My first two videos with wetoku.com

fried egg on a pizza?

It’s been a while since I’ve added any recipes or food ideas to the blog, so I thought this week would be a great week to catch you guys up on some of the eats around Casa de Blundell.

UPDATE 9/9/09 :: Chipotle has reached an agreement with the CIW famers.

A couple weeks back we talked with Amanda Kloer on our podcast. She shared a lot about the issue of human trafficking and modern day slavery. And in the process we talked about an article she had posted earlier that day regarding Chipotle and the rights of farmers in Florida.

This time I had a brief exchange over email so here’s the latest from Chipotle:
