POPSFood of the Week: Apples Tips for preparing apples: Rinse apples under clear running water like you would any fruit. If organic, don't peel unless the recipe you have chosen requires peeled apples. To prevent browning when slicing apples for a recipe, simply put the slices in a bowl of cold water to which a spoonful of lemon juice has been added. For use in future recipes, sliced apples freeze well in plastic bags or containers.

POPSGreen (1/8th) Acres sprout in the city The return of treating our modest homesteads as sources of food is a great thing to contemplate. Food security is one of the most important issues today, for our health and for our peace of mind (as long as you choose not use pesticides). We need to celebrate our agrarian ancestry and learn the amazing amount of food that can be produced on a 1/8 acre plot. Every year I grow tomatoes, peppers, peas, green beans, carrots, cucumbers, radish, lettuce, squash, pumpkin, cherries, plums, peaches, pears, apples, and many herbs on my standard lot, all in the backyard. This year I’m building new beds to be used next year to add grapes and I’m going to extend my garden to the front yard. The health benefits, both physical as well as mental, cannot be overstated. A lot of excess goes to the local food bank and pride in doing that cannot be bought. Also, everybody, visit your local farmers market and eat locally.
