News Bites, August 13

What the blogs and news outlets were talking about this week:

  • I don’t know why it never occurred to me to make tomato juice in a blender. Maybe because I’m not a big fan of tomato juice. Perhaps I should be.
  • Mark Bittman found plastic in his soup and was disappointment by the lack of action taken to remedy the situation. It reminds me of the Sesame Street sketch with Waiter Grover when Mr. Johnson finds a fly in his soup (video below). Here’s Bittman’s followup.

  • Poor New Brunswickians being without ice cream during the summer. There’s a shortage because of the the Farmers Dairy strike in Nova Scotia.
  • Be careful the next time you’re craving falafel. Falafel pita (from Tov-Li) has more calories, sodium than Big Mac.
  • It was ballsy, but Serious Eats’ The Nasty Bits column covered yak testicles
  • Remember my friend David from my blog post two weeks ago? He wrote a guest post for Fiesta Farms about being a first time gardener.

Hope you’re all enjoying the summer.

Eat well, be well.
