...smoked lamb loin, the house specialty, wafts rosemary from the tender, pink servings. The rosemary releases into smokiness, which then leads to pure lamb, somehow more intense and purer after its opening of herbs. The butternut squash pudding and black barley are fairly boring on their own, but the subtle sweetness and nuttiness compliment the lamb. The meal is masterfully planned. It’s worth trusting the chef, and combining the parts all in one forkful...

But the empty boulevard carried us in efficient quietness...
...University of Toronto describe an experiment that compared three different regimens: a vegetarian diet low in saturated fats; the same diet supplemented with a statin drug (in this case, lovastatin); and a fiber-rich vegetarian diet consisting of foods chosen for their known cholesterol-lowering effects (such as oats, barley, soy protein and almonds) as well as a type of margarine enriched with plant sterols (cholesterol-lowering compounds found naturally in leafy green vegetables and vegetable oils...
