Eating some fresh tomatoes with homemade goat cheese this morning...

Among the many things New Yorkers pride ourselves on is food: making it, selling it and consuming only the best, from single-slice pizza to four-star sushi. We have fish markets, Shake Shacks and, as of this year, 74 Michelin-starred restaurants.
Yet most everything we eat is fraudulent.
In his new book, “Real Food Fake Food,” author Larry Olmsted exposes the breadth of counterfeit foods we’re unknowingly eating. After reading it, you’ll want to be fed intravenously for the rest of your life.

Thank you. That explains it better than any other explanation I ever heard. You are chewing and you . . . hope this is not too disgusting . . . finally get to something that can’t be chewed up. That must be the glue.

My grandmother cooked with olive oil, not too much but enough to make the food taste like it was supposed to. When I was going away to college, she said they won’t be cooking with olive oil so be sure to eat a tablespoon of it every day.
She picked dandelions in the park (you have to get them when they first appear, otherwise too tough), and we had cooked dandelion greens once a year. She also drank the pot liquor that greens were cooked in.
I always loved her cooking and later found out (from Marcella Hazan) that it sounded like real Italian cooking. My father’s was a bit heavier. She was first-generation, so a bit closer to the real thing. It is light and not too fancy. It’s hardest to cook simple things right.

NICE!
Thanks for the link to the Tampa article on “farm-to-table” restaurants. Interesting reading and worth the time for anybody who eats.

The deer that pass through my yard every night would have a feast on that!
All I can manage are a few cherry tomato plants on the deck. I’d have to build a 6 foot deer fence in my yard to have a garden.
Looks wonderful. Are those black cherry tomatoes?
Lots of google hits for “Spushi”.
Never cared much for Spam after seeing the Viking Chorus.
;^)
I’m with them, I’ve pretty much given up on eating.
Much healthier now...

“Spushi”
That’s the funniest new word I’ve heard in years. It almost sounds like what Hillary & Huma have regularly.
“Where’s Cankles and AbbaDabba?”
“Don’t ask. They’re doing spushi. You don’t want to know more.”
Definitely not my invention but I took an immediate liking to it.
Just a bit of hyperbole there huh?
While TPN is great while you’re NPO (medical TLAs - isn’t that cool? There’s a three letter acronym for three level acronyms - NPO translates to “nothing by mouth,” and TPN is “total parenteral nutrition,” or in other words, IV feeding.
While it saved my life while I was completely bed-ridden and NPO for more than a month, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Do not go to these over priced, largest waste of food and the biggest waste of my money soup kitchens until dragged kicking and screaming by my wife into one.
AND that is not very dang often
Until I started waitressing a year ago I never snacked after supper. I now work through supper and eat around 11:00 pm. I wonder if that will affect me, despite the fact that I’m moving quickly and constantly for hours on those nights. Last night I was quite hungry and ate two plates of Ceasar salad and a bowl of soup at 11:30. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but I probably shouldn’t have eaten that much. It might have been the glass of wine that tainted my judgment.
