PaulaDeenisms, Your Source for Deep-Fried Quotes and Videos

August 17, 2010 – 4:52 pm | by admin

Sometimes Paula Deen says things that are so good, you just can’t make them up. Thankfully pauladeenisms.wordpress.com exists to share a daily (or sometimes more!) soundbite and video from the woman who brought us deep-fried butter and Velveeta fudge. Here’s a good one from a few days ago. Deen on avocados: You know, I always said that I didn’t like avocados. And then I found out that they were fattening. And I said ‘Well, I know if it’s fattening, I should like it’. So I went back and I gave it another try. And sure enough, I loved ‘em. [via The Morning News ]

‘Salon’ Asks, ‘Why Is the U.S. So Into Faddy Foods?’

August 3, 2010 – 10:09 pm | by admin

And then, after floating several possible reasons , answers: America’s fickle eating habits are actually a function of everything that America has gotten right, or at least, a result of things that make America so uniquely American: science, progress, open-mindedness, abundance and an emphasis on commerce and entrepreneurship. The “frontier mentality” that allows people to quickly adopt new foods also represents liberalism, flexibility and a willingness to experiment. [via Food News Journal ]

June 23, 2010 – 4:21 am | by admin

One of our favorite sources of food TV is the “Platelist” series on ABC’s late-night news show Nightline . Over the last two and half years it has aired insightful interviews with chefs and food-world luminaries. The producers have done an excellent job highlighting newsworthy chefs over the 57 different segments they’ve shot, but now they’re opening up the selection process to the public. From the “People’s Platelist” feature on the Nightline site : Send an essay of 500 words or less describing why you think your favorite local chef deserves to be the subject of a Nightline Platelist. Description should include some or all of the following: geographic region; interesting back story on your chef; authenticity or originality of cuisine; what sets your chef apart from the others. Deadline: 11:59 p.m., Friday, July 23, 2010.

Video: A Tour of the Doomsday Seed Vault

June 22, 2010 – 10:59 pm | by admin

Remember the Svalbard Global Seed Vault that was in the news in February 2008? It’s the doomsday bunker built by the Global Crop Diversity Trust whose goal is to house all the world’s seeds in the Arctic safe from rising water levels and ( gulp ) nuclear war. You know, in case we humans really pull a stupid move. Anyway, this video from National Geographic takes us inside. It’s a must-watch, folks.

bunny update

April 21, 2010 – 10:05 am | by admin

The good news? Bunny was adopted two days after I placed her at Lois’ cat shelter. The bad news? Unfortunately, the women who adopted her returned her yesterday. Although Bunny is cuddly (likes to sleep with people in bed at night!), lovable and great with other cats, apparently, she does not get on so well with little children. (I wonder, did someone pull her tail?) If you are interested in adopting Bunny or know someone else who is, please email me at theurbanvegan@yahoo.com with BUNNY in the subject line. Lois also has a lovely black cat and loads of kittens up for adoption.
