Aran Spiosrai (Irish Spice Bread) Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
10 oz flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp mixed spice *
1/2 tsp ginger, ground
4 oz sugar, brown, light
2 oz citron, candied, chopped
6 oz raisins, plain or golden
4 oz butter
6 oz golden syrup **
1 large egg, beaten
4 tbsp milk
Recipe
Preparation
* Equal parts of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
** Lyons' Golden Syrup, carried in some fancy groceries. If you can't
find it, use Karo light corn syrup.
Sift the flour with the soda and baking powder, and the mixed spice
and ginger: then add the brown sugar, chopped peel and raisins: mix.
Make a well in the center. Melt the butter with the syrup over low
heat, then pour into the well in the mixture. Add the beaten egg and
milk and mix very well. Pour into a greased 2-lb loaf pan and bake
in a preheated oven at 325 F for 40-50 minutes, or until it tests
done. This bread will keep moist for several days, and actually
improves somewhat during this period.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
When deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
The argument against low carbohydrate diets
Its extremely popular, but it is really safe for you?
Moreover, it has been proposed that the kidneys can come under too much strain and that the consequential change in acid levels in the blood causes bone damage, but some of the medical studies testing the theory have found no evidence of deterioration of the kidneys or loss of bone.
Whilst there is anecdotal evidence that suggests that reduced carb diets can help eliminate fat, some of this anecdotal evidence has caused controversy between nutrition gurus, and their relative safety has been the cause of great debate
Carotenoid foods
(includes parsley, rose hip puree and sweet potatoes)
These orange and green foods are rich in alpha-carotene and beta-carotene thought by doctors to play a role in helping stop cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach and lesophagus. Most are low in calories, so should be included in every weight loss regime.
