up 10-- Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday , February 23, 1993 Zz Family Literacy Week: get involved, share the gift Can you imagine going a day, a week, a month or a lifetime without reading? For hundreds of thousands of Canadians, lack of literacy skills leave a huge void in their home cookin' lynda kendry Snacking Time It has been a common thought that ity day-to-day lives and often make it impossible to find even menial employment. February 27 to March 6 has been declared Regional Family Literacy Week, and the purpose is simple enough: to highlight the value of reading and writing for people of all ages. Cuddling up for a family story is a wonderful way to build warm memories and to promotes invention. My theory extends that thought. Laziness = invention too! This came to me the other day when I had the urge to bake cookies but didn't want to take the time to bake them - my oven is small so I can only bake one dozen at a time. The solution - use the cookie recipe and bake it in a "x18" pan and have squares! The recipe I used was one I copied from T.V. when Mrs. Fields' was promoting her new cookbook recently. I doubled the amount of baking soda and substituted coconut for Chocolate chips - the result was a moist bar that keeps well in an airtight container. It would probably be even better with the chocolate chipe too! Coconut Bars! Bake at 360° oven Mix in order given.

It is a potentially serious that can cause debilitating consequences, such as painful deformity, tooth loss crippling fractures and even death from complications. Namely, Osteoporosis is a threatening women's health issue. Diet, lack of exercise, heredity, race, lack of sex hormones and possibly other undiscovered factors are related to this condition. Prevention, therefore, is the key defense in minimizing it's development. Women, Ily b the ages of 2040 years, should implement the following recommendations: * a diet rich in calcium * a regular physical activity, such as a weight-bearing exercise to help build strong bones and therefore increase bone mass. - Try cycling, aerobics or walking. * diet detractors include excessive consumption of alcohol and caffeine, and smoking. For adequate calcium intake, your body needs about 700 mg. per day. That's the amount found in 2 1/2 glasses of milk. Some professionals may even advise you to up this intake to calcium through certain foods in your diet. Milk and milk products contribute about 65% of the calcium found in a balanced diet. A secondary source comes from other foods but in lower levels and they are not as well-absorbed by the body. Here's a list of the top calcium foods in accordance with Canada's Food Guide. * Milk Products 66% (milk, yogurt, cheese) * Grain Products 14% (whole grain breads and cereals) * Vegetables & Fruits 12% (especially dark green vegs., turnip and rhubarb) * Meat & Alternatives 9% (fish, white beans, kidney and soya, salmon with bones, sardines, scallops, sunflower seeds and Tofu).
