Where are all the vegetarians?
As popular as the “vegetarian lifestyle,” as it’s often called, is becoming, and as important as a sustainable world is for us to attain for our own very survival, you would think that there would be several vegetarian cooking shows. Not only that, but that all of the mainstream shows would also start offering up more ways to eat locally, with a smaller eco footprint, and definitely meatlessly—at least on several episodes a week.

Amish Friendship Bread is sort of a cross between a coffee cake and a chain letter. The bread is based on a sourdough starter, albeit one that is fed with flour, sugar, and milk instead of a "regular" starter fed only with flour and water. The idea behind Amish Friendship Bread is that you bake two loaves, give one to a friend, along with a portion of the starter. Frankly this is the kind of obligation-heavy gifting that I frown upon. I don't know many people who would... Read More
Long ago, when I was new to the internet, I fell in with a batch of Canadians.
No one is really sure how it happened, but this one particular role-playing/fanfic USENET newsgroup was at least 50% Canadian. Maybe more like 80% depending on who was active and who had gone away for a few months.At the time, I knew virtually nothing about Canada, much less about Canadians. But they schooled me, oh yes they did.

 | Tacos from Morpheme Addict |
Technically, a taco is a tortilla folded around a filling. The tortillas were traditionally made with corn or maize, but as imports and trade along the border between Mexico and the U.S. increased, wheat flour has also been used to make tortillas. The first English recipes in cookbooks started appearing in the early 1900s. They are quite different from the modern expectations of a taco; they are, in fact, more like quesadillas in that the tortilla is folded in half, and sealed with egg, before... Read More
Remember back in April, 1985 (yes, I know, you weren't even born then; bear with me) when the Coca-Cola company released "New Coke?" The "New" was partly a switch from using cane sugar as a sweetener to using high fructose corn syrup—the first change to the basic "secret recipe" since 1886. The idea, spurred by the popularity of Diet Coke, and of Pepsi, was to create a Coke that was closer to the taste of Diet Coke and Pepsi. There were cries of outrage, and eventually, even Coca-cola heard... Read More
Okay so to be perfectly clear I am not sure how great of a deal this actually is (I will explain in a bit) but for $9.99 and $6 shipping you can get three Pasta & Vegetable Deluxe Cooking Sets with Bonuses (electric Hand Blender, nylon Spoon & nylon Pasta Fork). That is three complete sets - not just one with the included bonuses for around $16! That price is certainly tempting and I am sure these would make interesting gifts... but I am not convinced this is the best deal ever - yet.... Read More

 | Is Wendy's chili fast food? from The Thinner Me Comments: 1 |
Fast food???Have you ever been on the run all day and not packed healthy food with you to eat. What happens when you get hungry? We all stop for fast, convenient, and sometimes cheap food. Do we stop for fast, convenient, cheap, and HEALTHY food? It's so easy to grab a burger, until we weigh the consequences. The secret to sticking to our health plan is remembering where we came from (over-weight and unhealthy) and where we're going (healthy and vibrant!).

 | Folgers: Never Again from Latte Talk Comments: 2 |
With the price of coffee constantly on the rise, I'm always on the look-out for a good bargain. Which is the only explanation I can offer for why I bought a two pound tub of Folgers coffee last week. It was a weak moment; forgive me.Priced at a ridiculously low $6 for two pounds and shipped in its own molded plastic tub with a lid, this Folgers coffee was stacked at the grocery store end cap. The lid boasts of "Aromaseal," which I imagine is supposed to invoke some kind of... Read More

Sazerac Rye is produced in two forms; the more generic but still not easy to find six year variety (the age is not listed on the bottle, but common repute is that's it's aged for six years) and a much rarer 18 year old Rye whiskey. Both are 90 proof, and traditional American Rye whiskey.

Starbucks is going to be adding a few flavored options the the relatively new "instant" Via line - including vanilla, mocha, caramel and cinnamon. These new flavors will be hitting stores this fall and all are derived from natural ingredients. This is a big leap forward for the Seattle coffee giant who has been taking increasing market share for "instant" coffee since the Via introduction. This is great news, right?

Simpler Times Lager is exclusively made for and sold by Trader Joe's. It's brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery, a brewery that's been making beer since 1845, in the heart of downtown Monroe, Wisconsin. It began life as the Blumer Brewery but then changed its name to The Joseph Huber Brewing Company in 1947. In 2006, the Mountain Crest Brewing Co. of Calgary, Alberta, Canada purchased the brewery, and some of its brands. The brewery subsequently was renamed Minhas Craft Brewery, and it is the second...

If you didn’t already know, mushrooms are a pretty decent food—aside from how they taste, I mean, which can be awesome in its own right. Pennsylvania makes the most mushrooms in the United States, and should be proud of it, considering that they are chock full of selenium, potassium, vitamin D, niacin, and many other nutrients. They’re fat and cholesterol free and low in calories, making them a great snack for dieters. They also make a great substitute for meat. With all of these reasons, how... Read More
One of my absolute favorite ice cream flavors is Breyers double-churned vanilla. I know it’s not the best to buy by any means, but the flavor is just incredible. I’m a big vanilla ice cream eater—unlike the favorite flavors of many people that I know, vanilla is pretty much the only ice cream flavor I love (with the occasional citrus or strawberry exception), and Breyers seems to make it best.
Unfortunately, I won’t be buying my favorite ice cream anytime soon—at least, not until Breyers... Read More
