Meg over at Megnut does an excellent job of summarizing this weekends Michael Pollan article (I’ll confess, it was too long for me to try to read online, until I saw her posting.) It is well worth reading the full thing after reading these wonderful cliff-notes for it!

America: Where shameless consumption is a good thing…
Now you can get a mini-hummer at McDonald’s. Some jokes just write themselves!

Every two weeks the small group that meets at my apartment has dinner together, so that means that every other week I find myself rushing home to make a meal for anywhere from 5 to 8 or so people. My self-appointed task is “the main dish…” and for this I rotate through pretty much everything in the meat counter, it is like a Sunday dinner on a Monday night. This week our meal was delicious, eliciting one guest to say it was the best roast chicken that they have had. Check out the recipe at Epicurious. Perhaps next time I will remember to post a photo of the meal before it has been devoured.
