Squash is even better with olive oil and garlic, cut up in cubes and baked for a long time.

man, how in the hell is there High-Fructose Corn syrup in my ICED TEA??

that is some fucked up shit. this is the day when I have HAD ENOUGH.

I noticed today that my bread has a "NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP" blurb on the wrapper. I didn't know if I should feel good that mine is clean, or worried that other bread had it.

HFCS... is there nothing it can't do?

If the recession causes more people to plant gardens I am all in favor of more recession action.

I have a neighbor that thinks we are going to have to start eating squirrels.

I have a friend who thinks that students here will eventually have to turn the place into a farm and work part time to keep the school in business.

I have had that idea many times.  Would be so easy.

Also, kombucha, do you know how easy it is to make that stuff?  And they sell it for like 3 or 4 dollars a bottle.  I could make the exact same drink, sell it for 2.50 and the actual cost of making it would be like 10 cents (these are like 12 or 16 oz bottles of sweetened tea, well that is the part that cost money).  I understand bottling and shipping will be a lot more, but still.

It's been done. You can get Coke made without corn syrup in Canada and I believe also in Mexico. Also, at certain times of year, the Kosher coke does not have it.

Also, I don't know which objection to corn syrup you subscribe to but - the Coke without it tastes better.

Real sugar coke from Mexico is readily available here in Houston.  It comes in old school glass bottles too.

Cheerwine made with real cane sugar is available in some locations.

IE, it is not available in the nice grocery stores near my house, but if I am down town and go into a gas station it'll be there.

Real sugar beverages can be found where there are communities of immigrants who are used to that kind of awesome.
While I agree that it tastes better, I dont understand the hate that HFCS gets in this country. Its made from CORN. CORN, its  a plant, americans grow it, its cheap, its abundant, its not a chemical. Does the word "Fructose" trip you up, or what?

(HOLY COW, DID YOU GUYS KNOW THAT IF YOU CLICK ON THE NOTEPAD THING NEXT TO YOUR POST, YOU CAN EDIT IT RIGHT HERE IN THE PAGE. SWEET BABY JESUS!)

it encourages the inefficient, non-sustainable (although I hate how that word gets bandied around) factory-farm monoculture system. cheap, empty calories are what is sending our health down the toilet. the result of bizarre subsidy policies which have created a really strange food supply situation in this country.

sure it's corn, but it's corn without any of the nutrients.

Oh fuck the environment. The environment does nothing but whine these days. The problem is that the stuff tastes bad.

That cucumber advice is basically going to change my life. Also, I've been storing my onions next to my potatoes. That chart doesn't make it clear what happens when you store them apart, but I'm keen to find out.
