Dr. Sanjay Gupta of CNN reports here on hunger. His article starts with the horrifying Somalian famine, then moves onto hunger in America. He points out that many people in the U. S. do not earn enough from jobs to feed their family. He urges everyone to make better use of this nation's bountiful harvest and throw away less food. He also urges businesses to donate food and points to law that protects them from liability.
I recently posted on my annual peach preserve canning process. All the peaches I bought---two half-bushel boxes---were seconds with cosmetic blemishes. They cost about half as much as the first-grade peaches that end up in the supermarket produce section. The preserves I made from them were delicious and healthy, not to mention considerably cheaper than manufactured preserves with much less flavor.
Luella's is a nouvelle BBQ outfit on the north side of Asheville. It is nestled among the trees in a lovely neighborhood. The restaurant has lots of windows for inside seating and plenty of outside seating. Service was courteous and amazingly fast. This is a combination plate with pork and brisket. Both were very moist and tender. For the pork, I tried both the mild and hot vinegar sauces. To my surprise, I preferred the milder one because it didn't assert itself too much. I enjoyed the spicy tomato sauce for my brisket. The hushpuppies were very good. The fried okra was fresh out of the fryer and excellent. The slaw was of the vinegary variety, which I usually enjoy, but this version is heavy on the white stuff and didn't have quite enough variety in tastes for me.
