Never Fail Pastry Mix
MMMMMPASTRY MIX INGREDI
6 cup Flour
1 tbsp Salt
1 lb Can of vegetable shortening
TO MAKE 1 PIE CRUST
2 cup Pastry mix
2 tbsp To 3, ice water
TO MAKE MIX:
Sift flour and salt together into a large bowl
Drop shortening into the mixture by spoonfuls and with a pastry
blender or two knives,cut it into the flour mixture until the mixture
is crumbly. Stop when the mixture still looks coarse--do not let it
become smooth. If you know exactly how the mixture should look you
can do this in the food processor, but be careful not to over process.
Store pastry mix in a tightly sealed container on pantry shelf in
medium to cool weather for 1 to 3 months. If the weather is warm or
humid, it is better to keep this in the refrigerator. Let it warm to
room temperature and recrumble a bit if needed before using.
TO USE:
For a single pie crust you will need:
2 cups Pastry mix 2 to 3 tb ice water
Toss the mix and ice water gently unitl the mixture begins to stick
together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface--formica, marble or a
cutting board--and gently roll out a circle to fit your pie pan. Some
people use a pastry cloth or a square of clean muslin to cover the
surface they are working on, roll the pastry out right on the cloth,
and then lift the cloth and pastry, turn it uside down into the pan,
and peel the cloth away.
As you lift the dough into the pan, remember that tears can be
repaired with a bit of water and a small piece of dough, or you could
remove the holey inadequate curst, knead it back together and try
again. The more you knead, however, the tougher the pie crust will
become, so practice until you have a light sure touch.
Cheap Trick:
If you fear that you'll never get the hang of rolling out a pie crust
that doesn't tear apart, you might try placing a ball of dough into a
large size plastic bag and roll the dough while it is still int he
bag. When it isthe right size, cut open the bag, remove the top
sheet, flip the dough inot your pan,and remove the bottom sheet.

Dieting made easy
If you enjoy eating, but want to regain your youthful figure and also boost your general shape, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should follow a carefully designed sensible meal plan. If possible, this must include 5 standard portions of fruit & veg daily and also incorporate a sensible mixture of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
In deciding on a meal plan, you have to make sure you decrease intake of refined carbohydrate, fats and salt.
When chosing foods for dieting, dieters frequently direct your attention to supermarket and brand name food products professing to be 'low-fat'. This is most certainly incorrect, since an item may well be very low in fat, but also high in carbs & calories.
Try drinking more water. At times at some stage in a normal work day, you have an idea that you feel hunger when in reality you may just need a cold cup of water or orange juice. The sensations of being thirsty and being hungry are quite similar, but one ends in a fat tummy and one is fine.
Rather than thinking about which foods you need to leave out of your meal plan, concentrate on the nutritionally sound foods which you should add to your meal plan. If one can manage to insert some healthy grains and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll soon find that you feel full and have a far lower likelihood of being seduced by those detrimental mid-day nibbles.
