Due To Circumstances Beyond My Control … well. Sorry about missing tonight's meeting.
Fooducate has a short but sweet takedown of Snapple's new line of punches in cans. 79¢, 190 calories, and enough high-fructose corn syrup to equate to twelve teaspoons of sugar. As one of their users points out, when the numbers get that big you change to the next measurement up: each can contains four tablespoons of sugar. Drink four, not a difficult task on a summer afternoon in Arizona, and you are consuming one cup of sugar.
Andrew Weil has a good article on cooking with whole grains; Marion Nestle covers the war between POM and Coca-Cola, owner of Minute Maid, over whether Minute Maid labels are deceptive (the bottle says “100% Juice”, which is accurate, but it also says POMEGRANATE BLUEBERRY on a product that's 99% apple and grape juices). Yoni Freedhoff continues his series on the myths of weight loss: this week we have "Don't eat until you're hungry", which can lead to less than ideally wise choices:
... the notion that "you can outrun your fork" by exercising until you throw up, the idea that "cheat days" are wise (he's deploring here not the idea of indulgence, but that of telling yourself, "I don't have to ask myself whether this choice is worth it because today's my Cheat Day!"), and the entire concept of forbidding particular foods. And at Grist, the extraordinarily cool idea of undercover urban beekeeping!
Recipes! Chow.com has kimchi made from Brussels sprouts, two dozen different ways to use up your leftover Easter ham/lamb/hardboiled eggs, and tips on what to do when the garlic sprouts. (Eat it, if you like the taste. If not, plant it.) Thekitchn.com roasts asparagus, as who would not? (I have tried it and it is freaking delicious.) At Simply Recipes we find eggs mimosa – that's a very pretty and far-less-mayonnaise take on deviled eggs, artichoked. And from Snack Girl a different but also reduced-mayo deviled egg, DIY breakfast sausage, and a collection of recipes designed to be Weight Watchers-friendly!
Tomorrow is National Pigs-In-Blankets Day, anybody remember those? Saturday is National Pretzel Day. And one week from today is National Raisin Day, National Oatmeal Cookie Day (this can hardly be a coincidence), and National Mr. Potato Head Day, that classic toy having made its debut – in its original form, smoking a pipe and sans plastic potato – that date in 1952.
