi-purpose glue that will work for
virtually all projects or do I have to buy some of each to
successfully glue objects in my home? Are there some really
good waterproof glues available for bonding wood together?
Do they still use old horses to make glue? Erin P., Boise, ID

DEAR ERIN: I can attest to your dilemma. There are many
glues, adhesives, cements, and epoxies. Most, if not all of
these products, are excellent when used correctly.
Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, there is no one
"wonder"glue that will work for all of your jobs. Different jobs
and objects will require you to use different glues. However,
there is one newer glue that is not only strong but will
successfully bond, many, many things together. More on
that in just a moment.

Glues and adhesives can be simple or complex with respect to
makeup. Animal glues are still made today. These simple, yet
effective, glues are often made from proteins found on the
underside of animal hides. Bones, blood, and other animal
byproducts such as milk can even be used. The adhesive
experts seem to agree that the discovery of these glues was
quite by accident. Early man probably saw how difficult it was
to remove dried blood and skins from spears, knives, and
other objects.

Most modern glues and adhesives are synthetic. They create
a bond in one of two ways. Simple glues such as the white
school glue and yellow carpenter's glue bond mechanically to
objects. The glue itself actually flows into the pores of the
object. This can be a nightmare for wood workers as excess
glue can seal surface pores adjacent to a glued joint. The
sealed visible wood pores will not accept wood stain! Avoid
wiping excess glue from a joint. Let it dry and then sand it off.
To minimize this problem some glue manufacturers actually
add small wood fibers to their yellow glues. These wood fibers
readily accept the wood stains.

On a microscopic level, the mechanical bond can be very
effective. In fact, these inexpensive glues can achieve
strengths near 4,000 pounds per square (PSI) inch when
used on wood species with a high density. Hard maple is one
such wood. To achieve the best bond when using white or
yellow glues, the objects being glued need to be very uniform,
smooth, and dust free. If there are cracks or voids, the bond
will be poor.

Clamping is also vital. Once you have pressed together the
two objects being glued, they must be clamped tightly for a
period of time. Different glues and adhesives have different
clamp times. Failure to clamp the objects will result in a
weakened bond.

Other glues rely on specific adhesion bonding. These
adhesives react chemically with the object they stick to.
Examples of these adhesives are many epoxies. Epoxies are
not only very strong but they are also very selective. You often
need special formulations and types to bond certain objects.

The newer urethane glues are quite interesting. They are
actually activated by moisture. You can often use these glues
on lumber that has up to a 25 percent moisture content. These
glues actually foam and expand as they cure. This expansion
property helps to fill small voids between the objects being
glued. The newer polyurethane glues mechanically bond to
masonry, glass, wood, metal, and many plastics. Once dry the
urethane glues are highly water resistant. Some are
completely waterproof. These glues are probably the most
versatile ones you will find. Buy it in smaller bottles, as it can
actually set up within the bottle. As you use the glue, the bottle
fills with air. Moisture in the air can react with the remaining
glue and cause it to spoil.

Construction adhesives in a tube are formulated to bond
poorly fitting materials. These glues can easily bridge gaps.
However, these adhesives are generally not as strong as the
others. They only will achieve 600 PSI strengths. These
adhesives are for rough work where clamping is often difficult.
They are also very water resistant.

To achieve the best results when using glues, always read the
instructions on the label. Follow directions to the letter. It is
always preferable to test the glues first before using them. I
know this will take you an extra day or so, but it will be worth it!

___FRESH IDEAS FROM THE FREEZER
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmkitc.htm

Does the thought of dealing with frozen chicken at mealtime
give you cold chills? Waiting for it to thaw, trying to separate
the parts, all that extra time and hassle? It doesn't have to be
that way if you use individually quick frozen (IQF) chicken.

IQF chicken isn't a new product. It's been around for more
than 20 years. But for much of that time, it was available
only to businesses like restaurants or through wholesale
clubs. Today most supermarkets offer IQF chicken for
in-home use.

IQF chicken is very different from the fresh chicken you
purchase and freeze yourself. In standard slow freezing
(such as in a home freezer), large ice crystals form inside the
meat, breaking down the fibers and making it tough and dry
when cooked. IQF chicken is quick frozen using a special
technique that protects both the quality and texture of the meat.
IQF chicken is also coated with a thin ice glaze that helps
prevent freezer burn and gives it a longer storage life.

When you freeze fresh chicken at home, it loses moisture
and flavor. To avoid this problem, most types of IQF chicken
are deep marinated with a natural solution before freezing.
Deep marination enhances the natural chicken flavor and
helps preserve juiciness and tenderness during storage, as
well as during cooking.

Another problem with freezing chicken at home - especially
chicken parts - is that all the pieces stick together. You
have to either wrap the pieces separately before freezing
them (a messy, time-consuming process) or thaw and cook
the entire package of chicken at once. With IQF chicken,
each piece is individually frozen so there's no sticking
together. You can use only the number of pieces you need
and save the rest for another meal.

But perhaps the best feature of IQF chicken is that it
doesn't require thawing before cooking, so it's always
ready when you are. It can be used straight from the bag
in virtually any recipe. And whether it's baked, grilled or
fried, it turns out tender, juicy and great-tasting.

Here are a few recipes using IQF chicken:

__RECIPE: Zesty Chicken Breasts

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, frozen
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

lukewarm running water for 1 to 2 minutes to
remove the protective ice glaze. In a small saucepan,
combine vinegar, water, margarine, Worcestershire
sauce, garlic salt and pepper; bring to boiling. Place
breasts on rack in broiler pan. Brush with half of sauce;
broil about 6 inches from heat source for 8 minutes.
Turn over and baste with remaining sauce. Broil 8 to 9
minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear.
Serve with pasta and steamed mixed vegetables, if
desired. Serves 4.

Nutritional Information per Serving: 192 calories,
72 calories from fat, 8g total fat, 28g protein,
2g carbohydrate, 75mg cholesterol, 1294mg sodium

__RECIPE: Fiesta Chicken Soup

6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Tenderloins, frozen
2 cans (14 1/2 oz. each) low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (15 oz.) kidney beans, undrained
1 cup salsa
1 cup frozen whole-kernel corn
1/2 cup uncooked instant rice

Hold chicken pieces under lukewarm running water for 1-2
minutes to remove the protective ice glaze. Cut chicken into
1-inch pieces. In large saucepan, combine chicken,
chicken broth, kidney beans, salsa and corn. Bring to a
boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 to 10 minutes
or until chicken is done. Stir in rice, cover and remove
from heat. Let stand minutes. Top individual servings of
soup with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, toasted tortilla
strips and sliced avocado, if desired. Serve with fresh fruit
and cornbread, if desired. Serves 4.

Nutritional Information per Serving: 324 calories, 18

8 (10-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup seasoned croutons (optional)

Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
Add chicken; cook over medium-high heat for
12 to 15 minutes or until light brown and juices run clear.
Add water. Bring to a boil; add rice. Cover, remove from
heat; let stand for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
Stir in salad dressing. Fill each tortilla with lettuce,
chicken and rice mixture, tomatoes and croutons.
Fold in sides of tortilla and then roll up. Serve with black

__TEAMWORK
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmfres.htm

An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area.
Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse
named Buddy.

He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull!"
Buddy didn't move.

Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull!" Buddy didn't
respond.

Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Coco, pull!"
Nothing.

Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!"
And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.

The motorist was most appreciative and very curious.
He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong
name three times.

"Well... Buddy is blind and if he thought he was the only
one pulling, he wouldn't even try!"

___EASTER TRADITIONS MADE EASY
Simple Solutions for Your Easter Menu
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmkitc.htm

Festive new bonnets, sweet-scented lilies and the excited
bustle of family and friends gathered for a bountiful meal. All
are cherished traditions that mark an Easter celebration and
welcome
springtime.

Whether your gathering is large or small, preparing and
sharing an Easter dinner that will win raves is easy using the
following delicious recipes and suggestions. They make the
cooking (and cleanup) for this special holiday meal simple,
quick and stress-free. The result? A lively menu
featuring distinctive flavors from convenient pantry staples
that give new zest to traditional favorites.

Baking a traditional Easter ham to star as the main course
has never been easier. Choose a lean, boneless whole ham
of highest quality that's been naturally slow-cured and
packaged without added water or processing. Baked in an
oven bag, it's a snap to prepare without the worry of
overcooking; the oven bag keeps a boneless ham from
drying out by holding its natural juices.

For a main course everyone will enjoy, choose sweet fruit
flavors sparked with zesty Dijon mustard in "Ham with
Tangerine Apricot Sauce" or "Ham with Strawberry Dijon
Sauce." With versatile Dijon mustard on hand, you're
guaranteed a burst of tantalizing flavor. Either recipe
can be prepared in an oven bag, and both the ham and the
tangy-sweet mustard sauces are ready to serve at the same
time. What could be easier?

Oven bags can also be used to conveniently prepare
vegetable side dishes like "Holiday Asparagus" in the
microwave oven. Using oven bags saves room in your
conventional oven for the main entree and other dishes,
and insures even cooking of this recipe's crisp springtime
spears, red bell peppers and mushrooms.

Enhance these dishes with the sophisticated flavors of a
"Blue Cheese Walnut Salad." Crisp greens, toasted
walnuts and coarsely crumbled blue cheese tossed with a
creamy dressing made from either tangy Dijon mustard or
honey mustard are all combined in a refreshing salad that's
sure to become a holiday favorite.

From start to finish, this is one holiday menu that keeps
its promise to be simple, quick and stress-free -- as well as
delicious. And it just may inspire some new Easter traditions.

___PNEUMATIC NAILING TOOLS
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/askbuild.htm

DEAR TIM: I am on the fence deciding which remodeling
contractor to choose. The one contractor uses pneumatic nailers
for just about every task. The other company uses traditional hand
nailing for all tasks. Is there a difference between the two methods?
Are the air driven nails inferior? Is there an advantage to using
pneumatic nailers? How do you drive your nails?

DEAR A. R.: I drive my nails to the jobsite in my truck. Ha Ha!
Just kidding! To be honest, I have a wide assortment of pneumatic
nailers. Several have served me without a breakdown for more than
eight years. I still use my hammer as well for certain rough framing
tasks, however.

The use of pneumatic nailers has grown significantly in both the
new home construction and remodeling industries. The reasons are
simple. Pneumatic nailers increase productivity and offer superior
fastener withdrawal resistance when compared to certain hand
driven nails. An average home may use up to 70,000 nails. Nail guns
don't get tired like arms do.

