HEALTHY HOME COOKING
Parsnips pack alot of punch:
� Parsnips are a root vegetable related to the
carrot. However, they have more than twice
the carbohydrate of carrots, and the glycemic
index of parsnips is higher than almost any
other food -- almost as high as glucose.
� Nutritionally, parsnips are low in calories, about
130 for a whole one 9" in length, and contain
no saturated fat or cholesterol. That same 9"
parsnip can boast a 6.4 grams of fiber, 93.1 mcg
of folic acid (that's nothing to sneeze at), 59.2
mg of calcium, and 46.4 mg of potassium, and
lesser amounts of vitamins B1, B2, B3, vitamin C,
iron, and zinc.
� When shopping for parsnips use the same
criteria as for carrots. Select only firm parsnips.
Those that are limp are not fresh. Choose them
small, medium, or large, but avoid those that
are overly large as they sometimes have a
woody core.

"
Lord, we pray for the power to be gentle;
the strength to be forgiving;
the patience to be understanding;
and the endurance to accept the consequences
of holding to what we believe to be right.
May we put our trust in the power of good to overcome evil
and the power of love to overcome hatred.
We pray for the vision to see and the faith to believe
in a world emancipated from violence,
a new world where fear shall no longer lead men
to commit injustice,
nor selfishness make them bring suffering to others.
Help us to devote our whole life and thought
and energy to the task of making peace,
praying always for the inspiration and the power
to fulfill the destiny for which we and all men were created.
"
