I love IPAs.

Whisky Safari

http://www.chicagotribune.com/travel/sns-travel-sample-whiskey-tour-scotland,0,7975254.story

Would be tons of fun.

Whisky or whiskey?

Beneficial Fatty Acids

http://www.rodale.com/fish-oil-quality?cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-2010_09_30-_-Top5-_-NA

Beware rancid oils.

Potato Chips

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/63647/title/Potato_chips_A_symptom_of_the_U.S._R%2BD_problem

It is all about priorities.

Beware Beetles

http://www.rodale.com/similac-baby-formula-recall?cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-2010_09_23-_-Top5-_-NA

Beetle parts could irritate an infant's GI tract.

Curried Sweet Potato and Apple Soup

http://www.organicgardening.com/feature/0,7518,s1-65-69-1982,00.html

I might have to adjust the spices for people that do not like curry.

Gourmet Cooking Salts

http://www.herbcompanion.com/cooking/pairing-herbs-gourmet-cooking-salts.aspx

Use less and taste more.

Boozy Fruit

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/22/dining/22appe.html?th&emc=th

Sounds delicious.

Edible Insects

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/22/dining/22bug.html?_r=1&th&emc=th

I was surprised by the pessimism of the entomology professor from Purdue regarding insects as a source of protein.

Chili Peppers

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/21/science/21peppers.html?th&emc=th

I love chili peppers.

Interesting that the spiciness developed as a defense against fungus.

Bad fish

http://www.rodale.com/fish-avoid?cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-2010_09_20-_-Top5-_-NA

I guess I have to start asking where my cod comes from.

Raw Milk Cheese

http://blogs.consumerreports.org/safety/2010/09/good-night-morningland-recalls-68957-pounds-of-raw-milk-cheese.html?EXTKEY=NS0S01009

Beware quality control problems.

Fig Galette

http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/fig_galette/

The butter pie crust is interesting.

Shipping Goodies

http://www.landolakes.com/TestKitchen/TipsAndTechniques/FAQ/homemadetreats.aspx

Helpful advice.

Claddagh

http://claddaghirishpubs.com/

We had the calamari and the mussels, both excellent.

Hot Lemonade

http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/hot-lemonade-with-rum

Spiking the lemonade with a high quality dark rum might make it even better than the hot lemonade at the Red Pepper Deli.

Red Pepper Deli

http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/19/1485587/restaurant/Detroit/Red-Pepper-Deli-Northville

We had samples from the Red Pepper Deli at the Plymouth Fall Festival last friday.

They were excellent.

We had more excellent snacks at their Northville location tonight.

The hot lemonade was the best lemonade I ever tasted.

Hot in both temperature and spiciness.

Chicken Tenders

http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/herbed_chicken_tenders_with_tomato_sauce/

Worth trying.

Stop Frankenfish

http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/fish/seafood/stop-frankenfish/

Someone should make a movie about this.

Maybe Tim Burton?

But he is busy with the Frankenweenie remake.

AquaAdvantage

http://www.rodale.com/genetically-engineered-salmon?cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-2010_09_16-_-Top5-_-NA

Making salmon grow faster.

Freedom to Choose Better Beer

http://libertystreetbeer.com/

Excellent beer.

Growlers

http://www.bellportbeer.com/All_About_Growlers.html

We got a growler from Liberty Street Brewery in Plymouth.

Pub Brown Ale was excellent.

I promptly rinsed it, so according to the above link, it should be ready for a refill.

Bottled Water vs. Tap Water

http://www.wisegeek.com/is-bottled-water-bad-for-the-environment.htm

Complicated topics.

International grain policy

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/13/opinion/13mon3.html?_r=1&th&emc=th

Export bans, stockpiling, grain rotting in storage.

Sounds like a crisis to me.

Affordable Antioxidants

http://www.rodale.com/antioxidant-rich-foods?cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-2010_09_13-_-Top5-_-NA

I like sweet potatoes, apples, dried cranberries, etc.

Organic strawberries are better

http://www.rodale.com/organic-strawberries?cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-2010_09_09-_-Top5-_-NA

Interesting results from a study by Washington State University.