Major tool manufacturers offer an extensive assortment of nail guns.
Yes, I said guns. Pneumatic nailers fire sharp objects at high
speeds. If used improperly, they can cause serious injury.

My collection of pneumatic nailers includes a framing tool that can
shoot a three and one-half inch nail into a piece of solid oak. I also
have a nail gun that can shoot a small one half inch brad for fine trim
or cabinet work. My favorite gun is one that fires two inch finish nails
into interior trim lumber.

Nails driven with pneumatic nailers are tough to remove. The nails
are coated with a resin that performs two primary functions. The
resin glues one nail to another much like a strip of common staples.
When the nail gun fires, friction is produced as the nail enters the
wood. The resulting heat melts the resin. The liquid resin acts as a
lubricant. Within seconds the resin becomes solid once again. The
nail is actually glued into the wood!

If you choose the remodeler who hammers everything by hand,
your interior trim may have an occasional beauty' mark where a
hammer kisses your wood trim. Most customers find these dents
objectionable. A nail set may also slip off the nail head and mar
the trim. Pneumatic nailers, when adjusted properly, will not
create blemishes. In fact, they drive and countersink the nail in
one rapid motion.

There are some slight disadvantages when using these fine
tools. For example, when nailing roof or flooring plywood it is
virtually impossible to tell if a nail misses a joist or roof truss. You
need to visually check the underside of the plywood to make sure
each nail is buried in wood. Also, the electrogalvanized coating
on exterior nails does not offer the same level of protection as a
twice dipped hot galvanized nail. If you must use a pneumatic
nailer for outside work, use stainless steel nails.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
__AN HERBAL RENAISSANCE
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/Farmdire.htm

Most Americans can't identify tarragon or separate fresh-cut
basil from thyme, but herbs are spreading fast across the
continent, turning up in salads and omelettes, simmering in
teas and potions, and even occupying a prominent place in
the medicine cabinet.

Twenty years ago a shopper would have been hard pressed
to find fresh dill or marjoram at the local supermarket; today,
nearly three-quarters of those same stores seasonally stock
fresh dill and marjoram along with fresh chives, ginger, garlic,
oregano, sage, sorrel, rosemary and other herbs.

An herbal renaissance is taking place in American kitchens
and gardens, bringing strong scents and fervent flavors back
to places where they've been missing for several generations.
Not since the American Revolution, more than two centuries
ago, has there been so much interest in and growth of herbs
on this continent.

Thomas Jefferson, like other 18th century Americans, grew
more than two dozen different herbs in his kitchen garden.
His crop not only spiced family meals, but helped cure
wounds, settle troubled tummies, freshen stale rooms and
moisturize chapped skin. Herbs were integral to daily life.

Herbs have, in fact, been cultivated by almost every human
culture since the dawn of civilization. Some herbs were
considered sacred and used only in special ceremonies;
others exhibited medicinal properties. Elaborate ceremonies
have accompanied the cultivation, harvest and use of many
herbs.

Ironically, the age of reason and science that Jefferson
helped usher into the Western world also tried to debunk
all herbalists and prove the use of herbs equivalent to
buying and drinking snake oil. The scientific method led
to microwave ovens and powerful synthetic drugs and lunar
landings, but it robbed America of much of its folk wisdom
and flavor.

Only recently has science affirmed many of the old folk
remedies, giving credit to garlic as a cold remedy, for
instance, or to savory as a salve for insect bites and to
chamomile as a sedative.

And in this land once dominated by meat-and-potatoes
cuisine, where "home-cooked" meals were often made
from canned soups, frozen vegetables and TV dinners,
restaurant chefs and home cooks alike are looking for
and demanding more fresh-cut herbs and locally grown
produce.

Increasing numbers of consumers are choosing natural
foods and beverages that contain herbs, and there is a
growing demand for herbal medicines like St. John's
Wort and Echinaccea.

For the wheat farmer trying to get by on $2.50 a bushel
or the potato grower troubled by over-production, there
could be a wake-up call here. While thousands of
growers worldwide are competing for a slice of the
soybean market, only a handful are struggling to meet
the rising demand for Echinaccea.

This is one instance where the small acreage farmer
or the grower cultivating leased ground has an
advantage, given an average lower overhead and smaller
debt service than the bigger grower. The smaller
operation is often in better shape to experiment with new
crops, explore new markets and try different varieties.

Like canola and ginseng, the most profitable crops of
the next decade are likely to come from plants we can't
identify and made into products we can't imagine. What
if goldenseal becomes an accepted cure for the common
cold? Or gingko really does enhance memory? What if
Emeril LaGasse starts a run on fennel?

If this trend continues, the produce markets of the next
century -- whatever their specific changes may be -- are
certainly going to be more diverse and flavorful.

___STOMACH MAGNETS PROTECT COWS
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/livestoc.htm

Cows grazing pastures where there's debris from recent
tornadoes or windstorms are at increased risk for a
condition known as "hardware disease." Putting a magnet
into the stomach of a cow can help protect her from
hardware disease, says Ralph Farnsworth, veterinarian with
the University of Minnesota Extension Service.

BEST BBQ SAUCE
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/bites.htm

Wild Joes' BBQ Sauce took top honors in the Barbecue
Sauce-Vinegar Base Category of the Fiery Food Challenge in
March.

The National Fiery Food Challenge was conducted at the
headquarters of Chile Pepper magazine in Fort Worth, Texas.
More than 50 culinary educators, chefs and food writers
judged hundreds of entrants in a blind tasting. Products were
placed in identical containers and judges saw only a random
number on the container. Ballots were then totalled by a
certified public accountant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
__NEW JUICE RULES PROPOSED
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/bites.htm

The Food and Drug Administration has proposed two
regulations designed to improve the safety of fresh and
processed fruit and vegetable juices.

The first proposed regulation would require processors of
packaged fruit and vegetable juices, both domestic and
foreign, to implement hazard control programs at their plants
to prevent microbiological, chemical and physical
contamination of their products.

The second proposed regulation would require warning
labels on all packaged juice products that have not been
pasteurized or otherwise treated to eliminate harmful microbes.

__GETTING INTO PARTYING
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmkitc.htm

Hosted a dinner party lately? If not, TV chef and cookbook
author Graham Kerr encourages you to take the following
ideas to heart in adding more home entertaining to your life.
These tips are from Kerr's new book, The Gathering Place.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/
ISBN=096576060X/outriderbooksA

>On your calendar, pencil in 10 Saturdays as "gatherings"
and then propose the dates to friends, adjusting them to suit
the group.
>A month before each party, choose a chapter from Kerr's
book or select a theme.
>The party host makes the main course, arranges the table
and provides beverages, while the guests decide which

__SPECIAL CELEBRATIONS
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmkitc.htm

Warmer days and special celebrations offer plenty of
opportunities for spending time with friends and family. Yet
special occasions don't necessarily have to mean elaborate
meals and more work. Some of the best, most memorable
parties are casual -- where the focus is on the people and
the moment. In these busy times, friends appreciate a
relaxed atmosphere where they can be themselves.

What's the key to making the most of sunny days and
special celebrations? Recipes you can make ahead of time,
such as these easy-to-prepare brunch recipes:

__RECIPE: Raspberry Double Cream Coffee Cake
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Cooling time: 15 minutes

Cake
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sour creams (Regular, Light or No Fat)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon almond extract

Filling
1/4 cup sugar
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
1/2 cup sliced almonds

mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Spread batter over bottom
and 2 inches up sides of greased and floured
9-inch springform pan.

In small mixer bowl combine 1/4 cup sugar, cream
cheese and egg. Beat at medium speed until
smooth (1 to 2 minutes).

___BLACKTOP SEALERS -- THE RIGHT STUFF
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/askbuild.htm

DEAR TIM: I'm a do-it-yourselfer and would like your opinion.
My blacktop driveway is 3 years old and has never been
sealed. It still appears black in color. My boy friend tells me
that I can wait another few years before sealing it. I have also
heard that gasoline and oil can hurt blacktop. Is this true? If
so, can you recommend a treatment to prevent this damage?
How often should I seal my driveway?

DEAR C. O.: Hurry! Get to the local building supply store as
fast as you can. You have already waited too long! Your
driveway should have been sealed at some point within its
first year depending upon your geographic location.

Blacktop or asphalt paving is a very interesting surfacing
material. The asphalt industry actually markets the material
as a flexible pavement. This claim arises from the fact that
the asphalt cement, the material that holds together the
small pieces of stone and sand in the blacktop, can remain
pliable for a long period of time. This quality helps the
asphalt or blacktop to resist cracks if installed properly.

However, asphalt which is exposed to air and sunlight will
begin to lose this flexibility. The asphalt actually begins to
oxidize. Ultraviolet light (UV) from the sun also helps to
break down the asphalt cement. This is where problems
begin to happen. If the asphalt oxidizes, it becomes brittle.
The bond between it and the sand and stone particles
(aggregate) begins to fail. The result of this process is
cracking and loosening of individuals pieces of aggregate.
If you live in a climate that experiences cold weather, this
process is accelerated by water which enters these
cracks and then freezes.

Blacktop sealers block air and sunlight from attacking the
asphalt cement. There are several different types of
sealers. The traditional sealers contain the same asphalt
that is used in the original blacktop. The asphalt in these
sealers is often mixed with water and a soapy compound
called an emulsifier. This sealer tends to have the shortest
lifespan and offers little or no protection from the UV rays
from the sun.

Another type of sealer contains refined coal tar. These
sealers offer excellent resistance to gasoline and oil.
Gasoline and motor oil can actually dissolve the asphalt
cement in blacktop. The coal tar sealers also contain small
clay particles and an emulsifier which enables you to apply
it easily. Some refined coal tar sealers are polymer modified.
These added chemicals often provide, extra UV protection,
richer color, and longer life.

The most expensive sealers are those that are entirely man
made. They usually contain high amounts of acrylic
polymers. These are the sealers you often see on tennis
courts. They are available in black for driveways. These
sealers offer the best overall protection and frequently can
last twice as long as a conventional sealer.

You have probably seen these sealers available with sand.
Sand is a beneficial ingredient. It helps to seal the pores in
the blacktop, improves foot and car traction, and helps the
sealer to last longer on your driveway.

One of the biggest mistakes I see homeowners make is
sealing their driveways too often. It is best to wait until
the previous coat of sealer has worn off before applying
a new coat of sealer. This will happen at different rates on
different driveways because of traffic volume and exposure
to weather and sunlight.

