Newsweek Magazine Reveals Mollie’s Folly In “No More Sacred Cows” Piece
5. January 2010
I have to say it didn’t completely surprise me to read in a recent Newsweek article (”No More Sacred Cows” by Jennie Yabroff) that Molly Katzen, author of the Moosewood Cookbook and other vegetarian classics, has now included a recipe for beef stew in her latest cookbook. Anyone who could be a vegetarian for that [...]
Dear New York Times Editor: Surely You’re Joking?
22. December 2009
I have a pet plant. I walk her, buy her Hanukah gifts, pet her, snuggle with her, and give her treats. Oh wait, that’s my rescue dog. Her name is Rose. But for the purpose of this discussion, let’s just call her “Sentient.” Sentient took a walk in the snow yesterday, and the salt on the ground [...]

But back then it was a loosely-attached part of the “founding treaty [...]

After reading more about BPA’s presence in canned foods and the chemical’s link to breast cancer, I have been trying to cook more dried beans and less canned ones. The first several times, however, no matter how much I soaked them, they simply did not get the same potato-y texture as cooked canned beans have. [...]
