Santa Barbara Pistachios ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL



From their website.

On March 30th, 2009 the FDA released a nationwide recall on pistachios.

The pistachio processor used by Santa Barbara Pistachio Company "is NOT INVOLVED with this recall". Please
see attachment.

Stop by and see them at the Farmer's Markets and give them a little business as you know that their sales will probably be affected by people assuming their pistachios are being recalled.

Busy as California Bees....

and yes...they HAVE been busy.

California's bees perked up last year, producing 35 percent more honey than in 2007, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report issued this week.The resurgence is one of several signs
that the health of the state's commercial bees is improving.


But beekeepers and researchers say it's not yet clear the threat known as colony collapse disorder has passed. The still-mysterious condition, which causes bees to abandon their hives, thrust the insects into the media spotlight in 2007. The nation's 2.4 million commercial beehives help to produce nearly one-third of U.S. food. - Sacramento Bee

The recall covers its Private Selection brand with sell-by dates of Dec. 13 and Dec. 14, 2009.


They were sold in 17 Kroger-owned stores including Kroger, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Fry's, King Soopers, Smith's, Dillons, QFC, City Market, Foods Co., Jay C, Scott's, Owen's, Baker's, Gerbes, Hilander and Pay Less. - ktvz

Remember tonight.....8:30 p.m, left coast time

VOTE EARTH

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday. - EarthHour

The Santa Cruz man landed an 11-pound lobster that will be the main character of a fishing tale for years to come. And if you don't believe it, you can see it at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. - Mercury News.com

Palazzio has wine payment by honor system....

A restaurant in Barcelona takes it a step further in these times of the 2nd Great Depression. "Pay at Will"

A Spanish restaurant grappling with hard economic times is wooing diners by letting them pay whatever they want for its daily special.

Barcelona restaurateur Eledino Garcia said Monday he introduced the honor system three weeks ago in his 32-seat bar and eatery to bring back loyal customers, many of whom lost their jobs as Spain's unemployment rate soared to 13.9 percent over the past year.

And the idea is actually working: Garcia says his daily take is up.

After a midday meal, diners who opted for the euro10 ($13.56), three-course daily special get something other than a check."I give you an envelope, and you pay what you think it was worth, or whatever you can pay," said Garcia, the 50-year-old owner of the small restaurant called Mireya. - AP

Congrats to Santa Barbara resident & Iron Chef Cat Cora


who not only is partnering up with Disney for a new restaurant at DisneyWorld.

Chef Cat Cora and Disney are joining together to open an exciting new family dining restaurant at Disney's BoardWalk Resort. Kouzzina by Cat Cora will feature a menu of Mediterranean-style cuisine that pays tribute to the chef's Greek roots.

....As a Mississippi native born to a family of Greek restaurateurs, Cora
grew up immersed in two different and flavorful cultures, and has taken from that unique background the kitchen "know-how" handed down through generations. The cuisine at Kouzzina (Greek for "kitchen" and pronounced "koo-zee-nah") will showcase Mediterranean cuisine and Chef Cora's philosophy to create simple yet sensational meals.-

Foodies are becoming the new

"twitterati"
Mobile food trucks are tweeting their locations. Local chefs are posting photos and descriptions of new menu items. And it's even possible to find recipes (that would be "twecipes" in the ever-expanding Twitter vernacular).

For those more interested in what's being served at A16 tonight than they are the latest Paris Hilton gossip, Twitter's amorphous question of "What are you doing right now?" has essentially been recast as "What are you eating?" or "What are you cooking?"

...By following your favorite food "Twitterati" - as users like Stewart, Mark Bittman and Reichl have been dubbed - you can watch a conversation take place (the most socially acceptable form of voyeurism) or, better yet, join in. Simply begin a post with, say, @gachatz (the handle of Chicago's highly regarded Alinea restaurant chef Grant Achatz; the @ sign before the name is how users communicate on Twitter), and you can chime in
on his philosophical and often abstract questions that relate to his
experimental cooking: "Did the '80s crush the opportunity for smoked
strawberries?" -

Irish Soda Bread

This recipe from EatingWell.com is for traditional soda bread:

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cup buttermilk


1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and sprinkle with a little flour.

2. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in buttermilk. Using one hand, stir in full circles (starting in the center of the bowl working toward the outside of the bowl) until all the flour is incorporated. The dough should be soft but not too wet and sticky. When it all comes together, in a matter of seconds, turn it out onto a well-floured surface. Clean dough off your hand.