The test for wear is really quite simple. The aggregate used
in the blacktop is often some other color than black. Here in
the Midwest, the small stone chips are primarily limestone,
which is gray in color. When you see your blacktop
beginning to gray, as my daughter constantly tells me when
looking at my hair, it is time to reseal your driveway. By the
way, do not use blacktop sealer as a hair colorant, it can
burn your scalp.

__COW QUESTION
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/fresh.htm

COW QUESTION

A rancher was helping one of his cows give birth, when he
noticed his 6-year-old son standing wide-eyed at the fence,
taking in the event.

The rancher thought, "Great...he's 6 and I'm gonna have to
start explaining the birds and bees. No need to jump the gun -
I'll just let him ask, and I'll answer."

After everything was over, the rancher walked over to his son
and said, "Well son, do you have any questions?"

"Just one," said the still wide-eyed lad. "How fast was that
calf going when he hit that cow? ?

__HERBICIDE RESISTANT WEEDS
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/Growthsp.htm

Glean was an extremely effective herbicide on kochia and
Russian thistle in the 1980's, but after several years of
continuous use, it quit working on kochia.

Farmers in Montana have been using Far-Go to control wild
oats for more than 20 years, but the last few years it has
not worked quite as well.

Both of these are examples of the development of
herbicide-resistant weeds. Similar cases are widespread
across Montana, the MidwesternU.S. and Canada's prairie
provinces. Resistant weeds are those that are no longer
killed by herbicides that previously provided adequate
control.

___CAULK -- WHICH ONE FOR WHAT
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/askbuild.htm

DEAR TIM: I need some help with caulks. There are many
different types available. How are the silicone caulks different
from the acrylic latex caulks. Are they both paintable? Also, I
purchased a clear acrylic latex caulk, but it came out of the
tube white. Was the caulk in the tube out of date, or was it
defective? One last thing, is there a caulk available to fill a
driveway crack?

DEAR M. W.: Caulks have experienced a significant
transformation during the past 45 years. Linseed and oil
based caulks were used on a widespread basis up until the
1950's. During the 60's and 70's acrylic latex and silicone
caulks began to appear. Because caulks need to stick to
things, they are closely related, chemically speaking, to
adhesives. In fact, I'll bet that you have seen adhesive
caulks at your local stores.

Inasmuch as caulks are used to fill cracks between things
that frequently move, it is important for them to have a high
degree of flexibility. The older oil based caulks almost always
became brittle with age. Acrylic latex and silicone caulks are
formulated so that they will remain flexible for many years.

__GROWING WITH LIMITED SPACE AND TIME
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/Homegrow.htm

When garden space and the time to cultivate are at a premium,
these are the best plants to grow for both value and nutrition:

Tomatoes. Rich in potassium, tomatoes also contain vitamin
C and some fiber. Red tomatoes also contain the pigment
lycopene, a beneficial compound associated with a reduced
risk of cancer. Some folks believe lycopene is associated with
improved skin tone.
Beans. Whether eaten whole or shelled, beans are rich in
fiber as well as potassium, folate, carotene, iron and vitamins
A and C. Folate is a B vitamin and phytochemical, a
plant-produced compound that may be important in fighting
cancer.
Greens. Dark-colored, strongly flavored greens have more
nutritional value than pale, mild traditional salad greens like
head lettuce. Grow spinach, Swiss chard and romaine lettuce.
Spinach is high in vitamins A and C, folate, iron, magnesium,
sodium, lutein and folate.
Cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale,
mustard. Cabbage is high in vitamin C, B vitamins, fiber and
phytochemicals called isothiocyanates, compounds believed
to increase the action of enzymes that debilitate carcinogens.
Broccoli has vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene, folate, fiber and
calcium. The florets and new sprouts of broccoli are
especially good sources of a cancer-fighting compound
called sulforaphane.
Cauliflower is valuable for its vitamin C and cancer-fighting
compounds. It contains folate, potassium, phosphorus and
calcium. Kale is also high in potassium, calcium, iron,
vitamins A and C, and fiber. Mustard is rich in vitamins A and
C, calcium, iron, phosphorus and B vitamins.
Carrots. Carrots are packed with vitamin A. They are also
a good source of alpha- and beta-carotene, both of which
are believed related to a lowered risk of cancer. And, like
many root vegetables, carrots have plenty of fiber. They also
have calcium and phosphorus.
Sweet peppers. Peppers contain high amounts of vitamins
A and C, as well as folate and fiber. Red peppers have the red
pigments (carotenoids) that are believed important as
anti-cancer and antioxidant agents.
Berries. Strawberries and raspberries are high in fiber and
red pigments, vitamin C and minerals. Raspberries contain
lignans, a plant-based estrogen, which seems to protect
against breast and other cancers.
Garlic. Along with other plants in the onion family, garlic
has potassium, phosphorus, calcium and vitamin C. Raw
garlic also contains the compounds allicin and diallyl disulfide,
which may be beneficial to people with high blood pressure.
Herbs. Rosemary, marjoram and many other fresh herbs
contain beneficial compounds. Parsley contains
alpha-carotene, folate, vitamins A, C and E, calcium, iron and
potassium.

__OLD IRON DISEASE
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/Rural.htm

There's an affliction common to the rural side of this country
that attacks men more often than women, and the middle-aged
or elderly more often than the young.

It's called "old iron disease," but you won't find it mentioned in
any medical journals and no one that I've heard of is searching
for a vaccine. It's one of those diseases, like "spring fever,"
that science has given up hope of ever understanding or
preventing. The afflicted may suffer for years or even decades.

"Old iron disease" has nothing to do with blood chemistry or
minerals, but a whole lot to do with memory and mechanical
aptitude.

The first symptoms of the disease often appear at county fairs,
farm equipment auctions or one of those antique tractor
exhibitions. The victim will linger a little longer than normal over
an Allis Chalmers Model D, or make repeated visits to a
particular Farmall.

___PLANNING A VEGETARIAN DIET
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmkitc.htm

Planning a balanced vegetarian diet requires substituting foods
that provide needed nutrients for those foods that are avoided.

Health concerns can arise for vegetarians because of limited
food choices. Planning healthy meals becomes important for
receiving enough protein, iron, calcium and vitamin B-12.

To supplement protein and energy in a vegetarian diet, foods
such as tofu, low-fat dairy products, nuts, peas, bread,
potatoes and corn are recommended.

Foods with vitamin C, such as tomatoes, citrus fruits or juices,
and broccoli, can provide calcium.

To meet vitamin B-12 needs, select dairy products, eggs, and
some brands of nutritional yeast and soy milk.

Choose a variety of foods, including grains, vegetables, fruits,
legumes, nuts, seeds and eggs.

Choose whole or unrefined grain products instead of refined,
or use fortified or enriched cereal products.

Use low-fat or nonfat milk and dairy products.

Being a vegetarian often means more than just avoiding the
consumption of meat. There are several different kinds of
vegetarians, as this glossary demonstrates:

Lacto-ovo vegetarian: Avoids eating any meat, fish and meat
byproducts including gelatin and animal fat.

Lacto vegetarian: Eats only grains, nuts, seeds, vegetables,
fruit, dairy products and free-range eggs.

Ovo vegetarian: Eats eggs but not dairy products.

Vegan: Avoids dairy products, all meat and fish, eggs and
other animal products.

Fruitarian: Avoids dairy products, all meat and fish, eggs
and other animal products, and only eats plant foods that
can be harvested without killing the plant. Eats raw fruit,
grains and nuts primarily.

Macrobiotic: Seeks a dietary balance between foods seen
as spiritually positive or negative (yin and yang). The diet
progresses through 10 levels and becomes increasingly
restrictive as each level gradually eliminates animal
products, then fruits and vegetables, resulting in a brown
rice or whole grains diet.

__HERBS: HELPFUL OR HARMFUL?
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/goodweig.htm

by Karen Cox, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension

To take herbs or not to take herbs, that is the question. Herbs,
which are any plant used medicinally or for flavoring food, are
very popular these days. But are they safe?

Herbs are wonderful for cooking, especially if you want to
reduce the amount of salt in your diet. If you use herbs to treat
or prevent illnesses, you need to be aware of possible side
effects.

Many people consider herbs harmless because they come from
"natural" sources. Some, however, are potent poisons. Nutmeg
is harmless in small quantities, but deadly if consumed in large
doses.

___RADIANT FLOOR AND CEILING HEATING
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/askbuild.htm

DEAR TIM: I am giving serious thought to incorporating a new
hydronic radiant heating system into my new home. Is this
technology reliable or is it just a fad? Can you install these
systems in existing homes? How do you size the system?
What are the disadvantages if any? Alicia P., Bennington, VT

DEAR ALICIA: Next winter you are going to be as snug as a
bug in a rug. Hydronic radiant heating is not new by any
means. It is just a fancy word for any system that uses water
to deliver heat. Radiant heating systems have been used for
thousands of years. Anyone who has warmed themselves in
a cave or a room with a fire has felt the natural warmth of
radiant energy. Romans used a primitive radiant heating
system to warm public and private baths. Your parents most
likely dried their snow packed gloves on top of steam or hot
water radiators. Radiant heating is not a fad. It is reliable
and simply superb.

There are numerous advantages to using radiant heating.
It is a known fact that radiant heating systems produce
higher and more consistent comfort levels than a forced
air system. Hidden radiant systems that use piping inside
of floors, ceilings, and walls permit unlimited design
possibilities and furniture arrangements. Certain systems
allow you to combine domestic hot water needs for
bathing and household cleaning into your heating system.
There is no need to buy a separate hot water heater. You
can also easily create zones within your house.
Electronic controls allow you to send heat to only those
portions of the house that you occupy during the course
of the day and night.

IF YOU LIVE IN THE COUNTRY, WAVE
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/wave.htm

You know you're on a rural road when folks wave at you as
you drive by.

I'm not talking about waving at friends or family. Nor am I
referring to the kind of waving between colleagues that truck
drivers share. The waves I mean are the ones thrown out to
complete strangers encountered on the road or as they pass
by the home place.

Waving at strangers is endangered behavior these days.
The number of places where it's practiced appears to be
getting scarce.

A friend of mine in rural Washington waves at the drivers of
passing vehicles more often than anyone else I know. I've
been with him on cross-country drives and watched him cast
dozens of waves that were not returned.

"Why do you wave so often?" I asked him.

"Just hoping they'll respond," he replied. Waving is his
mission on the road. A friendly wave is a sign of civility.

