2010-03-02 Food Sunday: Homemade Oreos The Seminal

For the cookies: Combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt and baking soda in the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until completely combined. Cut the butter into tablespoon sized chunks and throw them into the food processor. Again, pulse several times. Combine the milk and vanilla in a small cup. With the food processor running, slowly add the milk mixture to the batter, continuing to process until the batter clumps around the blade. Lay a large piece of wax paper on the counter and put the batter onto it. Gently press the batter into a log about 2 inches in diameter. The batter will be soft, and this will be a messy moment. I wrapped the batter in the wax paper and then shaped it, which worked pretty well. Put the log in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

2010-02-27 Living in Iowa: Paper or plastic The major age-old ethical dilemma just got a little easier - Mount Vernon - Libson Sun

San Francisco has enacted a complete ban on plastic grocery bags, and now Washington, D. C. , is having grocery stores charge 5 cents for the bags, encouraging customers to supply their own containers. A store in Iowa City has started charging 5 cents a bag and sells re-usable bags as an alternative. For all the attention spent on getting rid of plastic bags, youd think most people were eager for the change. In reality, the idea is about as wildly popular as Obamas health care plan. Nobody wants to add even another five cents to the cost of a bag of groceries. Many assume they are already paying for the bags as part of the cost of the food. If anything, stores should knock off a nickel for those who supply their own containers.
