SO good, great wine too

Y'all, this spinach pie rocked! I would use less salt next time, but I loved the radicchio addition, and overall, this is just a darn good dish. And how could it not be with 7 eggs, 1 stick of butter, 2 pounds of spinach and so forth?! Ooh! For a (probably unnecessary) side, I made roasted potatoes and mushrooms with Meyer lemon zest and mint. Aren't these purple potatoes insanely pretty?

We also opened a terrific bottle of wine for a little celebration: the Juslyn 2005 Cab. Friends in Chicago on Sedgwick, you would LOVE this.

Spinach pie looks fab, Tom's latte art

Y'all, isn't Tom's latte art getting good? I'm very proud and also very happy to be the beneficiary of it each day. As well, this spinach pie is going to be insanely good, although working with phyllo dough does make me want to put a fork in my eye. Eff. Gives you a lot of respect for baklava makers. Anyway, I can't wait to eat this. Threw a little radicchio in there for kicks.

Recent article from NRDC's newsletter

The National Resources Defense Council, a great (!) pro-environment organization, publishes a monthly enewsletter called This Green Life. I find it informative, fair and very user-friendly. Click here for this month's letter which begins with a nice, easy-to-read starter piece on factory farming vs humanely raised animals.