Evergreen long-flowering perennials
Date: 98-05-27 01:30:45 EDT
From: Cajun Lo...@aol.com
Recently, I read there are some perenniials that are evergreen
AND long-blooming (spring to first frost) that will gwon in the
Ohio Valley, the part near Cincinnatti where the temperatures
rarely get to 0 degrees F. One family that supposedly includes
several species of these flowers is the daylilly, although I would
prefer something more than this type. Despite extensive
research on the Net, in magazines and catalogs from various
nurseries, and in books on perennials, I have not had any luck
in locating any of these plants. Could anyone help me locat
e a source for these flowers? I am handicapped and have
virtually no help with gardening but I would love to have a great
landscape that includes these plants. (Since I am in the middle
of converting from an old PC running AOL under Windows 3.1
to a new PC running AOL under Win 95, please e-mail me if
you possibly can.)

Kiwis and Vitamin C
Date: 98-05-22 23:42:03 EDT
From: Sjazzzz
In the Have You Tried? article on Kiwis, you write:
<< , Vitamin C enriched fruit >>
Correction on the above - kiwis are a Vitamin C-rich fruit,
not ENriched with vitamin C; which would make them a
"functional" food, as they say in the future food community.
The distinction is, however, important. They are naturally
rich in C; it is not added, as to say, some ersatz juices.
I love kiwis, even if they have become a culinary cliche.
In China kiwis are used as a weapon against high-cholesterol
and heart disease.
be well,

__SIMPLIFYING SUPPER
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmkitc.htm

Making mealtime menu decisions can be as easy as
one-two-three. First, think about who likes what and how many
will be served. Next, consider what's in season at the
market or take inspiration from some tasty leftovers in the
refrigerator. Then check your schedule. How much time do
you really have to cook today?

Today's market is full of products that maximize flavor and
good nutrition. Look for these items in our specialty foods
section:

Bagel Spread Mixes
Barbecue Sauce
Olive Oil
Shiitake Mushrooms

or visit one of our Sponsors,
the Kosher Grocer at http://www.koshergrocer.com
or Charlotte's Gardens at http://www.charlottesgardens.com/

Stop by the produce section for fresh herbs --
tarragon, chives, thyme, sage -- and some
flavor-enhancing dried tomatoes and dried apples.

Deep Dish Square Pan Pizza from

Husk Tomato (and response)
Date: 98-06-06 22:41:37 EDT
From: p.w...@bsc.net (Phil Wood)
I tried Husk Tomatos this year and it looks like we are going
to have a bumper crop. Well, let's say that we will have a
bunch of the cherry sized little rascals and (1) I don't really
know how to tell if they are ripe (2) and what to do with them
after they are ripe and (3) how do you store them until you
get enough to do anything with.

Probably won't try them again unless there is something that
you can do with them. They look good in the garden and
probably would look good in flower beds but they need a
real purpose to make next years garden.

RE: Husk tomato
Date: 98-06-06 23:31:31 EDT
From: man...@farmersmarketonline.com
"Husk tomatoes" are also known as tomatillos and yes, there's
a lot you can do with them. We grow ours to use in our
homemade salsa. Watch them develop this summer on our
new Garden Cam at
http://www.farmersmarketonline.com/GARDENCM.htm

We recently featured Tomatillos on our Have You Tried...?
page, http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/haveyout.htm
Here's an excerpt from that report:

TOMATILLOS

Despite their name, tomatillos are not small tomatoes.
Grown on a rambling vine, this small tart fruit ripens
yellow to purple, but is generally harvested and used
green.

Sometimes called Chinese lanterns, the fruit grows
inside a husk that turns light brown and paperlike as
the plant matures. Each tomatillo measures about 2
inches across.

Used primarily in Mexican salsas, tomatillas are best
when firm and smooth with no soft spots. They can be
refrigerated up to one month.

Chopped or puréed raw, tomatillos have a tart flavor
that mixes well with all kinds of herbs and spices. It
has a high pectin content and will naturally thicken
sauces to which they are added.

A license to sell? (and response)
Date: 98-06-04 13:57:35 EDT
From: mark...@bright.net (Mark A. Bennett)
I like the online market, it really had a lot of good
information. My family and I are
interested in selling produce to a local resturaunt , we
have already spoken to the chef and he has agreed to
buy specialty lettuces and salad tomatoes. The only
problem is we read in "Sell What You Sow"
(http://www.webcom.com/outbooks/farm.html)
we may need to have a license to sell to restauraunts,
can you help? Where do we go?
Mark Bennett

RE: a license to sell
DATE: 98-06-06 09:10:55 EDT
From: man...@farmersmarketonline.com
Regulation of food handling and sales is usually handled
by your state health department. Rules and permits vary
from state to state. Look for a local office in your
phone book's state government section under health and
welfare, or something similar. In most cases, a health
permit isn't necessary for sales of fresh produce; but
if you're preparing a specialty food item, a certified
kitchen and regular inspections are often required.

If you're doing this as a business, you'll need to inquire
with your city or county about the need for a business
license and a sales tax permit. These are not expensive,
in most cases, and not only establish yours as a serious
business, but allow you to purchase supplies wholesale.

From: sm...@aeroinc.net (Sherry Mann)

I was interested in knowing if you knew where I could buy
the supplies for a farmers market, apple bags, and ect..
My husband and I are starting a brand new one and I
thought your book would be a good source of information
for the beginner. Any information on wholesale supplies
would be appreciated, Thank you Sherry L Mann

RE: farmers market
DATE: 98-06-06 00:55:42 EDT

The book Sell What You Sow!
(http://www.webcom.com/outbooks/farm.html#SELL WHAT YOU
includes several pages (257-269) of farmers market
resources, including wholesale packaging and supplies.

One mailorder source of fruit and vegetable containers,
banners, bags, etc. that we like is Monte Package Co.
(P.O. Box 126, Riverside, MI 49084; 800/653-2807). Be
sure to tell them where you heard about them and where
they should be advertising their products!

And be sure to send us details about your farmers market.
We'll be putting up a continental directory of farmers markets
very soon and would like to include yours!

__GARDEN CAM
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/GARDENCM.htm

The office where we produce Farmer's Market Online
overlooks a garden where we grow a wide variety of fruit,
vegetables, flowers and herbs in a Zone 5 desert climate
(< 10" annual precip.) on the edge of The Great Rift where
huge waves of molten lava issued from the earth just 10,000
years ago. Our elevation at the north end of Shoshone,
Idaho, is right at 3,000 feet.

We've set up a GARDEN CAM page to record the
day-by-day progress of our garden at eight locations:

1. cucumber cold frame
2. salad greens bed
3. flower garden
4. herb garden
5. squash and melons
6. tomatoes
7. strawberry bed
8. garden overview to the north

Photos of these garden location will be updated several times
each week throughout the growing season, less often in the
winter.

Send links to your favorite garden photos and garden cams to
man...@farmersmarketonline.com and we'll include them
on the page.

Husk Tomato (and response)
Date: 98-06-06 22:41:37 EDT
From: p.w...@bsc.net (Phil Wood)
I tried Husk Tomatos this year and it looks like we are going
to have a bumper crop. Well, let's say that we will have a
bunch of the cherry sized little rascals and (1) I don't really
know how to tell if they are ripe (2) and what to do with them
after they are ripe and (3) how do you store them until you
get enough to do anything with.

Probably won't try them again unless there is something that
you can do with them. They look good in the garden and
probably would look good in flower beds but they need a real
purpose to make next years garden.

RE: Husk tomato
Date: 98-06-06 23:31:31 EDT
From: man...@farmersmarketonline.com
"Husk tomatoes" are also known as tomatillos and yes,
there's a lot you can do with them. We grow ours to use in
our homemade salsa. Watch them develop this summer on

our new Garden Cam aT
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/GARDENCM.htm

We recently featured Tomatillos on our Have You Tried...?

page. Here's an excerpt from that report:

TOMATILLOS

Despite their name, tomatillos are not small tomatoes.
Grown on a rambling vine, this small tart fruit ripens
yellow to purple, but is generally harvested and used
green.

Sometimes called Chinese lanterns, the fruit grows
inside a husk that turns light brown and paperlike as
the plant matures. Each tomatillo measures about 2
inches across.

Used primarily in Mexican salsas, tomatillas are best
when firm and smooth with no soft spots. They can be
refrigerated up to one month.

Chopped or puréed raw, tomatillos have a tart flavor
that mixes well with all kinds of herbs and spices. It
has a high pectin content and will naturally thicken
sauces to which they are added.

I can look back and laugh now that my son is 17 years old. It
was a quiet morning my son, Marc, at the age of two and
every mom knows the feeling: if I could just sleep a little longer.
My husband wasn't in bed , so I lingered in the silence.
Fifteen minutes went by and I decided that I'd better check it
out. At the kitchen door I saw Marc peeking around the
refrigerator door covered in flour and a general mess. In his
innocense he said "make breakfast". All over the floor he
had randomly taken the items from the frige and mixed in a bowl
but not much was in the bowl. On the carpeted floor were eggs,
egg shells, milk, flour, sugar, ketsup left over food and Marc
sitting in the middle of it all. "Where's your dad?" Like a little
sneak he points around the corner to his dad asleep on the
couch.

One day I asked my 12 year old daughter to please make a
chocolate cake for desert. Any cake, just pick out a recipe
and go.

That evening, after dinner, we had our chocolat cake dessert .
Very moist, great chewy texture.

I asked her if the recipe had called for coconut (and knew I
didn't have any). No, she said.

I asked what the chewy stuff was.

She looked at me and said, "Well, the recipe called for two
tablespoons of coffee....."

Well, basically it was a very good cake as long as you kept
thinking, coconut, coconut,...........

The kid has never lived this one down!

When I was young my mother used to make sauerkraut with
brownsugar that I loved. She was sick and wanted me to
make dinner. She told me to make sauerkraut and sausages.
I said I didn't know how to make her sauerkraut and she told
me it was easy just add one cup of salt to the canned
sauerkraut to make it sweet. My Dad ate it without comment,
but my brothers and sisters turned their nose up at it. Then
I tasted it and cried. My mother then told me she made a
mistake as sauerkraut always was packed in salt that was
why we added the brown sugar. It sure makes a difference.
I was about 8 at the time.

While doing a demo (in front of about a dozen people) on
cookies in the cooking store I work in, I had one of the most
embarrassing moments. I was mixing the cooking dough with
an electric hand mixer when I thought I heard a funny sound
coming from the motor. With the motor running, I leaned my
ear closer to hear the sound clearer. The beaters caught my
hair! By the time I pulled the plug my hair was so intertwined
with the beaters, we had to pour sesame oil all over to loosen
it up. Talk about a disaster! Not only embarrassing, but
painful too.

