Weekday Vegetarian: Healthy and Delicious Lentil Patties

Posted on June 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo: Kelly Rossiter My husband and I were out of town the past weekend. He spent his days at a conference working, and I was lying around a beautiful house on Lake Erie with old friends, essentially spending the weekend overindulging. We were in a big farming community, but he got an unappetizing dinner served cafeteria style, despite the claims that dinner would be “local Ontario cuisine”, while we dined on a fantastic local flank steak,

Posted on June 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Image from Nearfar It’s in the air: that African vibe is hitting music, t.v. and the fashion scene. Vibrant, colourful and wild prints are de rigeur for this summer’s sun dresses; on the catwalk and in the shops. It has taken awhile, but finally African prints have gone global. They have always been very sophisticated, combining local culture with wonderful patterns and colours. But now some big-name fashion designers are taking a serious interest in working on socially responsible projects with African craftswomen…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Posted on June 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

photo via flickr California Senate candidate Cary Fioina is looking for an edge over her opponent, Sen. Barbara Boxer, and it looks like she may have settled on the issue of national security and climate change.

Despite studies from the military confirming the validity of Boxer’s concern, Fiorina and now Glen Beck are mock… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Has This Man Gone 70 Years Without Eating? Scientists Say Maybe So

Posted on June 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Okay, here’s a weird one. You may remember the story of Prahlad Jani , an Indian yogi who claims that he hasn’t ever eaten or had a drink in the last 70 years. Well, scientists have just reportedly concluded a 15-day study in which they observed the man around the clock. And they’re entirely baffled — he didn’t eat, didn’t drink, didn’t urinate, and didn’t pass stool. What’s more, the researchers evidently conducted a number of tests, and found him to be “healthier than an average 40 year old.” The scientists are now hoping the man may help… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Where Oil Goes in the US (Images)

Posted on June 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo via Green Prophet Not all of the oil burned in the United States is used to power cars and trucks. The majority of it is, but not all — there are myriad other uses as well, many of which fly under the radar. This may seem like obvious stuff, but it’s worth reiterating — especially considering that some of our nation’s most senior legislators aren’t aware of where our oil goes. So, here’s a quick look at how our nation uses its oil: … Read the full story on TreeHugger
