Have an Ooffoo Christmas! This Christmas you can make ethical decisions in almost every area of how you might choose to celebrate. We've pulled together some fantastic articles from Ooffoo.com covering a wide range of Chrismassy themes to help you have as ethical a Christmas as you wish. Make a Snow Shaker from a Jar! Tanya Mo's tips on how to reuse jars are inspiring. Here's just one of her tips on how to reuse a jar to make a snow globe. Use a wide mouth jar with a lid. Use a waterproof super glue to stick small plastic or glass characters on to the inside of the lid and add miniature charms or objects that suit your story – add glitter, small beads or evencrushed egg shells. When you fill the jar, use half water/ half glycerine to make the snow fall slowly (or mineral oil instead to make the fall even slower). Seal the jar with a watertight sealer that you will find in a hardware store and leave to stand for at least 16 hours or as the instructions require. When it’s ready, shake it up and you’ll love to watch your winter story come to life! Paint the one half side with a blue or green paint so that you can see the coloured background from the other side of the jar.

Get Crafty! Maddy has submitted a brilliant article on how to start a craft box. So before you start all the wrapping, card-making and decoration preparation get your box ready to keep all your left over wrap, ribbons, favourite cards and tinsel in one convenient place ready to get creative next year. To find out all of Maddy's Tips visit: www.ooffoo.com/craftbox

Paper Chains Here's a great tip from Ms. L Hodgson, "The last bits of wrapping paper, christmassy or otherwise, make great paper chains - cut into strips about 5cm wide by 15 - 20 cm long and glued around each other in a chain, they look really festive! Ours lasted for several years before they got too squashed."

Plastic Bags for Gift Wrap Anna Hargraves gives us a great tip on how to reuse old plastic bags to make creative gift wrap. Visit www. ooffoo.com/giftwrap for more info.

Calendars, Decorations, Cards & Wrap The potential for waste when it comes to decorations and Advent calendars is obviously high so these articles by Rachelle Strauss looking at various options are timely and jam packed with great ideas.

Whilst many of us like sprouts, plenty of us don't, so we thought it would be worth a shot to crack a cook's conundrum: to make the humble sprout sought after. We could only feature one recipe and some tips below so do check out ooffoo.com for even more including the recipes for stir fry sprouts, serving them with apple, eating them raw in a salad and even serving them Latino style! And it would be great if you could be sure to share your tips and recipes with the community whilst you are there. 2. Wash the sprouts and remove any yellowing leaves. 3. If you think there might be bugs in your sprouts, soak them in warm, salted water for 10 minutes. This brings the bugs out...

Garlic & Almond Creamy Brussels Sprouts Frying Brussel Sprouts with a little garlic and then dressing them with cream and almonds puts a whole new slant on the UK's least favourite vegetable. It's an easy recipe and goes well with a traditional Sunday lunch. The key is not to over-cook the sprouts. They should be just soft, still with a little crunch. When can I cook this? January, February, March, December. Ingredients Serves 4 as a side dish. Up to 30 Brussel sprouts 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cloves garlic 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, grated finely 100ml double cream (or soya cream) salt and pepper to taste Handful of flaked almonds Method 1. Remove sprouts from their stem. 46 NC WINTER 2009.indd 41

4. Rinse well before cooking. Slice the sprouts in half and dry them thoroughly. 5. Peel and crush the garlic (or chop finely). 6. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the garlic. Cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes, until soft. Don't let the garlic burn or it can become bitter. 7. Add the sprouts and stir well. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 8. When the sprouts are just softened, add the almonds, grated nutmeg, cream, salt and pepper. Mix well. Delicious with roast potatoes as part of a Sunday lunch.

Some lesser known facts about Brussels... 1. They were cultivated in Belgium from cabbages. Hence the name! 2. They’re an excellent source of Vitamin C, with just 6 lightly cooked sprouts containing an adult’s recommended daily allowance. They’re also packed with Vitamin D and folic acid, which are both common deficiencies in our modern diet. 3. If cooked correctly, they should have a pleasant, nutty flavour. 4. Like cauliflower, it’s the sulphur released during cooking that gives Brussels Sprouts their infamous smell. So the less time you cook them for, the less they’ll stink! How To Choose If you have the option, get your sprouts still on the stalk, because they’ll keep for longer. If you’ve got them already off the stalk, choose sprouts that still feel firm, with as little yellowing of the outer leaves as possible.

Time From Cupboard-To-Table -15mins.

How To Store

Notes & Variations Over-cooking creates slimey sprouts, that's why it's important to cut the sprouts in half for this recipe. They should be soft, with plenty of texture and a little crunch.