__RECIPE: Moussaka
from JOY OF COOMNG by Irma Rombauer, Marion Rombauer
Becker, and Ethan Becker, Scribner 1997.

8 to 10 servings

This light and spicy version of the classic Greek eggplant
casserole was created by Aglaia Kremezi, author of
Mediterranean Hot. Instead of butter and milk, Aglaia
uses olive oil and yogurt in her béchamel sauce. Salt, place
in a colander, and let drain at least 30 minutes:

2 large eggplants (about 1 1/2
pounds each), sliced lengthwise
into 1/4-inch slices

Meanwhile, heat in a deep, heavy skillet
over medium-high heat:

1 inch olive oil

Fry briefly in the oil, 2 to 3 minutes,
without letting them cook through:

1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut
into 1/4-inch slices

Remove to paper towels with a slotted
spoon to drain. Layer the potatoes in a
lightly oiled 9 x 13-inch baking dish at least
2 1/2 inches deep (or an equivalent round
or oval dish). Set aside.

In the same frying oil, cook over
medium-high heat:
3 large green bell peppers,
seeded, quartered lengthwise,
and cut into 1-inch pieces

Cook, stirring often, until they begin to
brown, about 10 minutes. Remove to
paper towels with a slotted spoon to drain.
Reserve the frying oil. Measure out 1/3
cup of the oil and place in a medium to
large skillet over medium heat. Add and
sauté, stirring often, until no longer red,
about 10 minutes:
1 pound ground lean lamb
Add:
1 1/2 cups chopped onion

Continue to sauté, stirring often, for
another 10 minutes or until the onions
become translucent. Add:
1/2 to 1 1/2 teaspoons ground
red pepper
1/3 cup red wine
1/2 cup currants
1 pound ripe tomatoes, finely
chopped, or 2 1/2 cups canned
chopped tomatoes with their juice

Lower the heat and simmer for about 15
minutes. Season with:
Salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
1 to 2 pinches freshly grated
nutmeg
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Ras el Hanout,
1062 (optional)

Remove from the heat and set aside. The
mixture should be quite spicy. Preheat the
broiler. Rinse and dry the eggplant slices
with paper towels and place them on a
baking sheet. Brush both sides with some
of the reserved oil, and broil them until
golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per
side. Cool and discard the remaining frying
oil. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange
the eggplant slices over the potatoes; it
doesn't matter if they overlap. Spoon the
lamb and tomato sauce over the eggplant
and layer with the fried peppers. Pour
over Yogurt and Olive Oil Bechamel

__RECIPE: Yogurt and Olive Oil Bechamel
Serves: About 3 cups

This is a contemporary version of classic béchamel from
gifted Greek cook Aglaia Kremezi.

Whisk together in a saucepan over
medium heat:
4 tablespoons olive oil

__CELEBRATING JUNETEENTH

June 19th is a popular African-American emancipation holiday
in many parts of the United States. This celebration requires
good food and lots of it. I've included a great recipe for the
grill that you may want to try, as well as a brief history about
this popular celebration, commonly known as Juneteenth. If
your holiday dinner is centered around a barbecue pit, why
not try something new? Pork is a no muss, no-fuss favorite
for the grill. If you combine good food with great conversation
--discreetly laced with historical facts--a successful Juneteenth
gathering is practically guaranteed. Enjoy the Jamaican Jerk
Pork Chops recipe and have a happy Juneteenth.

Junteenth: A brief History

President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which
freed the slaves on January 1,1863. It seems hard to believe
that it took two and-a-half years for the news to reach the slaves
in Texas. According to some historians, many slave owners in
Texas were aware of the Emancipation Proclamation but refused
to tell their slaves about it. President Lincoln finally had to send
Major General Gordon Granger and a squad of soldiers to free
the 200,000 African-Americans who were still in slavery in Texas.
On June 19, 1865, Granger stood on the balcony of Ashton Villa
in Galveston, Texas, and read a special order from President
Abraham Lincoln: "The people of Texas are informed that in
accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United
States all slaves are free..." The newly freed slaves reacted in
different ways to Granger's news. Some fell on their knees in
prayer. Others shouted and cried for joy.

Some of our ancestors celebrated the first anniversary of their
freedom in 1866 with a special church service. A sermon was
preached, the Star Spangled Banner and the Battle Hymn of the
Republic were sung and the Emancipation Proclamation was
read. Many ex-slaves in Austin, Houston and Mexia, raised
money to purchase park land to hold their Juneteenth
celebrations. Since so many African-American families were
separated during slavery, Juneteenth became a special day for
family reunions and a homecoming day for those who'd moved
away from their place of birth.

The tradition of celebrating the holiday declined during the
1940's, but Juneteenth and other emancipation celebrations
experienced a resurgence of popularity as student
demonstrators in 1960 attempted to raise cultural awareness
during the turbulent civil rights movement. Texans introduced
Juneteenth to their fellow activists during the Poor People's
March on Washington in 1968, drawing national attention to
the celebration. Interest in the holiday was further rekindled
as African American Texans moved around the United States
and introduced the tradition to others. Juneteenth celebrations
are currently held in New York, Washington, Milwaukee,
Minneapolis, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and
anywhere else you might find a homesick African-American
Texan in June.

__RECIPE: Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops
Yield: 6 servings

Jerk is the Caribbean method of marinating meats before
barbecuing, and is one of the most popular dishes in Jamaica.
The technique for making jerk was created by the Arawaks, the
first settlers of the Caribbean islands, and developed into a
mouth watering island tradition by the Maroons, who were
runaway Caribbean slaves. The combined methods of spicing
and smoking the meat preserved it, which was necessary in
the remote places where the Maroons took refuge. The
vegetables and spices used in jerk can easily be found in the
wild on the islands and in our own tamer grocery stores.

1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
4 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Scotch bonnet chile, seeded and minced
3 bay leaves
3 peppercorns
1-inch piece of cinnamon, crushed
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 pounds pork chops, about 1 inch thick

Combine the oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Stir in the
green onions, garlic, chile, bay leaves, peppercorns,
cinnamon stick, allspice, pepper and nutmeg.

Trim any excess fat from the pork chops. Place the pork
chops in a baking pan and pour the spice mixture over them,
coating each chop well. Place the pork chops in the
refrigerator to marinate overnight. Allow the chops to come
to room temperature before grilling. Heat the grill
until the coals are somewhat white with ash; the flame
should be low. Place the chops on the grill and cover with
the lid. Grill for 5 to 10 minutes per side, until the chops are
no longer pink in the center.

__WHOLE HOUSE FANS -- PROPER SIZING
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/askbuild.htm

QUESTION: I have a whole house fan located in the second
floor hall ceiling of a house I just purchased. The fan and
louvers look new and seem to operate smoothly, but the fan
doesn't seem to exhaust very much air. I have seen these
fans operate in other houses very effectively. What could be
the problem?

ANSWER: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you may
have several problems. Fortunately, they are quite simple to
diagnose. The effectiveness of a whole house fan depends
upon several key setup features. Everything must be just
right, or the fan will not operate properly.

Whole house fans are work horses. They are designed to
move great quantities of air. That is why they are able to
provide comfort during periods of hot weather. The principal
by which they operate is extremely simple. During the
daytime, the air inside of your house gets hot and stale.
Generally speaking, after sunset the air temperature outside
of your house is lower than the air temperature inside. A
whole house fan pushes the hot air out of your house and
replaces it with the cooler, outside air.

Air movement creates a cooling effect by increasing the rate
of evaporation from your skin. The faster that perspiration
evaporates, the cooler you will feel. If you can completely
replace the air inside of your house every two minutes, you
should experience this cooling effect.

__BEST SELLERS
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/bookstal.htm

Would you wait in line to buy some apples? Would you queue
up for a chance at fresh-picked corn?

When was the last time you were tickled with the tomatoes
you purchased, or bragged about broccoli? Can you
remember when you had fun buying groceries? Have you ever
whistled to yourself as you left the market?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, chances are
you've been shopping at a farmers market.

Malls are fine places to shop for bargains and you can't beat
supermarkets for variety, but when it comes to customer
satisfaction farmers marketsare easy winners. Where else
can you buy produce or baked goods directly from the hands
that picked the fruit or kneaded the dough? Where else do
the clerks not only remember you, but set aside items they
know are your favorites?

In his book, "Dynamic Farmers' Marketing," market gardener
and farm radio broadcaster Jeff Ishee encourages growers
to consider the farmers market as a profitable outlet for their
crops.

Produce vendors typically gross sales of $200 to $1,000 a
day at farmers' markets and the demand for their product is
growing.

"All of the trends and indicators reveal an ever-increasing
demand for fresh and healthy food," Ishee reports. "More
and more, consumers want food that was harvested
yesterday by a local farmer, not three weeks ago and
trucked along 1500 miles of Interstate highway."

Between 1994 and 1996, the number of farmers' markets in
the U.S. grew from about 1,700 to 2,400, according to the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the amount of fruit and
vegetables sold through direct marketing was estimated to
have exceeded $1.1 billion.

Ishee's book explains how farmers' markets are organized
and operated, identifies the most popular fruit and veggies
(1. potatoes, 2. tomatoes, 3. lettuce, 4. corn, etc.), and
introduces a number of value added and specialty food
items that are proven profit-makers.

To be effective as a farmers' market vendor, however, is
not just a matter of producing a good crop and showing up
at the market. It requires some basic people skills, including
eye contact and a friendly appearance, and an attractive
display with clearly marked prices.

"Even with a flawless farm product at the perfect market,
and with a flawless display on a perfect spring day, it's the
'one-on-one' contact that produces the actual cash in hand,"
Ishee points out.

"People centered selling is the most valuable tool for any
business, including farmers' marketers."

It is not just the tomato or the peach that attracts folks to the
open-air market, as fresh and wholesome as those items
may be, but the carnival-like atmosphere of the booths and
the direct contact with producers and other shoppers. And
as for growers, the weekly "market day" offers not only a
place to sell crops, but also a chance to meet and talk with
people, tell stories and make new friends.

At the farmers market it's okay to dicker and ask questions.
Joking and storytelling and gloating are usually tolerated.
And whistling to yourself is to be expected.

