These are great ideas, thanks - I esp. like making the salt with it. And to clarify, the matcha powder isn't jasmine; that was my "concern" as I usually only drink jasmine green tea. What Can I Do With Jasmine Matcha? Ingredient Questions |

To answer an earlier question, yes this is the same coconut oil that caused eyebrows to be raised when people learned how fat-ful their movie popcorn was. Whether or not you think coconut oil is healthy is beside the point - it was more that movie popcorn, at least back just a few years ago before the studies came out, seemed like a lower fat/lower calorie choice when at the movie theatre snack counter.

"That knobbly head of celeriac (celery root) had been languishing for over a week, and it was high time to put it to use" HaHaha! Celeriac is a great storage crop, I have several pounds languishing in the bottom of my vegetable drawer and its been over 2 months. I always think they will take too much time to peel but you're right, its really not tough skin and peeling is pretty quick. Recipe: Quick Celery Root Salad with Capers and Lemon |

Interesting article, and the mention of Vik Muniz's "Wasteland" movie led me to the trailer to check it out - looks amazing and seems like it deserves wider publicity. Occupy Wall Street Meets the Art Market Design News 11.30.11 |

YoNella, you would not want to cook the quinoa first, because this granola recipe is for a dry product that you can store in a jar. If you cooked it in liquid or soaked it (or any of the other ingredients, like the oats) you would be inviting spoilage. She is adding it raw - a little unusual but not unheard of. I would guess that perhaps a tablespoon or two at the most, for a little crunch. I want to mention that quinoa purchased in North America typically has its natural coating of bitter saponins removed, but if you live elsewhere then do check - you would not want to eat it raw in that state.

We used to have fun dropping a raisin in a bottle and watching it go up and down, up and down...the bubbles bring it to the top, then enough pop for it to sink the raisin, until it it gathers bubbles enough.....OK, so maybe it was how you kept the kids occupied while you did better things with champagne.

If I were wanting to give money as a gift, say to young newlyweds or college grad, etc, but wanted it to have a bit more 'heart', I would make a Kiva loan in their name. With a 98% re-pay rate, your money has done great good to someone truly disadvantaged, then when its repaid your gift recipients can choose to withdraw the money or re-loan - it's a win-win.
