Some notes
Sunday, April 26th, 2009Cheese find: Whole Foods on Ponce de Leon was selling Parrano for only $9.49 a pound today. That’s less than half what I’ve seen it usually priced around town. It’s great with the organic Fuji apples, my obsession, that are on sale at Kroger for $1.69 a pound….

Nick Setty writes to recommend the new Cuban Diner in Marietta. It’s getting positive reviews on Yelp….

We would choose the SOLE-est products available — that is, the sustainable, organic, local or ethical alternative. We would start from a bare pantry, shop only at places that took food stamps and could be reached on foot, and use only basic appliances. The test would mean some painful changes; gone was my husband’s customary breakfast of Honey Nut Cheerios and our favorite dinner of pepperoni pizza. But it would answer that nagging question: When shopping for food, did I have to choose between my budget and my beliefs?…
Sex and McDonald’s: I recently wrote a post about two Domino’s employees who posted a YouTube video of themselves having unsanitary fun with a sandwich one of them was making. While looking for background information about it, I found an incredible story about a video of the sexual assault of an 18-year-old McDonald’s employee by co-workers that was broadcast by ABC and is now on the Internet too.
