  Thanks Tom

  I was thinking about just such a pasta recipe as the scapes-n-greens thing for a dinner this week to accompany grilled wild ungulate. I have scapes to trim and spinach that's bolting. If you don't mind I think I'll add some sauteed morels just to funk it up a bit more. Thanks for solidifying my menu.

  Oh, and love your posts, btw. Keep up the good work.On Now's the time for scapes and green garlic posted 1 year, 4 months ago 12 Responses

  fire; the old scapegoat

  While Mr. Grunwald's indictment of South Florida's water management is more than likely warranted, his derision towards fire in the Everglades is misplaced. The namesake "glades" are a fire-dependent ecosystem. One could hypothesize that mismanagement of water has in this case led to unusually severe fire effects. But rather than take a careful data-driven look at real on-the-ground fire effects, Grunwald would rather use hyperbole and arm-waving before the embers have even cooled.

  Call me an ignorant hippie

  Don't forget stinky.

  As odo likes to point out, predicting the socio-econo-politico- implications of peak oil is problematic. True dat.

  But having just seen Jim Hanson, live in concert, one of the main factors for mitigating GW that he harped on is the urgent need to put a price on carbon. Strikes me that as the global petroleum supply and demand curves shoot past each other like fighter jets in an air show, the price-o-petro is bound to rise significantly. That sounds like a good thing to me, assuming you believe in all this climate-change stuff.

  That said, Hanson was also adamant that coal is where the real issue lies. And if we react to petro shortage by substituting coal-based liquid fuels....On Reports bring various doomy and gloomy predictions posted 2 years ago 5 Responses
