July 2008 The Paige Turner: Green Your Television
Paige Wolf Media & Public Relations Newsletter
There are plenty of people who want to "kill their television." I am not one of them. I love Lost, The Office, and a few rather embarrassing reality shows (Flavor of Love, anyone?)

But summers are tragic for television, even with 300+ channels. So when I heard about the arrival of the Planet Green network I was thrilled with the prospect of 24-7 eco-tips. Now I am having a serious love affair with this channel. There is nothing I don't want to watch, and I am learning way more from these programs than reruns of Diff'rent Strokes (though you shouldn't underestimate the advice of never hitchhiking in New York City).

In less than an hour I was informed why I should be drinking shade-grown coffee, how to compost with a box of worms, and that the most eco-friendly toilet on the market requires no paper products (admit you are totally curious).

Anyway, this newsletter comes a bit early this month, as I leave for a much-needed vacation. But plan on lots of great news later this summer, including an all- organic online beauty store and a local eco-friendly home and gift store.

Off to see the green lands and the blue seas,
Paige

Vegetarian Paradise at Palace at the Ben
 
Indian food always has been a paradise for vegetarians and Palace at the Ben is an absolute veggie nirvana.

Herbavores can enjoy the vegetarian version of Traditional Thali with five small dishes, Naan and condiments such as Papadam (lentil flat breads) and Raita (cucumber and yogurt with mint), plus plenty of Naan (flatbread), Basmati Rice, and Daal Makhani (a dip made from seven verity of lentils). Other non-meat entres include: Aloo Gobhi (fresh cauliflower and potatoes seasoned with Indian spices, onions, green peas, and tomatoes), fresh Panir (house-made cheese), Navratan Korma (nine garden fresh vegetables simmered in a coconut spice-laced cream sauce with nuts), Chana Masala (chick peas and fresh tomatoes cooked in traditional spices), vegetable samosas, vegetable Biryani, and more.

Palace at the Ben has also opened up outdoor seating, perfect for summer cocktails and a relaxing al fresco dining experience. And the first series of cooking classes sold out so fast, they'll certainly be scheduling more for the future.
