VEGETABLES ARE JUST SO VERSATILE AND GREAT TO
EXPERIMENT WITH. JUST RECENTLY I MADE THE
FOLLOWING RECIPE AS A TRY OUT WITH GOOD FRIENDS.
SINCE, 1 HAVE MADE IT SEVERAL TIMES AND 1 ENJOY THE
COMBINATION OF FLAVORS. MY HUSBAND AND 1 PREFER
SWEET POTATOES (YAMS) OVER WHITE POTATOES, MAINLY
BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER FOR YOU AND QUITE
FLAVORFUL. I'VE BAKED THEM, ONCE THEY ARE PEELED
AND SLICED INTO 1 1/2 INCH SLICES, BY DIPPING THEM
INTO EGG WHITE MIXED WITH GARLIC POWDER AND
THEN ROLLED IN CRUSHED CORNFLAKES, PARMESAN
GRATED CHEESE AND SPICES (PARSLEY, GARLIC POWDER,
THYME). THE FOLLOWING RECIPE IS ANOTHER TWIST
WITH SWEET POTATOES!
SWEET POTATOES AND
GREEN BEANS
3 sweet potatoes (peeled and julienned)
2 cups french style frozen green beans or fresh green
beans
I Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp maple syrup
FOR
THE
Saute the sweet potato in the olive oil till tender crisp, add
green beans and cook till tender. Drizzle with maple syrup
and serve up with a favorite bbq'd meat! Easy and great
tasting. Experiment with spices like thyme, basil or
rosemary to change up the flavor if you like.
POLICE BRIEFS
Student struck
on skateboard
HENSALL — A driver was charged after a youth on a
skateboard was struck by a car in the Village of
Hensall May 4 shortly after 8:15 a.m.
According to police, some children were waiting for
the school bus on Wellington Street when the accident
occurred. One youth was using a skateboard when a
green 2003 Toyota backed up without looking and
struck the youth, sending him to the ground and con-
tinuing to back up over the skateboard, breaking it in
two.
The youth was taken to the hospital in Exeter where
he was treated for minor injuries.
A 17 -year-old female from Bluewater has been
charged with careless driving and failing to remain at
the scene of an accident.
Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
Those persons with Parkinson's disease take
medications to control symptoms. Sometimes
these medications may not be working as well
and this can be fixed by a simple change in the
time the drug is taken. An example is taking the first dose of the day
earlier while still in bed to allow for greater mobility an hour later.
The cure for diabetes will occur during the next 20 years. Cost of
treating diabetes over a lifetime is over $200,000 per person for
insulin, syringes and blood glucose testing supplies. The extra costs
of more hospitalization and doctor visits push that number even
higher.
If your teeth hurt when exposed to cold, heat, acidic foods or
brushing, you might want to try a desensitizing toothpaste, like
Sensodyne. These toothpastes contain compounds that can reduce
the discomfort. Check with your dentist first to be sure there is no
underlying dental problem,
If you have a bad reaction to a drug, share this information with your
pharmacist as well as your doctor. This information will be recorded
on your permanent prescription record in the pharmacy and can
prevent a similar reaction in the future.