They keep for longer if still on the stalk - up to 10 days in the fridge. If already detached from the stalk, they’ll keep for about 5 days in the salad drawer of your fridge.

Rachelle Strauss offers some great advice for Ethical Food at Christmas: One of the most eco friendly things we can do this Christmas is not to waste food. It is difficult to plan how much you might need, especially if you have people dropping in over the Christmas season, but think back to past years and look at the areas where you might have gone overboard and resorted to dumping food. Read more at: www.ooffoo.com/ethicalxmasfood

2. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, blanch the courgette for 30 seconds and then refresh under cold water. 3. Put the cream cheese, artichokes, tomatoes and lemon juice into a food processor and blend until smooth, then add the chives. 4. Lay the courgette strips flat and spread a tsp of the pate on top. Then roll up gently and stand upright. Garnish with extra chives and thin strips of sun dried tomatoes.

Seasonal Affective Disorder Many of us experience feelings of tiredness and lethargy during the long winter months. In more extreme cases people can also experience sleep disorders, mood swings and depression. This condition is referred to as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It has been shown that bright light therapy is a highly effective form of treatment for the symptoms of SAD.

Classic Bodyclock with Radio z Research has shown that using a dawn simulator (or Bodyclock) can significantly reduce the severity of SAD symptoms or Winter Blues as it has been shown that using a Bodyclock improves mood, energy, productivity and quality of sleep and awakening. Many SAD sufferers use both a Bodyclock and a lightbox to optimise their treatment. Bodyclocks work on the principle that we evolved to wake up with the sunrise and that our circadian rhythms respond to a realistic imitation of sunrise by accelerating the wake-up process. Research also indicates that it’s important for the light to come on very gradually, so simply having a light on a timer switch, or using an alarm clock with light will not have the same effect. Made by Europe’s leading specialist in light therapy, our Lumie Classic Bodyclock with radio has been specifically developed to help alleviate Winter Blues symptoms by regulating the sleep/wake pattern. With a scientifically calculated gradual sunrise you can wake naturally in the morning and with its sunset feature, the light can be set to slowly

fade to darkness, which is ideal for shift workers and young children. As well as this the Lumie Classic has other special features: • Optional back-up beeper for reassurance • Dimmable bedside light for reading or soft lighting • 30 Minute sunrise and sunset • Classic clock face • FM/AM clock radio • Sunray light effect 14423 Classic Bodyclock with Radio (17x16x14cm) £79.95 714691 Replacement Bulb for Bodyclock £5.95 “Remarkably effective, 9/10” – Daily Express “Surprisingly – it works! It has made my early morning winter rising 100% easier!” – CK Note: Bodyclocks use a special ‘sunshine neodymium’ bulb, but the level of light is the same as a normal light bulb so they are not a subsitute for a lightbox. With a lightbox, it’s the sheer brightness of the light that affects brain chemistry, whereas with Bodyclocks it’s the way the light works that has a therapeutic effect.

Bright Light Therapy Lamp z This exceptionally high quality bright light therapy lamp has been designed and tested in Finland, one of the world’s leading countries in bright light research. Whilst providing the optimum level of bright light, this lamp’s low surface luminosity, evenly distributed flicker free light and UV filtering shade is kind to your eyes too. The harmonious round design also helps to create a warm feeling of the sun and summer. If symptoms are severe, please consult your doctor. 14017 Sunshine Simulator (Dia. 40cm, D12cm) £175.00 14018 Replacement Fluorescent Tube (55 watt, lasts on average 10,000 hours)

Eternally elegant accessories, these beautiful scarves in Prussian Blue and Cassis are made in India using traditional hand spinning and weaving skills passed down through the generations to rural craftspeople, who are paid a fair wage for their talents, please state colour when ordering. 203729 Silk Scarves* (L150cm x W34cm) £24.95

Stylish Felt* and Cord Shoulder Bags z These smart, stylish bags with internal zipped compartment and mobile phone holder are made by a truly remarkable fair trade company based in Northern Vietnam. It’s a privately owned company currently employing 45 people, all staff members are over 18 years old and are paid 4 times the national minimum wage. Almost all of the artisans who now work there were originally rice farmers earning a subsistent, irregular and inconsistent wage. Working from dawn until dusk the farmers were unable to earn enough money to feed their families and send their children to school. Working as a seamstress or in quality control, for example, they can now earn on average $100 per month, which will allow the family to have a reasonable standard of living. 18758 Pink Felt Emily Bag* (H19 x W26 x D11cm) £32.95 203586 Chocolate Cord Emily Bag (H19 x W26 x D11cm) £32.95

The fabric can then be untied and retied again to add other colours and patterns onto the material in different areas.
