Rush Limbaugh's tea--Two if by Tea

@Kaymad: I just checked, and a portion of the proceeds go to charity. Not 100%.

Rush Limbaugh's tea--Two if by Tea

@Leper: It may be more fun to imagine me as a raging man on a fixie with giant plugs in my ears, but I'm actually just a woman who was a year-round bike commuter for many years :-) @Kaymad, while the Two if by Tea cause may be charitable, I find your comparison to Paul Newman odd, simply because I think the general public knew/knows nothing of Newman's political leanings. Limbaugh, on the other hand, is a very devisive figure. I'll leave it at that.

Rush Limbaugh's tea--Two if by Tea

I complained to the grocery store that I know carries this beverage. I find it pretty disgusting that they would help him line his coffers.

Out of the Express Line if you have more than 10 items, please!

Many years ago, my mother was at the grocery store and incidentally, she was wearing a cast for a broken wrist. The "12 items or less" clerk called her over to his lane bacause no one else was waiting. An elderly gentleman, really classy and a true grammar scholar, entered the line behind her and questioned why she was in the 12 minus lane when so clearly she had a full cart. She patiently explained that the clerk had invited her to that particular lane. His response? "You want your other arm broke, lady?"

The Vegan Experience, Day 24: Miracle Ingredients and New Pantry Staples

As far as olive oil goes, I cannot get enough of Arbequina OO right now. It has such a lovely, grassy flavor.

Cook the Book: 'Bi-Rite Market's Eat Good Food'

We have an amazing local chain here in Portland, OR, called New Seasons. It really takes a toll on the wallet, though. One of my favorite things about New Seasons is the fact that herbs are available for purchase by the ounce. Awesome.

Last meal of 2011?

My family and I are making Kenji's prime rib, smashed potatoes with herbed goat cheese, roasted brussels sprouts, mixed greens with roasted beets, feta, and candied nuts, Jim Lahey's no-knead bread, and Mozza's butterscotch budino. Preparations are underway!

Kenji's perfect Prime Rib, for sure. I've made it three times, and that's saying a lot considering the price of prime rib!
