The big news story of the past couple weeks has been the 109 cases of listeria that have killed 21 people so far. Death by cantaloupe, unbelievable. I could start talking about the state of food safety in general, but that’s already been done here, here and here. In other depressing news, according to a [...]
This week was sort of nuts for me, personally. It seems that the powers that be decided that, even it was a 4 day work week, the same number of things needed to happen as do in a 5 day work week. So, there were 3 after school meetings and I had to finalize grades [...]
Ooof…what a week! I told you I’d be blogging less after starting my new job, but I didn’t want it to be this much less! Getting settled in at work has meant lots of meetings, plus a couple non-school appointments which made for insanity. Also, Brian and I may be a little bit over-committed at [...]
Few things in the world are making me as annoyed as the BP Oil Spill. I know I’m not alone in this, and I suspect most of you are well aware of what’s been going on. If not, this video from Time provides a pretty good overview. The oil spill is going to do some [...]
Perhaps in an effort to make up for my lack of posts this week (I made meatloaf and it lasted us several meals), a somewhat longer than usual list of highlights from my Reader. Seems like there was a lot of interesting stuff on the web this week. If these aren’t enough, remember you can [...]

From Planet Green, 75 Things You Can Compost, but Thought You Couldn’t …pizza boxes, hair, potpourri, feathers…wow, who knew? (via Serious Eats) The [...]
It’s Friday, time for this week’s most interesting articles from my Google Reader. Remember, there’s always more to read from “What I’m Reading” on the right sidebar of the blog. Highlights for August 15-21 Time Magazine’s cover story this week is a really quality article by Bryan Walsh titled “Getting Real About the High Price of [...]
Highlights for August 1-August 8 Julie and Julia opens in theaters today! I’d certainly like to see it at some point, though it’ll probably be a while if the amount of time it took me to go see Food, Inc is any indication. At any rate, the internet (and the news, for that matter) have [...]
1) The Maine Brewer’s Guild has just released a brochure about the “Maine Beer Trail” (opens PDF). Personally, I’m not a fan of beer. I’ve been told it’s is an acquired taste but I’ve been trying it for almost 4 years now and I still haven’t acquired it. Nevertheless, visiting breweries can be fun [...]
