As we sit here this Friday awaiting the arrival over the weekend of Irene, of course my thoughts turn to food. If we think of Irene as a weekend guest (although she’s rather unwelcome), I’d be thinking about how to feed her. Of course, in general we want to spend time with our guests and not in the kitchen, so simpler is better and there is much that’s simpler to cook than fish.

I know it’s not Friday but I had a thought about eating – or maybe about NOT eating – I want to share. Actually, as I think about it, maybe this is more about rasing your kids than it is food. I’ll let you decide. I do know it’s about business too!

I have a food question for you to end the week. What do blueberries, salmon, and walnuts have in common? No, they’re not the ingredients to some fabulous new dish I’ve concocted. They’re among the top foods which some nutritionists call “superfoods.” The reason they’re labelled this way is that they are among the foods that contain high amounts of some substances – phytonutrients for those of you needing a big word for a crossword puzzle – that might just confer a bunch of health benefits. Blueberries, for example, have a ton of antioxidants, phytoflavinoids, potassium and vitamin C, which people who know about this stuff say lower your risk of heart disease and cancer and are also anti-inflammatory. Impressive little guys!
