  • Olive Oil Jars Left Behind By
    live oil jars left behind by the ancient Greeks are testament to our centuries- old use of cooking oil. Along with salt and pepper, oil Oremains one of the most important and versatile tools in your kitchen. It keeps food from sticking to pans, adds flavor and moisture, and conducts the heat that turns a humble stick of potato into a glorious french fry. Like butter and other fats, cooking oil also acts as a powerful solvent, unleashing fat-soluble nutrients and flavor compounds in everything from tomatoes and onions to spices and herbs. It’s why so many strike recipes begin with heating garlic in oil rather than, say, simmering it in water. The ancient Greeks didn’t tap many cooking oils. (Let’s see: olive oil, olive oil, or—ooh, this is exciting!—how about olive oil?) But you certainly can. From canola to safflower to grapeseed to walnut, each oil has its own unique flavor (or lack thereof), aroma, and optimal cooking temperature.

  • Recipes for the Birds Recipes for the Birds 1
    TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE Recipes for the Birds Recipes for the Birds 1 The following recipes have something special for all the guests who will visit your feeders. Your visitors will be delighted with their favorite menus, no matter the season. Ingredients Information Seeds & Grains The following can be bought at your local feed stores: mixed wild bird seed, millet, cracked corn, peanut hearts, thistle and sunflower seeds. Grit Grit is necessary to grind and digest the coarse foods that birds eat. You can purchase commercial bird gravel, or if available, coarse beach sand will serve the purpose. Raw Beef Suet Suet provides energy and warmth during the cold months. When prepar­ ing suet, to make a smoother liquid, put it through a meat grinder before melting. To make a solid suet cake, reheat. For those concerned about spoilage of beef suet in our summer heat, a reasonable alternative is a mixture of equal portions of shortening and peanut butter. Kitchen Scraps Keep cake, doughnuts, pie crust or anything with sugar in a covered con­ tainer. Use a separate container for crusts and stale breads. Granola Treat One cup of each of the following: wheat germ, peanut hearts, white millet, raisins, crushed dog bones and sunflower seeds. Heat 1/2 cup honey separately. Add to dry mixture. Mix well, bake at 375° for ten minutes. Refrigerate. Mixture can be fed as granola treat or mixed with suet. 2 Recipes for the Birds Nesting Season While nesting, birds will not need to depend on humans for food. Providing them with nesting materials and housing will entice visitors.

The Birds-I-View “Suet Butter/Tree Icing” (To fill the BIV 2012 Christmas Open House Gift Ornament/ Feeder) 3/4 Cup creamy peanut butter 1/3 Cup lard 1 1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour Mix together lard & peanut butter. Microwave for approx. 35-40 seconds (adjust as necessary). Add All Purpose flour. Stir until well blended (mixture will be a very soft consistency– not like suet cakes). Spoon the mixture into a container(s) for storage. You may wish to refrigerate the su- et butter as needed to achieve a consistency that works best for you. Add sunflower hearts, nut pieces, or dried mealworms if desired. Spread the Suet Butter/ Tree Icing onto your BIV 2012 Ornament/Feeder for the birds to enjoy! You may also use this recipe to spread on the bark of trees ( for birds like Nuthatches, Brown Creepers, Woodpeckers) or to spread onto pine cones which you can hang near your feeders or where ever you can see and enjoy the birds who visit! Alternate No-Lard Recipe: Recent advice allows for the use of vegetable shortening in the place of lard in home-made suet recipes.

  • What Are “Oils”?
    What are “oils”? Oils are fats that are liquid at room temperature, like the vegetable oils used in cooking. Oils come from many different plants and from fish. Some common oils are: • canola oil • corn oil • cottonseed oil • olive oil • safflower oil • soybean oil • sunflower oil Some oils are used mainly as flavorings, such as walnut oil and sesame oil. A number of foods are naturally high in oils, like: • nuts • olives • some fish • avocados Foods that are mainly oil include mayonnaise, certain salad dressings and soft (tub or squeeze) margarine with no trans fats. Check the Nutrition Facts label to find margarines with 0 grams of trans fat. Most oils are high in monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats, and low in saturated fats. Oils from plant sources (vegetable and nut oils) do not contain any cholesterol. In fact, no foods from plants sources contain cholesterol. A few plant oils, however, including coconut oil and palm kernel oil, are high in saturated fats and for nutritional purposes should be considered to be solid fats. Solid fats are fats that are solid at room temperature, like butter and shortening. Solid fats come from many animal foods and can be made from vegetable oils through a process called hydrogenation. Some common solid fats are: • butter • beef fat (tallow, suet) • chicken fat • pork fat (lard) • stick margarine • shortening How are oils different from solid fats? All fats and oils are a mixture of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Solid fats contain more saturated fats and/or trans fats than oils. Oils contain more monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fats.

Productivity can be increased by providing invertebrates (Peach, Sheehan & Kirby, 2014; Peach et al. in press). This study tested the effectiveness of three habitat treatments in increasing invertebrates and seeds in London parks, and their usage by house sparrows. Treatments were: annually sown ‘wildlife seed’ plots; sown perennial wildflower meadows; and existing grass grown taller. Treatment establishment and seed abundance were assessed by vegetation measurements, and practicality qualitatively assessed through questionnaires. Invertebrate abundance and variety were measured using sweep netting and vacuum sampling, and relationships tested with treatment type and modelled air pollution levels.
