I'm a few spin cycles behind in reading my whacked-out diva RSS feed, but I just got whiff of this and wanted to tell you that I've got a few things in common with Sarah Palin. First off, we were born on the same day, one year apart. Second off, you can pay to have dinner with her and you can pay to have dinner with me. Our prices are as far apart as I could be from Palin's politics. Read more

Meet me at The Grand for a Food, Inc. conversation on Sunday
I'll lead a post-movie discussion on Suday

First you should read Soren Andersen's review of "Food, Inc.," a South Sound Eats exclusive. Then you should attend Sunday's 7 p.m. screening at The Grand Cinema in Tacoma. Afterward, I'll lead a discussion of the documentary that probes the ugly side of industrial food production in America. To sweeten the deal, I'll serve vegan and gluten-free sweets from Corina Bakery. The weeklong engagement of "Food, Inc." is a fund-raiser for the Tacoma Food Coop: $1 from every ticket sold will go the budding grocery store effort.
