Amy, you helped make it so. Thans for your delicious canned foods - I was sad not to be able to keep eating pickles on sunday night. I sure could use some now. :-)
Darren, I don't know anything about Fabian's. What's your experience been?
Emily, I totally agree with your point about shopping at small places, especially those where you can ask loads of questions to understand what exactly you're buying and how it's been raised and caught.
Thanks both of you for being part of the discussion. Let's keep it going.
Thanks for the note, Tracey! Lucia is a real treasure, and I can't recommend her cafe enough - there's a $9.95 lunch special that includes a sandwich, salad, cookie, and a drink that is the perfect accompaniment to a walk around Lake Calhoun. Totally agree about crumbs too - aren't those what get licked off the plate when everything else is gone? :-)
I had the pleasure of meeting Lucia Watson when she spoke to our global studies class on the Politics of Eating at UMN, and yet I still haven't visited either of her restaurants! I am so lame.
Well, if this Budapest bundt cake doesn't draw me in . . .! As for the term 'crumb', I'm still waiting for a chance to use it - usually, when I'm describing baked good, it's "[mmmph]yum[mmmmph]" as I wipe the crumbs from my lips. 8-)
there are local places, such as > Coastal Seafoods, that sell sustainably farmer and/or wild caught seafood, including shrimp. Go to Coastal, speak with one of the fishmongers and ask questions about where your fish comes from and how it was caught or raised. I believe fish/seafood is one of the better parts of the popular american diet, so personally i wouldn't suggest eating less, I would suggestpeople shop small, local places and ask lots of questions.
Would you advocate an option of fresh caught shrimp (vs. farmed)? I've used the following direct to consumer route for shrimp and it's not any more expensive than fresh shrimp at Byerly's or Coastal Seafoods: http://www.fabianseafood.com/
WOOT! Elizabeth R, those were indeed homemade pickles made of Farmers Market cucumbers, cayenne, garlic, and dill, and also with love straight from the heart. (Awww.) Brought my best game for the SG&T crowd.
Of course, so did everyone else. I can't remember being at a more delicious pot luck ever in my whole life ever EVER! Not once.
Thanks for your note, Melissa! I'm honored to be the recipient of your chow-chow and beans - thanks so much. I hope to try them both very soon. As for next year ... you're on. :-) It was great to meet you 4.

Thanks Emily ad Darren. THere are services such as FishPhone that do their best to point people towards the right seafoods too (here's info: http://simplegoodandtasty.com/2009/06/08/fishphone-shows-the-way-to-sust...).
