Epicurious has a pocket guide on how to cut the poison in your diet.

Jones Soda Co., looking for a marketing advantage, is making the switch to pure cane sugar from high fructose corn syrup as a soda sweetener.

"It's better for you, it's better-tasting and, overall, it's better for the environment," Peter van Stolk, the company's chief executive officer, said Tuesday.

Seattle-based Jones, which makes root beer, cream soda and quirky drinks with flavors such as turkey and gravy, will sell 12-ounce canned sodas with pure cane sugar after Jan. 1. All of the company's products will make the switch by mid-2007, van Stolk said.

Ingredients

• 1 to 1 1/2 lbs. (approx. 3 cups) of white-skinned potatoes
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup flour
• approx. 1 cup flour, plus extra for rolling

Minimum-required Tools

• large pot for cooking potatoes
• measuring cup and spoons
• mixing bowl and spoon
• single- or double-cut rolling pin and cloth cover
• dish towels or other linens to cool the lefse between
• lefse grill or electric griddle

Directions

1. Peel potatoes, remove any eyes, cut into evenly sized pieces. Cook in water until tender. Drain well. Rice or mash until lump free. Measure 3 cups of potatoes. Stir in oil, sugar, and salt. Leave uncovered until cool. Chill thoroughly.
2. Just before frying, stir in one cup flour; if added too soon, potato lefse dough will be spongy and too hard to roll. Using a small amount of dough (1/4 cup makes 1 large lefse), roll it onto a pastry cloth or board using a cloth-covered rolling pin. Flour the pastry cloth or board and covered rolling pin well.
3. Fry on an ungreased griddle heated to 500°F until small bumps appear and it has light brown spots. If using an electric frying pan, use the highest setting. Turn the lefse. When second side is lightly browned, place between folds of a towel to cool. When cooled, wrap the Norwegian lefse tightly and store in a refrigerator (or freezer, if it is to be kept a long time).
