2010-03-16 Homey, casual Italian food at Barbacco

While the food is hearty and the prices are lean, the pace of dining is relaxed. Waiters make a point of pacing so everything doesnt arrive at once. Each plate is also accompanied by proper utensils for serving, an amenity thats often forgotten at places where food is meant to be shared. The staff is well trained and knows the food as well as the wine.

Each days menu features 10 types of house-made salumi, including a sweetly spiced orange-scented duck mortadella ( usd. 5), in which the meat has the texture but not the flavor of bologna. Lonza ( usd. 6), cured pork loin, is sliced paper thin and carries whispers of fennel pollen crusted on the outside; its delicate, but distinct. However, I expected more punch from the half-dollar-size slices of chile-infused piccante ( usd. 5), which also had an overly slick texture.

2010-03-13 Your Chilean Sea Bass Dinner Deprives Killer Whales Wired Science

Antarctic toothfish are now called Chilean Sea Bass, too. Theyre thought to be the primary food of Ross Sea killer whales, which were described as common by the first Antarctic explorers and subsequent visitors. Just a few years ago, boats headed into the McMurdo research station on Ross Island were literally surrounded by killer whales out toward the horizon, write the

Goose, dont overestimate the impact that just one person makes on the environment and remember that we cant fix our problems overnight. Its great that you are aware of how the choices you make affect our planet, but if you take it to the point that it ruins your life, you probably arent doing any great service. Rather than scrutinize every single molecule of food that enters your body, maybe your efforts would have more impact if you concentrated more on increasing other peoples awareness of how their decisions impact the planet. If you make yourself miserable trying to be the ultimate example of sustainability, you might have a hard time convincing others to make lifestyle changes.

A Chileno comments that it is shameful to steal food from stores. Says others are making a profit from earthquake, selling a carton of powdered milk, usually costing 4,000 pesos ( usd. 8) for 15,000. As Ive commented before, there is a deep sense of pride here that Chilenos are honorable. Believe me, the great majority are.

Bachelets Popularity Holds at Record After Quake (Update1)

March 9 (Bloomberg) -- Chilean President Michelle Bachelet and rsquo;s approval rating held at a record high after the country and rsquo;s deadly earthquake as the government urged residents to donate building materials, diapers and food to help victims.

Bachelet said yesterday that the handover of power to President-elect Sebastian Pinera on won and rsquo;t hamper efforts to help quake victims. The government deployed troops and supplies to southern Chile after the nation and rsquo;s strongest temblor since 1960 destroyed homes and triggered a tsunami that swamped coastal areas. Hundreds of people died. Some areas still lack electricity and running water.

2010-03-08 Little relief for Chiles victims

All across the devastated central southern area smashed by the quake and tsunami, handwritten signs hung on gates and fences say We need food, water, medicine. Chiles 16. 8 million people have responded with a huge show of solidarity to the disaster. -- AFP

On the other side of town, on day seven after the quake, a group of elderly people in their 70s and 80s were sleeping on the street keeping watch over the smashed remains of their homes. We see army trucks, police vans and municipal officials drive by on the main road but no one has stopped to see how we are, said 80-year-old Maria Fresia Hil Castro. Neighbours, friends and family have brought food and water, but we havent had any government aid, no tents, no blankets.

2010-02-25 The Pueblo Chieftain Online :: Food forecast

Like many local restaurateurs, Warner highlights his use of local and regional foods. Many Pueblo establishments take advantage of the bounty of produce available from farmers on the St. Charles Mesa. Just check out the menu at Angelos pizza parlor, which advertises its use of Musso chiles, or the multiple Downtown spots that serve Pueblos Solar Roast coffee.

Among other trends, the Web sites Epicurious and Food Channel both cite home cooking as an activity thats growing in popularity. Within that realm, potlucks, slow-cooking and canning are in vogue - again, part economics, part food awareness. If youve ordered dessert at some of Pueblos restaurants recently, you may have noticed a little something - several little somethings, in fact. Mini desserts are a response to diners desire for less expensive and smaller options. Call it a win-win: customers get a sweet finish to their meal; restaurants get a couple of extra bucks they might normally lose.

Brazils president, Luiz Incio Lula da Silva, was jailed by his countrys last military regime. Chiles president, Michelle Bachelet, was tortured in prison by the Pinochet regime. The United States, of course, supported Pinochets overthrow of Chiles elected leader, Salvador Allende.
