Dinner Party Galore
Lately, I’ve been putting together a list of dinner party / themed party ideas. As you might expect, each is somewhat, if not directly food-related. Even as the list grows, I have every intention of fulfilling each one. The first step towards making things real is to share the idea or thought with others.

Food Fantasies
For the last several weeks I have repressed my thoughts. This blog is both a blessing and a curse for my imagination.

The Grass-Fed Manifesto (part 4)
The truth will see you free (and prevent heart, blood and weight ailments.) As I’ve discussed in the past, the importance of eating animals that are raised and fed pasture their whole lives is imminent. I have no desire to repeat myself on this issue, rather I want to use a recent New York Times blog post to reiterate the credibility of my claims.
