Hot Sake - Food News You Can Use

- Potential 2008 contender for hip new ingredient, Kid Goat gets the Sunday Magazine treatment.
- For the Aspen Food & Wine festival you have two main choices – the horses mouth or Eater, you decide. Look for plenty of updates Monday as the day ticks by.
- The DiFara drought continues, week 3 begins now.
- Regina Schambling has a hypothesis as to what shut East Village institution Kurowycky’s a few weeks back, but due to the design on her site we can't really link to it. You can though go here and look for the (currently) fourth entry down. She also has some thoughts about this illuminating May article from the WSJ about the alternative foods – scraps really of waste candy, trail mix, ramen noodles - pigs are eating now that ethanol is making feed corn more expensive – search ethanol on her site .
- Seattle considers a ban on microwave popcorn, in a related note popcorn buttons on cheap microwaves are unreliable since they use a timer and not a humidity sensor.
- June is National Fruit and Vegetable Month, now go see Lucy's Greenmarket Report and scout out some choices from the city's best farmers.
- Seems our pal Pim got ripped off by some blogger who wishes to be able to go the fantastic places Pim visits, reports on and photographs for the benefit of all who are wise enough to bookmark her. On a side note check her post from Rias de Galicia in Barcelona, almost the exact experience we had at Rafa's in Roses, but it was a different high profile (at least in Spain) chef.
