Craft Link began in 1995 working with ethnic minorities- black Thai, Nung, and Ta Oi- in the remote Central Highlands of Vietnam. Working closely with the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi, Craft Link helps preserve the traditional tribal skills of weaving and embroidery. Craft Link also provides marketing, design, and management advice to street children in Hanoi who are learning stone carving skills, to handicapped girls learning to quilt, and to a group of physically-disabled woodcarvers from Hue. Ceramics come from Bat Trang, a small village near Hanoi, on the Red River, which has been famous for its ceramics since the 15th century. Over 90% of the villagers in Bat Trang earn a living from ceramics production.

Ingredients: butternut squash ( Whole foods and Trader Joe's carry pre-cut butternut squash. Make it easy for yourself and just use the 1 inch cubes sold there. That is unless you really want the french fry shape.) salt

Directions: Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel and de-seed your butternut squash. Then cut it up into french fry shapes. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Cover lightly with salt. Place tray in your pre-heated oven and bake for 40 minutes or so, flipping halfway through baking process. Fries are done when they are starting to brown on the edges and get crispy.

Ingredients: 1 large onion 1/4 cup original Egg Beaters 1/4 cup packaged breadcrumbs, or 1/2 cup crushed Fiber One (use a blender or food processor)** *Although you’ll only actually use a quarter cup of each, it may be easier to dunk the rings if you dole out a bit more Egg Beaters and breadcrumbs while preparing.

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut edges off onion, and remove outer layer. Cut onion into 1/2 inch wide slices, and separate into rings. Next, fill a small bowl (just large enough for onion rings to fit in) with Egg Beaters. Pour breadcrumbs onto a small dish. One by one, coat each ring in egg and then breadcrumbs (give each ring a shake after the egg bath). Place on an oven-safe baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping rings over about halfway through.
