Hello, welcome back to the Hi Arbor, coming to you from the MailStation because of a situation of transition with computers. Today is the Great American Meatout so give today to the animals and get all your food from plant sources. And what difficult times these are for humans, too. To relax try pouring hot water over a tea bag in a cup, then enjoying the aroma of the steeping tea.
For now please write to me at ryvang@mymailstation.com. The next issue of the Hi Arbor will be sent on April 17, 2003.
All of you take care, Roxanne 

GARLIC WITH ROSEMARY OIL

For Christmas my sister and brother-in-law gave me some wonderful garlic with rosemary oil from Bittersweet Herb Farm (TM), Shelburne MA 01370.
Here is a recipe that came with the oil:

INDIAN DIPPING SAUCE

Place Garlic with Rosemary Oil in a small dish. Add a dash of balsamic vinegar and whole cloves of roasted garlic. Serve with crusted bread for dipping.


I found the following chutney recipe inside the top flap of a Celestial Seasonings peppermint tea box. Celestial Seasoning teas are easy to find in both the supermarket and natural food stores.

CINNAMON APPLE CHUTNEY

6 Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice tea bags
2 cups water
6 cups chopped apples (no need to peel or core) [I offer 
that the apples should be cored]
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 chopped walnuts [I think they mean 1/2 cup]
other dried fruit or nuts that sound good (optional)

Place Cinnamon Apple Spice tea bags in a heavy pan, add water and bring to a boil. Steep over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove and gently squeeze tea bags over pot, then discard.
Add chopped apples and a dried fruit and nuts to pot. Simmer everything over low heat for at least 1 hour or as long as all day. Chutney should be thick and chunky.
