Everyone has an opinion about the veracity of global warming, except, maybe global governments who are pursing economic improvements on the back of climate change. The quest for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and predominately carbon dioxide (CO2) has led to a spurt of new research around the development of more sustainable practices and technologies. But at what cost …
The Dorm Room Diner
The Dorm Room Diner just sounds like it would be a great gift for your college student. I found a link via one of my Twitter followers. So I checked it out and the first thing that caught my eye was “beef” and I love beef (all other types of meat too). Here’s what Dulce Taylor says on her cookbook …
Weber On The Grill iPad App
Here’s an interesting looking app for your iPad. However, the $4.99 price tag makes me hesitate. Me, a carnivorous grill-a-holic. What do you think? Worth $4.99? Almost one year after the launch of its successful Weber’s On the Grill recipe and grilling technique app for the iPhone and iPod touch, Weber-Stephen Products Co. has just released a new Weber’s On …

Happy National Hamburger Day
Happy National Hamburger Day. At least I think it is National Hamburger Day. I have found some conflicting information about this online. However, I’ve seen enough pointing to today to make it official enough for me. So, when you’re planning your grill schedule today or anytime this holiday weekend don’t forget the burgers! Here’s an excerpt from National Beef Ambassador …
Sanani Coffee
Regular AgWired fans know that I am a coffee snob. That’s Cindy’s term since I just prefer to drink good coffee. That’s why I got excited when I learned about Sanani, The Original Mocha Coffee. In this week’s program we’re going to learn not only about Sanani but coffee itself. I think you’ll learn some things you did not know. …
Can the Local Food Movement Feed the World?
I think that one, living in California, and two, living on a ranch, is causing me to obsess about food. Or maybe it is because publishers keep sending me books about food to review (come back next week for one of those very reviews). Regardless of the reason, I was in Whole Foods last week and the last few times …
Sorghum Offering Alternative To Celiac Diet
I was interested to see that the Sorghum Checkoff is holding a food workshop since I’ve got a brother and sister who have Celiac disease.
