Waste not tip - if you need lemons or oranges for juice don't throw away the skins.  There are a number of things you can do with them.  Zest the skins before you cut the fruit, put the zest in a snap lock bag and freeze it.  It can be add to all sorts of dishes and used as a garnish.  Remove the pith from the rind and slice the rind into thin slices and cook it slowly in syrup to give you crystalised peel that can be used in many different ways.  Freeze halves of oranges and lemons after removing their flesh and use them to hold sorbet or icecream for a nicely presented dessert.

Ethical eating tip - become a vegivore.  A vegivore is someone who eats meat occasionally but does not see it as central or even essential to a meal.  They enjoy eating lots of other things as well
such as grains, fruit and vegetables.  I have become one without even realising it.  See Food Philosopy tab for more details on this very healthy and ethical approach to eating.

All puffed up and delicious
