Salsa primera...
First of this summer that is. Roasted tomatillos, lime, garlic, onion, cilantro, tabasco and serrano chiles and salt. It’s breakfast, lunch and dinner for me in the summer. With eggs in the morning, with corn chips or quesadilla for lunch and chile verde for dinner. Mmmm.

pasta for my baby
pappardelle with ribbons of boiled ham, sauteed wild mushrooms, with lashes of browned butter, fresh grated parmesan and sea salt. Yum.

salmon “hash” for dinner
Grilled fish, steamed potatoes, steamed green beans, kalamata olives, and pesto. It was a hit, although next time I will try a mustard vinaigrette instead of the pesto.

The ethanol controversy
Food or fuel?
August 18, 2008
Once lauded as a viable alternative fuel, corn-derived ethanol has become reviled as an industrial evil driving up the price of crops, land, and food. But how nasty is it? The Portland Tribune tries to sort it all out with a look at the charges against ethanol, including whether ethanol raises food prices, reduces greenhouse-gas emissions, and if it’s even a good idea at all.
Bipartisan food reform
Conservatives embrace better food
August 15, 2008
The magazine The American Conservative recently put food reform on its cover, arguing that — despite what you might think of all those liberal hippies shopping at farmers’ markets and growing their own food — fixing our food system is really a conservative cause. And why not? After all, the better-food movement is essentially traditionalist, calling for old ways over new ways, heritage foods over GMO grub, and independent food production over centralized industry. Quibbles? The American Conservative doesn’t care much about food justice.
Prince Charles says no to GMO
The royal activist at work again
August 15, 2008
Britain’s Prince Charles has long been an advocate of organic food. Now he’s taking on GMO (genetically modified organism) food. Chaz told the Telegraph that, in his opinion, GMO food is a “gigantic experiment I think with nature and the whole of humanity which has gone seriously wrong.” See the Prince give the straight dope on the Telegraph’s video of him, too.

Find extra tidbits online
August 14, 2008
Print dailies are gradually adding blogging to their reporters’ job descriptions. The New York Times has Mark Bittman’s Bitten blog, the Los Angeles Times has the Daily Dish, and the Seattle Times has Nancy Leson’s All You Can Eat, among others. These are all good things, as Martha would say. But we want to give kudos to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer’s Secret Ingredients blog. Written by Andrew Schneider, the blog covers “public health and worker safety issues,” which means lots of coverage of food recalls, government agencies mucking about with our food, and health issues. Check it out.
