back of the house

I added the Atlantic Food Channel to the blogroll when I learned that Alinea's Grant Achatz was blogging, but I added the overall feed for food sites at the Atlantic, not just the one to his specific blog... which meant that his posts would get pushed off the list of recent updates by other stuff. I've now added a new link just for Achatz and for a couple more food blogs to encourage myself to check them more often.

Among the Achatz posts I missed, was an interesting one about how to deal with treating customers differently.

Farmers and prawn ranchers should be friends

But there are problems
“The local authorities (Village level Peace and Development Council – VPDC) sold the fishing rights at Kyat 3 million. The shrimp farm owners, who acquired the fishing rights of sea water shrimp farming continuously open and close the dyke which protected our paddy fields from saline water. They do this to catch shrimps and prawns. As a result the paddy fields were inundated with sea water damaging all the fields,” a farmer from Pyinsalu told Mizzima.
