After all the buzz surrounding the Commander-in-Chief's home-brewed beer, the White House recently revealed the recipes for their Honey Ale and Honey Porter. Assistant Chef Sam Kass writes on the White House blog the kitchen was "surprised that the beer turned out so well since none of us had brewed beer before." More

Earlier this week we told you about the frenzy surrounding President Obama's homemade brew.

It's that time of year. Already some kids are back in the classroom and many of us will be sending our children off on Monday or perhaps the following week. Whatever are we going to do with all that extra time? (Just kidding!!) But perhaps you'll have a few extra hours to go back to school and get an edible education. More

What would the world be like if we invested 50% of our assets within 50 miles of where we live?

This intriguing contemplation is one of three questions asked in Slow Money's statement of principles. The other two (what if there were a new generation of companies that gave away 50% of their profits and what if there were 50% more organic matter in our soil 50 years from now?) are equally compelling.
