Martha to the Rescue

This is a Martha Stewart recipe I think can be easily modified as I used one very large, (and unfortunately probably filled with injected salt water and hormones) chicken breast. The amount of tomato and tortillas can also be increased and used as filler. Mexican cheese to substitute the feta would be more traditional. It is simple and muy deliciosa.

Serves 4
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes in puree
2 canned chipotle chilies in adobo, finely chopped (about 1 heaping tablespoon), plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from same can)
Coarse salt
1 small cooked rotisserie chicken (about 1 3/4 pounds), skinned and shredded (about 4 cups), carcass discarded
1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, chopped, plus 4 sprigs for garnish
4 cups (about 3 ounces) tortilla chips
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1.75 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
Directions

Combine oil and garlic in a large (3-to-4-quart) saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and sizzling, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add tomatoes with their puree (breaking tomatoes up), chipotles and adobo, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; season with salt. Reduce heat and simmer rapidly until lightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
Add chicken and cook, stirring, until hot, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in chopped cilantro.
Divide chips among four shallow bowls; top with chicken mixture and sauce. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, sour cream, and feta. Serve.

Sell It Back 

How wonderful it would be to sell energy back to the electric company, as well as providing enough energy for your own household use. These photovoltaic systems cost anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple hundred thousand dollars. Some can be used for residential and small commercial buildings. Naturally you will recoup your investment better in sunny climates. Getting checks from the electric company should be incentive enough.

Many states offer rebates to help make the cost of systems like  the Kyocera  a mid-priced (at 24,000 dollars) grid tie-in system even more affordable. Energy costs are expected only to rise, making these grid tie-in systems more viable. 

 The initial costs are heavy. Beyond the initial unit, installation can range about five to seven thousand dollars.  Therefore in sunnier climes these are more acceptable and should recoup your investment in 10 years or so.  For more information see www.kyocerasolar.com/

 Biomimicry of Decomposition

The Biolytix System is an Australian product, a waste treatment tub, that changes raw sewage, wastewater, and food waste into high quality irrigation water. Invented by Dean Cameron it was inspired by decomposition of forest litter. The Biolytix filter mimics the intricate natural conditions that cause decomposition of debris on a river’s edge. It removes solid wastes from waste water. Then selected worms, beetles, and microscopic organisms convert the waste into humus, which filters the waste into garden irrigation, all without chemicals. It then produces irrigation water.

The Biolytix Research and Development team spent 11 years and $4M to create this waste water system that copys nature. It is like a septic system for home or business. For more information see www.biolytix.com.

Chicken Stew

This recipe serves six and has delicious cornmeal dumplings, again, all with only one breast of chicken.
Serves: 6

Skinless chicken is the basis of this delicious stew; cornmeal dumplings are made with low-fat milk.

INGREDIENTS
Stew

1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken meat, cut into 1″ cubes
1/2 cup onion, coarsely chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
Black pepper to taste
1 pinch ground cloves
1 bay leaf
3 cups water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 package frozen peas

Dumplings

1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup sifted whole wheat flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup low-fat (1%) milk
1 tablespoon olive oil

DIRECTIONS
Stew
1. Place chicken, onion, carrot, celery, salt, pepper, cloves, bay leaf, and water in a large saucepan. Heat to boiling; cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook about 1/2 hour or until chicken is tender.
2. Remove chicken and vegetables from broth. Strain broth.
3. Skim fat from broth; measure and, if necessary, add water to make 3 cups liquid.
4. Mix cornstarch with 1 cup cooled broth by shaking vigorously in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. 5. Pour into saucepan with remaining broth; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and is thickened.
6. Add basil, peas, and reserved vegetables to sauce; stir to combine.
7. Add chicken and heat slowly to boiling while preparing cornmeal dumplings.

Dumplings
1. Sift together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix together milk and oil. Add milk mixture all at once to dry ingredients; stir just enough to moisten flour and evenly distribute liquid. Dough will be soft.
3. Drop full tablespoons of dough on top of braised meat or stew. Cover tightly; heat to boiling. Reduce heat (do not lift cover) to simmering and steam about 20 minutes.
