Don’t forget to eat your vegetables!

I often write that one of the food groups that we all need to be eating more of is the vegetable group. I don't see or hear restaurant ads promoting vegetables and rarely do I hear cooks talking about their favorite vegetable recipe. Since we all need to eat more vegetables, we need to have as much excitement about preparing vegetables in tasty, eye-appealing ways as we have with our favorite desserts. I truly believe this is possible; we just have to work on this and change some thinking. The American vegetable marketplace has expanded dramatically in our local grocery stores. Today's marketplace stocks a much greater variety of vegetables than consumers could have imagined just ten years ago. The new vegetable marketplace owes it breadth in part to a curiosity of other cuisines, more cultures living in America, more travel to other countries and the fast way that food can be brought to America. Most of our grocery stores now provide a wide assortment

NTPSCO reminds: Call before you dig

MERRILLVILLE - During summer, outdoor digging and construction projects are in full swing. To help stay safe, NIPSCO encourages its customers, businesses and local communities to use the Indiana 811 call-before-you-dig phone number to help locate underground utility lines two days before any digging project begins. This number is toll-free and there is no cost to have the underground Unes marked for those who are planning to dig. Calling 811 is required by law, and a damage that occurs without such a call can result in civil penalties even to homeowners. Last year, NIPSCO recorded 860 instances, or nearly two-and-a-half damages a day, where an underground natural gas pipeline was unintentionally struck by a third-party contractor, homeown-

of Chinese vegetables, and Latin chilies in addition to more varieties of mushrooms. Depending on die time of year there are more varieties of egg plants, a much larger variety of dark green lettuces and just more vegetables of all colors, tastes and textures for our cooking and eating enjoyment. Farmers and growers have been aided by progressive seed companies and have taken interest in supplying markets, and restaurants with formerly hard to find vegetables. Another factor affecting the growth of the marketplace is the increased interest in healthy eating. These recent developments provide many opportunities and delights for the curious cooks. Smaller or younger vegetables include both special miniature varieties of common vegetables and regular varieties picked when they are immature. The fully mature miniatures add natural sweetness and a whimsical touch to a dish; regular varieties harvested when young may not have as much flavor.

er or other outside party a potentially dangerous accident that is avoidable. "Digging blindly without knowing what's underground is like driving down the road with your eyes closed, " said Mike Finissi, chief operating officer for NIPSCO. "So, no matter if it's a homeowner doing digging work in their yard, or if it's a hired contractor beginning a large project, we want everyone to stay safe by calling 811 before digging." Of the 860 third-party hits recorded last year, 138 occurred in the South Bend, Elkhart and Goshen area, 219 occurred in northwest Indiana, 183 took place in the Ft. Wayne ar?a and the remaining hits were recorded in the company's remaining central and southern service areas. The number one cause of all damages is failing to make the call

Purdua Extension Elkhart County By Mary Ann Lienhart Cross Extension Educator, Consumer Family Science In many cuisines vegetables take center stage. In China vegetables stir-fries are embellished with small amounts of meat rather than the reverse. Around the world, vegetables are appreciated at all times of the day from breakfast through dessert. Ethiopians often eat a breakfast of boiled beans flavored with onions and tomatoes; the English enjoy baked or stewed tomatoes in the morning, and the American breakfast in a restaurant is not complete without fried potatoes. At the other end of the day are vegetable-based dessert, ranging from carrot cake and sweet potato pie to sugar dusted Italian squash blossoms fritters.

to 811 to have underground lines marked before digging. However, the amount of dig-ins has progressively declined in the past five years as NIPSCO and Indiana 811 nave worked to educate both individuals and contractors on the importance of damage prevention and using the 811 call before digging number through annual media campaigns and community events, direct mailings to excavators regarding safe digging practices and regular damage prevention meetings held across NIPSCO's service area. There are nearly 19 million miles of underground gas, electric, communications, water and sewer lines across the country. Digging without knowing the approximate location of underground utilities increases the likelihood of an incident, which can cause serious injuries, service disruptions and

Vegetables are served in salad, casseroles, and sautes, stir-fry's, stews, braised dishes, pickles, pasta, soups and side dishes. Some vegetables are so highly prized when they come into season they are often served as a separate course: steamed asparagus, sautled wild mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, hot grilled sweet com, launching a meal in simple but memorable style. Other vegetables are usually given a support role: onions and garlic for example, are appreciated for the aromatic qualities they lend to other dishes as they are served on their own. The point to all of this writing about vegetables is that we need to prepare more of them in tasty, healthy ways so our families eat more vegetables. Here is a recipe to try: BROCCOLI PEANUT STIR-FRY 3 cups cooked brown rice 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 cup sliced mushrooms

repair costs. Calling 811 is free and easy. Once a call is made, a professional utility line locator will visit the dig site to mark the approximate location of underground utility lines with paint or flags.. After the site has been accurately marked, it is safe to begin digging carefully around the marked areas. Whether planting trees, building a deck, installing a mailbox or any other project that involves digging, NIPSCO and Indiana 811 offers the following recommendations for a busy digging season: • Always call 811 before digging, regardless of the depth or familiarity with the property. • Tell neighbors, co-workers, family and friends about 811 if they discuss their plans for an outdoor home improvement project with you. • Plan ahead
