Asia

If Africa is the cradle of civilization, then Asia must be considered the birthplace of the agricultural products that would eventually feed the world. It is believed that systematic agriculture was born during the 10th millennium BC in Southwest Asia. During that time, people in Syria and Iraq domesticated the eight so-called “founder crops” (flax, three cereal grains, and four pulses, including lentils and chickpeas). Among the world’s first domesticated crops, these advancements formed the foundation of systematic agriculture that was adopted throughout Asia, North Africa, and eventually, Europe. Rice cultivation began in Asia’s Far East as early as 10,000 BC. Today, rice provides about one-fifth of all calories consumed by humans, with most of the world’s supply still grown in Asia.

Swedish Meatballs I

Reviewed on Jul. 9, 2009 by JOSEPHINE aka SPITFIRE FOODIE 
This was ok but I thought it was a bit bland. I used homemade cream of chicken and had to substitute cream of wheat for Malt O Meal.

Pastry for Double Pie-Crust

Reviewed on Jul. 8, 2009 by tonton 
This was soooooo hard to work with! I think that it was way tooo crumbly. Very hard to make into a nice crust. I think the shortening needed to be chilled and then added to the flour mixture. After this I think the easiest way to make the crust would be to roll the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap which is the only way it worked for me. I brushed a little water and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on my pie crust. I baked for about 45 minutes. I think if you do the dough between plastic trick it would be the easiest way to work with this.

Maria's Pepper Steak

Reviewed on Jul. 8, 2009 by tonton 
I actually mixed the soy sauce, vinegar and honey and marinated the meat in it. After this I sauteed all the veggies and added the beef and sauce into the same pot and cooked everything together and it came out very yummy. Hubby loved it! I served it with rice. Thank you!
