The Fort Greene CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a new program that will bring farm-fresh, pesticide free vegetables directly to the Fort Greene community. You can join the CSA by purchasing a "share" of a local farmer's harvest. CSA members receive a bounty of fresh produce each week for the entire season, which runs from June to November.

Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad
Posted on Thursday, June 12, 2008
Holy crap -- Panara Bread's Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad is freak'n good. It's made with crisp romaine lettuce, fresh strawberries, blueberries, pineapple tidbits, Mandarin oranges, pecans and a fat-free Poppyseed dressing. And clocking in at 90 or 200 calories, for a half and whole size portion, it's good for you too! They'll throw some chicken on top if you're one of those people...
Or use this recipe from scrapfreak to create your own:
Strawberry Poppyseed Salad
(for 2 servings)
Romaine Lettuce chopped
Slice strawberries - 1 cup
Fresh Blueberries 1 cup
Mandarin Oranges 1 cup
Pineapple chunks in juice - 1 cup
Pecans 1/2 cup sprinkled on top
Grilled Chicken breast chunks (if you're one of those people)
Mix the above ingredients - it's a beautiful salad.
Dressing:
1/2 cup light or fat free mayo
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup Splenda
1/8 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Mix all ingredients, pour over salad and toss.Labels: food

Wherefore Art Thou, Gardenburger?
Posted on Sunday, June 01, 2008
Does anyone know what's going on with the Gardenburgers? In the last week I was unable to get a Gardenburger from NJ Subway and Cheeburger Cheeburger restaurants. As a vegetarian, it's hard enough to find something to order in most chain restaurants, and now there seems to be a Gardenburger recall?
Of the little news that I've been able to find, OregonLive.com has reported that "restaurant workers noticed abnormalities in the look and texture of patties" and that Kellogg's (the parent company) "told its customers last week that construction work at its Clearfield, Utah, plant may have affected the quality of some Gardenburger products. The voluntary withdrawal was limited to products produced during the two months from March 4 to May 6. A Kellogg statement Thursday emphasized that food safety was not involved in the withdrawal."
No official word from Gardenburger or Kellogg's has been issued to the public. The FDA seems as surprised as us. So far, the only news seems to be from the Pacific coast. What's going on? Does anyone have any information?Labels: food, vegetarian
