of sugar, eventually you end up in the same position. hfcs can accelerate the issues, but don’t fool yourselves. i personally avoid HFCS because i know most corn is GMO, not for health reasons. the thought that you can eat...

training program that I went through just to staff your locations. Or the staff still goes through it but doesn’t care. I applaud your treatment of your staff - health bennies, tuition reimbursement, etc....but in exchange,...

worry about what people think of the messiness while I’m cooking – or while I’m cleaning up. And – I’m learning, after 11 years, to leave my husband alone in the kitchen to cook up his creations,...

I agree – although I know it happens I’d rather not see it. Whenever they show that I always wonder why they don’t make him put on a bandana like the rest of the chefs wear. Seems like a health code violation....

here, where old empty-nesters are cashing out their equity and living out their golden years elsewhere, and their offspring move not by choice, but by necessity because of housing prices. I think Pedro benefits from its somewhat...

I answered that question- and have not been in five years. Just don’t like it!! I do like Burger Kings- love their whopper Jr with cheese. But- due to health issues, I very rarely visit BK. I think it has been more than a...

needed ingredients back from around the globe. Health services are perhaps the best in world here. At some time I have to build the summer house on Wallowa Lake in Oregon. Living in a country where the food is not all that great...

For a local Ag benefit out in a cornfield, I made a layered vegetable terrine—bright green (spinach), orange (carrot), red (pepper), etc. Embedded in the top, I spelled out “FARM” with strips of roasted pepper...

Thanks for that info! I generally buy Grade B in health food stores and Whole Foods and at the farmer’s market. It used to be cheaper than Grade A, but I think it’s getting trendier in recent years and are about the...

Very wise words, soupkitten. I’m in the service industry (health-related) and have had people try to bargain with me. It doesn’t happen too often but I see it once in a while. I’m in total shock when somebody...

i’m sure the purveyor would be happy to reduce cost of goods sold by nixing containers. but talk to your health inspectors...them and the politicos. of course, pressure on purveyors will be conveyed to the politicos,...

I’ve been at about that time on a Sunday. They’d run out of sausage but had the brisket and ribs. This being a holiday weekend, you’ll hopefully benefit from people being out of town.

I generally haven’t voted, unless an idea comes up for something that fits into how I can cook right now. i have 2 small kids, work full time, and am a full time stay at home mom. That on top of being a health freak (kind...

OMG! Imagine, no foil! If you learned to love the Mexican food north of Tijuana and are looking to duplicate that, then, unless you like that quaint health food store inspired product put out by the California Burrito Co chain, I...
