OMG, Lesbiman, you just made me think of something: I wonder if a lot of organic produce is made outside the US, where it isn’t as regulated? Wal-Mart is the biggest seller of organic food in the country.
There’s a small ring of local growers in the Hudson, NJ and Long Island areas and they supply our local restaurants, green markets, grocery stores, and CSAs. I’ve met the farmers, literally, working alongside them at the CSA and encountered the produce (it’s recognizable) in the restaurants. For example, it’ll be all ramps at home followed by beets and then same thing at Northest Kingdom and then sure enough we noticed a little sign in the window saying they were buying from the same farm that supplies our CSA. And then I see it again at Marlowe & Daughters grocery. Etc. It’s noticeably better than the “organic” at the faudega (Sunac). They probably buy that at Costco.
Maybe Rob’s right. Scandal! Someone should do a test.
Organic what??? Are you telling me organic lettuce & organic carrots taste any better than the same Geuns species of non-organic lettuce & carrots. NOPE.
But yes, anything organic tastes better with bacon, especially a salad with lettuce.
Anyway, I’m thinking of cooking veal Osso bucco this weekend.
And the orgasmatron robots? Is this your segue into Raunch hour, Legion?

…ha ha, yeah I forgot about that orgasmatron!
the future sure ain’t what it used to be.
Speaking of organic food and cattle and all that,
there’s a movie making the rounds on HBO these days
called Temple Grandin,
Just happened to catch it late when I was bored but
it’s actually quite interesting.
It’s about this autistic woman who transforms the entire
cattle industry in America by altering the way they are
processed.
Her autism gave her insight into the lives of cows and she designed ingenious methods of efficiency despite her
problems in relating to others.
It’s with Claire Danes.
True Story apparently.
I like the tile too! Very pretty!

Legion – Yes, it’s true. Her autobiography is a great read.
Legion,
That movie is on my list to see. I thought it was Dr. Moolittle though. (OK, my bad)
“um was in the right apartment? snappy’s apartment is the only flat in the building tho. right?”
Yes, Rob, there is only one flat…I was just having a bit of fun. Sorry!
“Holy smoke, Apartments and Lofts is doing vintage style apartments now near McCarren Park. Check out the ad on Brownstoner >>>>>>’
hate those vessles as well but I do like the tile in the bathrooms.
mopar, that would be awesome if you can do a dinner party at some point once you’re moved in.
“DIBS, organic tastes better.”
