Burma Catastrophe Assistance

I've been watching the sad news of the cyclone devastation in Burma over the past few days and am appalled at the Burmese government's actions of preventing international aid from helping the millions of people affected. The United Nations Security Council can pass a resolution to pressure the Burmese military regime to do the right thing and accept international aid. I sent an email to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon today urging him to make sure that this resolution goes through - you can easily send an email as well. Please click here to do so now! Also, the people of Burma are in dire need of clean drinking water. The organization Thirst Aid is on the ground in Burma right now providing that water, but they need your financial support. I just made a donation and you can too, by clicking here. (The Paypal link in the text appears to be broken, but the "Donate" button on the top left of the page works.) Please give if you can.

Food Rockz Man

I'm a thirty-something guy living, eating and cooking for fun in Washington, DC. I'll be writing regularly about my appreciation for locally grown/produced food and the chefs/home cooks who use it . . . and other delicious food too. All photos on the blog were taken by yours truly, unless otherwise noted. As a general matter, out of respect for the creators and for copyright reasons, I don't reprint the published recipes of others. The recipes detailed here are mine and those of family and friends who give me permission to blog them. I can be reached at foodrockzman(at)foodrockz.com.
