Breakfast Twinkie

At first I thought this product might be a joke but alas Bagel-fuls, frozen bagels which come stuffed with Philadelphia cream cheese, are real. Hostess must be pretty pissed off at Kraft right now for stealing the Twinkie idea and turning it on its head: it went from being a dessert item (last meal of the day) to a breakfast item (first meal of the day). This gives the New Testament idea of "The last shall be first" brand new meaning.

I for one will never be caught eating one of these food-like (its not food) products, that is unless the apocalypse or something similar has happened.

Lucy's Greenmarket Report

I'm trying to eat simpler these days and I am trying to live by the creed of "If my great-grandmother wouldn't recognize it as food, I'm not buying/eating it." To that end, I like to get my food direct from the source with as few additives as possible. Organic is good. Its not the be all end all but its better than the alternatives most of the time.

If you are ever wondering what is going on in the Union Square Greenmarket, you don't need to leave your apartment and go there. Instead, you can check out Lucy Wollin's report, something she has been writing since 1993. I only just learned of it but as its something that our city's chefs and restaurateurs pay attention to, I'm going to pay attention to it as well.
