hopeful.

marion nestle lays out her “Hot food issues ready to boil over this year.” she wrote all of the words i wanted to say in this new, bleary-eyed decade. (blaming the champagne. and the vodka.)

but. i have a plan for all those collard greens i bought. thank you, nytimes. steamed and stuffed and rolled. i continue to love food i can eat with my hands. i am thinking sunday.

and, one bleak news topic i should have kept in the last decade: beef injected with ammonia! purposefully. you could not pay me to eat ground beef. it's always recalled and, apparently, filled with poison.
