Vegetables For A Long Life

 

"The favourite phrase, 'our four-footed friends', seems rather an anachronism in the face of our acknowledged relations to them as eater and eaten, for the phrase indicates a mutual pact of friendship, which, however well sustained by them, is dishonored by man; for even cannibals, we are told, sink no lower than to eat their foes."*

 

CAULIFLOWER WITH CREAM SAUCE

Ingrediants:

● 1 head of cauliflower ● 1 tsp. light soy sauce
● 1 1/4 tsp. salt ● 1/2 cup water
● 1 Tblsp. corn starch ● 2 Tblsp. oil
● 1/2 cup milk

● 1/8 tsp. sugar

Clean and cut the cauliflower into small pieces. Fill a 4 quart pot with enough water to cover the cauliflower, add1 tsp. of salt and bring to a boil. After boiling, turn to low heat and let it cook for approximately one half hour or until tender. Dump it into a strainer and rinse with cold water.

Mix corn starch, milk, light soy sauce, water, sugar, and 1/4 tsp. of salt together in an oiled frying pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and pour it on top of the cauliflower. Bake in 250º oven for one half hour. Serve while hot. (Other vegetables may also be used.)

2 cups of dried Chinese mushrooms (approx. 25 to 30 mushrooms)
