These creative Thanksgiving inspired ice cream flavors sound so delicious! http://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-salt-straw-thanksgiving-ice-cream-20141114-story.html

An interesting, quick read on the US seafood market. Good reminder of why it's important to support local fisheries and eat fish when it's in season. (Good news--it's salmon season!!) http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/07/01/327248504/the-great-fish-swap-how-america-is-downgrading-its-seafood-supply?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20140701
