Dinner Tonight: Kale and White Bean Pasta

Hmm, where does the vegetable broth come in? I assume it's in Step 2, where you're supposed to boil the veggies. But I just wanted to make sure...

Should Restaurants Charge for Filtered Water?

Millennium is one of my favorite restaurants in SF. The $1 charge kinda sucks, but I'm a devoted enough patron that it won't stop me from going there again.

But from what I understand, isn't the $1 also to offset the loss of revenue created by their not buying bottled waters anymore? I don't know if it's a situation where they're just trying to make a quick buck, it's more of a business making an environmentally sound choice, and then asking the consumers to eat the price of that choice.

How many do you read?

Not too many, but the very first food blog I got hooked on is The Girl Who Ate Everything -- SE's own Robyn Lee! *holla at Robyn*

Discovered SE through Robyn.. the only other blog I frequent is Eater SF, and the occasional visit at the Chowhound boards.

Any good recipes for Rice summer salad or a recipe for "insalata russo".

The NY Times ran an article last week on rice salads: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/30/dining/30mini.html?ref=dining

I tried the Japanese-Style Rice Salad recipe this weekend, and it was wonderful!

tinytophats: Yeah, you are right. The stock should go in on the second step. Thanks for pointing that out.

@Hillary, I agree that water should cost more, to encourage conservation. However, when you are drinking a glass of water because you are thirsty, its pretty impossible to be wasting water. Watering your lawn is a different story. Safe, clean drinking water should be free to everyone- or at least restaurants shouldn't be making a profit off of it, which Millenium obviously is.

@finewinedine, your comment made me chuckle! I would never rent a straw either...As for free water, I actually wrote a blog post about this last year.Many European countries charge for water, so why don't we? I always felt water was a basic need that should be free, but there might be a larger picture here called conservation.

Is there a non-filtered "free" option at Millennium?

Not that this establishment is part of this, but corporations have already begun taking over the worldwide potable water supply as though it were oil. We may soon be paying a steadily increasing amount for every single drop of water we use or consume.

I make a rice salad quite often...cucumbers, leave the peel on, remove the seeds, diced, diced tomatoes or sliced grape tomatoes, sliced scallions...dress with a vinaigrette...

VERY refreshing!

I have seen many recipes for russian salad in cookbooks from many different backgrounds, but never one with rice. Usually it's quite similar to potato salad, plus beets.

I had a polish version with apples once, it was perfect.