My worst culinary disaster involved a birthday cake I baked
for my husband. Actually, he was just my boyfriend of a few
months at that time and I was trying very hard to impress him.
Baking has never been my strong point, but I attempted to
bake him a birthday cake anyway. The first thing that
happened was that I couldn't get the cake out of the pan and
it broke into several pieces. I had to hold it together with
toothpicks and frosting! As if that weren't bad enough, ants
invaded it. But apparently it was so bad that they all crawled
to the top of the candles. That's one cake I will never live
down!

__SEASONING A CAST IRON SKILLET
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmkitc.htm

SEASONING A CAST IRON SKILLET

Cast iron skillets ought to be re-seasoned at least once a year.

To begin, wash the skillet, making sure to rinse and dry. Melt bacon
grease and run it all over skillet, inside and out.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place skillet in the oven upside
down with a cookie sheet on rack below to catch drippings.
Bake for one hour, then turn oven off and let the pan remain
inside until oven cools.

bristle brush to clean. Do not store food in skillet.

After washing skillet, warm in over or heat on a burner to
completely dry up any moisture.

Here's a sampler of the Spills we heard about this week:

hec...@servtech.com
(Sun, 21 Jun 1998 22:55:21 -0500)
a cooking, rather canning disaster........the Summer of '96 I
was canning salsa. My dear mother in law was sitting at the
kitchen table, and I was proceeding on with the recipe to
add your vinegar. This is the time of year when I usually
keep a gallon of white vinegar under the kitchen sink......
next to the bleach. Well, I think you can figure out what
happened, I grabbed the bleach and poured a cup and
quickly poured into the other ingredients on the stovetop,
when, after putting the cap on, I noticed it was the bleach I
had poured into the salsa rather than the vinegar. And my
mother in law watching all of this. Needless to say, that
batch went out the back door!

Worst Cooking Experience
My worst experience was last Saturday. I decided to
barbecue some bang up Cajun Ribs. The grill was
a-cooking and the ribs a-spitting. The doorbell rang and I
went to let or guests in. Apparently the wind shifted and
the flames hit the side of the house. We put out the fire
with the help of our first time guests: The new Keesler
AFB Fire Chief!

Rashi...@aol.com
(Sun, 21 Jun 1998 00:08:06 EDT)
One night I had decided to make some beef stew , and
thought how much easier it would be if I just browned
the meat in the stockpot instead of dirtying another pan.
So I poured in the oil and began heating it up , when a
minute later flames shot out of the pan !! Quickly , I filled
a cup full of water , but was too scared to throw it on the
fire , so I calmly asked my husband to come here. When
he walked in the kitchen and saw the fire , he grabbed the
water out of my hand and dumped it into the pot , causing
the flames to shoot higher. Then eventually it died down. I
looked sheepishly at my husband , expecting him to get
angry , but all he did was start laughing , and walked off.
I was utterly embarrassed , but I learned not to heat oil in
a stockpot again !

__GOAT CHEESE MONTH
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmkitc.htm

Bongrain Cheese U.S.A. (BC-USA), the number one producer
of goat cheese in the U.S., and the American Cheese Society
have declared August "National Goat Cheese Month".
Goat cheese is the only speciality cheese to have an official
month dedicated to promoting all the healthy and favorable
benefits of the product.

Laura Jacobs-Welch, administrator for the American Cheese
Society, says that officially touting goat cheese in August
should help get more consumers to try this wonderful product.
"There is a segment of the American population that
appreciates the fine qualities and distinctive taste of goat
cheese, "she says, "but there are many more who need an
awareness boost. That is why BC-USA has asked goat
cheese makers all around the country to band together to
promote National Goat Cheese Month."

Goat cheese has been on the fast track of growth, posting
double digit gains in sales and volume since 1991.

RE: Drying, Roasting Sunflower Seeds

Let the sunflower seeds dry on the stalk, covering and
containing them with cheesecloth or pantyhose to keep the
birds away, and keep them from falling to the ground. When
dry, rub the seed heads until the seeds have fallen. Soak
them overnight in a solution of salt water at about the rate of
1 cup salt to 1 gallon of water.

Spread on a cookie sheet and dry in a very slow oven
(200), or in a dehydrator until they are completely dry and
very, very faintly browned. You can check them by tasting
occasionally. Sunflower seeds are my favorite snack
anytime!

__KITCHEN CABINET BUYING MADE EASY
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/askbuild.htm

DEAR TIM: My husband and I just got back from looking for
new kitchen cabinets. We are so confused! We know what
stock cabinets are, however, there doesn't seem to be a big
difference between semi-custom and custom cabinets. What
is the difference? Can you offer any suggestions regarding
current trends? Also, is there a standard of quality that
manufacturers must meet?

DEAR J.T.: Your confusion is very understandable. Many of
my customers have returned from a day of cabinet shopping
dazed and confused as well! A large part of the problem lies
in the huge variety of styles, types of cabinet construction
(frame vs. frameless), finishes, and accessory trim pieces.
Do not underestimate the time it will take you to view all of the
options that are available to you. Often it can take two or
three days to visit different cabinet shops.

Semi-custom kitchen cabinets are factory-produced on
assembly lines. Manufactures of these cabinets often allow
you to select specific door styles, wood species, and stain &
finish types. These cabinets usually offer a wide variety of
interior options such as cutlery trays, drawer dividers, towel
racks, cookie sheet holders, trash can holders, etc. Often
these cabinets are built using stock cabinet sizes. Separate
cabinets are butted against one another in a typical
installation. Some manufacturers offer custom size
possibilities.

Custom kitchen cabinets are made solely for your kitchen.
They result from extremely specific measurements and
detailed design criteria. They can be very personalized,
down to exact drawer sizes for specific items. Often these
cabinets are made by local fabricators who can produce
furniture grade quality.

__GROWING CRAPE MYRTLE
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/Homegrow.htm

There are several hundred varieties of crape myrtles, many
dating back to the 1800s. Two plants and seeds from the
genus Lagestroemia arrived by ship in Philadelphia in 1799
destined for Mount Vernon, according to records at George
Washington's home.

Crape myrtle spread southward to warmer climates primarily
and its cheerful red, pink, white, purple, or lavender summer
blooms should be familiar to residents all across the Sun Belt
(USDA Hardiness Zones 7-10).

Although long-standing, most varieties of crape myrtle now
available originated in the second half of this century. In the
1960s, dwarf crape myrtles (3-4 feet) began to be
introduced and by the early 1980s miniature weeping crape
myrtles became available with mature heights of two feet.

__KITCHEN SPILLS
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/spills.htm

Here's a sampler of the Spills we heard about this week:

amy...@execpc.com
(Tue, 30 Jun 1998 17:38:03 -0500)
This is about my daughter Veera, when she was about
thirteen. Naturally she knew everything then! Well, she
decided she was going to bake cookies one day. She knew
how to, after all, she had the recipe. She made the batter
and she baked the cookies! Boy, they looked good with tiny
holes on the surface, kind of like pancakes!

It was time to eat, but a touch to her tongue and she knew
it was horrible! She cried out, " What's wrong, I followed
the recipe exactly as it says, one cup flour and 1/2 cup
baking soda!"

Veera is 25 today and studying for her Ph.D.. To this date,
she has not mastered the art of cooking! She can not cook
without full and complete recipe and instructions! My very
sweet and very smart girl can burn jello!

jjc...@azstarnet.com
(Sun, 28 Jun 1998 07:27:13 -0700)
My worst kitchen disaster occurred when I asked my
husband to help. I was making chicken-fried steak and
asked him to dust the steaks in flour for me. I then
prepared them as usual. They looked somewhat different
than usual but I assumed he didn't use quite as much flour
as I would have.

Our guests began eating and no one said a word. When I
took a bite, I discovered my husband had mistakenly
grabbed the powdered sugar canister instead of flour.
Dinner was ruined! We ended up taking our guests out for
dinner. I don't ask my husband to help anymore.

tammie...@home.com
( Tue, 23 Jun 1998 20:08:25 -0500)
One culinary disaster would be bad enough, but I had a
whole afternoon of cooking blunders.

Money was tight, but I wanted to do my share for the
church supper and prove that this single could cook as
well as the other ladies. I peeled a basket of apples I
had on hand and made a crumb topping. In one of
my best dishes, I made a small cobbler for my
roommate who wasn't attending the supper and placed
both cobblers in to bake.

I put 3 packages of chicken rice on to boil and washed
a large serving bowl. The timer went off for the oven,
and I turned on the broiler to brown the desserts to
perfection. I mixed my rice, placed it in my bowl, and
turned back to the oven just in time to see my large
cobbler, not golden brown but charcoal black.

After I salvaged the smaller cobbler from the edge of
the oven, I wentback to taste my rice only to discover
that I had washed but not rinsed my serving dish. I now
had a nice big bowl of hot chicken soap.

After my roommate ate her dessert, it became obvious
that my dish was cracked and burned beyond use, and
i still hurry to buy an expensive store bought cake. So
much for my dosmeticity.

Winner receives an autographed Joy of Cooking.

The deadline for entries in our Kitchen Spills contest has
expired. Look here next week for an announcement of the
winning Spill!

Coming July 15th -- our Greater Grilling Contest.

__BEEF PATTIE RECALL
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/bites.htm

Costco Wholesale Corp., an Issiquah, Wash., meat processing
firm, is voluntarily recalling about 172,000 pounds of frozen
ground beef patties sold at Costco wholesale stores that may be
contaminated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteria,
according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety
and Inspection Service.

All 6-pound packages of the following two products are being
recalled:

"Kirkland Signature GROUND SIRLOIN and Loin of Beef
Patties," Item # 18508 (18 individual 1/3-pound frozen patties)
"Kirkland Signature GROUND BEEF PATTIES," Item
# 18498 (24 individual 1/4-pound frozen patties)

__CELEBRATE JULY FOURTH WITH SALMON
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmkitc.htm

Strike up the 4th of July band and barbecue, it's time to enjoy
the once a year celebration featuring California King Salmon.

May through September marks the eagerly awaited arrival of
the fresh California King Salmon season. Considered the
premier salmon species by professional chefs and consumers,
fresh California Kings are known for their delicious flavor,
delectable texture and bright appetizing color. Unlike
farm-raised salmon, California Kings live in the Pacific Ocean
where chilly waters produce fish with lean firm texture and
superior rich flavor. California fisherman harvest the salmon
individually by hook-and-line method, to ensure a premium
quality catch every time.

California Kings are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids,
which have been shown in clinical studies to significantly
reduce the risk of cardiac arrest. California Kings are also
brimming with protein. In fact, a 3-ounce portion yields an
incredible 17 grams of protein for just 153 calories.

