Ordering food and ingredients online
I use Zingerman's a lot, especially to send food care packages to my son. I also use Amazon, Penzey's, King Arthur's, Rancho Gordo (heritage beans) and other sites for ingredients that are hard to find or are in recipes with lots of unusual ingredients that would require driving to several stores.
Shipping can be expensive but a lot of places have flat rate shipping.
Foodisphere Erupts Over Paula Deen Diabetes Announcement
I had gestational diabetes, which of course made my risk for Type II higher. I was slender, physically active, no family history. After the baby was born, I was fine but I always reminded doctors of my history. At no time was I ever counseled to be careful about carbs, get regular exercise, or anything else which might have delayed the onset of Type II. This was before diabetes was in the news every single day. I was diagnosed years later.
I personally think Paula Deen looks like an opportunist and her blithe statements about being paid because "that's the way the world works" and always having preached moderation ring a little phony at this point. Anyone with diabetes has my sympathy - it's not a disease I would wish on my worst enemy - but I think she has made a mistake in the way she publicized this and has missed an opportunity to be a believable spokesperson.
Give us Feedback about Soda Stream/Good?/Bad?
We have a Soda Stream and use it constantly. I don't flavor the fizzy water but I do add a small amount of juice or freshly squeezed lemon or lime to it. I love the fizzies!
My son-in-law also has one and he does use the flavor concentrates. They have a couple bottles in the refrigerator all the time.

Last bite on earth:

I totally respect those who choose a vegetarian or vegan diet whatever their reason. However, being faced with food restrictions by fiat, not choice, seems to me to be a harder task. Due to recent medical issues, I can no longer have alcohol or grapefruit, have major restrictions on sodium and carbs, can only have limited lettuce and cruciferous veggies, have to watch protein intake - I call it the "eat whatever you want as long as it doesn't taste good" diet. An exaggeration, no doubt, and I have found lots of tasty food to replace things I used to enjoy, but it makes planning meals a much more difficult exercise. If I eliminated dairy, fish and meat, it would be even tougher.
