I hadn't really tasted a difference between pasture raised eggs and store bought, except they seemed prettier and "feel" richer, until I made pancakes.

I can't eat pancakes made with pasture raised eggs; it just makes them well too eggy. Has anyone else experienced this?

would this method work with sweet potato fries?

Both my husband and I enjoyed watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution and the SE comments were a great addition. Most of the time my husband wouldn't fully watch it because we were having discussions about what was going on as we watched it, similar to the type of discussions I like reading on this website.

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution was definitely about the spectacle, without it he wouldn't have a producer and he wouldn't have a show that non-PBS type people would watch. Not to mention he's up against a difficult system to change. USDA surplus food is what makes school lunches cheap and "on budget," and USDA rules are written for that system. Which is why Oliver needs to use spectacle to reach a wide audience to change a larger system than he can individually affect.

I only wish the series would have gone on longer and actually showed that his pilot project worked. As it stands it's not enough to convince the higher ups that a change is both possible and worth the effort.

I also wish that the Obamas would send their kids to public schools and get healthy food into the public schools rather than sending their kids to a private school that already has healthy food. My husband on the other hand would do the same thing as the Obamas and send our future kids to the better private school if we had the money. I don't know which one of us is right, but I think something should be done.

Baked potato Mitch Hedberg style, cause I just like to have 'em ready when I feel like it. And I am convinced that the longer you bake a potato the better it gets.

You have to be pretty rich to go to Wash U. But I agree this ad is disrespectful to people seeking employment.

for those that missed the show it is available on Hulu. My husband and I enjoy watching, but find it difficult to watch without getting angry ourselves. I guess that is the goal the producers are trying to achieve. We are more angry about the current workers nay saying than the government regulations which drive Jamie crazy.

Aver's Pizza in Bloomington, IN has received an award for their pizza, Lambda Gyro Pie.

"Creamy Zaziki sauce and cheese are pledged with
beef & lamb Gyro, sliced Onion, fresh Tomato and
crumbled Feta cheese. A paddling of Oregano
completes the initiation. You’ll only get hazed if
you don’t try this pizza, we promise"

A little too much feta, but a nice pie.

What about liquid versions?

These missed out on Maid-rites. They're not quite hamburgers and not quite sloppy joes.

Most triumphant experience was showing my home economics teacher that butter in a pie crust is a good thing with a custard pie that had both butter and shortening (flaky and tender).

Another triumph: I just recently inherited my grandmother's stand mixer. Just a little memento of the times we spent together baking.

I also would give a thumbs up to DianaS's suggestion of La Croix, It takes a bit to get used to, more so than Emergen-C, but it's refreshing in different way. I think it's a bit expensive, though.