Here's a barbecue idea for California King Salmon:

Fresh California King salmon steaks are "mopped" with a
spicy sauce of balsamic vinegar, chili sauce, brown sugar
and seasonings then quickly grilled over hot coals. Simple
accompaniments such as corn on the cob, savory pasta
salad and cool watermelon slices complete the delicious
festive holiday spread.

OPEN MARKET
http://www.farmersmarketonline.com/openmark.htm

fourth edition
Date: 98-07-07 12:12:12 EDT
From: man...@farmersmarketonline.com
This week marks the beginning of the fourth year for Farmer's
Market Online, making this one of the longest-lived electronic
publications in an increasingly crowded field.

For those of you who were not aware of the publication when
it started (and that includes most of you!), we are reprinting the
mission statement that launched this enterprise as an email
newsletter on June 19, 1995. Its message is important because
it distinguishes this marketplace from the dozens of other
"farmers markets" that have come online since then.

"Born out of an appreciation for rural lifestyles, a love for
fresh produce and fine foods, and a desire to strengthen
and preserve agriculture-based economies, this newsletter
is a product of Outrider News Service, an independent
business based in Shoshone, Idaho.

"Our bias in these pages is in favor of the small-scale,
sustainable farming operation, full-time or part-time,
hobby or professional. It is our belief that access to the
Internet will make small farms more viable by opening up
new market opportunities on a global scale.

"Farmer's Market Online (tm) has been designed to
provide an inexpensive platform upon which farmers and
consumers from throughout the world can meet and
negotiate farm-direct sales, trades and barters. Each
weekly issue reports on farm products, identifies food
sources, and posts consumers' shopping lists.

"Set up much like an open-air market, this "virtual"
farmer's market has individual "Booths" where sources
for fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs, meats, flowers,
seeds, craft items, pets and livestock, and other items
are displayed for sale, trade or barter.

"There's also a "Bulletin Board" with news about farming
and marketing farm products, profiles of farmers and
artisans, and a "Shopping Lists" posting space where
shoppers can identify products they are trying to find.

"We hope that readers (who do not have to be subscribers)
will find FARMER'S MARKET ONLINE (tm) a valuable
resource for locating farm-direct sources of produce,
meats, crafts, animals and specialty products. Those with
computers and modems will be able to contact producers
by e-mail or their Web addresses for more information or
place an order for a product online. Those who don't have
computers, or who prefer more traditional avenues of trade,
can phone, fax or write to the producer to arrange a
purchase, trade or barter."

Although our format has changed considerably the past three
years, our emphasis on farm-direct marketing and bringing
producers and consumers together remains steadfast. We
believe, perhaps more strongly than before, that there is a
future for small-scale agriculture in the new global economy
that is developing and that the Internet will play an important
role. The role of Farmer's Market Online is to facilitate this
transition and join consumers and producers in a closer
union.

__IN THE HAILSTREAK
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/Rural.htm

Thunderstorms are as much a part of summer as snow is to
winter. Across most of North America, a spark of lightning on
the horizon and a low rumble of thunder are common in the
afternoon from early June through mid-September.

It is not unusual for thunderstorms to produce violent gusts of
wind, heavy downpours of rain and occasionally severe
temperature changes. Even microbursts and tornadoes,
though dreaded, are an accepted part of the weather mix
each summer.

But hail is almost always a surprise.

Perhaps because they are so rare, occurring less than once
a decade in most places, severe hailstorms -- the kind that
produce hail the size of golf balls or larger -- are almost
always unexpected, unpredicted and devastating.

The potential for hail exists in most of those high-rise clouds
that look like smoke rising from the top of a volcano. Rain in
the upper reaches of these clouds sometimes gets caught in
an updraft and rises instead of falls. As it goes up it freezes,
forming little pellets of ice.

When little pellets of ice fall to earth, they are called graupel
or snow pellets. Not until they reach 5 millimeters, or about
the width of a dime, are they officially classified as "hail."

To get that big, the ice pellets in a storm cloud must fall and
then be lifted by an updraft several times. The stronger the
updraft, the larger the hail can grow. It takes an updraft of
more than 55 miles per hour to create hail the size of a golf
ball, and an updraft of 90 miles per hour or more to
generate hail the size of a baseball.

Hail that big can be deadly. A 1985 hailstorm in Cheyenne,
Wyoming, killed a dozen residents with baseball-size hail
and left another 70 injured. A year later, at least 100 people
died during a hailstorm in China's Sichuan province.

Whatever its size, when hail comes down from the heavens
it usually falls as a "hailstreak," blanketing an area a
half-mile wide and up to five miles long. Step a couple feet
outside this streak in any direction and there may be no
hail at all.

Where I live, at the northern edge of the Great Basin in
Idaho, there have been several showers of ice pellets but
only two real hailstorms in the 1990s. The first leveled our
garden but left the rows of corn and carefully staked
tomatoes of our neighbor across the street unscathed.
The second hailstreak, just a few weeks ago, was less
discriminating. It arrived on a dark, swirling wall cloud
that dipped down from the thundercloud above and
turned to sheets of iceballs as it touched the ground.

In most farming districts, hail is the most feared of all
weather phenomena. Even hail of small diameters with
strong winds are sufficient to damage crops. Small
hail with strong winds can pierce crops such as
lettuce and cabbage. Larger hail can damage crops
even with lighter winds.

The storm that passed this way made a terrible mess
of our strawberry beds, stripped leaves off trees,
totalled our apple crop, topped onions, minced
mesclun, shattered the glass on one cold frame and
pierced the tender cucumber plants inside. Seedlings
that weren't shredded by the hail were frostbitten by
the three-inch thick layer of ice that took more than
an hour to melt. Our home and animals came through
unscathed, but the roof and hood of our car collected
about 40 quarter-size dents.

Surveying the damage and bemoaning my losses,
one thought kept recurring in my mind: I forgot
about hail.

(See http://www.farmersmarketonline.com/GARDENCM.htm
for photos of hail damage in the garden.)

___MARKET POLL
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/poll.htm

Last week's poll statement:

"Which is the better way to grill? Gas or Charcoal?"

7 responses
5 said Gas
2 said Charcoal

One comment received.
"I suggest not using either one. We use hickory. Gas is a precious
resource and Charcoal is carcenagenic (sic)."

Another comment reeceived:
"I used to think that charcoal was the only way to grill until I tried
gas. It is identical in flavor, but a lot less expensive to use gas.
I must admit--I'm not sure which is actually worse for the environment,
but in this case I choose gas because of the expense and time
consumption over charcoal."

This week's poll question:
"Are you tending a vegetable garden this summer?"

To participate, send an email post with the word "YES"
or "NO" as the Subject to
po...@farmersmarketonline.com

To make a more detailed comment, write "OPEN MARKET" as
your Subject and put your comment in the Body of the email
message.

Results of the poll and related comments will be published
next week.

__GARAGE DOORS -- LOTS OF CHOICES
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/askbuild.htm

DEAR TIM: It is time for a new garage door. Doors I have
owned In the past have been noisy, drafty, leaked water
during rainstorms and looked rather plain. I'd like for my
natural light to enter through the door, but am worried about
security. Also, how secure are the radio controlled garage
door openers? Is garage door installation and service a DIY
project? Paul, Tucson, AZ

DEAR PAUL: I've got great news! They don't make garage
doors like they used to. Well, they do and they don't.
Virtually every part of garage doors has been improved in
one way or another. Advancements in technology allow you
to install insulated, quiet, secure doors that are very
handsome and for the most part maintenance free.

Garage doors are undergoing their third period of
metamorphosis. Wood used to be the material of choice in
the first generation of doors. Approximately 20 years ago
insulated, steel garage doors appeared. Fiberglass and
other composites are now bringing about further change
and advancements. The use of a fiberglass outer skin in
garage doors allows you to duplicate the rich look of
natural wood on a surface that otherwise would appear
very plain. If your door faces the street, a stainable,
fiberglass door may be ideal for you.

Many older garage doors allow wind and wind blown rain to
enter. This problem has been solved by a new tongue and
groove feature on the edge of many doors. In addition,
some doors have a weatherstrip gasket that seals tightly as
the door sections close upon one another. Certain doors
offer a unique crush-resistant safety feature. Should fingers
get in between the panels as the door closes, the door
design actually can push the fingers or other objects out of
the way.

__DON'T FENCE ME OUT
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/Rural.htm

Growing up in the American West, I take open space for
granted. The liberty to roam unfettered across millions of
acres of public land is a birthright I never expected to see
challenged or withdrawn.

There are few things I cherish more than the freedom to make
a break for wilderness at a moment's notice, either on foot or
horseback or RV, and to live more closely to nature's laws
than mankind's tyranny for awhile. Whether it's to go fishing
or backpacking or just to sit and think, the right to ramble
about on common ground is as important to me as the right to
speak my mind or find my own spiritual truths.

But not everyone shares these values, to my surprise. There
are those who oppose the idea of public ownership or
common property. There are forces that want to sell off and
subdivide and privatize public land. And there are those who
want to license and tax and erect boundaries between
themselves and all others.

I am growing three varieties of chiles, three varieties of
lettuce, spinach, and zucchini, not to mention a sizable
number of herbs and flowers, annual and perrenial - all in
containers and window boxes, within metropolitan Chicago.
Gotta love this town.

As certified organic growers (past) the cost of certification,
along with all the red tape associated with the new
standards left us frustrated. New USDA guidelines are
suppose to help, but costs from $100 to $900+ did not
allow us to file for certification. Will put in fall garden for
our own use and in the future will be for our own use.
Again, big business has pushed the little farmer out ......
(my opinion only)....

__KITCHEN SPILLS
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/spills.htm

Many thanks to all who participated in our Kitchen
Spills contest. Participation was greater than
expected and the selection of a single winner took
our judges more deliberation than originally
planned.

A unanimous decision, however, was finally reached
to award the autographed copy of Joy of Cooking
to Debbie Puente, who contributed the following
Spill:

"While doing a demo (in front of about a dozen
people) on cookies in the cooking store I work in, I
had one of the most embarrassing moments. I was
mixing the cooking dough with an electric hand
mixer when I thought I heard a funny sound coming
from the motor. With the motor running, I leaned
my ear closer to hear the sound clearer. The
beaters caught my hair! By the time I pulled the
plug my hair was so intertwined with the beaters,
we had to pour sesame oil all over to loosen it up.

Talk about a disaster!

"Not only embarrassing, but painful too."

