NBA Legend John Salley and Salt & Pepper News Correspondent Chef Lauren Von Der Pool Take Fight for Healthy School Lunches to Capitol Hill
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Four-time NBA champion John Salley and Chef Lauren Von Der Pool will ask members of Congress next Wednesday to provide more fruits and vegetables to our nation's students. Von Der Pool will serve the congressmen some of her vegetarian, kid-friendly lunches that she hopes will become a part of America's school menus. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and some DC students will also be on hand to talk about the benefits of more nutritious food options. PCRM says healthy school lunches will reduce the nation's health care costs.
The Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act, which regulates national school breakfasts and lunches, is up for congressional review soon.
Wednesday's event with Salley and Von Der Pool, at the Rayburn House Office Building, from 10:30 a.m. to noon, is free and open to the public. Von Der Pool will offer her vegetarian samples for tasting.

Culinary Tips of the Week
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brian Reeve, home cook
Scoop ice cream like a pro--Run hot water over a metal scoop for a few seconds, then dry it off with a towel. The warm metal scooper will glide easily as you scoop out the ice cream. Use the same method for an ice cream cake, but instead of a scoop, run hot water over a metal knife for a few seconds, dry it off, then cut your cake.

Chef "Tee" Terrell Danley, restaurant owner/culinary instructor
Add citrus fruit flavor--Use the zest of citrus fruit to add flavor to food and drinks. Zest is the outer, colored part of the peel. The inner white part, called the rind, is bitter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chef Lauren Von Der Pool, vegan/raw food cuisine expert
Honey--A natural sweetener and antiseptic, rich in essential vitamins and minerals that promotes healing. You can use it as a salve for burns and wounds. Also, apply honey to your skin as a mask like the ancient Egyptians did to beautify your skin. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used as a white sugar substitute. For example, add honey to tea, oatmeal, smoothies and baked goods.
