  • The Nobody's Business Diner

    By Meredith Brody How does this menu sound to you: tomato basil soup, market pasta salad, salad du jour, organic spinach salad, Philly cheesesteaks, roasted local veggie melts, organic baked French fries, steamed organic broccoli, organic pears? Or this one: zucchini bread, French dip au jus, roasted veggie melts, steamed broccoli, cinnamon orange slices?

  • Barack Obama Sworn-In as President -- Of LEGOLAND!

    This is, as Mom would say, "Cute with two u's." Cuute, that is. Legoland California in Carlsbad this week will feature a Lego version of the Obama inauguration. That's right, a Lego Barack, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha Obama, Joe Biden, John Roberts, the Rev. Rick Warren, Oprah, and even George Bush and Dick Cheney. Maybe when they're done with this exhibit they can allow park visitors to construct their fantasies of Bush and Cheney being dragged through the streets like Mussolini. Oprah could dri

But some people are fearless, it seems (thank God, because getting restaurant reservations on Valentine's Day will be the least of their problems, we're sure). I guess what's good enough for Oprah is good enough for the First Couple. And we like the idea of starting al

    screen capture taken from http://weeklyworldnews.com/'Course I believe it! I read it in the Weekly World News!Much has been made about how San Francisco's First Lady, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, undergoes a little bedroom bipartisanship in her upcoming movie, The Trouble With Romance. In fact, director Gene Rhee even promised that scenes of Siebel Newsom's character accommodating two suitors simultaneously will "create quite a stir." It took the Weekly World News -- the self-billed provider of the "

  • The Obama Diet: The First Foodie Family

    Via: Obama-Biden Transition ProjectThe Obama FamilyAlice Waters, who has been trying for years to get Presidents from Clinton to Obama to get on board with her vision of fresh, local, seasonal, organic food for all (read her letters to Clinton and Obama here), should be happy: it seems like her efforts are finally bearing fruit. (Pun intended.)It turns out that, although Clinton did not sow an organic vegetable garden on the White House lawn, as Alice requested, ex-White House chef (for Cli

Kennedy.

According to the Washington Post, FLOTUS's commitment to denying Big Ag goes a bit beyond scratching out a few rows of heirloom radishes on the South Lawn. She's sending signals that she may be willing to drive the agenda of the good food movement in schools, a focus (starting this fall) of Slow Food USA. Writes Laskawy: Just as health care reform

    foodietots/FlickrWho could be against veggies? A still life from the Dupont FreshFarm Market.​First Lady Michelle Obama is trying to bring farm fresh food to her own 'hood near the White House. Washington D.C. residents and farmers' market fans are closely watching the First Lady -- she took out a request this week to periodically close a section of Vermont Street to set up a farmers' market.
