There is only one Burmese restaurant that I know of in Philadelphia, owned by three women who came to Philadelphia from Burma years ago. Kriti and I went a few months ago with our kitchen staff and had a great time sitting and talking about their country and all the delicious food. We loved everything, specifically the delicious papaya salad. As soon as I ate it I wanted to figure out how to make it for myself. I've since been lucky enough to learn a version and so I wanted to share the recipe and also quickly share about a group of people who have become very special to me.

Pure Knowledge-- Happy birthday to our big idea!

If you’ve spent as much time watching late night TV as we at Pure Fare have, you might have been tempted to purchase a few “made for TV” products. The knife that can cut through PVC pipe? Check! The food dehydrator (who doesn't want homemade jerky and fruit rollups?) Check! This year’s Snuggie, the Forever Lazy (because who can fuss with pulling on pants AND a shirt?) Check!

"The administration concluded that “in the end, the label was going to be confusing, because those things would be included out of context, and it could make unhealthy foods appear like they had some redeeming quality,” said an official who was not authorized to discuss the talks and spoke on condition of anonymity. For example, the official said, “ice cream would be deemed healthy because it would have calcium in it.”
