Mmm. I think I want to try the above granny smith recipe!

I just made a coleslaw (red cabbage, green cabbage, shredded carrots and fennel) with a mayo (veganaise in our house), rice vinegar, and a little sugar dressing. It was tasty!

Morocco, Pakistan and Thailand, because all three cultures drink Green Tea, but eat different food. An interesting theme IMHO.

Always make them from scratch. The boxed AFCs have weird ingredients in them, I did that once and was severely disappointed. Easy to make. Never had one fail. Have used the recipe in the KAF book and Joy of Cooking. My mom uses the Betty Crocker recipe. They are all pretty much the same.

Haha. I hope that Jerry prevails on this one, I mean how many recipes are really truly unique? I think Sneaky Chef is just mad, because Ms. Seinfeld took a similar idea, spiced it up, made it look great, and generally did a better job. I've compared a handful of the recipes and some are similar, but really, how different can you get for a recipe of brownies? This first time I heard of sneaking pureed veggies into a recipe was at least 3 years ago, and it wasn't from the Sneaky Chef. I am sure she wasn't the first person to ever come up with this idea, so how can she fault Jessica Seinfeld for writing her own book?

I am confused. I thought they already called drinks skinny and have for years? "Skinny" (nonfat milk + sugar free syrup if ordered), "why bother" (skinny + decaf), "half calf" (1/2 caffeinated, 1/2 decalf), also known as "schizo," which could potentially be insulting. Personally, I find these cutesy names entertaining and find that they add to the coffee drinking culture. Silly barista worrying about being politically correct in regards to how one orders coffee. I am sure there are even other names out there and there should be little reason to take offense, what is the point of life if we don't live a little and enjoy it?

MaryResta, they've been selling it at the Costco's in Colorado since early this summer...we are awfully close to Texas, but from the posts above, I am pretty sure they are selling it at more locations. Costco employees are usually very good, but I think the one you worked with didn't give you the complete story. I'd just request it with one of their forms and get your friends to do the same. It just might show up at your local warehouse. Also, in Colorado I've found it at Mexican grocery stores, not sure if you have those in NJ, but it might be worth a try. It is just very spendy outside of Costco.

I've made several recipes from her website and dvds. Most recently I made a mustard and herb crusted chicken, and a beef and barley soup. Her recipes always seem to work, and I have been coveting a Martha Cookbook for some time!

Zero Waste: Neighborhood composting and compostable containers. There are communities (i.e. Sebastapol, CA) where there is curbside composting and industrial composters get to the right temperature to efficiently compost the corn ware that many places (where I live) now use. Our local farmers market is zero waste in the summer.

Neither...we start on the stove to melt the butter, cook the onions and mix in the herbs, but then we move it to the oven to bake and get crispy on-top!
