As of this week, raw meat and poultry will begin carrying nutrition labels. There are a couple of good articles about it at Fooducate. Chow.com has a selection of “Easy and Flavorful Low-Carb Recipes” which might come in handy if you could figure some way to moderate the fairly lavish inclusion of fats. Serious Eats has a delicious-looking recipe for pan-seared scallops with salsa verde, as well as a stack of intriguing popcorn toppings, some conventional, some less so (furikake, anyone? How about the cheese powder from Kraft Dinner?). Summer Tomato has very specific instructions on how to make a perfect steamed artichoke. (It involves steaming it twice, once upside down, once rightside up.) And at Smithsonian magazine are some truly lovely polarized microphotographs of fruits and vegetables.
At Weighty Matters, Yoni Freedhoff posts a pithy entry on your Indulgence Autopilot. While admitting – while, in fact, specifically pointing out – that a weight-loss plan involving never again eating your favorite foods will not and cannot work, he offers cautions around the idea of automatic indulgences, like “We're going to order pizza because it's Friday and that's Pizza Night”. (I shall be keeping this in mind as I plan my Wednesday Night After-Weight-Watchers Dinner.) The key question, he says, is not “Am I allowed?”, but “Is it worth it?” and “How much do I need to be satisfied?”
This is the second week in March, National Chocolate Chip Cookie Week. The 11th is National Oatmeal-Nut Waffle Day, oddly specific but it might be fairly healthy, and the day before that, the 10th, is National Pack Your Lunch Day, which merits my twice-annual mention of the not-updated-in-two-years-but-still-informative lunchinabox.net, subtitled “Building a Better Bento”.
