Small Batch: Sriracha

The Giant Food Industry behind "Organic"

Howard, Philip H. 2009. Organic Industry Structure. Media-N: Journal of the New Media Caucus

I'm disenchanted by truth, media, and real food - organic meets large scale farming -  "the lessor evil" ?

Making Honey

"Antioxidants are found in fresh fruits and vegetables and also raw, dark honey such as that derived from buckwheat blossoms. " honey is also an anti inflammatory, is absorbed more slowly than sugar helps boost the brain function, inhibits the growth of certain bacteria in the stomach, and it is a probiotic.

Salad Dressing: Pumpkin tahini

kale, escarole, spinach, and raddichio, and herbs, iceberg, romaine

this one reminds me of the Japanese carrot ginger dressing although it contains entirely different ingredients:

pumpkin
lemon
tahini
garlic
sage  - dried or fresh
soy sauce to taste
