Corn prices making Coke gulp
"Coca-Cola may investigate alternatives to high fructose corn syrup, its main sweetener in the U.S. market, because of high corn prices, a company executive said Monday."
Okay, I mostly drink Diet Coke anyway. But I did have the occasonal bottle of cane sugar coke in Doha, and have been known to do the same in Canada.
It's funny. In a year in the Middle East, I got used to not having stuff with HFCS in it. Now, I'm finding a lot of food here in the US tastes too sweet and cloying

Sunday Little Bit and I stopped at the Eagle Rock Mall.
And I discovered a Jolilbee's
The camera in my cell phone didn't work like I wanted it to, I tried to get a picture of Little Bit with the mascot. Oh well.
May have to go back there for a yumburger or burger steak

With my idiot namesake's day coming up on the 17th, I figure I should give a recipe appropriate for the day
Vegan Colcanon
* 2 medium potatoes, scrubbed
* 1 cup kale, stems removed and coarsely chopped
* 2/3 cup low-fat soymilk
* 3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
* salt and pepper to taste
Cut potatoes into large chunks. Add to a medium saucepan with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat cook until tender when pierced with a fork—about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, add about one inch of water to a medium saucepan. Insert steamer basket, bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer. Add kale, cover, and steam for about 4 minutes. Remove kale and place in a mixing bowl.
Once potatoes are cooked, peel and add to kale.
In a small skillet, heat the soymilk and scallions, and simmer 5 minutes. Add to potatoes and kale and mash together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
