w10 -- Scugog Citizen -- Wednesday , May 26, 1993 pra by Deb McDonald Rhubarb: Vegetable or Fruit? Did yout know that rhubarb may be classified as a vegetable? Since it is almost always cooked with sugar or with a sweetener, it is used as a fruit. The leaves are dtighly toxic and should be removed and discarded right away. Rhubarb also was originally cultivated for its roots which have medicinal properties. It freezes well when chopped or stewed. Many are aware of its laxative properties, and it is also a source of potassium, calcium and some iron. A cup of diced raw rhubarb contains only 20 calories but this advantage will be significantly changed when sugar is used to sweeten it (add about 16 calories per tsp.). Better yet, try "Splenda" artificial sweetener, which does not illicit ani aftertaste. Rhubarb - Banana Crisp The addition of the banana Healthstyles deb mcdonald home cookin' Jyada kendry Most of my favourite recipes were shared with me by someone who treasured their copy of that recipe. It was probably enjoyed at a certain function or party where most of us only show our best - at least from the kitchen. Many times recipes will be passed down and around and should it return to the originator, it wouldn't be recognized. Most of us will make some minor change or substitution, usually not even changing the written recipe. That helps to explain why occasionally, the end product isn't the same as you expected! i The suspicioffs among us might think that to be intentional but of course none of us really think any of our friends or loved ones would do such a thing! For months now, I've been hearing raves from my dear spouse about the excellent coleslaw he often enjoys at noon hour. It sounded a lot like what I chll Maude's coleslaw (I was given the recipe by a very fine and fun loving lady at my first "real" job at the Cottage Hospital kitchen in Uxbridge). Bill brought it home last week after. warning Mrs. Edwards at Port Perry High that she just might see it in print. Bill seldom raves (about coleslaw that is), so I thought I should share this great recipe with you. It will keep in the frig for a long time and goes well with burgers-or casseroles. Thanks Mrs. Edwards (I've heard a lot about a Mexican style soup tool). Pickled Coleslaw 1 large cabbage (shredded) 2 large onions (thinly sliced) 1/4 c. sugar 1 tsp. salt Place in Bowl.
