On the Organic / Free range subject

This morning I saw on tv again, a dietitian talking about Organic and Free-range and about the prices, and how nutritionally speaking doesn't make so much difference for you, bla bla bla bla bla...AT LEAST, this one (different from other articles I have read or watched on tv) spoke about the free-range / organic being less cruel to the animals, and more enviromental friendly.

Seriously, is it so hard to reason about it? That subject gets me really upset. Of course the calories and vitamins are the same...but what about the chemicals? Its 10x worse for your health eating something genetically modified or full of agrotoxics and pesticide...that's not rocket science.
Also, free range its (Supposed to be) less cruel for the animal. If the animal is less stressed, the quality of the food will be better. Dietitians can say whatever they want, but free range eggs are better for cooking, and only a cook knows that. :)


So my advise for everyone that reads my blog is, if you can afford, buy free -range, cruelty free, organic, local markets and fresh everytime you can.

Here is what I found on the RSPCA Australia website:


Shop Humane

Next time you’re shopping remember to purchase RSPCA Approved food. Eggs and meat approved under the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme have been produced humanely and by choosing RSPCA Approved products you will be helping the RSPCA improve the lives of Australia’s farm animals. RSPCA Approved products are available at supermarkets and butchers. Search for your nearest stockist now.

RSPCA Paw of Approval

RSPCA Paw of Approval
The RSPCA Paw of Approval is only found on products that come from animals that are part of the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme. If you see the RSPCA logo on a carton of eggs, packet of pork, chicken or turkey, you can be assured that animals involved in the production of these products were raised under high animal welfare standards.

Wednesday is day of

Wednesday is the day that I work from home, although today is my last one, since I will finish working this Friday. I have this girl cleaning my house because I  can't do much, plus I prefer to pay someone to help with the cleaning if I can. I think its because I grew up in Brazil where you usually have a live in cleaner (or used to, cause I hear things are changing there. So I didn't do much today. I did eat chocolate (Please someone make the chocolate go away), cooked dinner in the morning (Before the cleaner came).  I made a mushroom ricotta quiche (Recipe is here ) that is delicious (had some for lunch). and spent the whole afternoon researching about my new little project (its in the oven) and not getting anywhere really cause I am finding challenging to find the suppliers I need in Australia. I Also did some work, but 2 days before I finish I don't really have so much to do. Anyway, that's my day. Time to go pick up my son from day care. Til next time Xo...

Que pasa con las relaciones reales????

Si, es verdad! Después de orkut (o antes, en realidad no lo se) vemos una proliferación imensa de sitios de relaciones, intercambios, grupos, personas, deseos, fotos, y lo que nos imaginemos. Orkut Flickr Last.fm 43things Blogs Fotologs etc, etc, etc. Será que ya llegamos al punto que somos tan dependientes de la tecnologia que no somos capaces de salir de casa y hacer amigos a la moda antigua? O será que virtualmente hoy en dia nos parece mas facil porque podemos pintar la imagen que queramos y es una manera de esconder la realidad? Que pasa con la realidad? no se...este post va a tener parte 2...lo voy a pensar un poco. por favor, diganme que opinan??? De cualquier manera, apesar de todo lo malo que se supone que puede tener, o que esta pasando con el mundo, tiene su parte buena, como compartir la musica que yo escucho, que es lo que les pongo ahora mismo! Que disfruten... y que las amistades virtuales se hagan cada vez mas reales...

Recipe Index

From freeprintableonline.com Last night I had this idea...I decided to create an index from all the recipes I have in my books and mags. Why? Well, I don't know about you, but I don't remember everything and I thought...wait, If I would have a file, with categories, and etc...when I am looking for an idea to cook I could look all the recipes I have in one place...:) Yaaaay! It will take me a while. I am actually doing a Google Doc, so I can access it from anywhere.  I am putting the name, cooking time, how many servings, where is it (Which Mag, book, etc) and some categories, like Meat, chicken, egg - Main, salad, dessert - and comments. I am also filtering by stuff that I don't eat, would never even try, looks waaaay too complicated (Hello Master chef magazine). I will let you know how it goes... Love,  Vic
