Potatoes are coated in a spicy mixture of corn flour and Cajun seasoning then deep fried until crispy. Very simple and really crunchy. I like mine extra spicy so I soak my cut potatoes in hot sauce for a few seconds before shaking them in the dry batter.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes , cut into fries
- 1 cup corn flour
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal

Sweet and Sour Meatballs (Suan T'ien Niu Jou Po Lo La Tzu)
I grew up in Japan, and my Mother got this recipe from some Catholic nuns there during the 50's. It's been a family favorite ever since. If you're a vegetarian, try this sauce with vegetables only. It's wonderful that way also!
Essene Bread
Essene bread is made with sprouted wheat berries. This is a very old recipe — said to have been created in biblical days. It takes days to make, but your efforts and time will be rewarded with a couple of protein-rich, sweet, and moist loaves of bread. Traditionally, Essene bread was probably baked on hot rocks under scorching sunlight, but where I and most of us live, this is not possible. Baking at the oven temperatures which I suggest might destroy the sprout enzymes, but monitoring baking loaves for much longer than 2 hours is too long for me. Guaranteeing the preservation of the enzymes might require baking at a very low temperature for perhaps 4 hours. If you have the stamina, then go for it.
