Best things I read this week, March 11-17

Ya gotta read a lot if you want to write a little. Here are some of the best things I read this past week:

"As I lay in my dormitory bed, tossing under the sheets, the flavor that filled my mind was that of cilantro, sweet and pungent. Suddenly, one morning, I awoke longing to cram fistfuls of the stuff, fresh, into my mouth."

"I Feared You, Cilantro, and Now I Love You Too Much"

from Gilt Taste (@GiltTaste)

"Our woods were lovely, dark and deep
A landscape we'd made promises to keep. 
Until we deemed the price too steep."

"Activist and Poet Pens Ode to Warn of Perils of Climate Change"

from Treehugger (@TreeHugger)

"Changing school nutrition one carrot at a time," an interview with Chef Allison Sosna about her work with school nutrition in Washington, D.C.
from D.C. Central Kitchen (@dcck)

Adventures of a Koodie: restaurant reviews and food adventures from a 10-year-old that loves to eat and try new things. Both adorable and insightful at the same time.

Bonus: the best thing I saw this week:
