| Splenda vs. Equal: Battle of the Brands
This post is part of our Battle of the Brands feature. Let us know which brand you prefer, and check out other Battle of the Brands posts. I never paid that much attention to the pink and yellow and blue packets on the table when my wife and I go out for breakfast a couple of times a week. I'm not a consumer of artificial sweeteners, so when I learned that we wanted to add one more match-up to our Battle of the Brands feature, this one focusing on Splenda and Equal, and that it was going to be up to me pull it together, I thought: Oh boy, what am I going to have to say about that? But I've never been one to pass up an opportunity to learn something new. I began with what I did know, which wasn't much: the makers of Splenda and Equal were in the news recently -- something about misleading advertising and sour grapes.

Celebrating Yom Ha’atzmaut- online
On Monday, April 23, the fifth day of the month of Iyar, Israelis will celebrate as their country begins its 60th year of independence. Even if you aren't lucky enough to be in Israel, you can feel just a bit closer thanks to the Internet.

Those sound like fighting words coming from Daniel Rogov, one of the country's premier food writers. Actually the restaurant and wine critic for Ha'aretz is a passionate advocate of the country's cooking. He writes that Israelis are fortunate to be able to choose from foods from so many diverse ethnic origins. I particularly enjoyed his essays on Five Thousand Years of Culinary History and Dining on Street Food.
