When my dad was a teenager, he spent two years living in Japan, fully immersed in the local culture. Luckily for me, the culinary traditions made a lasting impact on him, so meals at our house were often punctuated by Japanese staples: rice, seaweed, umeboshi plums. Perhaps the most versatile Japanese export consumed at our house was miso, a thick, salty-sweet fermented paste typically made from soybeans (though it can also be made with barley, rice, or other grains).

A round-up of VT editors’ favorite links this week: Celeb chef Tal Ronnen will open a new vegan restaurant in Los Angeles next month! (He's the guy who whipped up Oprah's three-week vegan cleanse menu.) Expect Mediterranean-inspired small plates paired with "farm-to-glass" cocktails. And maybe this scrumptious-sounding beet-and-tofu tempura he described in a 2010 VT interview? Fingers crossed.
January is prime time for reinventing ourselves. New year, new me: sounds simple, right? This year, I resolved to eat cleaner—and less, exercise more, kick caffeine, read more books (OK, read more e-books), and floss every day. Piece of cake, right? Yet by mid-month (just about now) my willpower starts to flicker and I fear my New Year's resolutions are about to get kicked to curb like a dried out Christmas tree. Circa Valentine’s, I might be right back to inhaling Hershey Kisses to make it through an afternoon slump. Couldn't we all use a little help making our resolutions stick?

Planting seedlings in the garden is fun. Dealing with the resulting pile of unrecyclable black plastic containers? Not so much. I have trouble bringing myself to throw plastic away, so the containers stack up in my garden shed until I have a chance to take them back to my favorite local nursery, where they're reused. Luckily, things are changing. Many nursery operations, and even big box stores, are turning away from plastic and toward biodegradable containers. The containers are made from a wide range of materials, including recycled paper, cow manure, wood pulp, rice hulls, and coir (coconut fiber), and they quickly decompose in a compost pile.
