I'd be tempted to roll up a scrambled egg and cheese mixture to fill it out a bit more.

Another vote for the Berkeley Bowl. It's like a bottomless pit of things I didn't even know I needed. Just last month I actually looked at the chilled case near the bulk food weigh station and discovered they stock almond meal. Last week I discovered rose petals! And don't get me started about the people who work at the bulk food weigh station. They can differentiate between identical beige powders perfectly every time, in a fraction of a second. But really, the reason we're here is THE PRODUCE. Added bonus: the whole store is so reasonably priced.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is this lumping Smarties in with Necco wafers? One is awesome, the other repulsive. The more Smarties, the better, is my halloween motto.

@worldcupfever: Hanging Gardens of Babylon... Switzerland.

The first problem with the ads is that they're anti-intellectual, I agree, but I think it's the gender stereotyping that make them anti-feminist. The comments on the Feministing post are interesting.

I got through to the reservations desk by dialing a few seconds before 10 a.m. so that the call would connect at 10 precisely. And even then the earliest seating was booked when they got to me.

El Paso. Word.

And then the novice can graduate to poached eggs instead and discover a whole new variety of heaven. :-)

I buy local because I like feeling in touch with the seasonal changes around me and in touch with the people who grow my food. The environmental benefits are secondary, and from the Observer article, it sounds like much of the negative environmental impact comes from buying local out-of-season items. Eat seasonally.

Environmental impacts will vary from food item to food item; for people looking for a rubric by which they might shop to minimize impact without researching every ingredient, local's pretty good. (Though I do appreciate that giving up meat & dairy would be better!)
