Like my momma used to say, "You almost always get what you pay for ..."

US health officials are checking shipments of toothpaste from China for a potentially lethal chemical.

Fifty people in Panama died from mislabelled food ingredients from China and why didn't we hear about it?! This article makes me glad that I buy Yankee-made toothpaste, but I wish I had some way to determine the origins of all the ingredients in my food. Unfortunately, I just don't have time to make all my own foods from raw, local ingredients. Things like pasta, mustard, and chocolate chips have to come pre-made from the grocery store. :(

Pasta isn't actually that hard if you can get the right kind of flour for it. A tiny bit time consuming and a little bit more expensive than getting the premade stuff. Also you'd probably need a pasta machine or attachment to your mixer.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
