While these things are gorgeous, this post is silly to the point of being irresponsible. Why would you buy these overpriced filled spice tubes from Dean & Deluca? You should have provided a link to a reasonably-priced source. Also, about "Having beautiful decor in the kitchen inspires and nurtures our soul." What a ridiculous, empty, throwaway statement. What does it even mean? That having pretty stuff makes you happy? Makes you a better person? In particular stuff in the kitchen?

Just put your compost in a reused plastic bag and store it in the freezer. I suspect that anything above and beyond that is unnecessary consumption.

This is an excellent recipe.

This was very good, even without the pancetta. Next time I might throw a parmesan rind in.

Ha! I just thought his forehead looked like plastic, but you are dead right about the lion.

Wow. Dropping Satellite, Netflix, and a landline doesn't sound as much like economizing as rationalizing. Truly unnecessary things.

I'm confused about:

1) why you would ever want to put sugar in a smoothie when fruit has plenty of sugar in it as it is, and
2) why anyone would need a recipe for a smoothie, let alone a blog post.

I have Bittman's book, and I don't like it. (Though I do like his NYT articles.) It is exactly like an encyclopedia -- nice to own, but you'll never use it.

Yes, you are right! I overlooked that part. I'm glad they are being responsible about this.

Why didn't they set a good example by getting a dog from the shelter? 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized every year.

I believe that Daniel, Chanterelle, and Gramercy Tavern all offer meat from Vermont Quality Meats (www.vtqualitymeats.com/)

>>Either way all vegetarians can't deny random cravings for meat.

I disagree! I have been a vegetarian for 8 years. I do crave fish sometimes, but I never crave any other type of meat. And considering how many vegetarians eat fish, I wouldn't consider that a "meat" craving.

What did people do with dairy pre-fridges? They milked the cow right before drinking the milk, for sure, but what about cheese and butter? Did they keep that in cold basements or something?

It's not evolution that makes them so common. It's the fact that they are cheap. Yes, technology had to evolve to make them cheap, but technological evolution isn't to blame here.

Balled up pieces of paper about the size of a post-it note. Great use for subscription cards but other paper will do, too! I consider this an instance of "reuse" in "reduce, reuse, recycle." And of course I recycle them when they are in tatters.

The key to making these balls (which we call "crumples") exciting for cats is to either flick them with a finger or toss them in an arc over the cat's head. Our girl cat likes the former, our boy cat the latter. Flicking from a high surface is extra fun for them.
