to—lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 26,1983 Prepare To Save Hie Nutrients Suppose you are preparing a well-balanced evening meal - roast beef, tossed green salad, mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables. To save time, you peeled and sliced all the salad vegetables in the'morning before leaving for work. You removed the outer leaves on the lettuce and soaked the remaining leaves in iced water to retain crispness. You also took the roast out of the freezer in the morning and put it on the counter to thaw. That evening you peeled and boiled the potatoes. After thawing the frozen mixed vegetables, you boiled and drained them in preparation for serving. The scene is complete. Just as your family was clamoring for dinner, you got everything on the table - everything, that is, except all the important nutrients that were washed, peeled, soaked, thawed and boiled away as you prepared dinner. With the whole month of March set aside as National Nutrition Time, you might want to set aside some of your time to consider how you can serve more nutritious meals without even changing your meal planning. You can retain vital nutrients, vitamins and minerals by: scrubbing (not peeling! vegetables, slicing vegetables just before serving, not soaking vegetables in water, cooking potatoes in the skin; just scrubbing them prior to boiling. steaming vegetables (not boiling) taken directly from the freezer, saving vegetable water and Each Necklace Beautifully Crafted In Genuine Pewter.

Never! Even after you’ve made the decision to rebuild or remodel and have carefully chosen a contractor, your part of the job is not over. You still have work to do and the most important part is negotiating the contract. NEVER allow a contractor to begin work without a written contract - it protects you both. The contract should be based on the on site estimate for the job. A bid would even be better. The dif ference is that a bid is a precise accounting of the amount a con tractor will charge to do a par ticular job. An estimate, on the other hand is an educated guess. Unless your job is relatively straightforward, a written estimate is what your contractor will offer. Once you have it in writing, if there are any sections you do not understand have an attorney review it before you sign. Never agree to oral guarantees and do not leave sections of your contract blank to be completed later. Make sure the contract includes the following: name and address and phone number of the contractor; your name, address, and phone number; a complete description of the work; Manheim, Pa. 17545 a specific description 01 (lie materials to be used; a provision requiring your written approval for any changes in the agreed-to plans and specifications; a requirement that the con tractor obtain workman’s com pensation and public liability in surance so that you are protected in case of injury; a guarantee with terms which are clearly stated and cover all promised items; —a clear listing of total cost and specific terms of payment for both materials and labor. (Do not make substantial payments in advance. Generally, home contracting work is paid for when it is satisfactorily completed, in installments, as portions are completed to your satisfaction); the signature of the con tractor.