3. Pat and roll the dough gently with floury hands, just enough to tidy it up and give it a round shape. Flip over and flatten slightly to about 2 inches. Transfer the loaf to the prepared baking sheet. Mark with a deep cross using a serrated knife and prick each of the four quadrants.4. Bake the bread for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400° and continue to bake until the loaf is brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped, 30 to 35 minutes more. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and let cool for about 30 minutes.

Good Guide

Good news for those who want to know.
GoodGuide, a Web site that rates the impact of a wide range of consumer products on health and the environment, is adding more than 30,000 packaged foods to its database today in response to user demand.

"The No. 1 request from users was food information. People wanted us to rate food on: What is in it? Is it safe? Where is it from?" said GoodGuide founder Dara O'Rourke, an associate professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at UC Berkeley.

Among the companies and products examined are Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Nabisco, Heinz, Hains, Celestial Seasoning, Yoplait, Kashi and even Boca Burgers.

....Other factors taken into account include whether the product includes genetically modified organisms, trans fat or fructose. Information is available on how far packaged foods were shipped, whether the animals used to make them were treated humanely and if products are Fair Trade or organically certified.

"We rate the additives, colors, etcetera, and ask if they are hazardous," said O'Rourke, adding, "We have colors used here that are banned in Europe."

Shoppers with an interest in corporate behavior also will find useful information. Users will see, for example, that Horizon milk was purchased by Dean Foods, a large corporate dairy that has been criticized for the treatment of its cows. -

Meet Shmeat....

Will the test tube flesh be a cuisine to reign supreme? Ugh...i'm not so sure. It's kinda giving me the culinary creeps.

Test-tube meat is also known as in vitro meat, cultured meat, victimless meat, vat-grown meat, hydroponic meat and, finally, shmeat. (Note to self: Be sure to apply for inevitable X Prize to rename this stuff.) Shmeat is grown from a cell culture (hence the in vitro or cultured prefixes), not from a live animal. These harvested cells are taken from an animal, such as a pig, and placed in a “nutrient-rich medium” that mimics blood. Once the cells multiply they are attached to a spongy scaffold or “sheet” (sheet + meat = shmeat) that has been soaked with nutrients and stretched to increase cell size and protein content.

This shmeat could, in theory, be harvested in vast quantities and used in minced meat products: burgers, nuggety things, or potted meat-food products, etc. While scientists (they call themselves “tissue engineers”) admit that growing a pork chop with a bone without a real pig attached is not likely, they also say that affordable, palatable minced shmeat might be available at a grocery store near you within a decade.

So… is this news great? Or gross? If it’s hard for you to tell, I assure you, you are not alone. -

Local foodies take note of two upcoming "adventures"

Outstanding in the Field is coming again to our neck of the California "woods"...sometime in May or June. They will have their official 2009 schedule tour dates available on March 20.....and if you have not yet picked up a copy of their cookbook...hurry on down to Chaucer's and pick one up.

And....if that weren't enough delicious excitement....SBCC Continuing Education has a class coming up in their next session (Registration starts next week) entitled "Walk with the Farmer and the Cook" starting April 16th for 4 weeks on Thursday mornings.

This class is all about appreciating our local seasonal food and the people who grow it. Each week we will visit a farm and walk for about 30 to 60 minutes with a farmer to learn about fruits and vegetables: how they are grown and harvested, how to cook and enjoy them as well as learn their nutritional value from a cook who is a registered dietitian. Participants will receive weekly recipes and experience tasting an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables. First class will meet at the Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens (598 N Fairview, Goleta). Limit 50.

Our National Nightmare....Our Food Supply

An expert in fresh produce, was not aware that peanuts were readily susceptible to salmonella — which he was not required to test for anyway.....How scary is that phrase....especially that last part...."he was not required to test for anyway...." Welcome to the nightmare of our food supply.

With government inspectors overwhelmed by the task of guarding the nation’s food supply, the job of monitoring food plants has in large part fallen to an army of private auditors like Mr. Hatfield. And the problems go well beyond peanuts.

An examination of the largest food poisoning outbreaks in recent years — in products as varied as spinach, pet food, and a children’s snack, veggie booty — show that auditors failed to detect problems at plants whose contaminated products later sickened consumers. In one case involving hamburgers fed to schoolchildren, the Westland/Hallmark Meat Company in California passed 17 separate audits in 2007, records show. Then an undercover video made that year showed the plant’s workers using forklifts to force sickly cows into the slaughterhouse, which prompted a recall of 143 million pounds of beef in February 2008.

“The contributions of third-party audits to food safety is the same as the
contribution of mail-order diploma mills to education,” said Mansour Samadpour, a Seattle consultant who has worked with companies nationwide to improve food safety. -
