Countdown to dinner:

20 minutes ahead:
Rinse the swordfish and pat dry. Brush olive oil and lime juice onto both
sides of the swordfish. Broil the swordfish on the broiler rack about
5 inches from the heat for 6-8 minutes per side, until cooked through.
Dinner’s ready:
Divide the swordfish among 4 plates. Serve with the Curried Wheatberry
Salad and fruit salsa.
The Dietitian says:
Each half-cup of curried wheatberry salad provides a serving of health-promoting
whole grains. The American Heart Association recommends fish at least
twice a week. While an occasional swordfish meal can be a healthful choice,
women who may become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young
children should not eat Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, or Tilefish because
they contain high levels of mercury. Salmon or tilapia would be a good
substitute.

Food Cooperatives: Organic Before Organic Was Cool
Organic. What a loaded word these days. Along with the word green, the word organic can sound like a marketing strategy more than anything. But cooperatives were organic long before organic was cool, and we’re big believers that organic production delivers delicious food and promotes sustainable agriculture—two things that are important to both food producers and consumers. The modern story of organic farming in America began in the 1960s, a time of social re-examination. In agriculture, the movement was led by “back to the land” types who set out to build their own houses, grow their own food, and live life at the pace of the seasons. Many of these people had grown up in urban settings and had little experience in these things. That lack of tradition, combined with the philosophy that “natural is better,” contributed to the development of organic farming methods. Try the difference for yourself!
