Hand-made in Tuscany, the Tuscan Grill is designed for cooking over hardwood and can even be used in a fireplace!
What a neat item - take it outside in the summer and use it in a fire pit; then bring it inside in the winter to keep you warm while filling your home with aromatics from the grill.

GM Beet Sugar
Last year nearly the entire nation's supply of sugar beets was planted using Monsanto's Round Up Ready GM sugar beet seeds. There wasn't a broad industry announcement about this conversion, but rather the change slipped quietly, almost secretly, into fruition. A lawsuit set for April 3rd petitions the court to stop the sale of GM beet seed and require the USDA to conduct a thorough investigation of the safety of these seeds.
Read more on this at The Organic & Non-GMO Report.
A registry exists for companies who pledge to avoid GM beet sugar. If you operate a business and would like to vow not to buy GM beet sugar, I urge you to voice your concern here:
Non-GM Sugar Beet Registry
The more companies that express the desire for non-GMO beet sugar, the more likely there will be beet producers willing to plant the non-GMO seeds. GMO sugar beet crops are being planted close to other types of beets and chard, other plants of the same species, that risk cross-pollination. Cross-pollination presents immediate danger to those farmers planting non-GMO crops near GM sugar beets.

Ice Cream Slows Down
Haagen Dazs gets it. The company's latest new product launch features five flavors of ice cream, each containing only five ingredients. They have cut out all the fluff and kept it simple - ice cream you could churn at your own neighborhood picnic.
Each ice cream starts with the same foundation of milk, cream, sugar, and eggs. The only other ingredient is the flavoring. Nothing artificial. Nothing you couldn't find in a pantry. If you can't churn out your own homeade ice cream to enjoy during movie night, Haagen Dazs "five" might be a good alternative.
Could it be our food industry is listening to what consumers want? Haagen Dazs "five" is a good sign. And a good reason to keep asking for good, clean and fair food.
"Five" new flavors: mint, ginger, coffee, vanilla bean, passion fruit, brown sugar, and chocolate.
