While its really great I dont think you can say its better than Otto's who deserves our support for the courageous stand that he has taken against the drug dealers in his hood.

Thank you for shining a light on the terrible conditions in factory hog farms. This type of revelation is what inspired us at http://www.MalamaFarm.com to prove out a model of gentle, kind and nurturing pig farming. We believe it is a privilege to eat meat, and we want to honor the lives of the animals. We have found that providing natural, clean conditions along with a diet of fresh vegetables,

I am enjoying your blog and just jotted down your cottage cheese pancake recipe for my own experimentation!

About shrimp: Aren't they imported from Southeast Asia where they are unenvironmentally farmed, damaging mangrove forests, polluting the water, etc? According to all of the seafood watch organizations, imported shrimp is a red light choice.

Fresh food is the best. This looks really good. I want to become a better cook but I don't know how best to do it.

I think rye bread is better than eating bagels with smoked salmon. If you are from New York, better options is to get good Lituanian or Ukrainian Rye bread varities from Russian/Eastern European stores. Some knowledge is needed due to proliferation of ersatz and cheapened varieties that are produced in Brooklyn. There is a great Borodinskiy bread made with formula and yeast starter from the old

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. I don't know where the soybeans are grown though. I should check with the producers.

I wonder how many places on the US even have locally-produced nattō. It's one reason we moved here when we left Japan.

Have you had fresh hearts of palm? The taste and texture are quite different from canned. I think it's more like bamboo shoot (takenoko) than daikon. Daikon has a much sharper flavor, especially raw.

I love daikon, especially grated (daikon oroshi). Daikon is also delicious simmered (nimono) so I'll bet it would be good made with wakame, the same way I did with the hearts of

I think the greens were sautéed spinach (from SKA) with shiitake. The cauliflower was from Pit Farms (roasted with Penzeys Singapore seasoning). You can always click on a photo to enlarge it.

Hi Nancy. Where are you located? I buy it at Whole Foods Kahala. If you can't find Mestemacher, look in health food stores for a vollkornbrot or other dense bread with whole kernels. The ingredients in the sunflower seed bread in the photo are: whole kernel rye, water, wholemeal rye flour, sunflower seed, iodized salt, oat fiber, yeast. It is dense but not crisp. I prefer the breads with
