Live from Colorado

We're in Vail working on the Vail Film Festival this week. The food in this town SUCKS (and our diets primarily consist of junk food and takeout while we're here, anyway) so don't expect too many rave restaurant reviews. But the inn that we're staying in used to be a gourmet cooking school, so I think there may be a very large group dinner in our near future...

In the meantime, check out these two new SuperCool links we found!

The first, from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, is called SeafoodWatch and is a GREAT guide for how an environmentally-conscious carnivore should approach buying seafood. It includes information on sustainability and fishing practices, health concerns and even recipe substitutions. If you haven't seen this before, we HIGHLY recommend checking it out -- it's cool stuff.

The second is StillTasty and it's a fun reference for shelf life and food safety information. If you're wondering what is the best way to store that loaf of fresh-baked bread, or how closely you need to observe the expiration dates on that jar of capers, this site is an easy-to-use guide for all questions of food storage.

Enjoy!
