The Five Verse Egg

“If you boil an egg while singing all five verses and chorus of the hymn, 'Onward Christian Soldiers.' it will be cooked perfectly when you come to Amen.”

Taco Trucks The flight of anxiety is now past. As a way to celebrate I went to lunch. This is a bit of an event in that I work in an industrial park 50 miles south of San Francisco. I am surrounded by options such as Chili's, Denny's, Friday's and Teriakyi Bowls. There are a few places that I have discovered--that surprisingly no one here at work has ventured to. Today's celebration was to a recently discovered Taco Truck. I was so thrilled when I came back from lunch. Everyone, huddled over cold pizza leftover from the senior staff meetings, wanted to know how it was that I could eat food off a truck. What most people don't know is that trucks must follow the same food safety and sanitation requirements as restaurants. It is after all a restaurant on wheels. Today, I had a guava juice, a birria and two carne asadas tacos on fresh corn tortillas splashed with spicy fresh cilantro and onions. All for $5.25. The carne asada was remarkable. Simple pleasures after a few stressful days. Photos: JB (with the new Sony Cybershot--the Canon 70 has biten the dust)

Late July Organics Cape Cod Potato Chips makes a great chip. Twenty-five years ago the Bernard family began producing a potato chip that not only tasted great but was made without trans fats, hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, artificial flavors, artificial colors or preservatives. It's not not your typical chip. It's thicker, crunchier and tastes, well, like a potato. It certainly makes a green girl feel less guilty about her snacking. So when I heard that the company has founded Late July Organic Snacks, and that they are hoping to do for sandwich crackers what they did for potato chips in the '80s--well it's worth checking out. One of the first product roll-outs will be a a replacement for those vending machine orange and peanut butter crackers. The difference being that creamy, organic Valencia ground peanut butter and aged, organic cheddar cheese will be sandwiched between their organic Classic Rich Crackers. In the organic food category organic snack foods are the red-hot. Large food companies such as Frito-Lay has emerged as the No. 1 seller of organic snacks. It recently introduced organic Tostitos chips and Doritos. But remember just because it's organic doesn't mean that it's good for the you. Late July's USDA certified organic snacks are available nationally in natural products stores, gourmet stores and supermarkets such as Whole Foods and Wild Oats. The packaging is pretty swell, too.
