Argentine Wine Hack: Make Bad Wine Better
On the blistering hot day, the homemade wine spritzer was extremely refreshing. But, the soda water wine mixture had plenty of other benefits. The otherwise mediocre house wine had some spunk to it. And the biggest benefit was that the wine lasted longer than it otherwise would have because of the extra liquid. Presumably this also prevents you from getting drunk at the important business lunches many Argentinians were at.
This summer if you open a bottle of wine -- red or white -- that just isn't all that great, add some soda water to it. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Chef Gillian Clark's portabella reuben recipe
Portabella Reuben sandwich:
8 portobellos, cleaned and stems removed
1/4 cup olive oil
salt
pepper
8 slices of swiss cheese
8 slices of rye bread
½ cup sauerkraut
Toss the portobellos in the olive oil and with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Roast the portobellos in an oven preheated to 350 degrees. While the portobellos are roasting (it should take about 15 minutes) toast the rye bread in the oven with a slice of the cheese on each slice of bread.
To assemble the sandwiches, place two of the mushrooms on one slice of the rye and one fourth of the sauerkraut. Place the other slice of bread on top of the sauerkraut. Slice the sandwich in half and serve
The Unhealthy Truth: why we're raising Generation Rx : Minding My Business : Alpha Mom™
Isabel's great review of a book I am ordering tonight on 'raising an rx generation'. Can't wait, this has really been on my mind so much the last couple of weeks (if you can't tell from my links in the post :) ).
Food Declaration
The movement to create a healthier food and agriculture policy in the US has been slowly and steadily gaining ground for well over a decade. Those all around the nation who began the work are encouraged by the progress and simultaneously concerned by the pace of change given the disproportionate impact of food and agriculture on personal and planetary health.

Wisconsin Fourth-Graders Boycott School Lunch
After being frustrated with the quality of snacks and food served at my kiddo's daycare/school (a definite reason we ALWAYS pack our own lunch), this is a pretty rad movement -- led by 4th graders no less.

Patricia Mulvey reported on the blog F is for French Fry that a group of fourth-grade students at Nuestro Mundo Elementary School in Madison, WI had planned to protest the unhealthy food served in their cafeteria by staying behind in class during recess and enjoying a home-cooked meal. Their “Real Food Picnic” – you might call it an Eat-In – was cancelled, however, when the school district’s assistant superintendent alerted parents and school administrators and asked them to discourage the event, citing concerns about food allergies, lack of supervision and the presence of news media.
The fourth-graders are members of a student-run group called “Boycott School Lunch (BCSL)” that they founded last fall after conducting some “gross experiments” in the school cafeteria, like measuring how much grease they could squeeze out of a hamburger. At the time, the students happened to have been learning about Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement in history class. When teacher Joshua Forehand showed them a movie about the Children’s Crusade that took place in Birmingham, AL in 1963, the students were inspired to organize a peaceful protest in support of bringing healthier food into the school.

Many nutrition experts believe that it is possible to fix the National School Lunch Program by throwing a little more money at it. But without healthy food (and cooks and kitchens to prepare it), increased financing will only create a larger junk-food distribution system. We need to scrap the current system and start from scratch. Washington needs to give schools enough money to cook and serve unprocessed foods that are produced without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. When possible, these foods should be locally grown.
How much would it cost to feed 30 million American schoolchildren a wholesome meal? It could be done for about $5 per child, or roughly $27 billion a year, plus a one-time investment in real kitchens. Yes, that sounds expensive. But a healthy school lunch program would bring long-term savings and benefits in the areas of hunger, children’s health and dietary habits, food safety (contaminated peanuts have recently found their way into school lunches), environmental preservation and energy conservation.
