Philadelphia Cream Cheese might not have been invented here, but since it bears our name, we like to keep informed about its, er, evolution. That's why we were happy to read that they recently came out with two new flavors: Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil, and Spinach and Artichoke. It's not exactly hard news, but bagel fans take their toppings very seriously, even if cream cheese isn't the healthiest condiment around. Read a review at Yumsugar and visit the Philadelphia Cream Cheese web site here. And remember that, although times are tough and the world is a crazy place, at least Philadelphia Cream Cheese has its own web site.

I'm Jewish, so Fat Tuesday was never anything but a holiday to me. I knew that it kicked off Lent, but seeing as I'm not supposed to give anything up for the next forty days (instead, I'll spend a week in April when God puts me on the Atkins Diet), the significance of the holiday that many of us will celebrate tonight (pass the beads, please!) has always been lost on me. As has the meaning of its name.

Philly tastes better!

I don't eat eggs (unless they're in a cake or something), so that limits my breakfast options quite a bit. It also forces me to be creative. I created this hash using chickpeas (garbanzo beans) because they're higher in protein than potatoes, thus making me feel better about the fact that I'm not topping it with eggs. Beware, though: chickpeas are also more caloric and higher in carbs than potatoes, so you'll want a smaller serving than you'd get with ordinary potato hash. That's why I put lots of fresh veggies in the recipe – better for you per bite, and no less delicious.
