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

Sure, a pair of flip flops won't really save all rainforests, but dropping $18,000 to own them, with the proceeds going to protect 100,000 square feet of endangered rain forest land certainly can't hurt. ...Read the full story on TreeHugger

Its longest running radio soap may have featured carbon offsets and transition towns in its story lines.

Little is known about the Amazon's few remaining uncontacted tribes, who for centuries have practiced their traditional ways of life in the remotest regions of the world's largest rainforest -- but many fear that they may be learning the worst about us. According to Brazil's National Indian Foundation (Funai), a gang of heavily-armed, Peruvian drug traffickers are believed to have recently ransacked an isolated indian outpost, driving away or killing the numerous indigenous peoples there, now considered 'missing'. The events highlight yet another threat facing a region hard-hi...Read the full story on TreeHugger

A few months ago we wrote about a mechanical seagull that rivals the real thing in how lifelike it looks on the wing. Well, turns out it can fool even members of the species it is mimicking.

In 1978, Neago spearheaded a program of orangutan language study at UCLA, and, using a specially designed computer program built in collaboration with IBM, became the first (and only) researcher to successfully teach a young ape to read and spell in English. Now, decades after proving that other primates h...Read the full story on TreeHugger
