Behold, the Mount Everest Rushmore of cheese sculptures. Maybe they heard me coming, because the article notes that this cheddar masterpiece will eventually be eaten. (I’ve got dibs on Washington’s schnauze.)

Check out this useful article on extending food shelf life from the increasingly waste-centric food writer China Millman at the Chicago Sun-Times.

Tree Gleaning is part of what I had in mind when I was singing California’s praises the other day. There are groups mapping fruit trees and/or enjoying their bounty in LA, Berkeley and Portland (and, yes, I realize Portland isn’t in Calif.)

Here’s a neat story from Japan: schools in the city of Sapporo have been composting food waste since 2006.

    Jonathan,

    Thanks for all the links. I live in Portland, so I’ll have to check out the gleaner’s group!

    I wrote today about making meals out of random ingredients as a way of using up leftovers. We call it a “Dirt and Buttons” meal in my family.

    I have you on my blogroll.

    The NCA–I think I have a “Dirt and Buttons” family, too. I just didn’t know that’s what it was called (wink). Thanks for your links to my site, I’ve just reciprocated.

    Panda–Yeah, that’s what I meant! (have changed it now, but still alluding to ‘the mount everest of…’ expression)
