This is hospital food?
Fruit cocktail isn't cutting it anymore. Neither are the salisbury steak and boiled peas.
Hospital patients have made it clear -- if they're going to have to eat food off of a plastic tray, it better not taste like one.
Perhaps the fastest way to solve that problem is with a chef -- not a food service manager, but a bonafide bechamel-sauce making chef.
That's exactly what happened at Bailey Medical Center in Owasso. Before the hospital was even constructed, officials decided that food would be a priority, and that Ryan Woodward would be the one to make that happen.
Woodward, fresh off a management position at Pei Wei, was hired as the dietary and catering manager at the hospital. His first responsibility? Hire a chef. Woodward talked to Barry Rashford, then executive chef at the Doubletree Hotel Downtown, about coming to Bailey.
Comfort foods for trying times
No matter how old your child, school tragedies like the Virginia Tech shootings make every parent stop and wish they could give their kid a hug. Or a plateful of something really delicious and comforting that says without words just how much we love them. My mother tried to smooth over life's bumps by making big pots of corn chowder for me. I remember coming home from an appendectomy in just miserable shape and, as I hobbled to the dining room table, a steaming hot bowl of chowder was waiting. Years later, after 9-11, I found myself in the kitchen trying to dish up all sorts of cozy dishes for a third-grader trying to sort out why life had suddenly taken such a chilling, violent turn. What sort of foods do you serve, or wish were served to you, when times suddenly get somber and rough? By the way, here's my mother's corn chowder recipe.

St George's Day Bank Holiday Takes Shape at Interflora.co.uk
In recent years there's been a revival in the celebration of St George's Day with many brewers and public houses campaigning for the day to become a Bank Holiday with celebrations along the same lines as St Patrick's Day. (PRWEB) April 19, 2007 -- Despite him being England's patron saint for almost the last 600 years, there's no official Bank Holiday to mark St. George's Day and very little is actually known about the real St George and why we'll be celebrating him on April 23rd. Although Interflora cannot enact a Bank Holiday for the celebration of St George's Day, they have put together a selection of their favourite gifts; including bouquets of roses, the flower traditionally worn as a buttonhole on St. George's Day, plus a fine selection of gourmet gifts ideal for any celebration.
