DC-area stores take one house brand off the shelves and offer refunds.
Trader Joe’s corporate officials say they are acting “out of an abundance of caution” and ordering the recall of one type of its house brand peanut butter over salmonella concerns. “Trader Joe’s Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter” should not be eaten, the Monrovia-based specialty grocery chain said to City News Service, a southern California based wire service. “We have no confirmed information that suggests this peanut butter is unsafe to eat,” the company stated to City News Service. But the food should not be eaten “pending health-related inquiries.” Trader Joe’s has several locations in the area, including Chevy Chase, Silver Spring and Foggy Bottom. In advance of this recall, Trader Joe’s removed the product from all store shelves. …

Are you sad to see the Olympics go? What did you think of the closing ceremony?
The 2012 Summer Olympics officially ended last night with memorable performances from The Who, George Michael and of course, a Spice Girls reunion. Olympians have returned home – some, like Bethesda swimmer Katie Ledecky, with gold medals. Other Montgomery County Olympians, like rhythmic gymnast Julie Zetlin and Darnestown kayaker Caroline Queen, may not have taken home a medal, but they still made Olympic history in their own ways. Zetlin, another Bethesda native, was the first U.S. rhythmic athlete to compete at the Olympics since 2004 and the only American in this year’s competition. Queen wrote in a personal essay that though she wished she had finished better, she was still honored to compete in the games. Overall the U.S. had a …

At the Bethesda Central Farm Market, inspiring people are living their dreams.
Do you have a secret dream percolating on the backburner? If so, take some inspiration from the Bethesda Central Farm Market, where vendors, through selling local produce, beef and even coffee, are living their dreams. Bethesda Central Farm Market is small compared to some other farmers’ markets in Montgomery County, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in personality and diverse products. Sandra Miller, for example, is a dynamic woman who owns Painted Hands Farm. Miller used to work in industry, but 10 years ago decided to buy her own farm. She said she found her previous work very interesting, but felt that by doing that work she was contributing to the problem. Now, she feels she is contributing to the solution, because people …

Some worried code will affect open atmosphere of the downtown Bethesda restaurant scene.
The atmosphere of the downtown Bethesda restaurant scene may be affected by a state health code that requires restaurants to screen or close their windows, some restaurant managers say. The state health code, which is enforced by county health officials and based on a federal regulation, requires the screening in order to "eliminate rodents, flies, roaches, and other vermin from the building." It's not new, but it first came to the attention of the downtown Bethesda restaurant community as the American Tap Room was getting ready to open last month, according to Ken Hartman, director of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center. Like many other restaurants in downtown Bethesda, along with downtown Rockville and Silver Spring, the …
