THE RECIPE OF THE VEGETABLE SOUP WE ATE IN

TRANSYLVANIA AT

MELINDA'S FAMILY VILLAGE

Romanian

Ciorba soup ( A Rumanian Recipe )

INGREDIENTS:

6 quarts water

8 large potatoes, cubed

1 cup green beans, cut

2 large carrots, sliced thin

8 tomatoes

1 head cabbage, cut into 1 inch chunks or very fine shreds

3 onions, chopped finely

4 large dill pickles, chopped

1 6 oz. can tomato paste

4 green peppers, chopped

2 stalks celery, sliced thinly

basil, oregano, and thyme to taste

RECIPE:

Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, carrots, and celery. Add green

beans. Blanch,

peel and chop tomatoes. Add to soup. In a bowl, mix tomato paste with 1

cup of

hot soup stock from pot until smooth. Add all back to pot and stir. Add

cabbage.

In a wok or skillet, brown onions and green peppers lightly, then add

to pot. Cook

until cabbage is tender- about 5 minutes. Turn off heat. Add parsley,

dill pickles

and herbs. Salt and pepper to taste.

Fish soup is cooked in all regions of Romania ( Transylvania, Oltenis,

Moldova,

Muntenia etc., and especially in Dobrogea where the Danube's Delta

provides plenty

of fish.

Some 350 people took part in the quest to become the best fish soup

chef in the

Balkans.

The town of Sombor, Serbia played host this year.

Traditionally, fish soup is prepared in small kettles on open fire by

fishermen.

The recipe includes a lot of chopped onion, hot ground chili peppers,

spices such

as black pepper, white wine and tomato juice.

And of course, fish.

But the challenge is in the ratios and timing of each individual

chef.

The number of competitors at the fish soup festival is growing annually

officials

expected that around 3,500 people would taste the soup this year.

Visitors are

offered to taste the soup for free. A panel of judges picks the winners

- the grand

prize: a golden pot.

Genetically

engineered foods – a source of rising food allergies?

The huge jump in childhood food allergies in the

US is in the news

often.

But most reports fail to consider a link to a recent radical change in

America’s

diet.

Beginning in 1996, bacteria, virus and other genes have been

artificially inserted to the DNA of soy, corn, cottonseed and canola

plants.

These unlabeled genetically modified (GM) foods carry a risk of

triggering life-threatening allergic reactions.

Researchers have found

that even short

periods of daily meditation can improve both focus and

performance.

Subjects in a study were split into two

categories. The first,

consisting of

those new to meditation, underwent an eight-week course including 30

minutes

of daily meditation.

The second group, which was composed of those already experienced with

meditation,

attended a full-time, one month retreat.

Are There Antibiotics

in Your

Lettuce?

The routine feeding of antibiotics to livestock

has released yet

another thorn

into the proverbial side of your food supply. Those antibiotics are

being transferred,

via manure, into the U.S. food supply.

Insulin resistance – not

belly fat – to

blame for metabolic

syndrome

Metabolic syndrome – a group of symptoms

including diabetes,

pre-diabetes, high

blood pressure and high cholesterol that increases the risk of heart

disease – is

no longer thought to be caused primarily by abdominal fat.

Umeboshi Magic

The umeboshi is truly a miracle of nature. Much

has been said and

written about

this little pickled, pink, shrivelled little plum (botanically actually

an apricot).

It truly is a merging of extreme energies – the very yin plum and the

very yang

salty medium in which it is pickled. It has remarkable healing

properties with

intense antiseptic and digestive rebalancing effects. It also has a

profound

impact on the quality of the blood. It has rescued many people

fromintense, acute

or chronic digestive difficulties.

nature. However,

some times we may over indulge in nature or we may experience nature a

little

too closely.
