1 juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 salt and pepper
1 cup butter
1/2 lb bacon, diced
5 small yellow onions
3/4 cup irish whisky

Recipe
Preparation
Cut up capon as for fricassee. Dip pieces into lemon juice and then
into 3 tablespoons flour, seasoned with salt and pepper. Brown in
butter. Add bacon and small yellow onions; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon
flour, and brown again. Flame capon with Irish whisky. Add salt,
pepper, garlic, and allspice. Cover with wine and simmer gently for
60 minutes or until done.
For the sauce make a broth with the neck, feet, and giblets. Strain
off the liquor from the bird and add to the broth. Reduce to half by
rapid boiling. Thicken with raw egg yolks beaten with cream; reheat
but do not boil after adding egg.
Serve capon in a dish garnished with the pearl onions and mushrooms,
each cooked separately in water and lemon juice. Pour part of the
sauce over the capon and serve the remainder separately. Makes 8 to
10 servings. Source: Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some reduced carb diet pointers:
* Use splenda instead of sugar.
Many recipes that need sugar can be changed to make use of a sugar replacement instead. It is not exactly the same so you will need to do a bit of trial and error and it might not work for every dish, but it does a decent job most of the time.
The brassicas, Healthy superfoods that aid Weight loss
(includes Kale, Lettuce, Mustard greens and Rutabaga)
Altthough not always popular with children, these vegetables are jam-packed with vitamins (including vitamin c and folate), minerals (selenium and potassium, for example), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents, isothiocyanates, and indole-3-carbinol.
Over and above their numerous other beneficial effects, the isothiocyanates in these are thought by experts to significantly lower the risk of getting cancer.
