Lilah ,'Not Fade Away'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Hmmm, and Northrop Frye got the "Green World" from Keats' Endymion.
Down whose green back the short-liv’d foam, all hoar,
Bursts gradual, with a wayward indolence.
See now you've got "green backs" bringing in the monetary aspect. How it's not all just fresh basil but an economic critique as well.
Everything has HFCS in it. Bread. Tomato sauce. Salad dressings, ketchup, mayo. Canned beans.
Yep yep yep. I've seriously tried to quit HFCS twice so far (and backslid again, because I'm that backslidey girl, yo), and it was infinitely easier the first time, when it was basically only in sweet things (soda, yogurt, "juice" made of mostly sugar-water); by two years later, it was in sausage! and bread! and ewwww!
reading all of the labels all of the time gets exhausting.
It really does. And that's the thing -- I'll read labels because it's something I get crazy about, but it shouldn't be case that you HAVE to. And that's not about thinking everyone would magically be a foodie if only they knew, the truth or that it's as easy to be an unblemished locavore in Idaho as in the Bay area. It's about better options being available in any store.
Damn. I'll shut up now. I think my popsicle stand reopens today.
I live in a so-so neighborhood - it's trendy, but it seems a lot of the people who've moved in don't shop in the neighborhood - and our local grocery has a good range of vegetables, but a lot of them seem to be old or damaged. I got to the big store - same chain - in the "good" neighborhood and there's a huge produce section and everything's fresh.
The idea of spending the time to hunt down real fresh food, cook from scratch, and then clean up afterwards isn't practical for so many people. Most families these days need two incomes just to make it and, with commuting times being what they are, most don't have that much time at home.
And whose kids are going to eat lovingly prepared organic vegetables? they'll be clamoring for Chicken McNuggets.
Mmm, Chicken McNuggets. With Hot Mustard!
Now I want some.
I recently noticed that there is HFCS in Worcestershire sauce. What do you use to substitute for that in recipes? Is it the same as steak sauce?
My stepfather accidentally bought "honey-like syrup" the other day. Because he could not read the label. It was mostly HFCS with honey as maybe the fourth ingredient, and it was in a little honey bear like regular honey.
I don't think that the Greek yogurt I eat uses HFCS. If they do, it's not on the ingredient list.

That's just wrong. The Honey Bear Anti-Defamation League should sue....
Worcestershire sauce is all about the anchovies, isn't it? Like a thicker Westernized nam pla.

Evil!
They make a vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. I'm not sure what's in it, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have HFCS.
Or, you could order it from the UK. Is there kosher Worcestershire sauce that uses sugar, you know, like kosher Coke?
But, really, that's one of those things that I figure you eat so little of that it's no big deal (unless you can't have HFCS for some reason).
