In Season: Green Beans

WE had our fave green beans for dinner tonight: trimmed and rinsed, tossed with a bit of olive oil and sliced onion, the whole mess grilled until speckled with brown, then drizzled with sesame oil and sprinkled with kosher salt. yum! Even my 11 year old requests them!

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

I often fall back on an old college favorite - a sort of ham salad generated by grinding together a hot dog, a slice of cheese, and a hunk of onion, then adding a dab of mayo and spreading on whatever breadstuff is handy!

I didn't even know which one was the old one. If ou can't tell them apart, what's the point of a press release?

Why Pepperoni Pizza Sucks

Green olives and onion. I ate it first at the insistence of a girl I was dating. She's now a distant foggy memory, but her pizza toppings still provoke the occassional craving.

Grocery bagging violations

The baggers at the store I go to do an excellent job with the actual bagging: meats separated, cleaners separated, etc.
The problem I have is with the checkers. The scan the items, then fling them down the belt to the bagger. tomatoes (fling!) bread (fling!) bananas (fling!) canned goods (fling!) Ach! you've just ruined everything! cracked tomatoes, crushed bread, bruised bananas, split yogurt. At least the yogurt gets noticed (usually) and I don't have to pay for it.

Is Cheese Vegetarian?

I totally agree, greenfield. People talk about the slippery slope, but ALL of morality is a slippery slope. Each of us needs to stake out a place on the slope where we can keep our footing - whether that entails a dietary restriction or not. With the inter-relatedness of each element of the earth, every action we take has consequences - intended and unintended. No one can achieve an impact-free life, so its a matter of reaching a point where we can deal with the results of our actions. Education is an important part of the equation - we can't judge whether we're comfortable with the consequences of our actions until we know what those consequences are. And that's why I really like this article. Informative and curious, without getting too judgemental.

Full disclosure: I've been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for almost 20 years. I never eat meat (though I still get the occassional unsatisfied craving for a liverwurst sandwich), and I try to avoid cheese made with animal rennet though I'm not rabid about it.
