Got milk? While there is debate out there (i.e. T. Colin Campbell’s The China Study – good read if you haven’t yet) about cow’s milk and its benefits and dangers, a lot of us drink milk or at least give it to our children. But do you know where your milk comes from? If you [...]
Gorgeous pizza crust from a funky specialty place in Raleigh with pizzas like “Cow Over the Moon” – Moonlight Pizza.
Peace & Love – best to CakeGirl of DaisyCakes!
Valentine’s Day, Apolo Ohno‘s 6th medal in a kick-ass race (did you see his semi-final run?), Chinese New Year – it was a busy weekend! And a busy eating weekend.
