Sites I have been reading:

the hungry tiger.  I really enjoy this blog - always interesting posts and tempting recipes.

U.S. Food Policy.  An new blog with a food economy perspective.  (via someone else's blog ... I can't remember who!  If it's you, let me know so I can credit you)

Blue Bottle Clown College.  One of the guys over at Blue Bottle Coffee Company has started a blog with stories about working for the best coffee company in the world.  In case you missed it in the Chronicle, BBCC is opening up a coffee kiosk in Hayes valley ... on Linden Street (b/w Hayes and Fell, west side of Gough)

What I have been cooking:

White Beans with Black Kale and Savoy Cabbage, Local Flavors, Deborah Madison
Meatloaf from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook

What I have been reading:

Eat Here: Homegrown Pleasures in a Global Supermarket by Brian Halwell.  Halwell's argument for buying locally grown goods is sound and makes complete sense.  I suggest this book to anyone who is either on the fence about buying locally, or who needs more backup information in order to talk to others about buying locally.

Nothing to do with food:

This is an article about why Alias is such a great show.
I am currently listening to this new album by Tegan & Sara, and it is fantastic.
