Host Families Sought

dent July 21-Aug. 18.
Host families share one thing
in common a willingness to
welcome a Japanese youngster
into their home as a family mem
ber, not as a tourist or special
guest. Families are required to
have a child who is the same sex
and who is close in age to the
Japanese youth, and they need to
have the enthusiasm to share
their lives and their culture with
their Japanese visitor for the
four-week homestay.
The Japanese members want
to experience
daily life in
North America,
so no special
trips or enter
tainment are re
quired. They look
forward to doing
family chores,
learning new
games, shopping,
trying new foods,

Consuming
Thoughts

Quick meals do not have to be
boring. In fact, by focusing on
foods that cook quickly like
pasta, fresh vegetables, boneless
chicken, beef and fish fillets, you
can turn out a delicious gourmet
meal in less than 30 minutes. Fol
low these suggestions and try the
recipe that follows.
• Consult your menu. If you are
going to cook chicken on Tues
day, take it out of the freezer
Monday morning and let it thaw
in your refrigerator. If you forget,
defrost it in the microwave and
take care of other chores while it
thaws. It is not safe to thaw foods
on the kitchen counter!
• Try simple variations on old
standbys. Add a bit of orange
rind or fresh grated ginger (keep
some in the freezer ready to
grate) to vegetables while they
cook. Or add salsa or drizzle of
lemon or lime juice before serv
ing. Bake or microwave poultry
as usual, but with mustard and
herbs, no-salt added tomato
puree and herbs, or salsa on top.
Or poach in orange or tomato
juice or low sodium chicken
bouillon with a dash of thyme or
cinnamon.
For a Mexican touch, spread
fish with plain lowfat yogurt and
top with salsa before cooking.
Add dried fruit or celery, scal
lions or mushrooms to a basic rice
or couscous recipe. Vary salads
by using different in-season vege
tables, and lots of them. Experi
ment with different flavored vine
gars as a dressing.
To make salads quickly, wash
a few days’ worth of lettuce at a
time. Spin or pat dry and store in
plastic bags in the refrigerator.
• Use leftovers wisely. Leftov
