Cornering the market on Cocoa?

AmareF — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:18:07 +0000

I wonder what the life span on cocoa is before it goes bad. Anthony Ward, a British financer, just bought 241,000 tons of cocoa; which is the equivalent to all the cocoa in Europe. It seems like he is intending to make the price of cocoa rise since he owns such a large share of it, and thereby earning a return on his investment.

Help. My college age daughter has gone vegan on me. I am trying to honor her choice by cooking with her every Sunday. I found a great miso pesto recipe here. Can anyone recommend some good recipes for both vegans and non-vegans to enjoy together.

Fresh vegetables going bad

Help, my vegetables bought fresh from the farmers market keep going bad. I keep them in the plastic bags and in the refrigerator. Why are my fresh vegetables rotting so quickly? Are the farmers selling old veg as new?

My kid’s class is doing their annual camping trip and I have volunteered to bring a salad. I’d like it to be a salad that I can prepare at home in the morning, or the night before, and serve in the evening.
