Obesity and the Obama Administration: A Blogger Roundtable Discussion (October 2009)

Braised Pork in Guajillo Chile Sauce (October 2007)
This recipe, from the exceptional cookbook Daisy Cooks,
changed how I cook. It introduced me to brand new ingredients, taught me a totally new cuisine--and led to a highly embarrassing story of me attempting to speak Spanish with a shopgirl in a Mexican specialty foods store.How can I support Casual Kitchen?

I like your historical post roundups. I hadn't read the roundtable discussion. Very interesting ideas! Mine would be along the lines of access to healthy food for sure. Both in ending the corn subsidies and also in promoting growing of local food, access to grocery stores.
Though those last two are more of a local thing.
Thanks Marcia, and I hear you on your views. I'm totally in agreement with ending corn subsidies. In my view it's a deeply ironic unintended consequence that we're making ourselves fat through government largesse in this way.
I'm hoping to do some more of those blogger roundups in the near future--they brought out some really interesting thinking.

Posts of yours I haven't read. Awesome. You found me in October 2008, so certainly there are ones I still haven't seen!
I want to make the pork in guajillo chile sauce. I already have a bag at home, so it would be a cinch. We could make multiple meals outta that.
I also clicked on a "related post" under the pork, your little tidbit about the bhut jolokia. I'm not sure how I missed the fact that you are a chile head (or maybe I knew, and forgot, drunkenly), but... *fist bump*.
Melissa, fist bump right back at ya. :) And be sure to tell me how it comes out--it's truly a great, great recipe.

Big fist bump to a fellow chile-head and foodie thinker.
Totally appreciate the links to past articles, since blog reading isn't my full-time gig. Simply can't keep up with you!
