Discovering the Subtle Flavor of Forbidden Rice
The folks at Lotus Foods recently sent a few samples of their exotic rice. The company specializes in handcrafted rice from small family farms in remote areas of the world, and it has marketed several heirloom rice varieties that may otherwise have become extinct. It also works closely with the small family farms in order to provide them with an "honorable living."

Food Review: Amy's Brown Rice, Black-Eyed Peas & Veggies Bowl
In a pinch, I'm a big fan of frozen meals from Amy's Kitchen, and I particularly like the "bowls." I always keep a few in my freezer just in case I don't have time to make lunch. While the Country Cheddar Bowl is my favorite, I also like the Stuffed Pasta Shells.

Umbrellas Are A Must At Frost's Summer Party
Sir David Frost held his annual Summer Party in London yesterday, but sadly the sun didn't shine for it. That didn't stop some of the female guests baring their legs though, Lisa Snowdon looked very Summer appropriate in her floral dress, and Anneka Rice wore a fab bright orange dress with the must-have accessory of the party – the umbrella! Ronnie Corbett managed to look even shorter than usual as he stood underneath an enormous brolly, while Alan Whicker stood looking a little bewildered as his turned inside out.
Kashi Entrées: Black Bean Mango
I recently tried a new flavor of the frozen entrées from Kashi (they're the company that makes those TLC Chewy Granola Bars I love). I loved the Pesto Pasta Primavera so much, and was excited to try another vegetarian option - Black Bean Mango.
As with all of Kashi's products, I was impressed that I could pronounce every ingredient on the list, and they were all things I've heard of like canola oil, ginger, cilantro, and garlic.
Sunday Dinner: Black-Eyed Peas With Pork and Greens
Pork chops may be filling and healthful, but because they're a leaner cut, they aren't always full of flavor.
To keep your taste buds dancing, incorporate the other white meat into a classic Southern staple that's got major sass: the Hoppin' John.
A medley of black-eyed peas, brown rice, kale, and pork come together with the help of tomato, broth, vinegar, and paprika.
