I read a lot of food news today. Stoked to find that some of it was good.

The New York Times reports that the USDA is about to ban the use of antibiotics as a growth-stimulating tool. Good. And, whole foods is going to color rate their seafood, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. We are a step ahead … we have had our seafood color coded for some time.

How do Credit Card Companies get away with it?

A fun first post: The Company Picnic

I am a tough act to follow when it comes to our company parties and unfortunately for me, I keep having to follow myself.  Our parties tend to be rather delish. The summer party is a lot of work since I do all the cooking and hosting.  But, I don’t mind … company parties are …
