Roger Tappen’s Good Taste – This Week: Home Tailgating
I’ve experienced tailgating at a Pittsburgh Steelers game and it was a nice experience. I was the designated tailgate chef. The menu included prime rib, cooked to rare. It was sliced and wrapped in individual portions prior to traveling to the game. Betty’s Herb-Seasoned Chicken Crunch Recipe

What’s the procedure? How can I place the pizza tray to stay above the hot coal? How long do I burn the wood for?
a wood burning pizza oven has a separate chamber for baking above the wood box…you would need to construct a steel box to sit on top of the wood stove to bake in…they make camping ovens similar to this …check campmor at http://www.campmor.com

If you want to burn fat and lose weight safely, why not take advantage of some of nature’s most perfect foods? These are foods that not only taste great, but work with your body to burn fat and accelerate your weight loss at the same time.
These are called “negative calorie foods” because of the way your body processes them. By eating negative calorie foods, you actually burn fat and see weight loss because your body burns more calories digesting these foods than you actually take in from eating them.
In other words, a dessert containing 450 calories may only take 150 calories for your body to digest. So you have a net gain of 300 calories. But a fresh vegetable that has around 50 calories will take your body 100 calories to digest. So you are burning 50 more calories than you are taking in, resulting in a “negative” caloric intake of 50 calories.
What is a perfect example? An apple. Not only is an apple tasty and good for you (an apple a day, remember) but a medium sized apple puts about 100 calories into your system.
However, you burn around 130 to 150 calories to digest the apple; so you are burning more calories through digestion of the apple than you are taking in from eating it. You actually have a negative caloric intake from eating the apple.
There are several excellent negative calorie foods that you should try and incorporate into your diet on an everyday basis if you want to burn fat and lose weight. And not surprisingly, these foods are some of the healthiest foods you can eat when it comes to weight loss.
However, don’t design a diet using only negative calorie foods. That would not only be boring, but unhealthy for you as well. Why not try and incorporate negative calorie foods as a supplement to what you would normally eat on a daily basis?
For example, instead of that baked potato, why not have some extra broccoli, spinach, or some other leafy greens instead? Substitute that high sugar cereal with some yogurt and fresh blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries.
And everyone has heard of the “grapefruit diet”; the grapefruit diet works because it is another negative calorie food. Sweeten the tartness of grapefruit with a little cinnamon (which helps bump up your metabolism as well).
Substitute salmon for that steak or prime rib; not only is salmon high in protein and omega 3 fats (the good fat), but it is another great negative calorie food that your body craves. And grilled salmon is one of the best tasting fish recipes available to you.
Nuts are a great substitute for candy; replace those Hershey kisses with a handful of almonds or cashews. Nuts are a great source of vegetable protein, and they boost the immune system as well as lowering bad cholesterol levels.
Also, replace those sodas with some green tea. Green tea is loaded with antioxidants, and has a high thermogenic effect which cranks up your metabolism to help burn fat and lose weight as well.
And there is no special green tea you need to get at some health food store. Simple green tea you find at the grocery store will work just fine. If you can’t take the taste of green tea, try some green tea extract available in pill form in the vitamin aisle. Just make sure that you get the 500 mg or higher tablets to get the full benefits of the antioxidants in green tea.
Or try the old standby of simply adding some fresh squeezed lemon to a glass of water. Most citrus fruits are negative calorie foods, and they have a full complement of nutrients that your body needs.
Try and experiment with adding at least one negative calorie food to every meal. You are not going to drop 20 pounds overnight; but over time you will see results in your quest to burn fat and lose weight.
And it will also be a healthy weight loss, since most negative calorie foods are good for your body in the first place.

BREAD is sometimes defined as any form of baked flour, but as the word is commonly understood it means only those forms of baked flour which contain some leavening substance that produces fermentation. The making of bread has come down through the ages from the simplest methods practiced by the most primitive peoples to the more elaborate processes of the present day. In truth, to study the history of bread making would amount to studying the accounts of the progress that has been made by the human race. Still, in order that the production of bread from suitable ingredients may be fully understood, it will be well to note the advancement that has been made.
In the earliest times, what was used as bread was made in much the same way as it is today by many uncivilized and semicivilized people. The grain was ground between stones, usually by hand, and then mixed with water to form a dough; then this dough was formed into flat, compact cakes and baked in hot ashes, the result being a food very difficult to digest. Later on, some one discovered that by allowing the dough to stand until fermentation took place and then mixing it with new dough, the whole mass would rise, and also that by subjecting this mass to the action of heat, that is, baking it, the mass would be held in place and become a loaf of raised bread that was lighter and, of course, more digestible. It was this discovery that led up to the modern bread-making processes, in which substances known as leavening agents, or ferments, are used to make bread light, or porous. Chief among the substances is yeast, a microscopic plant that produces fermentation under favorable conditions.
Indeed, so important is this ferment that, in the United States, whenever the term bread is used alone it means yeast, or leavened, bread, whereas, when other leavening agents are used, the bread is referred to as hot bread, or quick bread, as is fully explained in another Section. It will be well to note this fact, for in all cases throughout these COOKING lessons yeast, or leavened, bread is always meant when the term bread is used alone.
References in the history of the ancient Hebrews show that bread made light by means of fermentation was known thousands of years ago, but it was not until after the accidental discovery of the action of yeast that the making of wholesome and digestible bread became possible. Through this important advance in the making of bread came a demand for better grains and more improved methods of making flour. Indeed, so much attention has been given to these matters that at present the three important processes relating to bread-making–the raising of wheat, the milling of flour, and the manufacture of yeast–are carefully and scientifically performed. These industries, together with the commercial manufacture of bread, occupy an important place in the business of practically all civilized nations.
Among people who are not highly civilized, bread forms the chief article of food and often almost the entire diet, even at the present time; but as man progresses in civilization he seems to require a greater variety of food, and he accordingly devises means of getting it. Since bread is only one of the many foods he finds at his disposal, it does not assume a place of so much importance in present-day meals as it formerly did. However, it still makes up a sufficient proportion of the food of every family to warrant such careful and extensive study, as well as such mastery of the processes involved, that the housewife may present to her family only the best quality of this food.
Although it does not have such extensive use as it had in the past, bread of some description, whether in the form of loaves, biscuits, or rolls, forms a part of each meal in every household. This fact proves that, with the exception of milk, it is more frequently eaten than any other food. A food so constantly used contributes very largely to the family’s health if it is properly made. However, there is possibly nothing in the whole range of domestic life that so disturbs the welfare of the entire family as an inferior quality of this food, which, besides proving detrimental to the digestion, adds materially to the household expense.
Of course, in many bakeries, bread of an excellent quality is made in a perfectly hygienic manner, and to be able to procure such bread is a wonderful help to the busy housewife or to the woman who finds it inconvenient to make her own bread. Still, practically every person enjoys “home-made” bread so much more than what is made commercially that the housewife will do well to make a careful study of this branch of COOKING. If it is properly understood, it will not be found difficult; but the woman who takes it up must manifest her interest to master a few essential principles and to follow them explicitly. After she has obtained the knowledge that she must possess, experience and practice will give her the skill necessary to prevent poor results and a consequent waste of material.
In recent years, a revived and burgeoning interest in wholesome, locally baked bread has swept the country, with bakeries springing up in small towns and major urban areas alike, producing an astounding variety of interesting, crusty, tasty, handmade breads. The Bread Builders explains the grains and flours, leavens and doughs, the chemistry of bread, and the physics of baking in a big book …
