From a friend’s blog: “There’s a lot to love about this part of the country, where you wake up every morning to spectacular vistas and go to bed every night with stars blazing in a pitch black sky. Where ranches are 10,000 to 20,000 acres, and talk at dinner is about where the cattle will be grazing next. Where you drive very slowly on winding gravel roads, and patiently wait for a calf to wander across the road in front of you. Where your livelihood is your entire life, and you raise your children, hoping that at least one of them will opt for the ranching life so your legacy can live on.

And weddings are not just family events – they are celebrations for the entire town.” http://bit.ly/q48Tnw

A great article about the worst food trends: http://yhoo.it/ndBDBo

I could not agree with more with this statement: “2. Sous vide: Chefs love sous vide, a technique that involves vacuum-sealing food in plastic wrap and simmering it at low temperature for long periods of time, the way your great-aunt may have done with her Daisy Seal-a-Meal. There is no waste with sous vide-all the juices stay in the meat or fish-and it is all very scientific. But while in theory it seems like a good idea to cook a lamb loin to a perfect, rosy rare 126°, in practice it means that every bite of your main course is exactly like every other bite of your main course, which is to say bland, bloody, and soft as Soylent Green. Call us old-fashioned, but we like fire.” I hate sous vide. Blech.
