Dear Whole Foods,

Dear Whole Foods,
Please stock Florida-grown produce in your Florida stores. California organic produce still tastes of nothing since it was picked well before it was ripe.

Cook the Book: 'Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics'

Everyone always requests my enchiladas when we gather at my house.

Hurricane Preparedness

We go about 10 miles south to my in-laws' house. They have a whole-house generator (father-in-law is an electrician), two refrigerators stuffed full of food, an ice machine, and every type of alcohol imaginable. I love my in-laws.

Is it Dangerous to Eat Shellfish in the Summer?

I think the line "commercial shellfish aren't any more likely to be toxic in the summer" says it all.

Cook the Book: Serves One

My favorite is a tomato sandwich with onion and a slice of provolone.

What 'good' food advice doesn't 'work' for you...

@wookie--I didn't know you could compost in a hole either! I found this article about it: http://www.lewisgardens.com/compost.htm

Salmonella Scare Hits the Big Time

I don't think it is particularly McDonalds that is the most hated. They just happen to have the largest share of fast food out there and tend to get picked on more for it. Many people eat there and are fine with it. I happen to not be one of those people. I don't eat fast food because I don't really see the point of it. It isn't exactly "food", more food-shaped stuff made from mostly processed products (for the most part). I'm not advocating everyone eating gourmet food either, I just think that there are so many better choices out there. I'm not trying to be argumentative, just representing another opinion.

Salmonella Scare Hits the Big Time

I happen to agree with Simon, and I don't feel like I'm patting myself on the back for it. It really has nothing to do with homeschooling or riding in a car. The food is tasteless (except for salt and grease), and is partly to blame for our country's obesity problem. I'm not choosing to "deprive myself" by not eating at McDonalds. I have more respect for myself than that.

What lunch box did you have - what was in it?

I had the Partridge Family lunch box just like this one: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Hollow/4131/partr.gif
I would always get a pb&j on whole wheat and an apple. Sometimes mom would cut up the apple for me, but she'd put lemon juice on it so it wouldn't turn brown. I'd always suck the lemon juice off the apple slices and then eat them.

Good quality extra virgin olive oil

Surprisingly, Goya olive oil is pretty good (for a cheaper, grocery store olive oil). I use it to cook with, but have not tried it in salad dressings. I also recommend changing vinegars. Rice vinegar is really light and not all that vinegar-y to me.

Comfort Foods?

My mom's poached eggs. I've tried to make them and I fail. You have to have a piece of lightly buttered toast to tear up into little chunks and put it in the mashed up salted eggs. Yum. Now I want that for dinner.

What do you bring to lunch to eat at your desk?

Nothing on this planet smells as bad as tuna salad, so I'd avoid taking that in the office if at all possible.

Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook

Ellen. We'd go to a local diner and eat whatever the special was for that day.

Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels

My favorite cornbread is the stuff my Mom makes. Must get that recipe!
