magpie — you’re probably already familiar with it, but just in case — have you ever tried tempeh bacon? I can’t remember who makes it, but it’s in a light maroon package and is available at every natural foods store I’ve ever been to. I’m not a vegetarian, but I buy it every now and again and really like it. Actually, I think that would make a good substitute for the chorizo in this recipe…

This looks great. I usually go to the Union City farmers’ market, but I don’t think I’ve seen dandelion greens… I’ll have to look harder. I’m a vegetarian, but I end up being vegan about 95% of the time. I don’t intentionally cook with eggs and dairy, but I’m not going to fuss if they’re in something that I order at a restaurant. My honey is not a vegetarian, but I’ve gotten him hooked on things like tofurkey deli slices, seitan, and other yummy meat alternatives. I hope that this kind of diet is helping the planet… Happy earth day!

TJ - Thanks for stopping by! I read the Michael Pollan article in the NYTimes, and as always, liked what he had to say. It’s interesting to think of planting a garden as an environmentalist/political act; I consider shopping at the Farmer’s Market to be in a similar vein — whatever I can do to opt out of our broken, dominated by agribiz, high-fructose-corn-syrup loving food system counts in my book

Deborah - one other thing I wanted to mention about getting food from outside your food shed has to do with the definition of ‘local’ — The opposite of ‘local’ isn’t necessarily ’somewhere else’ — to me the opposite of ‘local’ is ‘produced in an unsustainable manner by agribusiness’; if a producer follows sustainable practices but is located in a different state, I’ll definitely consider buying from them
