]]> Comment on Toxic BPA in Your Food: The Next Asbestos? by Lynda http://www.savorra.com/2010/01/bpa/comment-page-1/#comment-3062 Lynda Mon, 13 Dec 2010 18:12:25 +0000 http://www.savorra.com/?p=112#comment-3062 Tomatoes are high acid. Even having jar lids lined in BPA is a problem when the substance in them is high acid. Not only have they lined everything but they have forced the home canning market to use BPA by requiring the canning lids to be lined. At least with home canning we can make sure the tomato products don't touch the lids. Tomatoes are high acid. Even having jar lids lined in BPA is a problem when the substance in them is high acid.

]]> Comment on Greek Chicken with Tzatziki Sauce by Dimitri http://www.savorra.com/2010/07/greek-chicken-tzatziki/comment-page-1/#comment-1044 Dimitri Wed, 25 Aug 2010 22:28:21 +0000 http://www.savorra.com/?p=224#comment-1044 Your recipes are fairly authentic--the yogurt should be drained of even more water with a cheese cloth, and the cucumbers should be salted and left to drain of water as well (and a large to med size grater works great for the size of pieces one would want), then you are pretty much on the money. Two hours of both those draining of water should do it, but I have seen some places in Greece that let the yogurt drain for a loooonnng time. :) But this adds more time to prepare things; using the greek yogurt would at least work ok, but if you use normal plain yogurt you should certainly drain it.

I premake meals for my kids, so our baby-sitter can make quick, healthy dinners. Also buy basic ingredients and keep them on hand for quick meals. We just moved and I now went back down to one freezer in our house, and I am devastated! Couldn’t agree more. I premake meals for my kids, so our baby-sitter can make quick, healthy dinners.

I'm definitely going to try this out. I also keep homemade bread crumbs in the freezer - whenever I am at the end of a loaf and can't stand more toast I will throw it in the food processor and then freeze the crumbs for later. Much better than what can be in the store bought kind. Love the herbs in the freezer idea! I’m definitely going to try this out.
