Weekday Vegetarian: Pasta with Fava Beans and Pecorino Romano

Photo: Emma Alter Once I discovered earlier this spring how really delicious fava beans are, I have been buying them every time I see them. There’s no doubt they are a bit more work that the average bean, but I love the taste and the texture and I think it’s worth the work. The season isn’t very long, and I thought it was over because I hadn’t seen fava beans in the organic market where I shop for awhile, but suddenly there they were again. This may be the last hurrah for them for this year. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Weekday Vegetarian: Grilled Watermelon and Tomato Salad to Cool Your Off

During heat waves in my childhood, my mother would send us outside with thick slabs of sweet, dripping watermelon. My brother and I would stick out faces into it and let the cold juice run down our chins. Watermelon today is seedless, thereby depriving the current generation of children the joy of competitive watermelon seed spitting, but it can still cool you off on a hot day….

In Defense of "Eco" Fast Food

A pretty scathing critique of “eco-restaurants” recently ran in Newseek. Called Your Carbon Foodprint , the article honed in on the now-fully formed trend of eateries capitalizing on environmentally conscious values to appeal to a growing market — and, it charges, doing little but greenwashing in the process. The focus is on the vegetarian fast food chain Otarian , which is predictably assaulted it for committing a number of hypocrisies: Its owners don’t liv… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Oil Corp Lawyers Claim Offshore Drilling Ban is Destroying an ‘Ecosystem of Business’

The latest image of the oil spill from NASA I have to admit that I’ve been trying to think beyond the ongoing environmental horror-show of the BP oil spill and get past blame and anger with it all.

Some enterprising little critter ate all of my carrot tops as soon as they started to come out, so that was the end of that. My beets were doing fabulously, but something has started to eat them as well, which I find much more upsetting. My
