Ethical dilemmas

A few weeks ago, my good friend KJ asked me if I’d be interested in writing a review of 600lb. Gorillas cookies, a product sold by friends of hers who had started their own small company several years back.

This was a new thing for me. Unlike many food bloggers, I neither seek out nor generally receive unsolicited requests for product reviews. So I (perhaps naively) didn’t really think about it in commercial terms, but more in terms of helping out a friend of a friend. I said I would, provided that the producers were prepared for an honest review of their product that might not be favorable. KJ replied that they wouldn’t expect anything else, and I confirmed my agreement.

Happy Fourth


Wishing all my fellow USians a very happy and safe Fourth of July! And, just in case you're still dithering about what to bring to the BBQ, a few suggestions for cookout-friendly food....

Appetizers
- Devilled eggs
- Tomato salsa
- Sundried tomato dip

Sides
- Croatian coleslaw
- Too hot to cook salad
- Grilled zucchini salad

Desserts
- Apple pie
- Congo bars
- Chocolate cake

And don't forget a nice big glass of chilled sangria to wash it all down. Just don't drink and light fireworks is all I ask.
