~ SSRsi's Recipes Page ~
Not everyone can be as good an on-the-fly cook as I am, so we thought we'd include a page where you can find instructions and ideas for making yummy stuff.

Of course, no-one can top my PBJ on toast,
but there ya go....

Student Cookbook This [online] book is for the student who wants a good meal quickly, inexpensively, reliably and most importantly to some people, without a mess to clean up. Most of the recipes can be prepared in an apartment, dorm, or house as long as there is some heat source (gas, wood, electricity, propane). In fact, one person I know survived his senior year as a political science major with a barbeque as his main cooking apparatus. Microwaves also come in handy for reheating food if there is one available (cafeteria, dorm). Gas and electric ranges work equally well.

Cooking and Recipes Cooking and Recipes for various cuisines. A strange but interesting collection with NO ADVERTISING at all.

Christiane's Collection of Cooking Recipes Christiane presents these recipes from chemists and physicists in both English and German. Apart from making scientific studies, every chemist or physicist in our Institut likes good drinking (Did you know that alcohol is good for preventing radiation sickness?) and eating. Because some of us are hobby cooks we have collected our recipes. These recipes are not expensive and don't make too much work. Included here out of sheer curiosity and amazement that such a site exists.

Fish — this gourmet food is fun to catch, relatively easy to cook, and healthy to eat About 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with salt water, and 4% of land surface (another 1% of the earth’ total surface) is covered with fresh water. In these waters there are more than 20,000 recorded species of fish—15,000 of which are edible—and about 35,000 species of shellfish. Fossilized evidence and ancient rock paintings from around the world show that people have been successfully catching and eating a wide variety of seafood for more than 100,000 years.

Make grape juice the easy way Squeezing and straining grapes for grape juice was not exactly my idea of fun. So when my neighbor showed me a faster, easier method, I was delighted. For anyone else tired of doing it the hard way, follow these steps for a delicious grape juice concentrate. (scroll down for the article)

Greens and rhubarb are spring tonics Rhubarb and greens are classic spring tonics. The reason for this is that they are among the first things to grow to a usable size in springtime, even faster than those other delights, strawberries and lettuce.

Making maple syrup The art of making maple syrup is generally attributed to the Native Americans. Early settlers arriving in America learned the skill from them. They then went on to improve on the Native American’s techniques by creating devices for tapping and collecting the maple tree’s sap. These same basic devices and techniques are still used in America today to produce the maple syrup that we enjoy on our pancakes and waffles.

Slaughtering and Butchering Fall is butchering time, a period of joy in the harvest of the year’s work and of sadness that the lives of your beautiful, healthy animals have come to an end. On this occasion the animals should be treated with the same kindness and respect with which they were treated during their lives. Good farmers raise their animals free from fear, anxiety and stress. The animals should meet their end as they lived, without the terror of the slaughterhouse.
