Event: Slow Food Lambstravaganza

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

I'm robbing the Slow Food St. Louis description because, well, I wrote it.  It's coming up quick, and it's sure to sell out so you might want to move quick.  In the stories from previous years I've heard words like "kidneys" and "lamb sweet breads" meaning my words are simply: ...

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Alanna posted about glazed turnips the other day, and when I read her post, it occurred to me I still had a bunch of turnips buried deep within "MY FRIG, THE ROOT CELLAR" too. I'd bought them from Claverach Farms a couple months ago with no idea what I'd ...

"The best way to save the old time poultry is to return them to our dining tables." --Frank R. Reese Jr. Ian beat me to it, but the New York Times article on Heritage turkeys really is worth mentioning again if you stumble in here instead of there. I'd looked into obtaining a ...

American Grass Fed Beef at Whole Foods

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007
