| Low-fat mac 'n' cheese makes a winning dinner
In a food popularity contest, macaroni and cheese would be one of the winners. Kraft reports that it sells more than 1 million blue boxes of the stuff every day. But because it's so high in fat and calories, macaroni and cheese wouldn't win a blue ribbon from dietitians. One cup of Kraft macaroni and cheese has 410 calories and 18 fat grams – and those numbers pale in comparison to some made-from-scratch versions. Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse's recipe contains 550 calories and 31 fat grams per cup. That's cold comfort for people who want to eat healthier. But if you make a few adjustments to a typical recipe, you can keep this dish on the dinner table and still lose weight. This recipe is adapted from Cooking Light. Instead of regular macaroni, use Barilla Plus, a multigrain pasta.
Salmonella behind peanut-butter poisoning found
WASHINGTON - Federal inspectors found the strain of salmonella behind a recent food-poisoning outbreak at the ConAgra Foods Inc. plant that made the tainted peanut butter, the Food and Drug Administration said Thursday. Beyond the Sylvester, Ga., plant, the strain also has been isolated from open jars of the company's peanut butter and some of the 370 people who have fallen ill in the outbreak, the FDA said. ConAgra on Feb. 14 recalled all Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter made at the Georgia plant after federal health officials linked the product to an outbreak that began in August. The recall now includes all such products made since December 2005, the FDA said. "The fact that FDA found salmonella in the plant environment further suggests that the contamination likely took place prior to the product reaching consumers," the agency said in a statement.
Schaeffer's Daily Contrarian
First and foremost, "Schaeffer's Daily Contrarian" is not meant as a trade recommendation. These articles and our contrarian interpretation are but a small piece of a much larger analytical puzzle. Gathering anecdotal sentiment from a variety of sources and merging this with hard data is the hallmark of contrarian analysis. Here you get a first-hand account of how to go about this in real time. It's also important to understand that getting a contrarian read from an article is by no means a poor reflection on the publication or its writers. A negative article on a high-flying stock may site accurate facts and be extremely logical. And more importantly, it could ultimately prove to be correct. However, experience has taught us that uptrends do not end until the final capitulation where it seems that everyone has finally given up their concerns.

Manager Bill Stapleton told USA TODAY Friday that Discovery's decision not to renew for a fourth year is connected to Monday's firing of Discovery Network's president Billy Campbell by new Discovery Communications president and CEO David Zaslav. Campbell was the major force behind the company's decision to sponsor the team in 2004 and had pushed the team to sign Italian star and Tour favorite Ivan Basso this year.
Traditional Turkish cuisine served in luxury restaurants
For reasons still unknown, many restaurants in Istanbul will invoke traditional Turkish cuisine during the month of Ramadan. Despite the fact that there are many restaurants that specialize in different kinds of dishes, the number of those considered fine dining serving a variety of dishes is very low. Feriye Restaurant, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, is a special one among these fine dining establishments. Vedat Baaran, the chef and manager of Feriye Restaurant, studied tourism in university and went to Britain in 1984 for his Master's degree. He was impressed by the well-educated people working in London's food sector and decided to study the art of cuisine. While working as an assistant chef on the BBC, a chicken pastry recipe from the Aegean region helped him rediscover his own cuisine culture and guided his interest towards Ottoman and traditional Anatolian cuisine.
