Greetings! I want to make sure that everyone has seen Mark Bittman's Food Manifesto for the Future, currently the most popular article on nytimes.com. I suspect that none of his recommendations for a healthier, more sustainable food production system will be new to any of you. And I don't have anything to say about it, except that I would gladly sign up for his Civilian Cooking Corps. But as I'm a Bittman Booster, I had to post it.
In cooking news, Monday I made Spaghetti with Fried Eggs, which was once known as "poor man's spaghetti," but falling food prices and rising incomes have since brought tomato sauce within reach of all. Basically you lightly fry eggs in a lot of olive oil and pour it over spaghetti. It might have been very good, but I overcooked the eggs, so they weren't runny enough to form a decent sauce. But still tasty. Tonight I made a stir fry with tofu, broccoli, and onions. It was quick, easy, and very satisfying. Not much more to say about that.
Oh, and Natalia, to respond to your request for vegetarian gluten free recipes, I do have one I like. A chickpea and butternut squash stew, served over couscous. I've only done it once before, but with good results. You can find the recipe here, on the website of a competing food blog (apparently we were not the first to come up with that idea).
