Has anyone read the article "The True Cost of Shrimp" from the Solidarity Center? Gourmet.com mentioned it and I'm half-way through. Pretty startling. Makes me want to not eat shrimp unless I'm sure of where it comes from---even at restaurants. What do people think: is it rude to ask your waiter to find out who supplies the restaurants shrimp before you order it?
I usually cut that part away if I'm making something where the onions aren't the main ingredient (a soup or something) but I'd chuck the whole thing if you are using them raw or for caramelized onions.
Don't you just hate bad onions? I feel like you get a lot of them in the big mesh bags... I always wonder if it's worth the slightly cheaper price.
whitefish salad on crackers or oysters... really any light seafood app.
I don't really like Charlie, or any of the big brands, but I've finally found a canned (reasonably priced) tuna that I love---Whole Foods 365 brand.
Lentils. If you have access to a microwave, make a big back of whatever kind of lentils you like and bring some of that. It's substantial enough to pick you up in the middle of the work-day.
@wookie: So true. You've made my mind up for me---I'll always ask.
@renzata: Thankfully, I've successfully weaned myself off of any food chains where I wouldn't even need to ask where their food comes from because I know the answer is bad. It was pretty hard to stop ever going to a Burger King or something for the every-once in a while taste. It's such a guilty pleasure right?
Yum! I just made tuna tacos with a salsa verde and they were delicious... I like the addition of scallions in this recipe.
Yes! I can't wait to watch the giggling voice overs of the female judges. (They are probably saying something genius, but that wouldn't be "cute" enough.)
Actually, both. I'm planning to travel about this summer and would love advice for both restaurants, suppliers, or just general areas of crabby-goodness.
Ooohh...that's easy.... Godiva's rasberry filled chocolates, glass of champagne (okay, two glasses) and a long hot bath. Heaven.
On Friday evenings during spring and summer, family members and friends get together and have drinks and appetizers on our patio. My SIl brings the champagne to drink and everyone contributes to the meal. Always a wonderful time.
