...love to eat well, and I make a mean meat loaf, but I don't always feel like playing Julia Child. So when I heard about the launch of a new website called FiveLeaf.com which features entrees from top chefs around the country, I was intrigued. On your behalf, I decided to taste-test FiveLeaf against the more established Impromptu Gourmet.com Both offer complete gourmet meals that take about half an hour to throw together.

The legal trade is estimated at about $100 million a year - a figure believed to have been dwarfed at least 10 or 12 times over in recent years by the illegal catch in the four former Soviet republics...
Later on, as I looked back upon a day in which I had awoke with a vicious hangover, traveled across state lines to exploit lax gun laws, dulled my senses by firing many absurdly big and loud guns and, finally, sated my animal hunger with bloody meat, I could not help but think that, for one day, I had lived the American dream.