Debbie is the author of Elegantly Easy Creme
Brulee (1998) and Deceptively Simple (1996) as well
as the editor of Foodstuff,

___MARKET POLL
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/poll.htm

Last week's poll statement:

"Which is the better way to grill? Gas or Charcoal?"

7 responses
5 said Gas
2 said Charcoal

One comment received.
"I suggest not using either one. We use hickory. Gas is a precious
resource and Charcoal is carcenagenic (sic)."

Another comment reeceived:
"I used to think that charcoal was the only way to grill until I tried
gas. It is identical in flavor, but a lot less expensive to use gas.
I must admit--I'm not sure which is actually worse for the environment,
but in this case I choose gas because of the expense and time
consumption over charcoal."

This week's poll question:

"Are you tending a vegetable garden this summer?"

To participate, send an email post with the word "YES"

or "NO" as the Subject to
po...@farmersmarketonline.com

__CLAY PAVING BRICKS
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/askbuild.htm

QUESTION: I am getting ready to install a new driveway and
several sidewalks. Brick appears to me to be a very attractive
material. Will harsh winter weather destroy the brick? What
type of brick do you recommend? What installation method
do you suggest? Are there alternatives?

ANSWER: I compliment you on your tastes. Brick
driveways are extremely attractive. The colors and textures
available today allow you to match your driveway to your
exterior color scheme, if you so choose.

Paving bricks are different from regular house bricks.
They must pass more stringent testing requirements with
respect to compressive strength and cold water absorption.
The Midwest, East Coast, and some Northwestern states
require that the bricks must have a minimum compressive
strength of 8,000 pounds per square inch. They must also
exhibit an absorption rate of cold water less than 8 percent.
Areas of the country with milder climates have less
stringent requirements.

So long as you choose the correct brick for your part of
the country, the weather should not harm it. Bricks were
used successfully on many city roads for years before
asphalt paving became widespread and popular.

__SPICES KILL E. COLO
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/bites.htm

Consumers may have an arsenal of food safety weapons in
their spice racks, according to Kansas State University (KSU)
researchers, who presented preliminary study results on the
antimicrobial properties of spices at the Institute of Food
Technologists' (IFT's) 1998 Annual Meeting & FOOD EXPO.

The researchers reported on the antimicrobial effects of 24
spices tested against e.coli in a laboratory medium,
uncooked hamburger, and uncooked salami.

In the hamburger study, "clove had the highest inhibitory
effect, [followed] in potency by cinnamon, garlic, oregano,
and sage," they reported. However, in the laboratory
studies, garlic had the highest inhibitory effect.

___LIVESTOCK MARKET REPORT: CATTLE PRICES
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/livestoc.htm

Weekly Outlook
July 21, 1998

Recurrent predictions that better cattle prices are imminent
may be correct this time, says Purdue University Extension
marketing specialist Chris Hurt.

"A further decline in the size of the cattle herd means fewer
calves will be coming to market this fall. The increase in
slaughter weights is also expected to level off, resulting in
lower beef supplies starting later this summer. Poor trade
prospects, heavy cow slaughter from the weather-stressed
Southwest, and large pork supplies will limit price
enthusiasm."

Hurt notes that the size of the cattle herd continues to
decline under financial pressure, adverse weather
conditions, and discouraging beef demand. The July
USDA Cattle Inventory report showed the number of
beef cows to be down nearly 2 percent from last year
and down about 6 percent from the cycle peak in 1995.
The number of dairy cows was down 1 percent, reflecting
the long-term trend to fewer cows as productivity
increases.

"Not only is the beef cow herd decreasing, but larger
declines can be expected in the future," says Hurt.
"The number of heifers being retained for herd
replacement was down 6 percent. This means an
additional decline in the number of cows can be
expected in the January 1999 inventory report, perhaps
in the range of 2 to 3 percent.

"Hot and dry weather conditions are also contributing
to an increased rate of cow slaughter. Since early
June, the rate of cow slaughter has increased as herds
in the Southwest have experienced severe feed
shortage. The rate of cow slaughter will likely remain
high through this summer and into the fall as depleted
feed stocks reduce the ability to hold cows through the
winter."

___MARKET POLL

"Have you shopped in an open-air farmers' market this year?"

17 responses
14 said Yes
3 said No

One of the Yes comments received:
"Shopping in an open-air market is soul-satisfying, joyful; it
brings us around to the earth and connects us with it and
those who work with it. I go as often as possible."

One of the No comments received:
"No. Tried to start a farmers market, after five years of
struggling to get committment from farmers I threw in the
towel Customers were plentiful, but could not keep up
with their demand. Must be a cooperative effort of
farmers to facilitate a successful farmers market."

This week's poll question:

Are you eating less beef this year than last year?

or "NO" as the Subject to

From: pats...@moscow.com (Pat Sauer)
I have been subscribed to this list for some time. Only
have time to read once in awhile, but was excited by the
sun-dried tomato recipes. I was quite disappointed to
read the words "Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta Sauce
Mix". I do not think recipes which call for mixes are
worth even considering. Sorry.

__BOBBY'S MOM'S BROWNIE RECIPE
http://www.farmersmarketonline.com/farmfres.htm

Remove teddy bear from oven and preheat oven to 375.

Melt 1 cup margarine in saucepan.

Remove teddy bear from oven and tell Bobby "No, No."

Add margarine to 2 cups sugar.

Take shortening can away from Bobby and clean cupboards.

Measure 1/3 cup cocoa.

Take shortening can away from Bobby again and bathe cat.

Assemble 4 eggs, 2 tsp. vanilla, and 1-1/2 cups sifted flour.

Take smoldering teddy bear from oven and open all doors
and windows for ventilation.

Take telephone away from Bobbyy and assure party on
the line the call was a mistake. Call operator and attempt to
have direct dialed call removed from bill.

Measure 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 cup nuts and beat all ingredients
well.

Let cat out of refrigerator.

Pour mixture into well-greased 9x13-inch pan.

Bake 25 minutes.

Rescue cat and take razor away from Bobby. Throw cat

1 cup sugar
1 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup margarine

Take the darn teddy bear out of the @#$% broiler and

that you didn't know Bobby had slipped out of the house
and was heading for the street. Put Bobby in playpen.

Tie Bobby to clothesline.

Scrape off charred portions of brownies and apply frosting.

__SUMMERTIME SNACK TIPS
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/farmkitc.htm

Summertime Snack Tips

When packing the cooler for the ballpark or picnic,
remember not to overstock the cooler. Air needs to circulate
inside to keep items properly cool.

Be sure to use plenty of ice, and pack your items directly
on the ice.

For a fun kid's drink, place regular drink boxes into the
freezer. They can be served partially frozen for a slushy
drink or simply used to keep drinks colder longer. They're
great for picnics, lunches or baseball games!

Pimientos are best known as the center of a stuffed olive.
They can also add color to ordinary side dishes like corn,
green beans, salads -- even scrambled eggs.

For a fun treat, try dipping crackers halfway into melted
chocolate; coat with sprinkles, coconut or chopped candies.
Or spread snack crackers with creamy peanut butter; top
with miniature marshmallows, chocolate chips and colored
sprinkles.

Pepperoni adds flavor and spice to ordinary dishes. New
turkey pepperoni offers the same spicy pepperoni flavor, with
70% less fat. Turkey pepperoni can easily be substituted in
any recipe with pepperoni.

Blend softened cream cheese and powdered sugar; spread
on crackers and top with fresh fruit pieces.

Stir pimientos and chopped pepperoni into prepared
guacamole. Serve as a dip with crackers.

Top a thin slice of roast beef with a slice of Swiss cheese.
Roll up and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place on crackers and
top with prepared BBQ sauce. See Wild Joe's BBQ Sauce
at http://www.farmersmarketonline.com/bbqsauce.htm

Blend cream cheese, prepared pesto and pimientos;
serve as a spread.

Top crackers with chopped ham, pepperoni and Swiss
cheese drizzled with Italian salad dressing for an Italian
submarine sandwich.

FRESHFARM MARKET
http://www.farmland.org/
FRESHFARM Market is a project of American Farmland
Trust, a national nonprofit organization founded in 1980 to
stop the loss of productive farmland and to promote farming
practices that lead to a healthy environment. Two
FRESHFARM Markets, in Washington, DC and St.
Michaels, Md., provide city residents with fresh, local
produce and farmers with new markets to help them keep
their land in ag production. Local chefs cook at the market
preparing seasonal dishes with market produce. New
recipes are added almost every week to the website by
such chefs as Nora Pouillon, Carol Greenwood, and Susan
Belsinger.

__ATTIC ACCESS
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/askbuild.htm

DEAR TIM: My new home has an access panel which leads to
the attic area. I am tired of using a dangerous step ladder to
get to this part of my home. A folding attic ladder is of some
interest to me. However, many of them seem flimsy. What
should I look for when shopping for attic access steps? How
in the world do you cut the bottoms of the stairs so they fit
perfectly to the floor?

DEAR M. O.: Some of the folding attic steps I have seen and
installed are not much better than your step ladder. There
are major structural differences in folding attic ladders and
disappearing stairways. Some folding attic steps are so weak
that they will not support my weight while carrying a 50 lb box
up to the attic!

If you decide to purchase a folding attic ladder, there are
certain things to look for. Be sure that the stringers (side
members of the adder) and the treads (steps) are at least
3/4 inch thick. Both of these components should also be at
least 3.5 inches wide. Some manufacturers use materials
that are slightly smaller.

Inspect the underside of each tread. Look for a ladder rod.
This is a thin metal rod that passes under each tread. It
provides strength. Be sure that each and every tread has
this rod.

Not all folding ladders are made equal. They each have
different weight bearing capacities. The minimum capacity
you should purchase is 250 pounds. Some models will
handle 300 pounds.

Many homeowners are familiar with the sectional folding
attic ladders. Did you know that you can also purchase and
install a true disappearing one piece stairway? These items
are usually much more durable and often are more
comfortable to climb. The angle of these stairs is often much
closer than that of a regular household staircase.

__PROFITABLE PRODUCE STAND
http://www.FarmersMarketOnline.com/bites.htm

After decades of selling its produce on the wholesale market,
the 250-acre Webb Ranch just west of the Stanford
University campus in Menlo Park now makes most of its sales
farm-direct to customers at its busy produce stand.

Starting as a small outlet for extra strawberries in 1965, the
produce stand expanded greatly when Interstate 280 was
constructed nearby in 1972. Now the stand offers sweet corn,
tomatoes, green beans, squash, pumpkins and other field
crops in addition to berries, melons and orchard fruit.
