Plate to Plate

This weekend, high off Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and our scrumptious meals of late, I told Dan that I was this close to becoming a local food evangelist.

And, well, what do you know? The Times beat me to it.

The connection between what I put in my body, the land around me and the miracle of things that grow makes me feel as if I’m part of something bigger than myself.

But before you dismiss me as some sort of patchouli-scented wacko, allow me to share my hedonistic bottom line: a perfect ear of Long Island corn or a lovely little lump of Hudson Valley goat cheese simply tastes better to me than anything I may find at the supermarket.
