These plums are best enjoyed with a glass of 2008 Primoroso from Oso Libre Winery. Primoroso is swirling with dark berries and minor floral notes. The blend has just a hint of spice which makes it the perfect pairing for this dish.

"When they're fresh, their exoskeletons don't get stuck in your teeth."
Reading this article about eating bugs as a greener substitute to animal meat in the Atlantic almost made me swear off food for good. Intellectually, I know that there's probably nothing wrong with insect-sourced protein and I'm ready to believe people who've eaten them that they can be tasty is cooked right, but my poor evolved brain has innate reflexes that make me feel queasy at the idea of putting these things in my mouth. Maybe if...Read the full story on TreeHugger

This recipe should be enjoyed with glass (or more) of 2008 Nativo from Oso Libre Winery. The wine is lush, dripping with strawberry jam and subtle notes of lavender and anise. With a hint of eucalyptus, this fruit forward wine is great for...Read the full story on TreeHugger

In January, national treasure, chef and writer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall spearheaded a campaign called "Fish Fight" in response to the "insane waste" caused by North Sea fishermen throwing back almost a million dead and dying fish every year.
He had a series of t.v. shows, a themed week at a department store and a petition to the Europe...Read the full story on TreeHugger

This recipe is actually for something called fregola, which was new to me. It is apparently, "tiny, toothsome balls of pasta". Given that I'm at the cottage, I was reasonably certain that fregola would not be on offer at my local general store. But, of course, couscous is tiny, toothsome balls of pasta as well, and that was easy to find. ...Read the full story on TreeHugger

Much to my surprise, in socialist cheese-eating Europe they rarely fluoridate water because it is considered a government intrusion on personal freedom of choice. Christine writes in Parentables:
The debate is philosophical: does the government have any business forcing fluoride on citizens, especially when it is easier than ever to get fluoride by own's own initiative? This argument does not depend on the health effects. In Europe, the decision to stop fluoridation was made not due to hazards, but due to the activism against th...Read the full story on TreeHugger

I saw the truck as we entered the Old South Pearl Street farmer's market on Sunday, but what I thought was an awesome old truck selling greens out of the back was even better—it was growing them. Lined with dirt, the bed of the truck literally sprouts all kinds of greens, from lettuce to tomato plants to a variety of herbs. ...Read the full story on TreeHugger

The goal of London's 2012 Olympics is to be the most sustainable Games ever. But the organizers are a bit conflicted. For example, the world's largest MacDonald's will be opening just next to the site. It will be the size of 3 football fields and is expected to serve 1.75M meals. That's 50,000 Big Macs and 180,000 portions of fries and 30,000 milkshakes.over the 29 days of the Games.
