Well its hard when there are so many nasty people out there. In my opinion, If this recipe works for at least 90% of the people that try it, then the other 10% are either not reading the directions or should take up wood working or gardening and leave the cooking to the rest of usKathy Gottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509914262524839554.post-77814385797066585672015-06-19T18:10:36.410-04:002015-06-19T18:10:36.410-04:00It is always a source of wonderment to me when I r...It is always a source of wonderment to me when I read the nasty comments some leave behind how, instead of being grateful to the individual who shared the recipe, there are snarls, nastiness, even name calling.

From the article: According to the method of analysis chosen, griddling, microwave cooking, and baking alternately produce the lowest losses, while pressure-cooking and boiling lead to the greatest losses; frying occupies an intermediate position. In short, water is not the cook’s best friend when it comes to preparing vegetables.<br /><br />That’s right – microwaving is among the best methods of cooking in terms of preserving nutrients.<br /><br />http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/microwaves-and-nutrition/Lorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509914262524839554.post-69704401414155470792014-12-15T09:57:53.647-05:002014-12-15T09:57:53.647-05:00$1.89 here. $1.50 if you make the 10 minute drive ...$1.89 here. $1.50 if you make the 10 minute drive out to the local farm and bring your own bottles.
