Fight snack attacks

I am a snackaholic and have no qualms to admit to a habit of eating whole life becomes more interesting every year new products and recipes are introduced. Snacking is not an eating disorder unless Snackers go overboard with the choices that the rock rules of healthy eating. Those of us who live alone no doubt subscribe to a diet out of the concept full meal.

The key to healthy snacking is to be prepared with the right foods when you know the inevitable snack attack will be affected. For me it's three times a day by mid-morning, afternoon, and about 9 o'clock.Just before bedtime, my thirst for something sweet is so uncontrollable that I usually make the trek down, to satisfy him. I prefer my house oatmeal cookies with raisins, but limit them to two a week. I never get tired of peanut butter stuffed in celery or spread on thick wheat crackers, but since I discovered Greek yogurt that I keep plenty on hand.

You do not have to be home to suffer from hunger. I was a fan of French McDonald FRY since I tasted in Toledo in the 50's and occasionally on my way back weekly Posey Lake Toledo I stop at McDonald Blissfield for a small portion.To ensure that high-fat snack is only an occasional treat, I keep a bag of raw whole almonds in the car for everyday snacking on the road. Almond scored high in vitamin E, fiber, monounsaturated fatty acids, calcium and zinc.

Snacking is an American pastime that historians day culinary pilgrims, who are said to have eaten popcorn in the first Thanksgiving in 1621. Pilgrims ate popcorn for their livelihood. It was good fiber and low in fat was a bonus.

Enter the chips in the American diet snacks. Proof of its popularity can be seen in supermarket aisles stocked with the style and the choice of many flavors.The story of its origin is that when Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt complained that his fried potatoes were too thick, the head sliced ​​very thin them and put them in hot grease. Commodore approved and potato chips were born.

It is wise to read the labels on the bars in boxes with names that suggest intriguing nutrition, but maybe not the whole truth. A brand of fiber bar has 140 calories per bar, 9 grams fiber, 95 grams of sodium and 10 grams of sugar. In contrast, four dried apricots I enjoy mid-afternoon have no sodium or fat, 460 milligrams potassium and 21 grams of sugar.

The recipe first immersion is said to have been created in the early 1950s when the team home economics at the Institut National Potato Chip combined with sour cream and cheese as a dip for chips. The introduction of Lipton in 1954 to the fall in California adding the mixture to onion soup with sour cream was one of the greatest of all time quick and tasty recipes.

Remembering the Past

Now that we're into the full summer tilt, there are unmistakable signs of the season. Predictable unbearably hot summer weather, the return of termite season with their inevitable swarms on those windless nights and the sound of the taiko from the yagura on weekends commemorating the start of the Obon season. Though it started as a Buddhist custom to celebrate with those who have passed before us, this summertime festival now is attended by Buddhists and non Buddhists alike. But then again, remembering those have passed before us, especially remembering the sacrifices made for us has no religious, national or ethnic boundaries. Here in the 50th, we've even crossed the Obon custom of ending the season with the toro nagashi or lantern festival to help departed souls back by starting with the toro nagashi on Memorial Day to meld America's day of remembrance with the traditional Obon season of remembrance. I'm sure my ancestors know where and when to return since we've been sending them off even before they arrive. Because Mom originally hailed from Wailuku, Maui I spent many a summer vacationing on Maui. Which means most of the Obon festivals we attended were on the Valley Isle. As a child I never pondered the meaning or significance of the Obon season, it simply was another carnival like setting where you could get local style foods. Whereas the 50th State Fair on Oahu offered the same food that you might find stateside like hotdogs, burgers and ice cream, Obon season on Maui meant shave ice with ice cream and azuki beans, chow fun, fresh corn grilled with shoyu and sugar and pickled mango. I fondly remember consuming loads of chow fun from your standard conical snow cone cup (heck, a single cup served as food holder for multiple dishes). Of course the season meant more than just traditional Obon faire. It also meant Nashiwa Bakery cake doughnuts, Komoda Bakery cream puffs, Noda Market shoyu butterfish and fried noodles, Ooka Market bentos packed on a styrofoam tray, Takamiya Market poi and okazuya style prepacked foods and Tasaka guri-guri. Or maybe Tokyo Tei's chicken sukiyaki or Archie's saimin or Tasty Crust's fried rice or breakfast at Hazels' or Maui Boys or Sam Sato's dry saimin. Often the food memories simply came from Auntie K's kitchen.
