Filipino food
a market favourite

If you have been to the Skeena
Valley Farmers Market, I am sure
-you are familiar with the wonder-
ful fragrant smell of Filipino food

’ cooking at the Vink’s stand.

John and Edith Vink discovered
how popular Filipino food was
when they and the Fil./Can. orga-
nization put on a BBQ during
Riverboat Days in 1990. The
BBQ:was a success, and they de-
cided to give Filipino food a try
at the farmers market,

Their stand’ is very busy and
people often are seen waiting in
line ups. But everyone scems to
think it is well worth the wait.

The Vinks serve noadle dishes,
BBQ chicken, pork and beef,

’ There are two different kinds of

‘meat and vegetable rolls. This

type of roll up food is known as

"Lunipia’ in the Asian culture,
‘Filipino food is similar to. In-
donesian food :but a; bit different. :

Fitipinos use a lot of pork and

> fish in-their cooking, simply be-

cause it is economical in the
“os Philippines.

“The recipes used by John and

‘Edith are ones banded down
through the family. Special

-marinades, herbs and spices are
- used. They use their own garden
- fresh vegetables. When they need

os

"extra they purchase produce at

the Farmers Market. The noodles

" used are Taiwanese and Viet-

namese — none are from the

"Philippines.

‘Eight Glasses A Day
Water Facts

How Do We Get
The “Lead” Out?

Now that this highty toxic metal has bean banned in paint, gasoline and
removed from solder {n food cans, the focus is on eliminating lead from

drinking water.

Very little lead occurs naturally in water. It gats there primarily from
plumbing that contains lead. Threa main plumbing sources are: ' ‘
4) Service pipes from water mains (Usually In homes billlt before 1940)

" 2) Lead solder used in plumbing

3) Most chrome plated faucets made from brass. (Some brass may

-contaln 3-8% lead! )

Soft or acidic water is likaly to carry mora lead as it tends to corrode

plumbing.

Recommendations to reduce lead contamination,

1) Don't drink water from your hottap

_ 2} Flush your tap for 30 saconds first thing In the morning

3) Let water run several seconds before drinking It

Safar yet, drink properly purified drinking water which has hed all

3 ‘contaminants such as lead removed!
