Hunters Were the First Locavores
might be? probably. I doubt there are any hunters that just leave the meat in the woods.

Hunters Were the First Locavores
First off, I am not a hunter.
Is there a difference between hunting for sport and for food? I don't think there is.I believe all the meat is used when one hunts for "sport".
Sport hunting is part of wildlife management.
Last month's National Geographic had an excellent article about how hunters are actually land and wildlife conservationists.

perhaps try later in the evening when the oven is hotter.
Mario Unclogged: Marinara Sauce
ok here is my take on a basic tomato sauce.
Open 2 cans of San Marzano tomatoes and drain the excess water, not the packing juice/puree. Pass the tomatoes and juice through a food mill and put it aside.
Saute about 1/2 cup onions in extra virgin olive oil for a few minutes
Add the tomatoes, handful of fresh basil and salt.
Bring to a boil, boil for 5 mins.
Lower to simmer for about 40mins. Add fresh basil again during the last 10 minutes.
Optional: brown pork before adding the onions.

I believe the San Marzano tomatoes in the picture are grown in the US.
How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
Here is what I do to help minimize the smoke and cleanup when using a cast iron grill pan indoors.
I add kosher salt between the ridges of the grill. The salt catches the grease and helps prevent smoke while still creating grill marks.
Another tip is to start the indoor grill on the stove top to get the grill marked and then finish it in the oven.

Add my "NO" to the George Foreman grill. It's okay for some hotdogs, but definitely no good for steaks. I don't even want to tell you about the grey, steamed NY sirloin that was ruined by the GF grill...it's just too painful.
Anywho, my experiences with the indoor, stove top, grill pans, like you see used on the FN, produce copious amounts of smoke. Good grill marks, good color and flavor, but lots of smoke. The advice above to finish cooking in the oven is smart, but handling a hot grill pan doesn't sound like fun. So if you have a poor vent/hood, I would skip it and go to the park with a little Smokey Joe or mini-Weber.

I'll use my George Foreman for fajita chicken, but that's basically it. I wouldn't put red meat on it, definitely not hot enough and you miss that smoky flavor and charring! I'm in a similar situation, and have been grilled food-free so far this summer :( except for occasional visits to the parents'. Maybe I'll have to invest in one of those grill pans, except I have a stupid electric stove, will it work okay?
How do you grill when you don't have a grill?
Go to a park where grills are available to all.

So, essentially, if you're into the *flavor* of grilling, e.g., kiawe, mesquite, charcoal, versus form, you're SOL w/o an outdoor grill or hibachi. :(

love love the Delonghi indoor healthy grill... I bought the one with the glass cover though, to retain moisture (avoid the smoke alarm) and cook faster. I did a lot of research first... glad i bought it. Paid $79 Amazon or Macys.

Ravara: Wut wut wut?!!! Of COURSE I have it! I've turned too many people on to Super Marzano not to have it Yes, yes, it's not technically San Marzano, it's better.....it's SUPER Marzano! Come on out to my tomato seedling sale and pick some up. I've always got a lot of Super Marzanos for peeps. www.GrowBetterVeggies.com
Does this constitute spam? Forgive me if so. Just trying to spread the tomato love....
Mario Unclogged: Marinara Sauce
In case anyone who might benefit sees this, I agree with gmunger that I'm sad to see Mario, who has seen the joys of California produce, claim you can't get good San Marzano tomatoes in the US. I assure you that Mariquita and twosmallfarms dot com have fabulous San Marzanos for cooking- they suck for raw stuff, they are TOO low acid, but holy jeez cooked.. Love Apple Farms doesn't have it on their grow list this season- http://loveapplefarm.typepad.com/growbetterveggies/love-apple-farms-2008-tom.html but I bet Cynthia can tell you something good...
Bertucci's
Bertucci's has become a chain, devoid of its original calling and, as mentioned in the article, expanded way too fast for its own good. By now, the Flatbread Pizza Co. has taken what Bertucci's used to be known for and beaten them at their own game.
I never order pizza at Bertucci's, but they do make effective use of their brick ovens for other dishes, too. Their baked tortellini w/ chicken is friggin' superb.
All in all, a more-than-worthy alternative to the dreaded Olive Garden.

I had some thoughts on the piece, and the reaction, that are a bit bulky for this space, but they are here:

That's true... I've found deer that were hunted purely for their racks and the scavengers enjoyed them. However, for others it turns into an addiction
Even for those who once were an admirable hunter.
